Why I Love My Task Planner: A List

This is the sixth year that I’ve done my Books n Chocs post (here it is) and I’ve just realised that it is also the sixth year I’ve bought the “Task Planner” from US stationery brand, Appointed. You’d think it would be madness buying a diary or planner from an American brand, what with me being in the UK - surely all of the date formats are the wrong way around and the pages in between the months have titles saying things like “fall to-do list” and “holiday season agenda”?

But no. Not so. I actually had to flick through my 2024 diary and double check that this definitely isn’t, in fact, a UK brand: because apart from a few major holidays printed into the calendar sections (Independence Day, Memorial Day, etc) there is absolutely nothing that makes it US-specific.

I first discovered Appointed through Anna Newton (of the Wardrobe Edit) - she did a collaboration with them and produced a really stylish set of notebooks and bits and pieces that included the Task Planner. You know when you find something that really feels as though it has been made exactly for your needs? That’s how I feel about this Task Planner. Let me list the ways in which it floats my organisational boat.
