Best Planners for 2020
Photo by Estee Janssens
From client calls to admin work, networking events to date night, you’ve got a lot to handle! That’s why finding the best planner doesn’t just mean a fun way to organize your life but also the best way to stay productive and on top of your work. If you’ve been with us for a little while, you’ll know exactly how seriously I take my planner search. Like, really seriously. I mean, it’s something you’ll be writing in every day, so why not make sure it’s something you love to write in everyday?!
Last year I focused on finding the most minimalist planner possible because I didn’t think I could handle a more lifestyle encompassing planner. This was partly because I hate wasting pages by leaving them blank, but also because I like something that jives with my get-it-done attitude, and minimalist planners do just that. My favorite pick last year, the Simple and Sensible Weekly Planner from MochiThings was perfect for my needs. I filled out every sheet with notes, to-dos, appointments, and reminders (yes, very satisfying, simple, and sensible indeed). If you’d like to check out my recap on this planner, head over to our 2019 planner picks.
This planner was awesome, but a new year means it’s time to graduate to a more detailed setup. I’m looking for something that inspires me and allows me to look ahead without being overwhelming. Originally, I planned to pair the Moleskine and Project Planner together for the perfect balance of planning with minimalist scheduling, but then I was introduced to Mossery (thanks to invasive Instagram ads)! Keep reading to see where I ended up and our recommendations for organizing your live in the new decade!

My original plan was to combine these two planners together to create the ultimate life and project planner set. Both offer simplistic yet comprehensive ways to plan out everything from the day-to-day to your whole year. I was ready to commit to this until I saw the Mossery Planner, a perfect combination of both.
