Top 7 Stylish Daily Planners for 2013

*** New Post for 2014 Daily Planners!
Keeping a calendar is the most fundamental step to managing your daily activities and is important  to getting the new school year and 2013 off to the right start. By logging appointments, events and assignments in a daily planner, you can reduce stress by knowing that you aren’t forgetting anything. When kept up-to-date, a planner allows you to find needed information quickly, prioritize effectively and schedule appointments immediately.
Even though there are great online calendar options, I still enjoy writing down our household schedule in a  traditional daily planner. With so many stylish designs available, the tough part is selecting one!

 

Here’s my list of favorite planners for 2013:
