And I love the 16-month ones because I buy them in the summer to use for my upcoming school year, September through the following June. (But then I have leftover unused months as well.)

They look great!

Barnes and Noble has a wide selection of planners. I usually get one for exercise, one for family appointments and stuff, and one for myself to write little thoughts.

I used to write in a journal when I was younger but found it hard to do as an adult. But, I find journaling helps me though to work through my thoughts and feelings so I now get a planner to write little things (ideally) daily. If I can or want to write more, I’ll write in a journal but this helps with my emotions.

If you wait a few more days,a lot of 2020 planners will be half off too

I use a large planner with lots of daily notes spaces for my workout journal. I use a smaller version for my gratitude journal. I write down every day at least three things I am grateful for.

The Aldi Planners do look nice. I just purchased one though - from Walgreens - it is Blue Sky -

I did not spend $20 on it though, I think Walgreens had it for $9.99.

I like the larger planners b/c I have sloppy handwriting and the smaller ones are hard for me to write in!

I mostly just keep track of appointments and work stuff. Maybe I should get the Aldi planner to keep track of personal and workout stuff....

I use Plum Paper. It is more expensive (though not as pricey as Erin Condren.) They have a 30% off deal at Black Friday that I take advantage of every year. It is customizable, which i like, and the paper is nice quality. It's a bit of a splurge, and this year, I was planning on just buying a cheap one at Home Goods or similar, but I still caved with Plum Paper, and I'm not sorry. I'm the household manager and I figure it's worth it if it helps me stay organized.

The thing I like about Plum Paper is that some of the designs are a little more sophisticated than Erin Condren or Happy Planner. There are a lot of planners out there that seem like they're for middle school girls... not that there's anything wrong with that, but at my age, I wanted something a bit more professional-looking.

Great point!

I'm grateful to everyone who posted. Thank you for your ideas. I wish Arizona had an Aldi's.

We do have Walgreen's, so I might go take a look at the Blue Sky planners.

I'm taking a look at Plum Paper and Erin Condren.

Has anyone had any experience with Michael Hyatt's Focus planner, the Monk Planner, or the Passion Planner? Did any of these help you use your time more judiciously or productively?

Has anyone had any experience with the Christian planner or the Catholic Planner? Did you find these supportive of integrating your spiritual life with everything else you balance during your weeks and days?
