Worksheets and Planners

ProductiveRamadan To-Do List!

We at ProductiveMuslim developed a to-do list that you can use this Ramadan to help you maximize the use of your precious Ramadan time

The to-do list has regular daily acts, as well as a recommended special act to explore every day. You can check the task that you have fulfilled every day and highlight the ones you still want to explore. This exciting list gives you ideas of good deeds you can do in your extra time as well as deeds you may have missed out on doing for a very long time!

The ProductiveRamadan Ultimate Taskinator

The Ultimate Ramadan Taskinator applies the same concept as the Daily Taskinator, but with a bird’s eye view of the whole month in one glance.

The Ultimate Ramadan Taskinator allows you to list and accomplish 3 to 5 of your most important tasks everyday in the four areas of productivity: physical, spiritual and social. Using the Ramadan Taskinator is extremely easy and simple: you just book times for your most important tasks by writing them down in the appropriate time block of the day. Once you’ve placed the most important tasks in place, you can fill out the rest of your schedule for the day.

ProductiveRamadan Daily Planner

By now you’ve seen the Productive Ramadan Taskinator and, hopefully, jotted down your schedule for the month. Now let’s get down to the nitty-gritty view of each day. This is where the Productive Ramadan Daily Planner comes in.

Using this worksheet, your salah gets top priority on your schedule. In keeping with the aim of a Productive Muslim, we try to earn barakah in our activities by praying at the allotted times and not being engaged in anything else when it’s time for salah. Alongside the schedule, this worksheet also contains brief and useful reminders to help you while planning.

We recommend working on the Productive Ramadan Daily Planner during the previous night, so that you wake up with your schedule in place. All you have to do is follow the list in sequence and feel an empowering sense of accomplishment as you tick items off!

ProductiveRamadan Busy Mom’s Worksheet

When it comes to Ramadan, mothers especially, tend to panic about how they are going to reap the benefits of this blessed month while attending to their myriad regular responsibilities. Therefore we decided to make one of our special resources for moms this Ramadan. Introducing – the Productive Ramadan Worksheet for Busy Moms.

Ramadan Emergent Task Planner (ETP)

This is a unique Ramadan time management tool designed by our friend and productivity design guru, David Seah from DavidSeah.com.

If you haven’t come across David’s work before, he designs pretty cool paper-based productivity tools that help people manage day to day productivity in the most efficient and effective manner. David’s designed a special paper-based productivity tool for Ramadan: the Ramadan Emergent Task Planner (ETP). (If you’re confused about how to use the Ramadan ETP, watch the video tutorial)

Halalify Ramadan Battle Plan 2015

This has got to be the most comprehensive and structured digital/printable Ramadan planner that exists mashaAllah! The Ramadan Battle Plan 2015 is simply the best version of its kind since it was launched a few years ago by Maria Islam of Halalify Islamic Planners.

This planner gives you a monthly overview from Sha’ban through
Shawwal so you’re getting your act together before Ramadan and making the most of the virtues of Shawwal too.

It includes a daily schedule for Ramadan mapped around prayer times followed by an hourly schedule; with check boxes for your daily water intake, number of rak’ahs prayed in taraweeh, a space for two sunnah acts you’d like to perform and a slot to plan a particular aspect of your time, energy or focus each day!

Before you get down to execution, the first section of the planner is packed with Ramadan tips, fiqh of Ramadan and zakah and the most detailed instructions to plan and set your pre-, post- and Ramadan goals like a champ, literally!

Each third of Ramadan begins with a ‘Decompression Chamber’ to:

• mind-dump tasks pending from the previous week and those that need to get done in the next 10 days
• plan good deeds for the next 10 days
• jot down good moments from the previous week
• follow a suggested Qur’an schedule

The planner also features a specific battle plan for the last ten days, a ‘Command Center’ to evaluate your performance in each third of Ramadan, a Qur’an reading roadmap and schedule to finish one reading of the Qur’an in 20 days, a master dua list to make sure you’ve captured everything you want to make dua for, ‘The Vault’ with priceless gems on the virtues of different good deeds and finally ends with a glossary of Islamic and Arabic terms used.

The Ramadan Battle Plan 2015 Premium bundle comes with:

• color options of indigo or tyrian purple
• size options of A5 or letter-half, and
• fillable forms with or without the hourly schedule option
