On a list of recurring New Year's resolutions, "stay/become more organized" has to be near the top. This can be through better tracking your tasks and events, taking some time each day to write down your goals or even free-writing or sketching to help clear your mind.
Whether you're looking to begin a daily practice that helps you achieve this goal or simply need a new tool for continuing that journey, now is the perfect time to pick up a new planner or journal.
Planners can be as simple as you like or as unique as their owners. Basic little black books are great for the minimalist keeping track of appointments, while gorgeous floral-covered options might appeal to creative types who take extensive notes while marking down their to-dos.
And inside is even more important: Do you want multiple calendar setups so you can look ahead each month and week at your coming plans, or does a blank, unlined page system give you the freedom to take life as it comes? Consider these goals when browsing planner options to ensure you're making a purchase that works well for you.
Another tool for feeling more organized and streamlined is a journal. Personal preference might push you toward a beautiful collection of blank pages, or perhaps you want the prompts of a gratitude journal to get you started -- either can help you feel grounded, peaceful and ready to take on the world.
Whether you're drawn to a meticulously organized planner or want a blank space to record your thoughts each day, continue reading to see planners and journals we love for 2024.
