My Favorite Planner Ever! (& Coupon for you)
Over the years, I have spent loads of time looking and way too much money trying out planners that didn’t work. But FINALLY I found the best one ever. It is just the right layout, size, and look I was searching for. I can’t keep this fabulous product to myself!
Ok. Here is the low-down…
The itsjustemmy planner comes in both a calendar year version (January-December) and an academic year one. I LOVE the academic format of August – July because I think of my “year” going from the beginning of August through the end of July. Although I do have a calendar app I use, I adore writing in this paper planner and seeing it on my desk or kitchen counter with my week spread out before me–in a vertical daily layout. (I think of my day from top to bottom, not side to side.)
All the itsjustemmy planners include both month and week-at-a-glance pages. And for fun, they can be purchased with the personalized designed covers or blank covers, if you prefer to add your own crafty touches. (I have sometimes had a Bible verse put on the front under my name. This year I chose a quote from Anne of Green Gables: “Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet.”)
Why I love this planner
A few aspects I love about this planner: the pages are sturdy paper, perfect for writing and even highlighting. Instead of highlighters, you may wish to use Washi tape. You can come up with your own color-coding method, if you roll that way. Or just write in it all in pencil, if you wish. I actually love to use these erasable pens. They are the BEST!
I also appreciate that on the week-at-a-glance sections, there is a bottom square. You can use it to record tasks. I use it to list what I hope to serve for supper. Notice I said “hope.”
Other fabulous features:
- Plenty of room for to-do lists and meal-planning or creative journaling about your activities
- Spiral-bound so they lay flat nicely
- Double-pocket folder to hold appointment reminder cards, receipts, coupons, and more
- All planners with decorative covers can also be personalized for a small fee.
Ahhh!!! I just adore this useful tool! Trust me, once you feel the itsjustemmy planner love, you’ll never go back!

I love planners, these are beautiful. I noticed she use to sell covers too. Liked the idea of that as well. Thanks for sharing .
I love the itsjustemmy August 2019 to July 2020 Weekly Day Planner, Plain Cover
I love any kind of planner! I love them all!!
I like the sweet tea planner!
Love the planners! However what really got me excited is the erasible pens. Didn’t know they existed. Again Karen you opened my eyes to something! Thank you so much
I like the sermon notebook
This looks like such a beautiful gift for my daughters. Especially the August to July planner for my daughter that is a teacher. I absolutely love it!
So many things I like! I love the calendar with the pictures of campers on the cover. The legacy prayer journals are nice, too.
I love the Lemon Chiffon planner! So adorable! ???
I really like the August to July planner. As a teacher, that is how my year works. I also noticed that the daily plan space has later times. My current planner only goes until 5 pm so anything after that gets crammed into a tiny space.
There are about three designs that I like!
Thanks for sharing about this planner?
I like the Rocky Road Planner.
I would love to try the academic day planner! As an educator, I’m always looking for a good planner to meet my needs. I think this is it! I love the idea of filling it with the Word too!
Lover her D.C. planner design!
I love the planner but that prayer journal is pretty cool too. I love the name of it. Mustard Seed. Knowing I’ve ordered from other similar etsy shops in the past this is even better.
I would so love to have a nice planner like this! As a homeschool mom a planner is almost necessary for me and I have never had a nice one like that! Thanks for this article!
This makes me feel like Karen is my own personal shopper! I love the planner I have used for years, however- it is not being produced in an academic format anymore. As an educator, I need the academic format in order for my brain to function. :) I love the “Rocky Road” design the best! “Cotton Candy” comes in a close second. This is something for me to ponder because If I am going to switch it up, now is the time. :) Thanks Karen for the info. Shopping for a planner is no joke.
I love the planner that goes from August until July. I love all the colors. I am a school teacher and this is the first planner I’ve seen organized like this that actually feels useful. So many don’t leave enough space or they are too big. I pretty much plan my life on this type of schedule because of work so this planner looks awesome. I’m in the process of building a house so it would be great to have everything in one place.
Love the “how to pray for your soldier” cards. My husband is about to deploy
I like the Maui cover the best. I love bright colors.
My favorite is cotton candy!!
It looks like the store has tons of great stuff. I really like the prayer journals as I have been wanting to be more intentional about my prayer life.
I love the itsjustemmyplanner layout!
Oh I think the God’s Word for training your child’s heart would be a nice gift for my daughters.
Karen,
I like the Legacy Prayer Journal, Bound Book, Bright Pink, Yellow and Coral Honeycomb with Coral Accents.
My favorite is the Cotton Candy one. So cute and who could not feel happy looking at that each day :)
