The new year always goes hand in hand with new resolutions and a new semester of school. Staying home on endless zoom calls forced all of us to develop new daily routines in the confinements of our homes. Whether you are in college or high school, I think we can all relate to one thing, the summer, shorter fall term, and longer winter break has caused us to fall out of routine and structure.
In the spirit of a more normal 2021, I have put together a list of my top 10 favorite planners to get your student schedule back in style.
PS: Even though 2021 has started, it’s never too late to get organized!

Emma's Planner is perfect for first time planner users who want to ease into using a planner. Because of the large size of this planner it is hard to take around.

And if you are someone like me, and want to be Emma's best friend, this planner may just be a great additional purchase to the planner you already have.

Archer and Olive offers a super quality journal. My personal favorite size is the A5 because it is a standard journal size, can easily fit in a backpack, and is the perfect amount of page size. This company is a small but fast growing women owned business and is totally worth supporting. Their paper quality is impeccable and nothing not even paint will bleed through the pages. I can first hand say these journals are worth the investment as I am speaking from personal experience.

Dated 2021 Planner $35.00 USD
weekly spreads to plan
monthly calendar
plan doted pages

Bullet Journaling Options
I use bullet journaling as I enjoy drawing and being creative. This is perfect for anyone who wants to customize their own planner . You can watch Amandarachlee's videos on youtube to see if this is something you want to get into. While it is more work it can be very therapeutic and a great way to keep yourself on top of tasks, priorities, and upcoming events on your calendar.
While these journals are expensive, much like their planners they are super quality. If this is not your first time bullet journaling I totally recommend trying these out! There are so many colors, designs, and covers to choose from.

This notebook is very similar to the quality of the Archer and Olive notebook and offers a lot of the same features, and it is a bit cheaper.
