9 of the Best Type-A Planners to Organize Your Life in 2024

2024 is coming in hot and I am ready to dive deep into planning for the new year. For me, meticulous planning directly impacts my productivity and project management. In my planner, I’ve even noticed that months and weeks with lots of empty space and little notes usually indicate low productivity.

Thick all-around planners that come with extra space for me to set goals, take notes, track projects, record important info, and even brainstorm are what usually catch my eye. Especially customizable planners that I can make as big or as small as I want, fitted with everything I need to help me execute all my tasks. 

2024 is 2 months out and for all my type-a people here are some planners to kick off your new year and carry it through with great execution and meticulous planning.

If you’re new to planners, especially customizable ones, some brand sites on this list may confuse you. Planners are used to schedule, document,  plan, and manage tasks, projects, and goals.

At The Very Least Most Planners Generally Include

• 12-month year overview
• Yearly holiday overview
• Monthly calendar spread for monthly planning
• Week-by-week spread for weekly planning
• A few pages and spaces for notes

And in this list, I’ve included customizable planners that work a little bit differently. Although they do include basic planner stuff. Buying a customizable planner isn’t as simple as putting an already-made planner into your cart and checking out.

They are put together piece by piece. For some planners like Cloth & Paper’s planners, you might purchase and receive pieces (covers, inserts, bookmarks, dividers) separately. For others, like Golden Coil’s planners, you might still choose your planner pieces separately but receive and purchase your planner as one put-together book.

How to choose and buy a customizable planner

• Pick your covers: The front and back planner covers and/or a folio
• Pick your bind: spiral/binder ring or disc
• Pick your inserts: planner pages that serve different purposes or have different layouts
• Pick your accessories: pens, bookmarks, dividers, etc.

1. Cloth & Paper

I currently use a Cloth & Paper planner and absolutely love it. They sell fully customizable planners that check every box.

My #1 reason for choosing this planner over all the others was because of their large and thorough insert selections. I really appreciate the option to meticulously build my planner exactly how I need it. Plus the possibility to add to my planner during the year. Reason #2 was because their brand aesthetic looks soooo good.
