Have you found your 2023 Planner yet? There are so many amazing options these days, and it can be hard to choose! So here in Episode 88 of Just One Simple Thing, you’ll learn three important things to look for in your new planner, and a little about some of my favorite planners.

If you're anything like me, picking out your planner for the next year can be exciting, but at the same time it can also be daunting.

 Let’s dive into the tips first.

1. Think about how and where you’re going to use your planner.

Consider if your planner needs to be portable or will you only use it at your desk?

2. Consider how much time you can commit to spending with your planner each day.

Carefully consider what you need to keep track of in your "second brain".

3. Pick the most simple planner that meets your most important needs.

Most of us are pre-wired to be discouraged by un-used space. If you have a complicated planner and can't use all the features, you may feel like you aren't doing enough.  Keep things simple.

Now, let’s talk about a few planners  I love.

My favorite is the Golden Coil planner. Using the interactive tool on their website, you can select every page in your planner, plus plain or designer cover prints. Find it at goldencoil.com and follow them on IG @golden.coil.

Another of my favorites is the Spaces Planner. If you are a lover of making lists, this is the planner for you.  Find it at spacesplanner.com and follow them on IG @spacesplanner.

I also love the Dream Planner from Horatio Printing. It has both vertical and horizontal versions, and plenty of space for dreaming and planning. You can find it at horatioprinting.com and follow them on IG @horatioprinting.

ACTION STEP
Before you get bombarded by the Black Friday ads, make a list of what you need from a planner next year, and set a budget. You can go to my free Facebook group Plan & Pray with Do A New Thing to grab a worksheet to help you do that, and compare features of different planners. And if you have a planner you’ve created, or one you love, share about it on social media and tag me @doanewthing. I’d love to check it out, and you just might see your post shared in my feed.
