From planners to motivate and help keep those glutes in tiptop shape to agendas that promote less inflammatory lifestyles to journals that call for regular reflection, these are the best options for planning and staying on track. And there’s something for everyone: Whether it’s a minimalist fitness binder to keep in your gym tote or a splashy designer collab that you’ll proudly perch on your desk, these planners will help you achieve all your wellness goals for the new year.
Papier
This paper planner has motivation written all over it. More than a simple weekly to-do guide, the notebook comes with space to make shopping lists, review goals, track habits and reflect on personal growth. You can fill the dates in on your own, so there’s no silly pressure to start exactly on January 1, or if you skip a day. And since it has a dual journal purpose, it also serves as your daily dose of me-time.
Saltwrap
Those with a specific goal (finally training for that half marathon?) will love this fitness planner with detailed daily logs that let you record both your training type and specific exercises in your routine. Weekly check-ins allow you to reflect back on the prior week, while planning pages help you dream for the future. A food log also lets you track calories that might be necessary for an upcoming major event.
Catbird
A whimsical collaboration between Catbird and famed French house Astier de Villatte, this classic agenda provides just the right dose of motivation to schedule workouts, health goals and milestones—potentially for the sole purpose of scribbling in the elegantly designed pages. The cover is adorned in the brand’s iconic cubist print in bright, gorgeous shades, while the interior is full of surprises (think: silly made-up holidays and an insider-y “Little Black Book” guide). You’ll proudly display this agenda on your desk alongside your favorite fountain pen.
Anthropologie
A healthy, balanced life starts with gratitude, which is just what this organizer prompts each morning. Using six unique, researched steps designed to help you reflect on your current self-care practices, this wellness planner helps you recognize areas for improvement while generating ideas for new activities that add moments of joy. From there, it helps prioritize daily well-being, with everything from better sleep habits to water intake and beyond.
Saks Fifth Avenue
Ban.Do’s funky “You’re Doing So Well” planner is packed with ways to up your game in every arena (read: helpful prompts on thinking about the environment and your community). A particularly fun detail: the “Pantry Goals” page, which reminds you to keep kitchen essentials like apple cider vinegar and dried chickpeas on hand for quick, healthy meals. Don’t worry, it also promotes room for indulgence like freezer-stored cookie dough (with antioxidant-boosting chocolate chips, of course).
Net-a-Porter
Featuring the century-old brand’s signature pebbled leather and featherweight blue paper, this luxury leather agenda is display-worthy yet compact enough to always have on you. Use the accompanying chic pen to jot down daily goals, plans and to-do lists that are worthy of this elevated diary (morning yoga practice, farmer’s market runs and afternoon meditation come to mind).
POPFLEX
This planner sells out quickly, so if a new fitness regimen is on your radar for 2022, this is one to snap immediately. A full page devoted to “100 Glute Challenges” shares day-by-day illustrated moves that will have your derriere in shape by spring, alongside water intake, mood and meal trackers to help keep you accountable. It also includes monthly fitness challenges and recipes that anyone can get behind, like healthy pumpkin pancakes.
Anthropologie
While not your typical self-care planner, Idewild’s oversized 2022 calendar is filled with moments that will feed your soul. With monthly to-dos like “delight a friend from afar with a letter by post” and “indulge in a full moon embrace,” this whimsical wall art is something to be cherished. And its hand-painted vibe and cool feminine flair will lift your spirits any time you glance at the date.
Amazon
This 2022 planner will help you build healthy habits every single day, with dozens of health tips and hacks for increasing energy and, of course, sleeping better. You’ll love the “60 Second Health Boosters” like drizzling carbs with olive oil or vinegar first or learning to properly dry your hands after washing—all useful tips from doctors and nutritionists.
