One of my dear friends swears by her day planner and carries it with her everywhere. She writes down important events and it even holds her checks/credit cards. After seeing her use it, I am inspired to get one too. I love the idea of having something with you, that you can write on.

I set out to find the perfect day planner and I found it. So now, I will share with you the top 6 and you will see why they made the list. I’ve also given you my top pick which is my absolute favorite organizer.
