2022 Planner Recommendations for Every Budget

Philippines


Planners are organization favorites. They help you (1) manage your time, (2) be more productive in the day, and (3) prioritize tasks to avoid overwhelming one's self with work, to name a few.

And with those plus points under its belt, it is safe to say that analog planners are a gift to the world; and they come in all styles, sizes, and luckily, price tags too. 😉

As the new year comes in less than three months, it's high time to buy a new planner (or a journal for a bujo) now before they run out. So here's the rundown of the planners I recommend that's fitting for any budget you're at. 

Let's begin. 💗


Budget: PHP 100 and below


1. Papemelroti pocket planner, dated (PHP 20)

Easy on the pocket, created from recycled paper, and proudly local, Papemelroti's pocket planner can be a good start if you want to take a feel on what analog planning is. The price point is also very student-friendly, plus all their graphics are designed by award-winning Filipino artist Robert Alejandro. Steal!

1. Inky Livie weekly planner notepad (PHP 250)

There is an obvious hard work and mad wit behind the creation of this planner. These pads from Inky Livie come in two comical but equally functional variants designed by Asa Montenejo, Wala Nang Mas Organized Pa Sa Akin (assumingly for Type As) and May Bukas Pa (for procrastinators). And the best part? Each weekly pad holds 60 sheets—that's good for more than a year of use!
