Hey, planner friends!
Our 2026 planner system is finally finalized! Every year around this time, the most exciting thing is planning out new notebooks—it feels like we're pre-arranging a "sparkling" year for ourself.
This year, our strategy is crystal clear: Bound notebooks (the kind you can’t remove pages from) will handle systematic, long-term records, while ring-binders (the kind you can mix and match pages in) will handle daily portability and hobby exploration.
Today, let's focus on these super cute notebooks, which will form the pillars of our complete 2026 journaling system!
No.1 The Efficiency Pillar: Cat Weekly Planner (Work/Tracker)
This "Cat Weekly Planner" is definitely our Chief Efficiency Officer! We're designating it as our Work Notebook and our Habit Tracking Center.
- Its Purpose: To focus on task planning and habit formation.
Okay, let's talk about how we actually use this cute thing!
Right up front, those annual calendar pages are our lifeline for quick date spotting. But where the real magic happens is breaking down our massive work load: we use the Monthly Goals to figure out the big picture, and the Monthly Plan pages to slice it all up into bite-sized, manageable chunks—hello, hierarchical task management!
Then, the Weekly Planning pages become our trusty companion for detailing every single day, making sure we don't miss a thing.
And here’s our favorite trick (the super practical part!): We're turning the entire grid section into our ultimate Tracker Page! It's perfect for keeping a simple, clear record of our diet, gym sessions, and sleep quality, whether we track them monthly or weekly.
With the final pages reserved for our satisfying year-end summary, this little notebook is truly the MVP of our 2026!
No.2 The Therapy Pillar: Original 2026 Beautiful Life B6 Illustrated Planner (Life/Mood)
This Original 2026 Beautiful Life B6 Illustrated Planner is the same design as the one we released this year - the 2025 planner. We loved it so much & we're bringing it back! This is our Daily Life and Emotional Recording Center.
- Its Purpose: To record daily fun facts, emotions, gossip, and all the little things we want to vent about. It’s our ultimate emotional outlet!
Why should planning be boring? Your life is colorful, and your system should be too!
This planner is original designed carefully. Every month in this journal feels like a cozy new adventure, thanks to the adorable, fresh theme—it’s totally therapeutic!
Our absolute favorite feature is the Eight-Grid Section right after each month. This is our dedicated space to just scribble down all the sweet little moments: funny things that happened, that delicious dinner we had, or just our current mood.
One grid per day! It’s such an easy, almost effortless way to write and process emotions. Knowing we will fill this entire book by the end of the year gives us the biggest sense of accomplishment. Trust us, this isn't just a journal; it's our little angel of healing.
No.3 The Knowledge Pillar: Cat Daily Planner (Reading/Film)
New year, new knowledge! This Cat Daily Planner has been selected as our Reading and Viewing Record Keeper.
- Its Purpose: To deepen our reading and viewing experience and produce high-quality notes and reflections.
Ready to level up your content game with this journal?
We're using the Weekly Planning pages right up front to map out our reading or viewing schedule—think of it as our content calendar, locking in what we will read or watch and exactly when. On the Daily Planning pages, We simply title the top with the date and the book or movie we're diving into.
Here’s the hack: We completely ignore the timeline section below and treat that space as a massive, dedicated excerpt area for notes! Then, the grid section on the right is our secret weapon; it's perfectly sized for capturing deep reflections, quotable lines, and instant thoughts on everything from movies to podcasts.
Seriously, our knowledge retention rate has shot through the roof thanks to this setup. If you want to truly absorb your content, you absolutely need to try this!
No.4 The Dream Pillar: TN Subscription Book (Travel/Collage)
This TN (Traveler's Notebook) Subscription Book is planned to become our Dedicated Travel Journal!
- Its Purpose: To record all our travel experiences, primarily through collage and writing.
If you're looking for the ultimate travel companion, stop LOOKING!
The TN size of this notebook is absolutely perfect for creating on-the-go collages.
It’s compact enough to slip into any bag, yet it offers tons of space for capturing those handwritten notes and sticking in all your little treasures, like ticket stubs and cute mementos. It just feels so high-quality and premium to carry around—it’s never a burden! Honestly, we're already counting down the days until our next trip, just so we can use this journal to beautifully preserve every single wonderful memory. It's the sweetest way to keep your adventures alive!
To complete our 2026 system and add that crucial flexibility, we’ve included two key ring-binders!
The Tiny Powerhouse: M5 Ring-Binder
The M5 size is perfect for a portable mini-clip notebook, and this one's exterior is super cute!
The best part? We can stash all our essential supplies, like cute stickers and little scraps, right in the front and back pockets.
This is our dedicated space for on-the-go inspiration: anytime, anywhere, we can quickly snag those brilliant flashes of ideas before they disappear!
Plus, when we're traveling, it pulls double duty as our temporary scratchpad for notes and plans before we transfer them neatly to our main TN journal. Customization is totally key here—we love that we can refresh it with our favorite refill pages, making it 100% tailored to exactly what we need right now!
The Passion Project: A6 Sewing Ring-Binder
This A6 ring-binder is our hobby book that we started this year, focusing on all things handcrafted. We definitely plan to keep using it in 2026!
If you need a dedicated spot for pure creative fun, this notebook is the one! We’ve completely stuffed our current one full of all our favorite craft-related content and ideas, and next year, we're totally diving back in!
We plan to use it specifically for jotting down detailed tutorials and diagrams for all the exciting new handicrafts we want to try out. But it's not just for crafts! We're also dedicating space for K-pop/fan collages, aesthetic lyric excerpts, or anything that brings us joy—it’s our ultimate accumulation spot for fun things!
Seriously, it feels like the perfect, low-pressure creative escape, and we know filling it up is going to be incredibly satisfying!
We hope this share of our 2026 planner system can give you some inspiration and ideas for your own planning!
✍️ Let’s use our planners to welcome a sparkling new year! ✨
