Have you binge watched The Home Edit Season 2, yet?
I think I saw the entire season in one sitting. Watching it made me want to order clear bins and labels galore. And, though I already color coordinate my closet and drawers, I think I might need to implement more rainbow hues in my life. However, I might just start with a planner to edit my schedule.
While browsing Target last week, I stumbled upon a planner display that instantly “wowed” me. First, full disclosure, I’m a planner and office/school supply junkie. I love writing utensils and pretty, fancy notebooks. I wish I still needed a back-to-school shopping spree, so I can’t help myself when I walk by the Target office supply section—I always make a detour to see what’s new.
What caught my eye was the new The Home Edit planner collaboration with Day Designer. There are a variety of covers to pick from, including various sizes from a standard notebook size, a medium size, and a smaller one perfect to throw in your purse. There are also options when it comes to book-bound or spiral-bound notebooks. When you open the planners, they’re all similar inside and feature the rainbow hues The Home Edit duo is known for.
The collaboration, “applies their signature approach of decluttering to life planning.”
The first pages of the planners are the perfect spot to get you planning and brainstorming as you do a complete “Home Edit” to your social calendar and yearly goals with pages that include: “Embracing the Low-Bar Lifestyle,” a space for you to list your milestones, big goals and small goals for the year ahead; there’s also a spot to add what you want to do more of and less of. Next it’s “Life Goals,” on this page is where you’ll break down your goals and set a date you would like to accomplish them by including spots to fill for goals for yourself, for them, at work, at home, and just because. Then it’s time to do your “Daily Edit,” here is where you’ll jot down both your morning and evening routines and what you need to add to them in order to help you achieve your bigger goals. Finally, it’s time to implement “Upkeep is Everything,” here is where you’ll go through your check list and add birthdays, important dates, planned trips, class schedules, family to-dos, fitness goals, and finance goals to your calendar. Because if you don’t maintain the steps to help you reach your long-term and short-term goals, you won’t get there at the end of the 365 days.

The planner itself features a fun quote before each month, and the breakdown is a monthly view and weekly view. The weekly view is broken down by date where there is a spot for you to add what you want to accomplish during “my day” and a check list area to mark down your “to-do” list. At the end of the month, there’s a spot for you to reassess your goals and procedures. Here is where you’ll give yourself a “gold star” for the things you did accomplish, get “extra credit” for the things you did but didn’t have to, come to terms with “things you didn’t do” and realize “it’s not going to be fine for somethings you didn’t get to” and note the “things you had to do—so you need to do them next month.”
Now, if that doesn’t get you in the mood to do a complete “Home Edit” on your social life and goals, I don’t know what else will. The planners are dated starting July 2022 and run through June 2023; there are also two bonus month views for May and June.
The product line also includes a gold ballpoint pen, a wall calendar, a sticky notepad checklist to jot down your to-do list in the same format of “things you can’t forget,” “things you get bonus points if done,” and “everything else;” a rainbow-shaped composition notebook; and a spiraled notebook with 80 lined pages; and a faux leather padfolio, which includes a sewn-in pocket and refillable 50-page notepad—the pages have a spot for notes and then a right column there are boxes for date, topic, don’t forget, bonus points for things done, and an everything else section.
My personal favorite of the collection is a weekly/monthly wire-bound refillable planner, which comes with a few stickers, a bookmarker, and the same spots for yearly goals, intentions, daily habits, month in review, and more. This faux leather portfolio includes a sewn-in pocket and large refillable planner with weekly and monthly layouts to keep you on top of your schedule. The portfolio is undated and comes in black or pink option.
And, the one thing that came home with me that day? The small black and white polka dot, book bound planning calendar because even though I already own a planner (two actually!), I wanted something small enough to always have on hand in my purse.
