Almost anyone can benefit from an annual planner: moms to keep track of the family schedule, entrepreneurs to block out time for tasks and complex projects, high school and college students to keep tabs on their classes and assignments, homeschooling moms who need to plan out curriculum, and even middle schoolers to help them learn life skills and become more independent and self-sufficient. But as you’re perusing planner options, consider this: written planners are scientifically better than phone-based calendars or planner apps. So as you look ahead to 2021 and all the things you hope to accomplish after this year that your dreams have been on hold, here are a few planners to consider:

2020 has taught us that we need to hold our plans loosely, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try to stay organized amidst the unknown. A planner can increase productivity while decreasing overwhelm; putting plans and tasks on paper instead of holding it all in our heads frees up emotional space for all the other things we’re dealing with. Here’s wishing you a GREAT 2021!
