If you’re like me, you consider choosing your planner, journal, or notebook kind of a big deal. Which is probably why it’s taken me until now to decide on which planner to get for this year.
(In case you’re wondering, I decided on a gorgeous thing from kikki.K, along with a bunch of accessories and extras so that I can design and personalise it. I’m ridiculously excited to get it!)
An offline planner may perhaps seem so last century, but I cannot encourage you enough to write by hand. Letting a pen swipe across a piece of paper feeds creativity on a completely different level than typing on a keyboard. And even more so when you personalise the pages with colors and accents.
Journaling, planning, or doodling by hand can also be a great way to relax. As is allowing your creativity to flow by cutting and pasting together little notes, stickers, and accents to your book. There is an absolute ton of videos on YouTube from people showing how they’ve set up and personalised their planners, so check that out for inspiration.
Here’s your total guide to finding the planner or journal that feels just right for you.
