Choose your perfect 2022 planner
For 2022, we've created 4 different planner layouts that support different planning preferences and priorities. We've put together this guide to help you choose a planner that you love using...
That time of the year is finally here! Most of our work from the beginning of every year leads up to these busy few months at the end of the year, when we share our yearly planner collection with you. It's such an exciting time and every year we challenge ourselves to something a little better and offer something new. For ourselves (and I'm sure a lot of you can relate), a new planner marks a new beginning. That moment when you open your yearly planner cover and flip through the pages that you cannot wait to start filling in with big plans, exciting goals and new habits. It's a fresh start.
Choosing a planner that suits your planning style and preferences is absolutely crucial in order to stick to using it consistently and making the most of it. Most importantly - we hope it brings value, it inspires you, it helps you stay on track and serves as a beautiful keepsake that holds your dreams and plans for the year, and helps you reflect on your personal growth.
For 2022, we've created 4 different planner layouts that support different planning preferences and priorities. We've put together this guide to help you choose a planner that you love using and that helps you stay inspired and motivated throughout the year. Without further ado, let's dive in.
LIFESTYLE WEEKLY PLANNER
The perfect combination of organisation and reflection for those who seek to maintain a balanced work/personal life.
The Lifestyle Weekly Planner is designed to help you set your yearly goals and create an action plan to achieve them, whilst also giving you space to reflect on your journey - lessons, challenges and highlights.
Features:- dedicated space for yearly reflection and goal-setting
- monthly planning page
- monthly, weekly reflection, habit-tracking and personal check-in's
- 4 month check-in's to review your progress
- weekly planning overview with lined space for each day & a to-do list
- end of the year reflection with life highlights, challenges, lessons and life wheel
Cover: Hard book-bound planner with textured faux leather cover (available in 5 colours).
Who is it perfect for?
The Lifestyle Weekly Planner is the perfect planner for those who seek to maintain a balanced work/personal life. It gives you space for practical to-do's, priorities, habits and also encourages and supports your personal growth. It's great if you want your planner to help you focus on both personal and professional goals.
You love detailed planning/brainstorming/visualising for the year ahead and want to have a space that allows you to break your goals down into action steps monthly & weekly. You like to have space for daily tasks, however, don't need the daily space to be too detailed. You have a few to-do's for the day and use the lined daily section for any priorities, reminders, personal check-in's or creative writing/reflection.
You like your planner to offer you extra inspiration with quotes, uplifting phrases and also different questions that spark ideas and encourage reflection and moments of mindfulness. If this sounds like the things you like to focus on, this planner is for you.

VERTICAL WEEKLY PLANNER
Planner designed with a weekly layout and daily time schedule for appointments & time-blocking.
Following the popularity of our Undated Weekly Planner, we decided to also offer a yearly dated version in this layout for 2022 and are so excited to now be able to offer the Vertical Weekly planner in our collection.
Most of the features included are very similar to those in the Lifestyle Planner with a few slight changes (such as half a page for notes at the end of the week instead of weekly reflective questions like it is in the Lifestyle Planner).
Features:
- dedicated space for yearly reflection and goal-setting
- monthly planning page
- weekly planning page
- monthly, weekly reflection, habit tracking and personal check-in's
- weekly planning spread with vertical layout and 7am - 7pm time schedule
- 4 month check-in's to review your progress
- end of the year reflection with life highlights, challenges, lessons and life wheel
Cover: Smooth touch faux leather soft cover (available in 4 colours).
Who is it perfect for?
The Vertical Weekly Planner is great for those who love to have all yearly planning/brainstorming/visualisation elements, weekly overview and prefer to plan each day with a time-schedule.
You like to note daily priority that you want to focus on each day, but prefer to plan the rest of your day as a time schedule. You either have quite a few appointments or meetings in your days that you like to be able to see in a weekly overview so it's easier for you to plan your time. On days with more to-do's and less meetings/appointments, you like to put your main tasks and any goals for the day ahead in a time-block format, assigning a timeframe for a particular task. You don't need lots of space for daily notes and just like to stick to the main tasks/appointments for the week and assign them to a particular day.

