Do you use your computer and phone calendar as a planner? Or do you use a phone app that helps you plan out the day? I have tried to love technology for it’s scheduling features, but I keep coming back to pen and paper. I’m not able to stay on top of tasks if they’re not jotted down in a planner. I recently polled my followers and asked for planner recommendations. While we all have different preferences when it comes to planners, there were several popular recommendations. Here are a few of their favorite 2021 planners and a brief overview of each planner.

2021 Planners Recommended by My Followers
The Golden Coil
The number one recommendation is a beautiful choice that has several options and is customizable. With The Golden Coil, you can choose from our daily, weekly, and monthly layouts. They have several beautiful covers and every planner and notebook is bound with hard front and back covers.
Plum Paper
Another personalized option, Plum Paper allows you to build your owner planner and select your holidays, start dates, cover, size, and more. I love the option of customizing the cover with a monogram as well.
Simplified Planner
It is no surprise that Simplified by Emily Ley is the number one recommended planner by my followers. There are daily and weekly options, coiled or bound styles, and several specialized planners. I prefer the weekly planner so I can see my week in advance. I also prefer bound planners and love that they have both options available!
Sugar Paper
I have used the the Sugar Paper planners from Target for years and I can attest to their durability. They are affordable and I have been very pleased! I prefer a bound style with weekly planning but there are coiled options as well. There is extra space with lined pages for notes and lists.
Passion Planner
Passion Planners were developed to build a better community and give back to those in need. The planners have blank pages for creativity, structure for plans, and room for reflection. They’re also beautiful and come in several sizes and styles.
Cultivate What Matters
The PowerSheets® Intentional Goal Planner focuses on finding goals that matter and creating an action plan. If you love a bright and colorful planner, this one is for you! There are bundle packs available to let your creativity and joy shine!
Other Recommendations
There are so many planners on the market and I found a few others to share with you. I typically enjoy a soft leather bound planner in a neutral color. Do you prefer simple planners? Daily, weekly, or monthly planners? Do you like a bright or neutral design? Here are a few more options for you!
