Using a planner is hard. I’ve personally broken up with mine more times than I can count — until I found the one. Now, it’s my constant companion, and every Sunday night, you’ll find me prepping my planner for the week ahead without fail. (I’m 100% team bullet journal. Ask me all about it!) It’s true: There are more types of planners out there than we know what to do with. If you think you’re not a “planner person,” it might just be because you haven’t found the right one. But that stops now. As we close out 2024 and enter the new year, it’s time to find a self-care solution that makes life easier, not harder.
Whether you want to map out every detail of 2025 (we see you, Virgos), need a simple place to jot down tasks, want to become more mindful, get creative, or find a flexible mix of all of the above, there’s a planner out there for you. To help you get organized for the new year, we scoured the internet — and consulted a few planner obsessives — to uncover the most impactful daily, weekly, and monthly organizers for every type of need.
And for those just starting out on their organizational journey, we’ve got rigorous, dateless options, too, so you can begin (and pause) whenever it suits you. Scroll on to discover the 20 best planners for 2025 — guaranteed to make staying organized and crushing goals feel easy-breezy.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team, but if you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
