Life’s a mess, but your planner doesn’t have to be

18 planners so good, they’ll make procrastination look productive

January—the month where we all collectively lie to ourselves about quitting vaping (insert any other daily vice), joining a gym, and becoming a more organised and better version of who we were last year. But this time, you mean it, right? Right? Whether you’re plotting world domination, tracking your cat’s moods, or just trying to remember what day it is—a good planner can be your trusty self-improvement sidekick.

But because no two people are the same, we’ve got planners to suit every type: the chronically overcommitted jetsetter who needs every itinerary micromanaged, the minimal mystics who believe less is more (but make it aesthetic), and the corporate overlords who schedule meetings with military precision.

From manifestation affirmations to sticker-filled chaos, we’ve rounded up planners so good they’ll make you feel like you’ve got your life together... even if you’re still Googling “how to meal prep” for the third year in a row. So, grab a cup of coffee (or your fifth), pull out your cutest stationery, and let’s find the perfect planner to make 2025 your most organised year yet.

Because, if you can’t control the chaos, you can at least colour-code it.

The sophisticated scheduler

This planner is peak elegance. No neon colours or cutesy designs here—just classic layouts, muted tones, and maybe a touch of gold foil.

The corporate overlords

90% back-to-back meetings, 5% “remind interns I exist,” and 5% “breathe.”

The hot girl goal-getters

Inspired by TikTok’s “Hot Girl Walks” and wellness culture, these include everything from gratitude journaling to tracking your “manifestation affirmations”.

The domestic CEO managing the family empire

You run your household like a Fortune 500 company—think chore charts, meal prep schedules, synced family calendars, colour-coded vacation itineraries, and everything you need for that good life.

The jet-setting planner pro

Serial hopping meetings, flights, or brunches? You need a portable planner that fits in your carry-on, handbag, or even your pocket.

The clutter-free enthusiast

Stickers? Overrated. Washi tape? Too much commitment. Love clean lines, empty margins, and zero chaos? This is for those whose motto reads: “If it’s not tidy, it’s trashy.”
