What’s new?

Undated layouts. More flexibility.

This year’s planner comes undated and includes a custom date dot sticker set, so you can drop dates into your layouts exactly where you need them.

The sticker set includes date dots for every month and week (yep – 24 months total), so you can customize your layouts and start your planning year whenever it makes sense for your program.

Whether you’re the adviser who plans in June or the one who waits until August (no judgment), this planner works on your timeline. Want to skip spring break entirely? Go for it!

Why the change? 
Last year, tariffs made it impossible to get planners produced at a feasible production cost. An undated format means I can re-order this year’s planner next year, which keeps costs *significantly* lower, which makes the planner more affordable for you. 🙂

DON’T MISS THIS

Pre-ordering is the only way to guarantee you get a copy​

Secure your copy

You know how this works better than anyone. Planner production is really similar to yearbook production.

Your students pre-order their yearbook because that’s how you determine your print run. You can’t just guess and hope for the best. Same deal here.

The undated layout means you’re not stuck if your planner arrives in May but you don’t crack it open until August. Nothing is wasted. But the print run is a one-shot deal. Once I submit that number, that’s what gets made.

So: your planner is now more flexible. The printer is not.

There may be a handful of extra copies available once they arrive, as I always order a few extra to cover printing errors or shipping issues, but the only way to guarantee a planner lands on your desk is to order one now. 

Pretty please. 🙏🏻

WELL LOVED, DEARLY MISSED LAST YEAR​

What other advisers think​

“Absolutely love your planner! I’ve had planners for over 30 years and yours is by far the best I’ve used. I even bought the last year’s out of date version had and customized with my own stickers. The new undated version will be perfect!”

“I’m very much a paper girly, even though the world is turning digital. So, I would LOVE to have a paper planner and your planner gives me all the adviser things I need without having to have a second planner.”

“I’m SO excited for the paper edition — I would order it right now if I could use it to start getting better organized. I tried printing my own copy and I’m just lost without my paper version!!!”

“I have LOVED the planner, even in years when I haven’t used it as much as I should (always trying to improve that…ha!). This will be my 5th one, I think? I was one of those who bought the previous year’s leftover last year and stickered it myself :). Excited to get the new one and get next year planned!”

“PS – love the color pages! I copy them for my editors on deadline days to take a brain break.”

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!

Don’t forget your accessories!

plus, all-new sticker packs this year!
