With back-to-school in full swing, I’ve been indulging in my obsession with planners. I’ve discussed in a previous post how much I love anything having to do with office supplies (read more on: 28 Best Sites for Office Supplies).
As I’m going from one office supply store to the other, both online and offline, here are 12 of my favorite picks when it comes to planners for working women.

12 Best Planners for Working Women
I was very curious about Erin Condren planners after hearing so much about them. The colors and patterns are absolutely unique and gorgeous, not to mention the included motivational notes and quotes.
The line offers the famous Life Planners, along with monthly, academic, teacher’s lessons, and even wedding planners. The Life Planner is my personal favorite, as it offers the option of a customized cover, layout, and even coil options in black, rose gold, and platinum. You can also choose between the 12 or 18-month format.
Back in 2010, girlboss Whitney English couldn’t find a planner that would fulfill her needs, so she created Day Designer. The result? A streamlined planner that eliminates all the clutter and helps you focus on what’s really important to you.
We can’t talk about planners without thinking of the classic Moleskine planners. Created back in 1997, this classic line of daily, weekly, and monthly planners is as chic as it is timeless. Whenever you use one of these, remember that geniuses the likes of Pablo Picasso, Van Gogh and Ernest Hemingway have also used them!
Limelife Planners’ modern and clean design will win your hears, and conquer your schedule. I love the contemporary design and uncluttered format. It’s easy to use, clear to read and organize too.
These fun Brit + Co planners from Target come with monthly and weekly calendars, to-do lists, activity pages, and blank pages if you just feel like doodling away. The best part? Target also carries a line of accessories that you can mix and match your planners with!
The Designs by Planner perfect is a fun, eclectic and effective line of plan books, goal books, and other stationery products. They’re perfect for the busy mom on the go, or the career woman in need of planning help.
Anthropologie has a pretty cool selection of planners and calendars. One of my favorites is the Happiness 100-Day Planner. What I love about it is that it focuses on positive thinking and personal progress. It’s a great tool to reflect and set your goals.
The Passion Planners come in both dated and undated formats, and even offer an academic planner option. Additionally, each one of these amazing planners start with a compelling prompt to set your short- and long-term goals. You are then encouraged to break these goals into actionable plans to accomplish them. Pretty effective for a planner, right?
Why not add style to your planner? The Kate Spade Cameron agenda is as effective as it’s stylish. Its petite size fits in most handbags, and the zip-around structure protects it to last longer.
The Start Planner is great for entrepreneurs, as it includes sections for budgeting, holiday planning and monthly shopping. In general, everyone can use it to set and accomplish goals.
The Daily Action Planner is perfect if you need to have all your priorities in one place! Whether you’re a busy working mom, an entrepreneur on-the-go or an executive, this planner will help you set goals one month at a time.
Considered as one of the most stunning and comprehensive business planners, the Daily Greatness Planner is perfect for busy business and career women. It encourages you to develop great thinking habits with a focus on personal growth and organization.

When I decided to transition from corporate life to entrepreneurship, I wasn’t sure how to go about it, for the most part. For most, such a huge career transition is downright scary, if not close to impossible. Which is why it takes so many of us, myself included, so long to come to terms with it. Or even attempt it at all…
From my own trials and errors, and from learning from so many other mentors who have successfully done it before, here are 5 steps to follow for a successful corporate life to entrepreneurship transition:
