7 Favorite Homeschool Planners 2023

As a homeschool mom, you know that organization is key to a successful school year. That’s why having the right planner is so important. A good planner can help you keep track of lessons and assignments, stay organized, and manage your time more effectively. But with so many options out there, it can be hard to know which one is best for you and your family. Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered! To help make your decision easier, here are some tips to help you find your perfect homeschool planner, along with my 7 favorites.

Think About Your Needs and Goals

The first step in choosing a homeschool planner is figuring out what your needs and goals are. Do you need something that will help you stay on top of lesson plans and assignments? Are you looking for something that will help keep track of grades and attendance? Or do you just need a basic planner to keep track of appointments, groups, field trips, and events? Knowing what features are important to you will make it easier to narrow down your choices.

Choose the Right Format & Style

Once you’ve identified your needs, it’s time to choose the right format and style for your homeschool planner. There are planners available in both digital and paper formats, so consider which one would work best for you. Digital planners offer the convenience of being able to access them from anywhere, as well as the ability to set up helpful email reminders. Paper planners offer more flexibility when it comes to customization, but they can also be more difficult to keep up with if you’re always on the go. You should also decide what style will best suit your personality. Do you prefer simplistic or are you into lots of extras? Consider all the options before making your final decision!
