![]() ![]() ![]() In June 2020, founder Erin Condren took a leave of absence from the company after she helped her daughter plan a high school graduation march that skirted the school’s decision not to hold an in-person graduation during the pandemic. The back of the planner offers a couple of project-tracker pages to help brainstorm and plan longer-term projects. It has room for extracurricular activities or jobs, weekly goals, and to-do lists, as well. The weekly pages are also lined (which helps keep everything visually organized) and divided into seven class subjects a day. The front has space for a full class schedule, and each monthly page has lined space for each day, plus study tips and boxes for monthly goals and projects. It’s 8.5 by 11 inches and less than 0.5 inch thick, so it has plenty of space for writing and doesn’t add much bulk to a backpack, but it’s still big enough that it won’t get lost or squished surrounded by textbooks, notebooks, and folders on a desk. Why it’s great: The Blue Sky Academic Student Planner is the best out of the eight academic-year planners we’ve tested because it has the most useful features for middle school, high school, and college students, the cover is sturdy, and it’s inexpensive-at this writing, it’s the second-most affordable planner we recommend. ![]() Wherever possible we’ve chosen options that are widely available and come in different sizes and colors. If you’re not sure which type of planner is for you, we cover how to choose the right planner you can also see how we made our picks. Our picks include an academic planner for students, a highly customizable traveler’s notebook, a simple book-bound planner, a minimalist calendar, a refillable ring-bound organizer, an option for memory keeping, a goal-tracking planner, and a bullet journal. We set out to satisfy a range of planning types-from simple scheduling to more artistic uses like journaling and sketching. We’ve researched 122 planners and tested 44 since 2017, and we’ve discovered that most (but not all) of the best planners cost $50 or less. There are so many good planners that we can’t recommend a single standout instead, we’ve found eight, in a range of styles, that people with different priorities will love. You can’t beat the satisfaction of crossing something off your to-do list with a sharp pencil or a smooth pen-and shouldn’t everybody use their phone less anyway?
