Would you consider yourself to have a Type A personality or Type B personality? Basically, are you ridiculously strict on your schedule, tasks and overall life, or do you prefer to go with the flow? No matter where you stand, your life requires at least a little organization. These seven journals will help you keep your life on track even if you already think you have things all planned out.
1. Get To Work Book — $55
If you’re looking for a no-fuss planner that will lay out your life as is, the Get to Work Book is a perfect choice. Both sleek and expansive, the book holds 246 pages of full monthly calendars, Monday-to-Friday week-at-a-glance spreads, notes space and even room for projects and brainstorming. You can get the book in one of two colors, and you can request that it be bound, unbound or unpunched.
2. Passion Planner — $30
Got a lot to do on a daily basis? We get you, which is why we recommend the Passion Planner. This journal organizes each date by the half-hour so you can schedule small meetings as well as see the full week ahead. You also have space to write down weekly and monthly goals.
3. Ban-Do 17-Month Large Agenda — $32
Want something that will truly inspire you as well as organize your life? This agenda expands your life to 17 months and allows you to write in weekly and monthly plans. The colorful monthly tabs make going back to something important easy, and the planner is vibrant with illustrations created by up-and-coming female artists. You can choose between three beautiful designs.
4. Self Journal — $31.99
If you’re looking to achieve big-picture goals, the Self Journal is your go-to option. The journal offers a three-month outlook on the goals you want to set, which is meant to help you achieve longer-term goals. The journal breaks into manageable chunks so that you don’t feel overwhelmed. The coolest part? The journal strives to help you break bad habits and develop good ones by encouraging you to write in it every day.
5. Erin Condren 18-Month LifePlanner — $60
A planner that covers both the long-term events as well as day-to-day tasks is one that can organize your life on an entirely new level. The Erin Condren 18-Month LifePlanner offers an 18-month outlook with mini-month overviews, monthly calendars, weekly spreads for each month, blank lined pages for brainstorming and even coloring book pages for creative doodles. If this isn’t a do-it-all planner, we don’t know what is.
6. Ink+Volt 2018 Planner — $40
If you’re a goal-based thinker in every aspect, you should look into the Ink+Volt 2018 planner. The planner offers an inspirational outlook for each month as well as a journaling prompt for each day. You can still write in weekly and monthly appointments, but the purpose of this planner is to both organize your goals in one place and challenge you to think creatively. Consider it a combined organizer, wish list and journal for you to jot down your thoughts.
7. DIY: Bullet Journal — free except for cost of supplies
Sometimes a boring old planner just won’t keep your attention. If you’re one of those people who think in an unconventional way (and you want to be budget-friendly), you can make your own bullet journal.
Here’s how it works: Buy a lined notebook or blank journal and get creative. Use different tools like rulers, stickers and colored Sharpies and markers to create your ultimate journal. If you’re a list-maker, make lists. If you prefer a traditional calendar, create a calendar. If you think in terms of days versus weeks, you have the option to create a day-to-day planner. The sky is the limit, and you can use your own brain to organize your life.
