\u00a0So from all my scouring, ranging from basic features to in depth goal planning, here\u00a0are the ones I&#8217;m admiring.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>01|\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/b8edvhb6uzf\" target=\"_blank\">Sugar Paper Planner<\/a>&#8211; Every year I get the Sugar Paper Planner and every year it ends up being my favorite of all. \u00a0This year especially I feel they&#8217;ve perfected the balance of simple and detailed. \u00a0The weekly notes pages have sections to list your top three priorities for the week, to-do list with check boxes, to email, to buy, goals, all while staying compact with plenty of note taking space. \u00a0I love the sturdy binder cover and while I like\u00a0this kraft color one, I like my gray one more. \u00a0Monthly tabs, monthly overview, clean design, this planner has become my standard for perfect and I really don&#8217;t need to look at other ones\u00a0but I do anyway.<\/p>\n<p>02|\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ilovebook.bigcartel.com\/product\/2016-basic-planner-white-black\" target=\"_blank\">Marjolein Delhaas Basic Planner<\/a>&#8211; Got this one purely because it&#8217;s beautiful and everything I love about minimal design.\u00a0 Though gorgeous, it\u00a0doesn&#8217;t fulfill all my needs, but this is by far the planner design of my dreams. \u00a0If we could get the Sugar Paper Planner to look like this I&#8217;ll vow to stop looking for another planner again (for a little bit). \u00a0Also this &#8220;almond&#8221; color has been added to my list of favorite colors.<\/p>\n<p>03|\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/shop.anorganisedlife.com\/products\/2017-diary-pre-order\" target=\"_blank\">An Organised Life<\/a>&#8211; Another minimal beauty that keeps it pretty basic, with a rare inclusion of a pen holder- I appreciate that. \u00a0Again, this is one I love for the design and is definitely geared more towards a free-form planner user that doesn&#8217;t want too much structure.<\/p>\n<p>04|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mochithings.com\/products\/60540\" target=\"_blank\">Journal J<\/a>&#8211; Love the cover and layout\/design of the pages. \u00a0Clean lines and fonts, I see you.\u00a0 A subtle detail I noticed is how each day in the weekly view is enclosed in a square shape. \u00a0This is way more spatially comfortable\u00a0for\u00a0how I mostly write in lists and something I&#8217;d see myself appreciating. \u00a0I also like the extra notes and drawing pages.<\/p>\n<p>05|\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gettoworkbook.com\/product\/2017-get-to-work-book\" target=\"_blank\">Get to Work Book<\/a>&#8211; I have come so close so many times to getting this one after repeatedly hearing great things about it. \u00a0I think what holds me back is that 1) it&#8217;s bulky and 2) has a lot going on that I&#8217;m not sure I would use. \u00a0Still, I&#8217;m very curious to check it out for the project breakdown pages and reflect and goal-set pages. \u00a0The layout of everything also feels very intuitive and\u00a0easy to navigate.<\/p>\n<p>06|\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/b8egawb6uzf\" target=\"_blank\">Grid Planner<\/a>&#8211; Just beautiful and one of my favorite patterns, who knew. \u00a0A bit of a no-no for me that it&#8217;s undated but I can forgive that. \u00a0I like how each day has a list by hour of the day plus a blank space for notes or drawings. \u00a0The extra space for notes next to each week in the monthly view is also very clutch.<\/p>\n<p>07|\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.poketo.com\/products\/project-planner\" target=\"_blank\">Project Planner<\/a>&#8211; This too is annoyingly undated but uniquely\u00a0focuses on project planning and timelines. \u00a0Lots and lots of note taking space and features for\u00a0organizing project info, and still has monthly and weekly views.<\/p>\n<p>08|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/startplanner.com\/products\/2017-hustle-daily-business-edition-planner\" target=\"_blank\">Hustle Daily Business Planner<\/a>&#8211; \u00a0One of the more hardcore ones I&#8217;m mentioning and it&#8217;s geared towards business planning as the name already suggests. I&#8217;m super intrigued to test this one out since I file it under hoping it gets the work done for me, HA. \u00a0Has a ton of features like budgeting, social media planning, goal tracking, health and food planning, etc&#8230; \u00a0It also once again feels like it might be overkill, but also might be\u00a0life-changing??<\/p>\n<p>09|\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/b8ehh6b6uzf\" target=\"_blank\">Productivity Planner<\/a>&#8211; Came really close to getting this one on a few occasions, too. \u00a0I see this as something more supplemental to a regular planner since it focuses on a productivity method. \u00a0It employs the Pomodoro system which breaks down a large task\u00a0into time intervals with short breaks in between. \u00a0This is actually the way I try to work now but I&#8217;d be interested in seeing if tracking the progress in this planner would help keep me more focused.<\/p>\n<p>10|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dailygreatness.co\/collections\/all\/products\/dailygreatness-business-planner\" target=\"_blank\">Daily Greatness Business Planner<\/a>&#8211; \u00a0The other hardcore one on this list. \u00a0The business vision planning\u00a0and action pages look both challenging and beneficial, maybe to the point of intimidation but I have yet to adopt a system that keeps me on top of these exercises. \u00a0I see this as a good place to start establishing structure and building healthy business habits. \u00a0Side note: wish it came in more colors.<\/p>\n<p>Wouldn&#8217;t it be cool if all planners offered smaller trial run versions so you can test them out and then make a better decision of which one you&#8217;ll commit to for a WHOLE year? \u00a0Told you this is a very important decision. \u00a0Here&#8217;s where you tell me what planner you use, or are going\/wanting to use, or think I should use. \u00a0Thoughts? \u00a0Contemplating a new option from this list?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is time&#8230; to make that very important decision for the new year. \u00a0While I&#8217;ve been pretty sure on my preferred planner style\u00a0for a long time, I still fantasize that there might be a totally different system out there that transforms my life and boosts my productivity and gets the work done for me or &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/2017-planners\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;2017 Planners&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14918,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[400],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-shop"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14916"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14916\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14934,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14916\/revisions\/14934"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
