How to Use Erasable Pens in Your Planner for a More Organised Work Week
I’m Mariane, a planner and stationery lover who believes planning isn’t about being perfect. It’s about making progress.
In my community of over 138K followers across YouTube, Instagram, and my weekly email newsletter, I share simple ways to bring calm and creativity back into planning. I remind my followers to give themselves grace, to stop chasing flawless pages, and to enjoy the process of writing things down, even when life gets messy.
And with a new work year starting, that reminder feels even more important. Getting organised after the holidays can feel messy too, but erasable pens make it easier. You can plan freely, fix mistakes, and keep going without the pressure to be perfect.
Why Erasable Pens Work So Well for Planning
Because they offer flexibility when plans change, without the messy cross-outs. No scribbles, no correction tape, and no pages that feel ruined the moment something changes.
Erasable pens give you the freedom to plan, adjust, and rework your week without worrying about messy pages or wasted paper.
Here’s why they’re great for planning:
You can move meetings or reschedule tasks without crossing things out.
They’re perfect for project planning, daily to-do lists, and time-blocking.
You can plan more freely, knowing a slip-up won’t ruin your page.
When your pen erases clearly, you don’t hesitate to write things down. It takes away the pressure to be perfect and keeps your planner looking tidy even when your plans change.
Whether you’re planning your work week or tracking habits, erasable pens help keep your planner tidy and your mind clear.
How to Choose the Right Erasable Pen for Planning
Not all pens feel the same, and that’s the beauty of the PILOT FriXion range. You can choose the one that fits your style, your planner, and your work routine.
Your planner is something you use every day, so pairing it with a good quality erasable pen makes a big difference. Not all erasable pens erase cleanly, so it’s worth choosing one that treats your pages gently and keeps your spreads looking neat. Choosing a refillable pen also saves money in the long run. Instead of replacing the whole pen, you can just refill it and keep using the tool you already enjoy.
FriXion Zone (0.5 mm & 0.7 mm):
This one just feels good to write with. The ink is dark and clear, which makes everything easy to read. I like using it for work notes or when I want my planner to look tidy without trying too hard.FriXion Waai: The ink feels soft on the page. I like using it at the end of the day to jot a few thoughts or finish off my planner. The pastel look makes the page feel calm, which is nice when you’re winding down.

How to Reset Your Work Week Using Erasable Pens
When a new week starts, plans often shift. You might rewrite meetings, move a project deadline, or rethink priorities. Using erasable pens makes that process simple and calm.
Here’s how I like to reset my week:
Tidy up last week’s pages. Clear small notes or reminders you no longer need so your planner feels fresh and focused.
Rewrite your key tasks. Keep pages clean so you can actually see what’s ahead.
Adjust as you go. Plans change, and erasable ink lets you stay flexible without the clutter.
Using tools that keep things flexible makes a big difference when you’re trying to stay organised. Erasable pens let you update your schedule, shift tasks, and refresh your pages without the clutter, which helps your weekly reset feel smoother and more manageable.
It’s a small habit that makes Monday mornings feel lighter and helps you start the week with a clear head.
A Planning Habit That Sticks
The best planning tools are the ones that help you enjoy the process. When your tools make things easier, you’re more likely to stay consistent.
FriXion erasable pens make that possible. They help you plan clearly, stay flexible, and feel more in control of your week without needing perfect pages to stay productive.
With the right tools, planning stops being about having perfect pages and becomes more about making gentle progress. Plans will change, and that’s part of it. FriXion erasable pens make it easy to erase, rewrite, and keep going in a way that feels calm and manageable.
