6 Of The Best Planners To Help Kick Off The New Semester

Nothing says it's a new year like a new planner!

One of my favorite parts about going into a new school year is getting a new planner. Planners are one of my favorite things, it is, in my opinion, the best way to stay organized. There are a few planners I have been looking at that I think are some of the best. I have made a list of them in case you are looking for one as the beginning of this school year quickly approaches.

1. Lily Pulitzer Planner

Lily Pulitzer Weekly Spread

This is an agenda that has been a personal favorite since high school. At the beginning of every month, it has a month spread. Then after that page, it has a weekly spread. As students, that is a crucial aspect that some planners don't have.

2. A Passion Planner

Weekly Reflection

This planner is one that is helpful for everyone. Teachers, students, parents – everyone. The weekly spread is set up by the times rather then just a space to write. For example, you can write next to 7:30 a.m. "Spin class." This helps people plan out their days to the half an hour, rather than just writing down what you want to do that day. It also has a page that lets you reflect over your past week.

3. Plum Paper

Monthly Reflections and Goals

This one is my second favorite. I have never had it, however, I have looked at it and made my own one every summer. They can be expensive, but they are possibly one of the best and most universal planners. There are a ton of different add-ons that you can order along with the planner. They have meal plans, wedding planning, budgeting, blog planning, reflection, and so many more. Everyone can use this planner: teachers, students, business owners, parents, and everyone else.

4. Erin Condren's Academic Planner

Projects and Exam Spreads

This one is specifically for students. The first few pages help with keeping any projects and exams you have organized. It also has some pages that you can write notes in in case you forgot your notebook. This planner has everything a student would need, including stickers to remind you of important things such as tests or study groups.

5. A Bullet Journal

Bullet Journal Example: Monthly Tracker

This is something you can make by yourself. Personally, I like to make mine in a Moleskin journal. They are a completely individualized agenda. In fact, you don't even have to use it as an agenda if you don't want to. You can put anything in them. You can make it an agenda, write shows you want to watch, make a daily health tracker, and there are so many more pages you can make. It is all up to you. Making this journal yourself makes it so much more personal, which makes it that much better to use.

6. The Prayerful Planner

Daily Spread

This is the last one I am going to suggest. This last one is one that has a little religion in it. I am putting it in here because there are some people are like to keep God in their day and this is a great way to do it. I personally like to have God in my life, and I think that this is perfect because it is the perfect balance between school work and God.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
