My Favorite Planner! {I’m biased.}

Disclosure: Any post may contain links to my shop or affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission from any purchase you make. All opinions about products I use are my own. Read the full disclosure and Privacy Policy HERE.


I got a message from someone ordering a planner last week. They’ve used my planner in the past, but tried a different planner last year. To quote the message “I need the only good planner I’ve ever had. I missed having yours literally every day last year.”

As an avid planner-user myself, I didn’t create a planner because I was dying to create my own. I created my own planner because I couldn’t find any planner that was just how I wanted a planner to be. I created my own planner for a while before it even struck me that others may prefer something different too. Then a friend wanted me to make a planner for her and I already had a blog, so I put the planners for sale. Now I’ve been selling planners for more than three years. I know I’m biased, but my planner is still my favorite!

I’ve kept my planner part of my business at a small scale. I only make planners in small batches. I don’t contract out the planner making or even the page printing. I design the pages, print them, cut them, hole punch them, create the tab dividers, and package them up in planners. I do this all by myself, usually with Netflix playing in the background while my hands are busy. (Full disclosure, I buy the covers already made and some accessories, because I don’t know how to craft beautiful leather covers like I prefer to use.)

I don’t cut corners. Each of these planners is made as well as the one I make myself.

Below is the planner I’m using myself right now, though I’m so tempted to trade it out. I really love all the planner options this year.

Better than Normal

My planners are not normal planners. I’ve been planner obsessed since I was a teenager (not exaggerating!) and have created the kind of planner that I always wanted, but could never find. Once you experience this better way of planning, it is hard to go back to anything else!!

There is ample room to plan life, one week at a time, plus all the other sections you need to organize life! Once you figure out how to manage and organize your time, everything else is easier. Need more time to declutter, spend with family, get work done … organize your time and you’ll probably find some!!!

Planner Printables (File Downloads)

I know so many people like to have the digital file to print themselves, so I make this download available. To simplify shopping options, I put all the options into one shop product, so you can figure out what you want by viewing all the possibilities first-hand.

There are two sizes:

  • Full-size, regular printer paper, 8.5×11
  • Mini-Binder Size, which is the size of half a piece of regular printer paper.)

Both sizes come in 2 different styles – HM prompts in the weekly schedule and without.

Page Refills

Page refills are not just for those who’ve purchased planners before! These are the right choice if you don’t want the hassle of printing your own planner, but you already have a cover or binder to use as the planner.

Ready-to-Use Planners (shipped to you completely put together)

I know that some people would prefer the planner be printed and put together, arriving in the mail ready to use! This is the easiest way to get started with my planners. I make the tab dividers in my planner studio (a room in my house – I’m the one that makes every planner!).

Remember, I create planners in small batches, so once they get sold, they are gone! If you like a certain planner, get it before it is gone. Some of the scrapbook paper I use for tabs is no longer in circulation. (Often I have to hunt down exactly what I want.)

Did you take a look at the planners? Which is your favorite?

It would mean the world to me if you would pin this post.

From my home to yours,
Mary
