Whether you want to organise your life, boost your productivity or slay your goals, a good planner can prove very useful.

But with things slowly opening and a lot of us adapting to a new normal, whether it be with work or home life, having the best planners for 2021 will help you organise your life.

If you’ve been feeling unorganised, unproductive and overall a hot mess, don’t worry, there’s still time to get back on track.

Investing in a planner is a great way to re-introduce some structure, healthy habits, and productivity into your life.

Now I know there are a lot of planners out there at the moment, so it’s hard to decide which one is the best fit for you, which is why I’ve put together a list of 10 of the best planners for 2021 to help you decide.

10 OF THE BEST PLANNERS FOR 2021

The Artfan Weekly & Monthly Diary is a budget-friendly organiser which will help you with organisation, productivity and time management.

It includes 12 months’ worth of weekly and monthly pages to help you plan all year long.

The monthly view pages have calendar previews for the previous and following months for longer-term planning. It also has a handy notes section for you to keep track of any important occasions, appointments or to-do lists.

Along with all of that, it also has a list of holidays, contact and information pages.

2. BOX CLEVER PRESS EVERY DAY 2021 DIARY

This small, cute diary is something you can take with you and keep track of your day whilst on the move. It has a weekly view diary page with large spaces to write any meetings or holidays.

The Boxclever Diary also has some really useful planning pages for you to jot down and keep track of your goals or plans. It also has bill tracking pages for each month, prompting you to stay on track with your finances.

3. ROCKET PLANNER – DAILY GOAL PLANNER

The Rocket Planner is one of the best productivity planners and, to be honest, one of the best planners for 2021 that I’ve come across.

It’s a refillable, undated planner with daily and weekly pages for 6 months.

Unlike traditional planners, it has a habit contract to help you implement and track healthy habits, daily pages for you to prioritise your goals, a project planner, and a four-year calendar.

Along with all of that, it also looks amazing and is available in 5 different colours, what’s not to love!

4. BAN.DO WELLNESS PLANNER

Ban.do has some really cool planners and accessories with really fun designs. The Ban.do Wellness Planner is dedicated to self-care and has some great tips and advice on things such as nutrition and body positivity.

Not only does it have some great wellness advice, but it also has pages for planning your goals, meal planning, and some cute planner stickers.

Check out more planners and accessories from Ban.do here.

5. PAPIER – JOY DAILY PLANNER

Papier has hands down some of the best planners out there, with a range of designs, colours and uses.

The Joy Daily Planner is a 16-week daily productivity planner to help you create a healthy work/life balance, with pages to plan your weeks and days, create to-do lists and track your goals.

It also has pages for mind maps, shopping lists and 9 extra pages for notes to not only keep you organised but also cater to your overall wellbeing.

It has a hardback cover with a silk paper finish and is also available in 3 different colours.

6. CLEVER FOX PLANNER

The Clever Fox Planner is designed to help you reach your goals both personally and professionally. It has a weekly spread and has a personal to-do list and priorities and goals for each week.

It’s broken up into sections which include awareness and self-discovery, vision boards and 50+ dot pages which can be used as a bullet journal, to make notes or doodle.

The Clever Fox Planner also comes with sheets of planner stickers, a ribbon bookmark, and an elastic band to keep it organised.

7. CDG – GETTING STUFF DONE PLANNER

If you want an elegant, simple yet effective planner, the Getting Stuff Done Planner is perfect for you.

Its CDG’s best-selling daily planner for a reason!

The planner is undated, meaning you can use it as and when you choose rather than being confined by dates like with a traditional planner or diary. The aim of the planner is to help you create a balance in your life.

It’s really easy to use, it has planning pages on the left and check-in pages on the right to help you stay on top of all aspects of your daily life.

There are also shopping lists, meal tracking pages and a pocket at the back of the planner, perfect for any paperwork or receipts.

It’s available in pink and black, and for such a great quality planner, it’s really affordable.

8. MOLESKINE 18 MONTH WEEKLY PLANNER

If you’re looking for a simple planner without all the bells and whistles, the Moleskin Planner is a brilliant choice.

It’s perfect for those who prefer a planner with more of a traditional layout and design. It has pages for plans or appointments and lined pages for notes.

It also has a ribbon bookmark, inner pocket, comes in 6 different colours, hard or soft cover and is available in 3 different sizes.

9. BAN.DO TRAVEL PLANNER

If you’re planning a trip in the future or perhaps you travel a lot for work, the Ban.do Travel Planner is the planner for you. It’s available in a variety of colours which also match other travel accessories by Bando, such as luggage tags.

The hardcover, ring binder and elastic band make it durable and easy to carry whilst travelling. There are also daily planning pages, packing lists and a map page all useful for your travels.

There is also a large interior pocket to safely stash your tickets, passport or any other travel documents. Plus, for a bit of fun, there are also some cute travel themed stickers included.

Travelling is stressful as it is, so why not have one place to plan and organise your trips so you can actually relax on your getaway?

Chronic illness is a full-time job, with no off da Chronic illness is a full-time job, with no off days or vacations. Everything revolves around our health. 😓Over time, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or even depressed. 

That’s what led me to take such a long break from the blog and socials! 

It took me a long time to shake that feeling. But one thing I know for certain is, I never want to feel like that again and I don’t want you to either. 

But things get tricky when you have a chronic illness. It’s here to stay. We can’t hit the kill switch on our illness. So how on earth are we supposed to ‘recharge’? 

It’s something I’ve been trying to figure out for the longest…

In this week’s blog post, I’ve put together some helpful strategies that have helped me, and will hopefully help you, deal with burnout. 

I break down what chronic illness burnout is, some signs to look out for, as well as some simple things you can do to combat it. 

I hope you find it helpful! Link in Bio.

Todays officially the worst day of year..aka Blue Todays officially the worst day of year..aka Blue Monday. I don’t really believe in it but I get the idea. 

I do know that things can feel a little ‘blah’ and dreary around this time of year. 

The holidays are over, and with them can come a wave of sadness. The decorations have been taken down; the presents have been opened, and all that's left is to face the reality of January and the cold winter months ahead.

You might feel a little down, anxious or disorientated. You’re not alone, so many of us are feeling the same right now!

So after a long break,I’ve finally gotten my writing juices flowing again, and put together some tips to help shake off the post-Christmas blues, and start feeling happy again!

Rest,Rest,Rest...😴 If you live with chronic pa Rest,Rest,Rest...😴

If you live with chronic pain or illness, you come to realise how important rest actually is❗️

It's the one thing we need to keep going.

However, in a world where 'maximising your time' and productivity hacks are shoved down our throats, particularly at this time of year (New year, new me and all that shit). It's easy to feel you're wasting time or not doing enough by prioritising rest. 

But I'm here to say fuck that! 🖕🏾

Rest when we need it can NEVER be a waste of time!

It's an investment...! Particularly if you have pain or any health condition!

Rest is our time to destress, detach and escape from all things thrown our way, health or life-related.

Let's stop punishing ourselves, or feeling guilty about resting. Instead, let's consider it the best investment we'll ever make... into ourselves!😉
