As someone who's idea of organization is loosely described as "organized chaos," planners are a godsend for my forgetful brain. In college especially, planners are a great way to keep tabs on important things and not let smaller ticket items fall through the cracks. However, no one planner works best for everyone. After a few days of research for my own planning needs, here's a few good options to consider for your planning needs.

1. For the Preppy Planner: The Lilly Pulitzer Agenda

The Lilly Planner is a classic choice and the go-to for the typical Southern Srat Star. As someone that's used it in years past, it's a great choice for a cute but uncomplicated planner. Get it here.

2. For those who need to really break down their days: The Simplified Planner

The Simplified Daily Planner comes with hourly breakdowns from 6am-9pm, making it the perfect choice for those in need of a play-by-play of their days. Get it here.

3. For those needing more long-term planning: The Purposeful Planner

At the beginning of each month in the Purposeful Planner, there's planning pages for budgets, meals, to-dos, and goals to set each month up for success. Get it here.

4. For Planning with a pop of color: The live WELL Planner

The liveWELL Planner puts a dynamic, color take on extensive planners. Get it here.

5. For the ULTIMATE PLANNER: Erin Condren LifePlanner

The Erin Condren LifePlanner is THE planner to end all planners. Only caveat is the price tag. Get it here.

6. For no frills and lots of notes: Moleskine Planner

This is the planner I ended up getting because there's notes opposite every planning page, which is ideal for those who need to have a catch-all planner. Get it here.

Happy Planning!
