Good planners can help with organization, but the best planners can do so much more. From helping you focus on what matters most to enabling you to achieve goals—both big and small—a best-selling planner is there with you every step of the way and can even help you improve your life. That’s why we’ve spent 15 years honing and improving our signature Erin Condren LifePlanner™ to be the best everything planner. It’s specifically designed to help you keep everyday tasks, goals, and projects manageable. With the proper planner, you can keep your life organized and live every moment to the fullest—and not miss the important details along the way.

We proudly design all of our planners in Los Angeles and print, hand-coil, and package all our spiral books in Austin. Our planners are made with thick 80-pound text weight paper that resists ink bleeding. The durable covers and sturdy coils are made to survive daily life while you travel from work to home and everywhere in between. The quality craftsmanship means your planner will last and the memories can be looked back on for years to come.

Work planners, school planners, wedding planners, meal planners, fitness planners, budget planners, and beyond. . . . Whatever your goals, whatever you’re working on, there’s a planner designed to get you over the finish line (and infuse more joy and organization into each day).

The most effective way to use a planner starts with choosing the right one. Take the Erin Condren planner quiz to discover which planner is right for you. After you've chosen your perfect planner, an easy way to start building good habits is by using your planner every day. Here are a few tips to get you started.

• Block out time in your day to update and write in your planner to set goals for the day, week, and/or month.
• Create a system that works best for you. Want to focus solely on work tasks? Separate sections for family/work/personal? Find the rhythm that fits your life and customize the planner to fit those needs.
• Record and organize everything all in one place, from daily checklists to shopping lists to budgets and notes. Using a planner this way will help you remember and keep track of important tasks, appointments, and info throughout the day.
• Don't stress about always keeping your planner nice and neat. It's okay to be messy from time to time. Have fun with your planner, make it your own, and enjoy how it will help you reduce stress and reach your goals!

Organizing your planner should start with building good habits for staying on track with your life goals and everyday planning. If you're new to maintaining a planner, start small by setting daily or weekly goals and checklists. It's the little things that count here! Follow these other tips for organizing your 2025-2026 planner:

• Set aside a little time each day (or even once a week) to focus on reviewing and planning so that you can prioritize your tasks. This will help you focus your energy and time where it matters most.
• Customize your planner–choose the right planner layout, planner size, and accessories–to create your unique organization system built around your schedule and style, not the other way around.
• Color-code your planner notes and checklists with highlighters and pens. This is a fun and simple way to infuse an extra layer of organization into your planner.
• Write down important dates in your calendar spreads, and daily and weekly to-dos on your planning pages. Downloading your mind into your planner will help you improve time management, productivity, and keep track of the important notes and lists that you need to tackle because you never know what obstacles you'll encounter.

There are so many different types of planners that can make your life easier and help you reach your goals. Learn how to get the most out of yours with our expert Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Planning Tips.

Planners come with different calendar layouts, including an option to see the year at a glance and daily, weekly, and monthly planning sections. Having multiple options allows for more in-depth planning.

A daily planner gives you the space you need to cover every detail. Each day has its own page, which is then broken down by the hour. With this type of planner, you can pencil in meetings, school pick-up times, project due dates, dinner reservations — you name it.

A weekly planner is great for planning pros and organization novices alike. This type of planner lets you see your entire week at a glance. You can look ahead to see what’s due at the end of each week, allowing you to prioritize when you tackle tasks Monday through Friday and on weekends. We have multiple weekly planning layouts and just love how @katiecsteiner shares the benefits of popular LifePlanner™ weekly layouts below.

@katiecsteiner

• Vertical: I love this layout for someone who juggles a lot! Some use the boxes for morning/afternoon/evening, while others use them for different categories of their life: work/kids/school/content/to-dos.
• Hourly: This layout is ideal for people who need to manage their time! You can block off your schedule and add to-dos into your white space.
• Horizontal: I love this layout for people whose schedules are more fluid. One of the things I love most about this layout is that I have plenty of space for hand-lettering, and it’s versatile enough that I can use the boxes however I need. There is also a blank box on the bottom right page to organize your week.

We also have a Dashboard Weekly Layout for those whose planning style falls between horizontal, vertical, and productivity tracker. This hybrid planning option offers the stacked structure of a vertical weekly spread with the convenience of horizontal lines + a dashboard to track all your weekly priorities, habits, to-dos, and more.

Our LifePlanner™ Collection has something for everyone, from beginner planners to planner pros, including a variety of designs, sizes, formats, and layouts so you can customize your 2025-2026 planner to fit your style and schedule.

• Daily LifePlanners: If you like to have a full page to plan each day, then our Daily LifePlanners are for you. These daily planners come in a spiral format in two sizes (A5 and 7” x 9”), an A5 Ring Agenda format, featuring a standard six-ring agenda binder and folio combo (perfect for staying organized on the go), or in the form of a binder planner.
• Weekly LifePlanners: If you prefer to see your weekly plans at a glance, our weekly LifePlanner has got you covered. This is the original LifePlanner and offers four layout choices so you can plan horizontally, vertically, hourly, or in a dashboard format. It also offers two binding options: spiral (all layouts available) or softbound (select weekly layouts available).
• Softbound LifePlanners: If you’re left-handed or want your planner in a sleek, lay-flat book format, our Softbound LifePlanners are the way to go. These lay-flat, lefty-friendly weekly organizers feature beautiful vegan leather covers and come in three sizes: pocket size (3.5” x 6.25”), A5, and 8” x 10”.
• Ring Agenda LifePlanners: If you need a planner and folio in one stylish, portable package, then you’ll love our A5 LifePlanner Ring Agendas. This daily LifePlanner binder features a gorgeous vegan leather folio, with plenty of pockets to store your notepads, sticky notes, pen, and more! It also has a standard six-ring system so you can add on inserts to further customize your LifePlanner.
• LifePlanner™ Best Sellers: If you love the option to add on snap-in accessories like interchangeable covers, bookmarks, sticky notes, and dashboards, you’ll have endless customization options with our best-selling spiral LifePlanners. They feature durable, premium aluminum coils, swappable and wet-erase front and back covers, and come in daily and weekly layouts and two sizes (A5 or 7” x 9”).

A planner page count (counted like double-sided book pages, not like single-sided sheets) depends on the type of planner, planner size, and if add-on pages are an option. For example, if you want to add on extra pages to our weekly LifePlanner™, you’ll see this in the product details section: “Add 40 additional lined, productivity, weekly planning, or goal setting pages.” This will add 20 double-sided sheets of paper to your planner, which include 40 functional pages on which you can take notes and journal, track productivity, expand your weekly planning, or set and track your goals.
