The 25 Best 2024 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."

Pros: editor-approved; small; space for planning and creativity; thick, durable paper

Cons: small daily schedule blocks; some users say the ink is faint

Customer Review: "The Leuchtturm weekly planner has all the features I want in a planner and only one (admittedly idiosyncratic) flaw – the weekend days having to share space – so it’s a nearly ideal planner for me. After all these years of rolling my own, it’s a relief to find something readymade that’s close to perfect." -The Well-Appointed Desk

Jenny Hollander, Marie Claire's digital director, swears by this planner. "Look, I hear you. Spending upwards of $250 on a planner feels crazy, right?" she says. "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.)"

Pros: editor-approved; luxurious; small; includes a bookmark; can be personalized

Cons: expensive

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. In addition to traditional monthly and weekly calendars, it also includes space for to do lists and lesson plans, and it also includes dividers so you can separate by class or subject.

Pros: designed with teachers in mind; contains resources and accessories; plenty of space for planning; includes humorous quotes and pick-me-ups

Cons: large size

Customer Review: "Love it! I am a kind of snarky person so I really love the humor on the dividers. It's good quality and there is even enough space to add a few of my own dividers so I can separate the checklists by group. I like that it has this notebook like vibe to it. Cannot wait to use it next year, I think it's perfect for planning for my 11th and 12th graders!" -The Happy Planner

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 by 5.5 inch or the larger 5 by 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. It includes monthly and weekly calendar views, and each week’s page lies adjacent to a page reserved for notes, to-do lists, or creative exploration. The book also includes stickers that are perfect for planning or calling attention to important dates.

Pros: small and easy to carry around; elevated look and feel

Cons: thin paper, so ink may bleed or show through

Customer Review: "I love the size and feel of this daily journal. It starts on July 1, 2023 and ends on December 31, 2024. The front few pages have small monthly calendars and a few extras for travel, random thoughts, achievements, etc. but the bulk of the journal is one day per page. Overall it's very elegant and simple, no frills." -Amazon

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 daily planning, but it also contains recipes, wellness ideas, articles, yoga poses, and other feel-good tips to get you through your week. Plus, it’s spiral bound, so you can pull out any wellness and lifestyle tips you especially adore for safe keeping.

Pros: focus on wellness; small and easy to carry around; includes lifestyle tips

Cons: daily blocks are small

Customer Review: "Love these datebooks!! I have bought one every year for the past 5 years if not longer. Large enough space to write about your day and reminders for the day. Monthly overview is great. Dates of the full moon in back of datebook, which is a huge plus for me. Lots of information and Sabbat days. Space for notes in the back. And you can also color in the black and white pictures." -Amazon

This planner was designed by New York Times bestselling cartoonist Sarah Anderson, whose playful artwork skyrocketed in popularity in recent years. The planner features fan-favorite cartoons from her books Big Mushy Happy Lump, Herding Cats, and Oddball, infusing your days with humor and levity. The planner also includes daily blocks, weekly blocks, monthly overviews, as well as year-at-a-glance pages for 2023, 2024, and 2025.

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. Another aspect I love (I’ve been using the planner all year) is the space for gratitude lists at the beginning of each week.

Pros: includes space for planning, to do lists, and gratitude; has two built-in bookmarks; easy to carry around; editor-approved

Cons: hardcover, so a little heavy

Customer Review: "I freaking love these diaries. Have used for last three years. You can find a use for all aspects, it has enough space to write lists, notes, etc. Daily habit tracker is brilliant, weekly planner where you can use it for what you like is perfect, just the right amount of space per day, goal setting and doodle space, looks beautiful." -Saint Belford

"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."

Pros: editor-approved; can be personalized; plenty of space for planning; sustainable packaging; undated

Cons: small daily blocks

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!"

Pros: editor-approved; lots of space for notes; small; space for visualization and manifestation; comes in multiple colors

Cons: none found

Customer Review: "This planner is the absolute best you can buy. If you want something that will not only keep you organized, but also keep you focused on your goals and bettering yourself, then this is it." -Amazon

This planner's name is in the same vein as Bloomingdales' small, medium, and large brown bags. It's true-to-size, eco-friendly, and has all of the space you could possibly need to write down important dates, information, and reminders. Perfect for short-term goal planning, it features 28 double-sided sheets made from thick, high quality paper that’s resistant to any bleeding. The brand says it’s perfect not only for productivity, but also for meal planning, travel planning, exercise tracking, and for use as a daily journal.

Pros: large date blocks for hour by hour scheduling; lightweight

This option was created by Cameron herself, and has a focus on gratitude journaling. She explains, "My gratitude journal has spaces to show gratitude for five things that I have already and for five things that i’m manifesting. It has a goal statement, it has a state of being statement, and it has a statement on sending love (so it's 'Who am I sending love to today?')." She says part of her motivation was to open people up to what she calls the two types of gratitude: "There's gratitude for what you have in your life already, and there’s gratitude for manifestation. There, you’re grateful not for the things you have but for the things that are on their way." 

Pros: developed by an expert; gratitude focus; plenty of space for journaling and to do lists

Cons: no date blocks

Customer Review: "It is laid out and such an organized and informative way. It has a section for all things in my daily routine such as present gratitude, sending love, setting intentions, writing out your goal, affirmations, and future gratitude. It is truly a one stop shop and I will definitely be buying one every six months!" -Amazon

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 re-use." And, of course, the planner is undated. It’s a sustainable response to the waste that planners generate from being disposed of year after year, and it has a design that Cameron would approve of, with space for reasonable to do lists, a morning routine, and gratitude lists. It also comes in multiple sizes, so you can pick one that suits you (and your work bag) best.

