We take planners VERY serious over here at The Tiny Twig. We know how important staying organized can be and we do not take that matter lightly. There is some serious truth to the importance of having a planner that you can look at and feel like you can get a grip on your month, week, or day. These 4 options are tried and true and work for many people depending on what your style is.

1.  The Day Designer®ultimate guide to picking your planner

The Day Designer® a great for those who need a day-to-day look at things along with the monthly spread.

4. A plain jane planner from Amazon or Target


I know it might sound boring, but buying a planner from Amazon or Target isn’t a bad idea! It is most likely your most cost effective option, too. These planners are sans any extras or inspirational quotes while giving you a pretty much blank canvas to work off of. There aren’t any options for customization but depending on where you go, you can get various colors, sizes, and layouts. If you are going to go this route, a set of good colored marker pens is probably a good idea. You can see my favorite here!
