With the new year fast approaching, you're likely not only figuring out your resolutions, but also searching for some of the best 2016 planners that will make for your most organized year yet. Admittedly, I'm not one of those people who gets overly excited about the beginning of a new year. I'm the type that sits home on New Year's Eve with sweatpants and ice cream. But, if there was anything that could manage to have me eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new date on the calendar, it's not confetti and champagne. Instead, it's a brand new planner. It's pretty much equivalent to the excitement of getting new school supplies when you were younger — there's nothing like the promise of a blank, fresh planner.

Needless to say, picking out my perfect planner for the new year takes some serious thought and consideration. And, I typically find myself perusing a bunch of different options before officially deciding on my ultimate organization companion for the new year.
