Take it from someone who cannot function without a daily to-do list… a planner, and more importantly, the right planner, can make all the difference in how your day, week, month, and year. Being able to keep up with all the different tasks, deadlines, events, and groupings of your life can seriously ease the stress and chaos that many of us can feel during the new year.
The pressure to “get it together” can fester and create more distance between you and your goals. Enter a planner that works for you, not against you. We will explore some of the different planners used by our team, and their experiences or recommendations that may assist you in getting a jump on your year.
Tabitha: Ban.do -Being a planner I have purchased for the past few years, their layouts and designs bring joy to each month, week, and day! I recommend purchasing in size large, because it is really the perfect size for an everyday planner to tote around.
Katy: Paper Source – They always have fun prints, provide tabs for each month at a glance, followed by detailed weekly pages, cute stickers for labeling special dates, and a note page for any further documentation needed! It truly has it all.
Lex: Sugar Paper – Sugar paper has been my brand for the past couple of years, especially being an easy Target pickup! With a place for lists and weeks at a glance, it has everything I need!
Elizabeth: Golden Coil – A completely customizable option for the truly Type A individual. They have a variety of beautiful covers, and everything inside is just aesthetically pleasing and functional. If E uses it, you know it has to have it all!
Bailee: The Dailee – This has been my go-to brand for the past three years. No matter the format, as long as it is a Dailee planner, I would highly recommend it. From college to first full-time job, and even wedding planning, The Dailee had everything I could ever need to keep all areas of my life planned and under control.
Kelsey: Google Calendar – With a digital-based position, my laptop is always on hand and the first thing I check each morning, getting settled in for the day. Keeping it all in one place just works for me!
Megan: Paper Source Leather Planner – I have been using this planner for years and years now! It holds up well, which is important for a working mom, and it has all the details I need for my life.
Devan: Post-it notes – With much to juggle already, small notes of information and reminders are all I really need. Don’t knock it if it works.
Honorable Mention:
STIL – Aesthetic, customizable, and includes options for quite literally everyone and everything… I would be remiss to not share about STIL. Woman-owned and operated with a focus on intentional spending and living, this is a planner brand like no other. While a little on the higher side of price points, their customizable approach to the customization of their planners can really make these pretty affordable. Give them a look, and see if this is the brand for your year!
