Considering we’re all writers, readers, and bloggers here at MVL, you can probably tell that we appreciate a good solid notebook or agenda to jot down our thoughts and plans. Especially considering how much we value handwriting. Thoughts and plans for the day, week, and beyond can take up so much mental space, and I can’t tell you the relief I feel as someone who has 50 different high-priority tasks going on each day, getting it all out on paper. It makes it so you don’t need your mind pulled in all those directions at once, and you don’t deal with the anxiety of potentially forgetting something important. Having a place for all those tasks and ideas is so important, so I think of a good planner as a meaningful investment. Of course, even the best planners generally don’t come with enough space for ALL I want to jot down, so I like to keep a few quality journals on hand too. Here are the best 2017 planners and journals we could find… Hope you find the perfect one for you!

1) Ted Baker All The Write Moves Notebook is a classy journal you’ll want to break out at your fave coffee shop for a moment of pause.
