When a huge school project is due, maybe it’s not the best idea to rely on your phone to remind you to complete it. Sure, using a traditional pen-to-paper planner might be an adjustment, as most of us are accustomed to clicking and tapping notes into our iPads and smartphones , but we found some of the best student planners — and we have a feeling they’ll transform even the most tech-obsessed into old-school planner devotees. Whether you're a high schooler or college student, there's a lot to keep track of, between homework, tests, game nights, coffee dates, meetings, and goal planning. Use these academic planners to create to-do lists, keep track of important information and contacts, and log monthly, weekly, daily, and even hourly tasks. (Yes, hourly .)

From agendas designed to optimize your academic life to options that keep track of busy extracurricular schedules, these planners will help you start the school year off right — and keep you organized and productive until you turn in your final final exam.
