Are you looking to live a more organized life this year? Don’t miss this guide to 12 of the very best planners for 2016 to help you manage the chaos with a clear head and a happy heart!
Commitments, trips, appointments, to-do lists, finances, meal planning – there’s just SO much to keep track of these days!
I swear, without my family calendar and planner, I’d be totally lost.
I say it all the time, “unless it’s written down, I won’t remember it.” And it’s absolutely true.
My head is spinning with everything I have to do at any given moment.
But…
I’ve learned how to manage the chaos with a clear head and a happy heart.
My secret?
Just write it down and then let it go.
It’s so simple really. But it truly makes such a difference!
Writing it all down means that I only need to hold on to it for a few short moments, before letting it fall right back out of my head again. I can enjoy a life of knowing exactly what I need to do and when I need to do it with a quick glance at my calendar. That means I no longer have to somehow keep track of it all in the back of my mind.
I can’t tell you how freeing it’s been since I’ve started making good use of my planner!
Each moment is no longer clouded by lists & commitments running through my head.
Now, some people like to use their phones or computers to keep track of it all. Not me.
Sometimes you just need to put pen to paper.
See your day, week and year all laid out in front of you.
So, for those of you looking to live a simpler, more organized life this year, here are 12 of the very best planners for 2016!

Last year I tried the Erin Condren Life Planner and I loved it, my problem is trying to limit my planners. They all just look so wonderful. This year I’m using the Heidi Swapp Personal Memory Planner as well as the Living Well Spending Less Planner for my home. Great round up! I’m visiting today from Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop.
Thanks so much Bonnie! I know just what you mean – I wish I could have them all (though wouldn’t that be a disaster to keep track of)! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Kristi,
This is a great round-up of some really beautiful planners! Who wouldn’t want to get organized when using one of these. I really like the style of the Home Organization Printables and The Day Designer. Rifle Paper & Co is just my style with my love of French Country. Dwell In Possibility printable day planner by Fresh Crush has a beautiful style and amazing use of colors on the cover.
Thank you for sharing on Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Thank you SO, SO much Olivia! I’m so happy you love what I found! If only we could put all of these planners to use now 😉
Each of these are so beautiful! I use Corey’s blog planner (2nd year now!) and I love it so much, I’m not the most organized person, wish I was, but having a planner helps – it keeps me sane for sure!
Having a planner has been an absolute life saver for me! And I’ve heard from so many friends that Corey’s planner is fantastic!!! Thanks so much Chelsea!
These are great! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’m so happy you love them! Thanks Michelle!
