The future might be out of our hands, but the least we can do is stay organized with the things we can control! Even in the age of Google Calendar, Evernote, and Any.do, we, like many others, still love printed planners. Could it be the freedom of customization or that writing down appointments means you are more likely to remember them? Using a paper planner also gives you a much-needed break from the screen while keeping your appointments, to-do lists, and goals in check. Here, we present some of our favorite planners for 2022!
Mod Lines 2022 Petite Planner ($24, shop here)
Not much bigger than a standard photograph, this planner is perfect for on-the-go organizing. It comes with a gold ballpoint pen that sits securely in the elastic holder, so you’ll never miss jotting down a thought, note, or appointment. The 12-month planner includes monthly and weekly layouts and has a dark turquoise polyurethane cover with an abstract line design. The planner also has monthly tab dividers and a ribbon marker to hold your place.
Unbound 2022 Planner ($50, shop here)
This hardcover planner is more than just an appointment-setter; it’s a thoughtful goal-setting and wellness journal that lets you reflect on what you want to accomplish in the year and tracks your journey of getting there. The planner begins with self-reflection, which helps you think about your values, struggles, motivators, and more. Some pages offer space to write down ideas, goals, daily routines, meals and nutrition plans, project planning, and more. Additional pages let you break down those goals, like how to hold yourself accountable, steps, milestones, and rewards. And the best part? It uses certified environmentally friendly paper. Choose from eight coated linen colors, from bold strawberry to neutral canvas.

There’s also a faux leather interior pocket for any paper keepsakes, a pen loop, and black and gold ribbon markers.
Appointed 2022 Compact Task Planner ($34, shop here)

The cover, which is available in lavender gray or natural linen, is made of a water-resistant book cloth with gold foil-stamped text. Brass wiring keeps the 190 pages tight and bound.
