If there's one thing I know intimately and am extremely passionately about, it's planners. When a coworker recently asked if anyone had 2022 planner recommendations, I sent back an entire paragraph with my best planner picks, broken down by style, sections, and uses. This knowledge comes from years of trying to find the perfect agenda to keep my life organized — and it's not easy to find the best one. Are you someone who prefers a monthly calendar over a weekly academic planner? Do you want a planner with a section for goals and affirmations, or do you want a blank bullet journal you can modify yourself? Sometimes, the best planner your bestie loves might not be the right planner for you. No matter your personality or organization style, however, the perfect 2022 planner for you is out there. Keep scrolling for a variety of planner styles to choose from.
For the Instagram influencer: Papier 2022 Planner
Let me preface this by saying that I personally use Papier's Wellness Journals; I'm obsessed with their planners and journals. Papier's 2022 Planner ($25) has monthly and weekly calendars, so you can see your whole month at a glance, and it includes sections for goals, important dates, to-do lists and wish lists, and a few blank lined pages in the back for notes (for when you need to scribble down a phone number or jot down Important Feelings). Plus, the cover is hardback and completely customizable, meaning you can label your planner with anything you'd like — IG photos to show your planner off are, of course, optional.
For the Office Worker: iFocus Project Planner Notebook
The iFocus Project Planner ($32) is undated, so if you need to start keeping track of a big work project halfway through the year, this planner might be for you. It comes with quarterly plan pages, monthly timelines, brainstorming sections, and keeps track of your weekly progress for 45 weeks.
For the Optimist: Panda Planners
Recommended by a coworker, the Panda Planner ($31) is supposed to help cultivate productivity and happiness, with a morning review section in which you can jot down affirmations and what you're grateful for on a daily basis. It also prompts you to choose a monthly habit, check off a box each day you complete that habit, and reflect on your progress at the end of each month. Plus, it comes in five stylish covers with a cute panda on the front of each hardcover book.
For the Tech-Lover: Moleskine Smart Planner
Do you wish your handwritten planner could sync up with your computer? Moleskine has the solution for you. The Moleskine Smart Planner ($30) combines a paper planner with your Google Calendar, Moleskine Timepage, iCal, Notes apps, and more on both Android and Apple phones. Add in Moleskine's signature black, hardbound cover and sophisticated, minimalist pages, and this is a perfect planner for anyone who takes tech seriously.
For the Goal-Setter: Layered Living Planner
Created by two HCBU alums, the Layered Living Planner ($58) wraps up weekly challenges, mantras, goals, and reflections in a monthly, weekly, and yearly calendar. Plus, the design is incredibly stylish and modern, and even comes with a sticker set with positive affirmations.
For the Fitness-Lover: Simple Self-Care Planner
Take a break between gym sessions to jot down your achievements, schedule, water intake, meal plans, goals, and more with the Simple Self-Care Planner ($40). This planner-and-habit tracker duo includes a literal self-care map to keep you from burnout, while also making sure you stay on top of your obligations — and it comes in seven gorgeous hardcover colors.
For the Student: Erin Condren LifePlanner
I used the Erin Condren LifePlanner (starting at $59) throughout college, and this planner might be the only reason I was able to pass my finals each semester. Truly the most customizable option out there, the Erin Condren planner allows you to pick your cover, layout options and style, size, and more. Plus, for an additional cost, you can add in more pages if you're looking for something extra. I'd recommend adding on a sticker pack to really make your study group notes more fun.
For the Writer: Passion Planner
Every writer knows the need for an easy-access notebook when inspiration hits, which is why the Passion Planner ($20) and its "space of infinite possibility" section is a solid choice. The pages are undated, so if you miss a few weeks and need to get back into the flow, you won't have large chunks of unused pages. Plus, for every planner sold, Passion Planner donates funds and planners to nonprofit organizations around the world. If you aren't sure what kind of planner to get, they even have a Planner Quiz to make sure you find the one that best suits your needs.
For the Artist: Leuchtturm1917 Composition B5 Dotted Notebook
Bullet-journal-lovers, rejoice — the Leuchtturm1917 Notebook ($16) is here for you in 15 different colors. This completely blank journal is the perfect space to design your own bullet journal planner, with 123 numbered pages that prevent ink bleed, a blank table of contents to keep your planner organized, two ribbon page markers, and an elastic strip to keep your journal safe from prying eyes.
For the Astrology-Lover: Honeycomb Astrological Almanac
Don't get your planets twisted; the Honeycomb Astrological Almanac ($57) keeps track of your doctor appointments right next to your solar return chart. Everything is customizable, right down to the artwork included in your book, and it contains all the astrological and astronomical information you'd ever need to keep track of in a daily and monthly fashion.
For the Music-Lover: Open Seas Luminary Planner
Open Sea Design Co. and its Luminary Planner ($24) has a no-frills, minimalist design and is even a can't-live-without item for Phoebe Bridgers. Each page has a "week of" section, with boxes for Sunday through Monday, along with spaces for notes and a "things to do" list.
For the Fashionista: Kikki.K Planner
The Australian-created Kikki.K Planner ($27) is a hit with fashion designers, and it's easy to see why: this linen-covered, 18-month calendar looks like it pairs well with a blazer and some sensible heels. Plus, it comes with seven tabbed dividers, a pen loop, stickers, and a zip pocket for anything else you might need while you're on-the-go.
For the Nature-Lover: Field Notes 56-Week Planner
Before you gear up for a long hike, toss a Field Notes Planner ($17) into your backpack. This 56-week planner has a durable chipboard cover to hold up against unfavorable weather conditions, and each page is an undated week, so you can sporadically fill each weekly section with appointments, journal entries, or notes.
For the Jet-Setter: Orange Circle Studio Pocket Planner
The Orange Circle Studio Planner ($7) is a 60-page paperback agenda that includes sections for notes, goals, and calendar spreads, and it comes in several fun covers. At only 6.5 inches, it's small enough that it won't take up a ton of space in your carry-on and cute enough that you'll love writing in it while you're up in the air.
For the Minimalist: Shinola Planner
If I had to pick out a new planner for myself, I'd have my eye on the 12-month Shinola Runwell Planner ($26). This hardbound planner includes weekly and monthly spreads, spaces for notes, and moon phases, and you can even have it monogrammed with your initials for a personal touch.
For the Multitasker: MochiThings Ardium Planner
If you need your planner to keep track of all aspects of your life — work, hobbies, family obligations, appointments, and more — consider the MochiThings Ardium Planner ($44). This notebook has plenty of room for notes, lists, and even sketching or bullet-journaling. This planner also comes in a larger or smaller size, so you're able to pick the planner that works best for you.
For the One With Big Ideas: JStory Large Monthly Planner
Need a big journal for your big ideas? The JStory Large Monthly Planner ($10) is for you. This 16-month undated calendar has spaces for Monday through Sunday, along with blank squares for notes, so you can start at any month and jot down any ideas in the margins. Plus, the paper cover and minimalist design makes it a lightweight option that doesn't take up a lot of space in your backpack or purse.
