built the perfect planner for 2023: get yours too!

happy lunar new year zestie besties 🍊 as we enter the new year, besides all of the new fits we might be getting — getting a good trusty planner is something that's always really important to me. after setting all of our goals and resolutions at the beginning of the year , a planner helps you keep track of how you're progressing on everything on a monthly, weekly and even daily basis. you can set mini goals, keep an eye out on what's to come and even archive how you're spending time on hindsight to figure out what you should be focusing on next 🧠

but one thing i always struggled with while looking for planners was the layout — many planners come with fixed layouts with prompts that are thoughtful but might not be for me. i personally always need to have pages that allow me to see the macro view, weekly views & set goals (and most importantly, lots of space to take notes!) so finding ana tomy was a huge blessing for me 📚

they have two types of planners (both of which are award winning 👀) — the trio book and the wirebound. wirebound tends to be smaller and works for a shorter period of time; whereas the trio book is essentially made of different booklets that you can mix and match! both types are refillable, so you don't need to worry about running out of space!

i opted for the trio book, which comes with three levels of customisation:

— 01: choose your book cloth design!

✔️ comes in cloth and leather (of course with different pricepoints)

✔️ plain colours, cute designs like gradients & houndstooth and even collaborations with artists! super wide range, definitely something you'll like there

— 02: choose your cover options!

✔️ besides the cover, you get to pick the elastic band that goes around it and the ribbon marker

✔️ again, comes in a huge range of colours with a recommended option based on the book cloth design chosen!

✔️ you can also engrave your name on the cover with a maximum of 10 characters in 4 different colours!

— 03: choose your paper!

✔️ the trio book is made of two A-books (planning focused) and 1 N-book (note-taking focused)

✔️ lots of options with grids, rules and dots based on what you prefer!

✔️ for me, i chose a 12-month undated planner to see the macro view, a task-planner N-Book for weekly planning and a 5mm dotted book for in depth notes!

after choosing all of the options that you want, ana tomy will hand-assemble your planner for you and send it to you within 3-5 working days. the packaging was honestly really well thought out too, where the box that it comes in can also be used to store other things in future! they call it an archive box.

you'll also get a dust bag and a series of care instructions which are super important because ✨ with beauty comes great responsibility ✨ as much as the cloth cover allows for adorable designs, you'll definitely need to keep it safe from stains! mine almost got stained once and i was super stressed about it 🥲

ana tomy also sells other customisable stationery items if you’re into getting a set, including adorable non-matcha socks haha — definitely worth since they ship to singapore for a pretty decent price! this planner (with all its custom stuff) and the shipping came up to about $50 which i’d gladly pay for the productivity it gave me 🥹🫶🏻
