How to Choose the Best Agenda/Planner for You

So you want to get organized, but can't seem to find the right planner for you?

Here are 5 questions you need to answer to find the perfect planner for your life.


Question 1: What range of the calendar year do you need?

Academic planner: These planners usually start in August/September and end in July/August of the next year.

Calendar Year planner: These planners will always start on January 1st with some starting earlier such as December of the previous year for a better transition into the coming year.

Undated planner: These planners are great if the first 2 options do not meet your needs. Daily planner versions of this have all the days of the year written (including Feb 29th), but no details on what day of the week or the year, so important dates and holidays such as Easter, Mother's Day and Father's Day, etc would have to be written out by hand. Weekly planner versions are completely blank, leaving it up to you to write the month, day, and day of the week.
