While we love a good scroll through a review section both for entertainment and should-I-buy details, we also know the absolute best recommendations for clothing, TV shows, desserts, books, and the like usually come from friends.

So we’re introducing a new column this year which is, simply, Our Favorite Things. We’ll switch the focus monthly; the idea is to scroll through a few of the favorites we’ve gathered from the AMR Team, and then add your own in the comments below.

While we adults might not need sharpened #2s anymore, we definitely need a way to keep track of our days: the personal stuff, the kid stuff, the work stuff, the house stuff. (And, TBH, we also need a reason to browse the journal aisles of local stores regularly.)

In honor of back to school season, we’re sharing some of our favorite day planners and apps. Because we don’t want to miss a thing, especially a workout.

Google Calendar
Back in the 1990s and 2000s, I swore by a Franklin Planner, but I’ve been digital for as long as I can remember. It’s key that Google Cal desktop + phone synch, plus it has the ability to email reminders. Crucial!

I love how well this planner is laid out. I’ve been using one since 2018.
