Journals and planners from Target.

You might think that the new year is the best time to start a journal or fire up a brand-new planner, but the autumn back-to-school season is actually prime time to reign in your focus, set intentions, and get organized. Even if you’re not personally returning to your studies, you can take advantage of the studious spirit and start the fall off with fresh goals — and some pretty new paper products to help you achieve them.

Target is one of our favorite resources for stylish stationary, so we proceeded directly to the red-dot retailer to find the best journals and planners for tackling a variety of tasks. Ahead, find 10 of our favorites — including fitness ledgers, books for budgeting, greeting-card organizers, gratitude journals, productivity prompts, and more goods for helping you put pen to paper.
