It’s almost 2023, and no, we’re still not over printed planners. Digital may be taking over the world, but analogue agendas continue to have their charm: They push us to be more creative and less dependent on our gadgets, not to mention, they minimise our screen time, too! So, if you’re a pen-and-paper type of person like us, it’s about time you pick out the 2023 planner for you.

We’ve loved the Good Intentions Journal by Milk Press since it launched its first edition in 2021. Its 2023 planner maintains its sleek and charming look, with spreads for daily to-do lists, weekly and monthly planning, and goal-setting.
Not only is the Good Intentions Journal pretty on the outside — illustrations and inspiring quotes fill the inside pages, too. Finally, its hardbound cover comes in three colourways (taupe, green, and pink). And if you want it personalised, you can have your name stamped in gold foil on the cover, too.

If we had to name just one planner that would serve as a staple for travellers, we’d pick Where To Next. The brand has paid homage to the lifestyle of traversing the world — even amid the pandemic, WTN reminded us to keep exploring the communities we belong to. As such, we look forward to its 2023 planner with the theme Embracing Detours.
Its dateless weekly and monthly spreads are divided by monthly check-ins (peaks and valleys), a budget planner and a mood tracker, bucket lists, maps of the Philippines and the world, and stories of travellers. And, proving its love for the community, WTN allocates a portion of their proceeds to fund livelihood and reforestation projects of Aeta communities in Yangil & Botolan, Zambales.
