Legend Planner
This planner has changed my life, no exaggeration. I use it for my writing, business (editor/proofreader) and life goals. It’s undated so there’s no reason to wait for 1 January to start getting organised. It also comes in lots of different colours.
Your writer friend can set yearly, three-monthly and monthly goals, then plan their writing each week. They can do a quick review at the end of each month to see if they’re on track. There’s so much more to it than that, but the last thing I have to mention is it comes with motivational stickers. STICKERS!
