Whether you’re a paper planner fan or have gone fully digital, there’s something magical about planning tools this time of year. The sight of fresh pages and a brand-new calendar can inspire even the most organized among us to take on whatever the coming year has in store.
It’s been a few years since I’ve used a physical planner, but I’ve always delighted in looking at and trying various products. I’m currently managing nicely with my Google Calendar and Todoist apps, but I do miss the feel of a paper planner and the excitement of having a clean slate every 365 days.
Over the years, I experimented with a wide range of planning products which offered functional and attractive layouts (I reviewed a few of them here), but none balanced beauty and practicality quite like MomAgenda.
One of the things I loved about the MomAgenda layout was its weekly grid format. It offered a clear snapshot of my week, which made balancing client projects, blogging, and personal plans much easier.
Most of my activities aren’t scheduled for specific times, so the flexible layout suited me perfectly. And I’m a visual person, so having monthly spreads for reference helped me keep track of bigger projects and deadlines.
I loved the variety of fashionable colors offered by MomAgenda, as well as the inspiring quotes printed throughout. Any tool that appeals to me esthetically makes the process more enjoyable, so I’m more likely to use it faithfully.

Even though I’ve fully embraced digital tools, I still appreciate the appeal of a beautifully designed planner. Writing by hand has a tactile quality that many people find grounding, and flipping through real pages offers a sense of progress that apps can’t quite replicate. That’s one reason I love exploring and sharing great products, even if they’re not part of my own workflow anymore.
Many people still prefer paper planners, whether for the satisfaction of crossing off completed tasks or the creative joy of personalizing their layouts. If that sounds like you (or someone you work with), MomAgenda is a wonderful option to consider.

Ahhh. The days of paper planners. Paper had been my go-to preference, but over the years, I switched to using digital tools for my calendar, planning, and task lists. I like that it’s accessible over all my devices, with excellent cuing aspects, and layouts that work well.
However, I do miss that tactile feel of pen to paper. And while my digital task list (2Do) has an electronic, animated ‘cross it off’ feature, it’s not quite the same as crossing off something with a marker.
The main point, though, is to use tools that work for you. There are many people who prefer paper planners. And if so, the product you featured looks great. I’ve heard of it, but have never used one.
Congrats on your collaboration with them!
Thanks, Linda! It’s hard to balance between the efficiency of digital tools and the tactile effect of paper, isn’t it? My transition was gradual and involved many different apps until I settled on my current stack, but I still miss not just the feel of writing on paper, but the ability to leaf through an old planner for a look back at a certain time in my life.
I’m a paper planner person. I love that I can work with it and in it at all times, whether there is good WIFI or not. I usually do planning on flights for this reason!
I also love being able to quickly jot down thoughts. I can certainly understand the value of Google calendar, but it definitely takes more time to enter things into one. Plus, if you have an activity that day, but it has no associated time, it gets tricky.
My paper planner has the day’s calendar on the left and space for the days to-do items on the right. It really works for me.
I don’t put tasks on my calendar for the reason you mention. Only appointments and other timed activities go there. I use Todoist for my tasks. They do integrate, so I can see calendar events at the top of my daily tasks in Todoist, so I won’t make the mistake of overplanning. I could also show my tasks at the top of my daily calendar, but it’s just too messy for me that way.
I’m a paper person but also use Google Calendar since I am having more and more meetings with Zoom or Google meet links. It’s easy to add the links to my online calendar. I use the Planner Pad. I like the funnel aspect of the weekly 2-page layout. I don’t think I’ve seen the MomAgenda and am interested to know more about it as I just love all these tools!
I can’t even imagine entering details for an online meeting in a paper planner! Lots of work to write it out, and more work to type it into your computer when it’s time for the meeting – and plenty of room for error!
I’m a person who uses a paper planner and a digital planner. Though I created my own planner pages using a spreadsheet, I was having issues writing with my hands for recurring tasks. So I added them to the weekly planner I created in my spreadsheet app and updated it with my digital planner information if there is anything unique for that week. It works well.
If I only used paper planners, I found one by At-a-Glance called Foundation that features vision boards, mind mapping, blocking time, habit tracker, etc…
There really are planners for everyone, aren’t there? There’s got to be a way for me to integrate one into my existing routine, without creating extra work, don’t you think?
I absolutely love paper planners; what else for Paper Doll? While I use a digital calendar for anything done at my desk, particularly for storing Zoom links (which, obviously, you can’t write in a tiny box), the minute I type something, I forget it (the Zeigarnik Effect in action?), whereas anything I hand-write on my calendar is locked in place.
Not a mom, but I can definitely see the appeal of the MomAgenda, and I love that you’ve got a discount to offer readers!
They used to have one called myAgenda, which was similar but without the “mom” focus, and that’s the one I had before. Other than a page for Kids’ Medical Info and a box labelled “KIDS” on the calendar pages (which is small and easily ignored), it’s not so mom-oriented that it won’t work for people without children at home or at all.
