As someone who struggles with time management, I always hope that buying a planner will somehow make me more organized. The problem with planners is that if you skip a week (or a month), those skipped pages become useless. It’s easy to accrue a pile of untouched, unloved calendars. It feels like too much pressure, and for that reason, I hadn’t bought a planner since my grade school days. That is, until I found an undated planner from Poketo, a stylish LA-based stationery, office supply and decor company.

Poketo’s monthly planner features a simple unnumbered grid with days of the week on the top row. You can then fill in the days at the start of the month, but if you don’t, you can use it the next month. The beauty of the undated planner is that you can buy it at any time of the year, not just at the beginning of January or the start of the school year. There’s also a lot less pressure with an undated planner. I’ve skipped more months in my planner than I’d care to admit, but the planner still has plenty of usable pages. The dream of being more organized lives on.
The particular monthly planner I use has since sold out, but there are tons of great alternatives that you can buy to help you get organized. Or, at the very least, to feel organized. The best undated planners range from monthly planners, which feature a grid for keeping track of long-term plans, to daily planners that allow you to write out the day’s agenda in more detail. There are more in-depth planners that feature weekly, monthly and yearly planning. Read on for a handful of options for the best undated planners to buy in 2022 (or as a gift for 2023).
