Panda Planner/Business Insider
- Whether you like monthly, weekly, or daily calendar options, a paper planner is an essential tool for keeping your life organized and moving forward.
- The best planner for most people is the Panda Planner with its simple layout and motivational structure that helps you achieve your goals.
Self-improvement is a big business. Who doesn't want to get thinner, fitter, richer, more successful - or just be happier? But to achieve all these things, you've got to get organized. Despite the fact that most of us have some form of electronic calendar on our phones or computers, many people still rely on their paper planning agenda to keep their lives running smoothly.
I'm one of those people. And while I do switch up the brand sometimes, I'm committed to using a planner that breaks down the calendar by the week. Seeing one day at a time - or the whole month - just doesn't work for me.
Some people choose to start fresh with a new planner in January. Others - particularly college students, teachers, and parents - often opt for a 16-month calendar that starts in August or September.
These days, planners usually come with much more than just calendars. In fact, many of the best-selling planners promise to provide you with a whole new lifestyle with features that help you set goals, get inspired, make plans, and keep track of your progress. We've picked out the best planners for everyone from students and teachers to parents and professionals.
Here are the best planners you can buy:
- Best planner overall: Panda Planner
- Best stylish planner: Erin Condren LifePlanner
- Best planner for teachers: Blue Sky Planners
- Best planner for students: Mead Planners
- Best planner for goals: Passion Planner
- Best planner for your desk: Hashi Weekly Planners Pad
