But the lines are also very small, so everything feels super tight and awkward. CONS: Oh my gosh, NO LINES! Also, the spaces to write in the daily planner portion is tiny, but like the Eccolo, there's a whole page for notes on the other side. It's a really cost-effective, basic planner. All that to say, this is the most compact planner of the bunch.Overall Dimensions: 5" wide x 8.25" tallPrice point: $25 CAD PROS: Very lightweight, compact, has a pocket in the back for small things, like receipts, maybe? It also has an elastic band, so if you do have any loose paper in there, things stay together. I didn't have kids, so I didn't have as much to remember, and I didn't have to carry around a humungous purse filled with snacks and diapers and toys, etc. I used this a few years ago and it was perfect for me at the time. It's also colour coded (tabs) - yeah, this planner is all about colour! CONS: Again with the no lines! That just drives me bananas.ĥ. Because stickers and colours! So if you like fun, check this one out!Overall Dimensions: 8.75” tall x 10" widePrice point: $35 CAD PROS: It's colourful, has great fonts and quirky details like highlighted little quotes at the bottom of every page. I had this planner a couple of years ago and I liked it. I was always pouring over into the notes section. CONS: No lines! This drives me a bit crazy because I like lines to keep everything, well, straight. Weekly planner with room for notes and a to-do list. This is a great planner for someone who likes point form planning and takes lots of notes!Overall Dimensions: 8" wide x 10" tallPrice point: $22 CAD PROS: Not spiral bound, but lays flat. I really did like it, and it was very well-used! It also lasted the whole year being dragged around everywhere and still looks great. This is the planner I used last year, and I've gotten lots of questions about it. CONS: The paper isn't as thick, but I use felt-tipped pens and they don't bleed. After EXTENSIVE research online and in person, this had pretty much all of the features I deem to be necessary for a good planner.Overall Dimensions: 8.5" wide x 10.25" tallPrice point: Around $50 CAD PROS: Spiral bound so it lays flat, less expensive than the original Flagship Planner, shows the entire week (weekends included), space for to-dos (daily, weekly and monthly), gratitude, notes, and looking at the week ahead, room for setting intentions and goals for the year. This is the one I personally am using this year. It's on the expensive side, at over $50 USD, though it's currently on sale here!Ģ.

CONS: You can't see the week ahead all in one spread, which means a lot of page flipping, and it's a little heavy because of all the pages. There's room for everything here! It also comes with space at the beginning of the planner to set goals and intentions for the year, and it's very high quality (super thick paper included!). The Daily Flagship Planner is the more well-known option.Overall Dimensions: 9″ wide x 9.75″ tallPrice point: Regular price $75 CAD, but currently on sale for $52.50 PROS: Each page allows you plenty of space to write down lists, schedule your day, practice gratitude, plan dinner, etc. They aren't known to be cheap, but they are known to be super functional, so that's a bonus. There are a couple of versions of this (fairly well known) planner. So I've compiled a list of my favourite day planners to share with you because I feel like you'd appreciate this.I'll break down pros, cons, cost, and show you as much as I can about the layout of these so you can make your best decision! Let's go! I tend to keep an ongoing list of "stuff not to forget when I go to." in my phone, but for everyday things, work stuff, scheduling, etc., I prefer to write it down. There are too many tabs open at all times and I can't keep up! That's why I need a good day planner to write things into.

I won't call it baby brain, it's just mom brain. I've always enjoyed writing things down, but in the last two years, it's become an actual necessity. If I don't write things down, it's basically guaranteed that within minutes (or the next toddler tantrum, so.
