Best Laid Plans Planners

Ep #305: Need a Summer Fresh Start? Taja Fitness Planner + The Dailee

June 1, 2026

HAPPY JUNE – new month on a Monday. (Hey, it works out 1/7 of the time!)

In today’s episode, I review two planners for listeners looking for some fresh start energy this summer! I remain in a relative state of Planner Peace (I can’t remember a year I didn’t even feel TEMPTED to planner hop by June), but I know that might not be true for everyone. So — here we go!

First is the Taja Fitness Planner (on via Amazon, it’s this one — Amazon affiliate link).

Here’s what the daily spreads in there look like:

This A5 sized undated planner has a ton of features and space for up to 20 weeks of fitness tracking – and is approximately $8, so not a huge risk!

Our second planner up for review is the Dailee 2026-27 Mom Planner (though obviously it could be for anyone in charge of family logistics). This planner is $55 and has over 500 pages (!) of content, from cleaning checklists to packing lists and more.

IT IS A BIG BUBBA, weighing close to 4 lb. I would assume anyone who wanted to use this prefers to keep their planner parked on a desk. As promised, here are some pix!

A few of the other spreads:

there’s also a cleaning checklist with more specifics for spring but there’s a blank one for each month
meal-planning and grocery space every week
additional planning space for each week – appointments, workouts, tasks

I like the aesthetics and layout of this planner a lot, and the paper is not earthshatteringly amazing but I think it’s completely serviceable. I think this particular edition is best for someone who wants a ton of space AND structure, and doesn’t mind a big hefty book! They do also have other editions that are smaller (ie, don’t include all the individual daily pages), so definitely worth checking those out as well. PLUS digital editions and Notion templates!

Send me ideas for what to review next!

AND YES – if you’d like to win this planner, please enter a comment below and I will randomly draw a winner on Friday. Please note I can only send to US or Canada (it’s so heavy!).

Note: I purchased both of the above planners on my own and have no relationship with the companies.
