I went with the old standby of the Erin Condren planner. I probably talked about it last year, but I got this one because I know I'll use it. They're functional and STURDY.
Here is the post I did about 2017's planner, if you want to compare some features (some of us take our planners pretty seriously).
If you're looking into trying an EC planner, here's what you can expect...
I went with houndstooth because it just is pretty to me. I don't love florals as much as I want to, but anything with a preppy twist is generally my thing.

I use the calendar spreads for work, to plan out my month. I will (not so) shamefully admit that I have 99% of my lesson plans in my head and I don't even write things down anymore. (It's awful really...I just have piles of things for each day and each week because I've done this for awhile now.) But this calendar allows me see the big picture for my 9-5 life.
This is a new addition this year. I'm assuming it's for goals or things that stand out about each month? There's one at the beginning of each month.
This year, I went with the vertical layout, so as to plan my mornings and evenings (perhaps) more efficiently because I've been just writing down whatever,wherever in the horizontal layout.
Some notes pages at the end...
Dotted bullet-journaling pages as well...
And then coloring...
And a forward look toward 2019...
The stickers are more fun this year.
And a pocket.
They always throw in that perpetual calendar and I honestly have no idea why.
