Its been a game changer for sure. So hey just a big thanks for that again! ”

I purchased four PBA life planners for our sales team as a trial and to try and formulate a common language around time management and planning.
They’ve proved invaluable and cleared our heads, but most importantly, they are enjoyable to use which makes consistency a given.
One of the game changers, which no one should dismiss as too simplistic is, planned Vs actual columns for each day.
Many business leaders and employees will have heard advice going back years about keeping timesheets. A really successful guy I know, he got into the practice of keeping timesheets decades ago – and is ahead of the pack.
I’ve had several attempts at recording timesheets, including digital apps, standalone sheets, excel etc – but nothing so far has come close to the ease of:
1. Recording an action list which lives seamlessly day to day…
2. Prioritising it…
3. Time blocking… It into each day
4. Finally, very easily recording actual actions against the plan which then educates and informs as to better planning
For anyone who thinks that a digital to do app/outlook calendar is sufficient, I’d say that going back to paper is not a pointless duplication but a powerful joint method that anchors good time management practice but also pulls in activity tracking (yes there’s space for recording exercise as well!), goal setting, journalling and so on.

I recently purchased the Life Planner 2025 from Premier Business Academy and I have to say I am very impressed, I really like the fact that I am going back to pen and paper. It has a great layout to support you in ensuring you find success and growth over the year. Each page keeps you on track with your goals and I am excited with the great balance between work and home life. I have often struggled with learning from my previous day but this planner is set up for that with a ‘plan and actual’ section, perfect for identifying the areas which didn’t add you value for the day and make those small incremental improvements every day to give you more productive time for the next day.
The information section at start of the planner has been a great learning tool and I have already put into action one of the tools. Each day I define my priorities into a simple A, B, C system to ensure I have control over my actions. The support from Bernard and the team has been fantastic and I can’t wait to get stuck in to 2025 with some massive life changes planned and the confidence behind me to stay on track with them as I have the Life Planner.
Thank you to the Premier Business Academy for sharing such a useful tool for anyone to use and add value to what they do.
Many Thanks

I’ve seen many leaders across multiple operations rise and fall, and I’ve noticed two key differences between executives who succeed and those who burn out. The first is mindset—successful leaders approach challenges with an open mind and embrace problems as opportunities. The second is time management—they focus on what truly matters, and when their day gets off track, they reflect on why and course-correct.
The PBA Daily Planner is a game-changer for managing both mindset and time. It helps you focus on what’s important while also reflecting on those chaotic days that pull you away from your goals.
I’ve tried many planners from well-known business coaches that promise to unlock your performance, only to feel defeated after a week because I still needed other tools to plan and reflect. This is where the PBA Planner stands out. It’s clear that it’s been road-tested by people actively managing businesses and leading teams. Everything included serves a purpose—there’s no fluff.
Best of all, if you think of an improvement, the PBA team is all ears. They use this planner every day themselves, so they’re genuinely invested in making it as effective as possible.