* This layout also comes in a Ring Binder format.
What are the main differences between the Lifestyle and Vertical Weekly planners?
The overall structure of both of these planners is very similar when it comes to yearly planning, goal setting, weekly priority planning, habit tracking and reflection on personal growth and goals. However, the main difference is the weekly overview section as the Lifestyle Planner offers horizontal layout with lined space for each day and a box for important to-do's and the Vertical Weekly planner offers a vertical layout with time-schedule as the main feature for weekly planning. Vertical Weekly Planner is also a little more lightweight since it comes in a soft cover compared to Lifestyle Planner that comes in a hardcover.
DAILY PLANNER
A true sidekick for 2022 that combines a planner and a journal. Organise & reflect everyday to document your journey throughout the year.
The Daily Planner offers the most detailed planning opportunities. It's great if you love to write down detailed to-do lists for each day, as it's a day-per-page planner.
Features:
- dedicated space for yearly reflection and goal-setting
- monthly planning page
- weekly planning page
- monthly, weekly reflection and habit-tracking
- 4 month check-in's to review your progress
- day-per-page planning with space for personal notes, 7am - 7pm schedule and space for notes
- end of the year reflection with life highlights, challenges and lessons
Cover: smooth touch faux leather soft cover (available in 4 colours).
Who is it perfect for?
Perfect for those who enjoy a creative space to plan meaningful days with top priorities, use a schedule or time-blocking as well as love reflecting on each day. You love filling in a full page for each dat, noting down your morning thoughts/intentions, marking appointments/meetings in a time schedule, writing down your most important tasks for the dat, as well as checking in at the end of each day and reflecting on the best things that happened that day. It's great for tracking and reflecting on your personal growth as well as managing a busy daily schedule and love of different tasks in your day.
If you love using your planner daily with lots of space for tasks, personal check-ins, and love to track your progress, you will love this planner.
What are the main differences between the Daily Planner and both weekly planners mentioned above (Lifestyle and Vertical Weekly planners)?
This planner is definitely the most detailed planner we offer in our yearly collection. Compared to both weekly planner versions, this is the only planner in the yearly collection that offers a day-per-page layout, therefore giving you the most space for detailed planning.
Since this is a daily planner and cover a full year, this is the thickest & heaviest 2022 planner in our collection.

MINIMAL PLANNER
A minimalistic planner for the essentials. A simple, clean layout with space for your most important goals and tasks.
Just like the title suggests, this is the most minimalistic planner we offer. Even though it has the same signature structure as the other planners mentioned (yearly reflection & goal setting, monthly planning pages and personal reflection), it comes in the most concise format with least details.
The Minimal Planner features the classic week-per-spread layout. It includes yearly reflection and planning as well as monthly goal-setting, weekly planning and monthly reflection.
Features:
- dedicated space for yearly reflection and goal-setting
- monthly planning page
- weekly planning spread with space for daily notes on one side and top priority & to-do list for the week on the other side
- monthly reflection
- end of the year reflection with life highlights, challenges and lessons
Cover: Textured faux leather flexi cover (available in 5 colours).
Who is it perfect for?
It's perfect for those who love a planner that’s light enough to take with you on the go, yet has space to keep goals, plans, weekly tasks and important notes all in one place - sleek, lightweight & practical. You like to note down your most important goals & break down your tasks monthly & weekly, however, don't require lots of space for daily notes. You love personal check-in's that are not too frequent, and just love to look back at your month and note down highlights, lessons & challenges.
What are the main differences compared to the other planners in the collection?
The Minimal Planner offers the most concise layout and allows you to focus on the most important goals only. Compared to the rest of the planners, it doesn't offer as much space for personal reflection and check-ins. This is also the only planner in the yearly collection that doesn't have a habit tracking and weekly reflection section. It is designed for the essentials and as a planner that allows you to note down your appointments, meetings, and important tasks that need to be completed each week.
