I have had a funny relationship with planners over the years — I guess you could say we've been in an on-again, off-again situationship for quite some time. During some years I have been utterly devoted, living and breathing by my planner and what it contains. I've also gone a full 12 months in 2022 without using a planner once, but I started to find that I … miss it.
Enter: The Happy Planner. This planner has managed to revive the spark and get me interested again, and I'm already looking forward to digging into 2023 and making this the best planner year yet. Here are five reasons why The Happy Planner is the planner to enter the new year with, promise.
The Happy Planner partners with independent and smaller artists.
One of the very best things about The Happy Planner is that the brand partners with small and independent artists to promote their work, collaborate on design, and offer unique planner options for the brand's customers. If this speaks to you, check out the planner brand's artist collaborations to find a design that you love — as many of us planner-heads know, having a planner that fits our aesthetic is half of the joy of planning.

The Happy Planner's organization is functional *and* beautiful.
The inside of a planner is possibly even more important than the outside of one! Anyone who delighted in making sure every single Trapper Keeper and binder you used as a student had colorful tabs will be thrilled with how well The Happy Planner is organized on the inside.
The Happy Planner has tons of space for notes and memos.
When it comes to planners, I love to have a lot of space to jot things down quickly (or slowly). Sometimes I add quotes or song lyrics inside my planner, and ideas for short stories and articles, and I always appreciate having space to write down weekly goals, tasks, and what I need to be preparing for ahead of time. The Happy Planner has all this and more! Each week has a spot for tasks, important notes to remember, and what you're looking ahead to.
The Happy Planner's month pages are perfection.
The monthly pages in most planners are wildly important for those of us who need to be able to glance quickly and know what's coming up. This is the spot where I like to color-code the month ahead, making sure my kid-related notes are one color, my appointments and meetings are another, and so on. There's a lot of space for each day and a whole sidebar to jot down something quickly.
The Happy Planner also offers stickers!
Stickers are a really fun way to diversify and personalize your planner, and The Happy Planner has no shortage of fun options that let you do just that. Categories include functional stickers, seasonal stickers, teacher and student stickers, and more.