Pros: space for routine setting, goal setting, and gratitude; editor-approved; comes in multiple sizes

Cons: none found

Customer Review: "I have the large panda planner but moved to the small one for portability. Love all their products and this planner keeps me organized and moving forward!!"

If you're someone who needs plenty of space for the unique needs of each day, this luxury pick from heritage fashion brand Hermès might just be the one for you. It’s undated, of course, and is minimalist on the inside and out. Its pages contain plenty of space for doodling, mind-mapping, goal setting, or simply the spontaneous jotting down of thoughts.

If you're especially goal driven and want to give yourself deadlines based on the current professional quarter, this planner is the one for you. It also comes with prompts designed to bring you inspiration and motivate you along your journey. When I was in sales, this planner was incredibly handy and allowed me to focus on my quarterly goals and overall growth, plus it kept me motivated in what was a notoriously challenging field. Plus, it comes in several different colorways so you can change up the vibe quarter after quarter. 

Pros: focused on goal setting; geared toward motivation and persistence; editor-approved

Cons: doesn't cover the full year (only three months at a time)

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, and because it’s completely undated, I can pick it up or neglect it as often as I please, sans wasted space. Plus, it has dedicated pages for to do lists, which is my primary means of keeping myself organized. And because it’s spiral bound, it’s a breeze to use and fold over.

Pros: editor-approved; plenty of space; completely undated

Cons: large, so can be difficult to carry around

Customer Review: "The Daily Grind Planner has been an absolute GAME CHANGER for me! I'm more productive, focused, and genuinely excited to open my planner every morning. It has a strong focus on goal setting which is honestly something ALL other big planner brands out there were lacking for me. I can use my phone to remember appointments and events, but I really needed something to help me figure out HOW to hit my goals, THIS IS IT!! Plus, for all the creative souls out there like me, the bullet journal style page layout is nice and minimal so you can use markers/stickers to make it even more aesthetically pleasing." -Amazon

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 This means that it includes features like inspirational quotes, undated calendar blocks, mood trackers, creativity exercises, gratitude lists, and more. With this planner, you can feel better about yourself and your trajectory every day. Plus, it’s thin and lightweight, which makes it a breeze to carry it around, whether you’re working at a traditional office or posted up at a cozy café. 

Pros: wellness-focused; space for gratitude; lightweight

Cons: thin cover that can get damaged easily

Customer Review: "I love my new journal! I make time to use it every day and it is helping me to build routines and rituals. The layout is adaptable in so many different ways and lets you track so many different things. This was one of the best choices I've made in my mental health journey." -Silk & Sonder

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 when I can't fit it in my bag). It’s also incredibly affordable, and because it’s undated, it can last you for ages.

Pros: appealing design; lightweight. editor-approved

Cons: none found

For those who are chronically tardy, this planner is the perfect tongue-in-cheek accessory. 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.

Pros: fun cover, trivia, and spaces for doodling; comes with pens

Cons: hard cover makes it bulky

Customer Review: "Each page is full of random holidays, celebrity birthdays, doodle activities and writing prompts. Overall a fun planner." -Amazon

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. My favorite feature, though, is the space it has for your skincare routine. Since I love trying out new products for my skin and hair, it’s great to have a spot where I can keep track of all my serums and creams so that I know what’s working and what isn’t.

Pros: lots of space for each day; fun prompts; great for building routines

Cons: cover, while fun, can be challenging to have out in public at the office

Customer Review: "This planner helps me so much and it's fun to add my gratefuls / intentions to keep me mindful throughout the day." -The Skinny Confidential

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. It also helped me understand what practices weren’t working for me before bed. 

Pros: educational; editor-approved; developed by therapists; wellness-focused; lightweight

Cons: not for to dos, work, and other traditional daily planning

Customer Review: "This actually went above and beyond my expectations. It’s a great tool that I highly recommend!" -Therapy Notebooks

I’m positively obsessed with this planner from Kate Spade. Not only is it chic (in line with my expectations from the brand, of course), but it’s also incredibly functional. It has full page spreads for each day, leaving space for block scheduling, to do lists, prioritizing, and even meal planning. Weighing in at 168 pages, it’s also bulky enough to last you for ages but lightweight enough to stow away in your bag when you’re on the go.

Pros: lots of space for each day; lightweight; easy to carry around; fashionable

Cons: not a lot of note taking space

This planner is perfect for people who, like me, sometimes go a week or so at a time without touching their planner (think: vacations, time off, or those weeks when you don’t have time to sit down and write). 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!

Pros: includes a secure, functional bookmark; completely undated; editor-approved

Cons: daily blocks are small

If one of your long term goals is to eat healthier, cook more, or try new foods and recipes, this is the perfect planner for you.

It’s perfect for foodies like me, for someone who loves fitness (abs are made in the kitchen, people!), or for the doting parent intent on cooking their child healthy, nourishing food.

Pros: lightweight; wellness and health focused; educational

Cons: daily blocks are small; doesn't lay flat

Customer Review: "It’s setup nicely with prompts. It’s paperback and you can easily slip it into a purse or backpack to jot down your thoughts." -Amazon
