The 25 Best 2023 Planners and Agendas

Both our Social Media Editor, Lucia Tonelli, and our Art Director, Brittany Holloway-Brown, love this planner by Leautturm1917. Tonelli explains, "There's a reason why Leuchtturm has remained a staple for writers, artists, amateur doodlers, etc. for over a century, and the German-made notebooks live up to the hype. The thick paper prevents ink from bleeding onto other pages (or, in my case, prevents writing indentations from being heavy-handed), and the calendar formatting is ideal for daily, weekly, and monthly planning without being overly-complicated. If you're someone who uses a planner regularly, this sturdy, stylish, simple notebook is a must."

"My Papier planner is essential to help organize my time," says Senior Editor Tanya Benedicto Klich. "I add everything in it from meetings at work to yoga classes at the weekend and I love that it’s undated so you can start it at any point during the year. Being able to personalize my name on the cover makes it feel really special and there’s a huge choice of designs to reflect your personal style which I love." On incorporating the planner into her wellness routine, she adds, "Using my planner and being organized clears my mind and makes me feel less stressed. It’s really a wellness tool for me too, and with all its cover designs ranging from colourblock to cottagecore, the planners add a dash of color and style to the interior of my work bag. You can buy their pocket diaries and meal planners to match."

Jenny Hollander, Marie Claire's Director of Content Strategy, swears by this planner: "Look, I hear you. Spending upwards of $250 on a planner feels crazy, right? Hear me out: The Smythson Soho is so much more than a planner. Like your favorite wallet or handbag, it’s designed to go everywhere with you and be part of everything you do, from your social planning to wedding planning (hello!) and all your work needs. Two years ago, a friend gifted me my first Soho agenda, and I fell in love with the silky pages, meticulous design, and luxurious feel; I’ve been hooked ever since." She adds: "Just be warned: You can’t go back to other planners. Nothing feels right after the Soho. (PS. If you’re going to splurge anyway, go ahead and get the gold monogramming. It’s worth it.)"

For the teachers among us (we salute you), this planner is filled with encouraging messages, stickers, checklists, and copious space to take notes and make plans. I gifted this to my mom for the start of the school year, and she loves how easy it makes staying organized. 

For a classic option, go for Moleskine's 18-month weekly planner, which comes in a variety of colors. You can choose between the smaller 3.5 x 5.5 inch or the larger 5 x 8.25 inch one. This way, whether you have a roomy backpack or a modest-sized purse, you'll be able to stash this pick wherever you go.

For those who love spirituality and New Age wisdom, it's worth considering this fun datebook. Not only does it function as a daily planner with plenty of space for to do lists and planning each day, but it also contains recipes, wellness ideas, yoga poses, and other feel-good tips to get you through your week.

Mental health is extremely important. Therefore, it's wise to make time for it every day. Enter the Happiness Planner, which includes full-page spreads for each day. These spreads include to do lists, gratitude lists, journal prompts, and other daily tools to ensure that while you're taking care of business, you're taking care of yourself, too. And if softcover planners aren't your jam, check out the PDF version of the planner, too.

This planner focuses on wellness, daily to-dos, mindfulness, and goal-setting. My favorite aspect of its design, however, is its pages devoted to habit tracking: The entries allow users to dive deep into the habits they'd like to develop by unpacking why those habits are important to them and exactly how and when they'll work towards them.

This planner is supposed to mimic the experience of having a personal assistant. Not only does it feature the classic daily, weekly, and monthly planning pages, but is also includes spaces for monthly project and social media plans, gratitude journaling, health and wellness tracking, and more. 

You'll definitely be in a good mood after starting your day with this cheerful floral planner. Not only is it gorgeous, but it also boasts sticker sheets, a generously-sized storage pocket, and its tabbed monthly calendars and gold spiral binding make it a breeze to use. 

In the same vein as Bloomingdales' small, medium, and large brown bags, this true-to-size, eco-friendly "Large Weekly Planner" has all of the space you could possibly need to write down important dates, information, and reminders. 

Of this chic planner, Marie Claire Editorial Fellow Brooke Knappenberger, says, "I've been a planner girl since middle school and still am even well into my post-grad life. Having a to-do list written down just makes a ton more sense to me rather than using an app. This planner from Amazon fits all my needs and is super cheap. There's plenty of space to write in everything I have going on from day to day and I love how it comes undated. Plus it doubles as a notebook with a ton of lined pages in the back!"

Buy this planner once and you'll never have to buy a planner again. It comes with a special pen and pages that can be easily erased with a microfiber cloth for "endless reuse." And, of course, the planner is undated. 

If you're someone who uses their planner sporadically, stay away from a dated planner and go for an undated option, like this minimalist pick from Greer Chicago. It has 52 weekly calendars, 12 monthly calendars, and eight blank pages for notes and doodles.

For a fancier agenda that can be reused yearly, look no further than Hermés's undated, refillable calendar. It also only features two dates per page, so you'll have plenty of room to write down everything you need to be prepared for each day. 

If you're especially goal-driven and want to give yourself deadlines, this planner's the one for you. It also comes with prompts designed to bring you inspiration and motivate you along your journey. 

I'm big on goal setting but not-so-big on structure, so this planner is perfect for me. Its bulleted format allows me to doodle, write, and plan without feeling confined. Plus, it has dedicated pages for to do lists and goal-setting, which are two of my primary means of keeping myself organized.

I'm obsessed with Silk and Sonder's unique take on the planner. This book is meant for focusing on self-development, wellness, and personal growth, and including inspirational quotes, undated calendar blocks, mood trackers, creativity exercises, and more. With this planner, you can feel better about yourself and your trajectory every day.

I use this planner, and I can't live without it. Its natural, butterfly-themed theme never fails to uplift me, and it makes me feel chic and organized on even my most chaotic days. One of my favorite features is the sheer amount of blank note pages in the back of the book, which is extremely handy when I've forgotten my separate notebook (or can't fit it in my bag). 

If working out is an important part of your day, take a look at this best-selling fitness journal, which includes monthly calendars, daily logs, and places for goal-setting. Reviewers adore this, with multiple happy customers saying that it's easy to use, straightforward, and that they can't go to the gym without it.

As someone who is chronically tardy (I'm working on it!!), this truly is the planner for me. Not only is it vintage-inspired and therefore delightful to look at, but it also comes with two cheeky floating pens: The first says "procrastinator" and changes to "mastercrastinator" while in use, while the other says "professional" and changes to "adequatefessional" while in use. And, if you're into desk pad-style planners, check out the brand's weekly planner pad,  which lets you separate and plan tasks by morning, afternoon, and evening.

This cheeky planner focuses specifically on crafting a productive, feel-good routine that works well for you. The entries for each day include spaces for daily meditations, the books you're reading, workouts, and more. Plus, it comes with a sheet of cute stickers you can use to customize your book.

We plan our waking hours, so why not plan our sleep, too? This highly original planner maps out a six-week program developed by therapists to help you achieve better, more restful, and more regular sleep. I've been using it over the past few weeks, and it's made me more thoughtful and intentional about my nightly routine so that I can be better rested (and more productive) during the day.

This planner is perfect for people who, like me, sometimes go a week or so at a time without touching their planner. The flexible, undated layout of this option, coupled with a handy removable calendar clip, allows users to use the planner whenever they'd like, take a break when appropriate, and then pick back up where they left off. You can kiss wasted pages goodbye!

If one of your New Year's resolutions is to eat healthier, cook more, or try new foods and recipes, this is the perfect planner for you. The planner includes measurement guides, recipe pages, spaces for you to write out your shopping list, and more, so you can streamline your meal planning and eat more mindfully.
