Franklin Planner (original) (raw)

The Franklin Planner is a paper-based time management system created by Richard I. Winwood first sold in 1984 by Franklin International Institute, Inc. The planner itself is the paper component of the time management system developed by Winwood. Winwood named his planning system after Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790) who kept a small private book, as detailed in The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. A core technique of the Franklin Planner system involves beginning each day with 15 minutes of "solitude and planning".
