Smart Planner Pro – Large 11 x 8.5 inches (A4) – Undated Agenda Daily Planner – Tested & Proven to Achieve Goals & Increase Productivity, Time Management & Happiness with Weekly, Monthly, Gratitude Sections, Back Pocket (Lavender)

General purpose of this book in my experience thus far: It's worked incredibly for my semi-unpredictable yet semi-habitual college life. That alone makes this 5 stars for me. Here's some more details in regard to that: Pros: + You fill in the months and weeks. That just makes sense to me to utilize everything it gives you. + I believe this planner has a realistic understanding of goals and habits, here's the major things: - 4 detailed goals a month is achievable. - Setting 4 habits to try to keep each day of a week is really nice, then you can change them for the next week too if what you tried to do just wasn't working. My last planner only had one for each day. 4 is more realistic, like a bed time, hard lines for when you start/stop work, stuff to not do that gets you distracted, stuff you're trying to promote daily, etc... - I wan't expecting a week scoring system to be so helpful, but it is, seriously. It allows me to prioritize what's important like habits, working time, and family time with points. - 3 brief top priorities a day is super useful and concise + Has space to write something you're thankful for each day. This is so important to keep your head out of the gutter on a busy schedule. + 3 tassles to mark the month, week, and an extra one, which I use to mark where I am in the back of the book. I record how long I take to do things back there. + 20ish blank pages in the back. Some are lined, some are totally blank. + Ample space for each day in the monthly planning to list out events/meeting/due dates/etc. for each day. + Ample space at the bottom of each week and month to add your own custom way of doing some things. + Sturdy pages and build. + 2 years of calendars in the front so you know where days fall. + Elastic band to hold the book shut and band to hold a pen. Cons: - The todo list is weekly. Usually I have things specific to the day. But there's plenty of space for me to add that to the bottom of each day right now. - The cover material likes to mildly collect oil (from your hands). It's not terrible at all, but not sure what this will be like long-term. Opinions: + Love it's solid and no pandering feel. Black with a neat and subtle compass on the front. There's just a few quotes, some important stuff emotionally like gratitude for each day. Everything else is utility for time management. Yet it doesn't feel like a soul-less business planner. ? Starting the week on Monday is a little wack but I quite like it, because that really does feel like the beginning of the week as we Americans go back to work Monday. ? Condensing the Saturday and Sunday works well for me, but may not for some. - My days start at 8 am, not 6 am, so I rewrite all those numbers. Maybe they should be fill-in's to? Overall: The design of this makes it VERY WORTHY for $30 a year. This better still be around next year when I come back to buy another.

This is the second time I've purchased this planner and in the past I have had a hard time finding one that worked perfectly for me. This one is good quality. I like the hard cover and the fact that it has the elastic to make sure it stays closed when I toss it in a bag. I also appreciate the pen loop so I always have a pen handy when I need to write something down. It held up very well over the last year and I have had no issues beyond one of the bookmark ribbons coming out when I accidentally pulled too hard on it, but I was able to tape it back in place and continue to use it. I can't quite tell if the attachment point has been changed in the new version, but it might be room for minor improvement in the future to sew the ribbons in more securely. The layout is really nice and strikes a perfect balance for me in the inclusion of both half-hour time slots for appointments and space for notes and goal setting and habit tracking. I didn't expect to love the habit tracker section as much as I do, and I have really used that a lot to prioritize my actions for the week and to build healthy habits. The 2020-2021 version has some minor updates, like font and proportions. I do appreciate that it has slightly more room in the habits section now, as previously it could be cramped trying to write everything in there and that is fixed in the new version. I'm not as enthusiastic about the changes to how Saturday and Sunday appointment slots previously were in 1 hour increments from 6am to 9 pm and are now in 2 hour increments from 6am to midnight, but someone else might be really happy with that. Overall, I would highly recommend this planner to anyone looking to strike the balance between having full day columns to schedule appointments and also being able to keep track of priorities and goals and organize the rest of your life.

I absolutely love these planners, they are the only ones I’ll buy! I ordered the black one, and it’s so nice, I use them for school and the moment I get to the end I purchase another. Currently on planner number 3! Highly recommend

Bought this for my boyfriend to try and get a little more organized. It works well for his needs and isn’t overly feminine which I think he wouldn’t be as inclined to use at work, so I appreciate that. It has nice strands for quick reference to each section which helps him, and it’s pretty basic while giving enough room to note things that come up throughout the week. I think it’s a great planner for people who want a little more than a very basic planner but also not needing an organizing planner for your entire life. This would be lacking for my own needs. Really liked the stickers, I put them on for him and used some myself. It is a good value for the price point.

I really dithered over which planner to purchase. I opted for this one because 1. It came in the color that I wanted (red), and 2. The schedules for each day are printed vertically rather than horizontally, which I just prefer. I have never had an undated planner before, but it did not take me too much effort to fill in the months and days ahead of time. Each week has a place where you can list 4 habits that you are trying to make. You can then check off the number that corresponds with that habit under each day, so you can monitor your progress. Each day also has space to write one thing you are grateful for and a place to write your top three priorities for the day. I really like this feature because it gets the day off on a positive note, and I can note the top three things I really want/need to accomplish that day. There is a space at the end of each week for Victories and a place to write down where you can improve. I have only had this planner for a couple of weeks, so time will tell if I find those two spaces useful, but they are likely to be helpful for anyone who likes to reflect on their week. There is a place on the left side of each week to write down notes. There are 12 undated months at the front where you can see your month at a glance. Some people have complained here that they don't like having to flip back to the front to see the full month, but I prefer it since it doesn't interrupt the weekly pages. And anyway, there are three ribbons so that you can mark your place for the month, the week, and flip back to the blank pages if you want to keep notes. There are 10 ruled pages and 10 non-ruled pages. I like to jot down notes and big plans for the year here, so the extra space is appreciated. There is an expandable pocket in the back for loose notes. In all, I am happy with this planner and think I will enjoy using it.

Good product, but the full year calendars at the front are for 2023 and 2024. Not helpful for 2026.

I just got this planner yesterday but I already love it, it’s a great value for the cost. I researched planners heavily because I wanted one with good organizational features but also interactive things that stretched beyond a few lines of “To Do For Today”. Of course this planner has that, as well as an hourly lay out from 6 to 9 each day. It has a box for your top 3 priorities, a place for brainstorming and notes at the bottom of each week, or where you can just get the thoughts out that have been stuck in your head, a clear bolded division between the days of the week which really helps you quickly refer to a date and keep them separate in your mind, plus it has additional lifestyle/mindfulness features which you can find in other much more expensive planners and which i think are the added value: a habit tracker, a place to write what you’re grateful for each day, a week review where you can note victories and ways to improve. Plus each month page has a place to set goals, the pages separating each section are complete with a cool design that you could color in or make your own as well as inspirational quotes, there’s plenty of lined writing pages and blank pages perfect for vision boards or something else, and there’s even a helpful pocket at the back. It’s also undated so you can use it at any point in time and pages are thick and won’t bleed through easily! Well worth your money, I’m extremely happy with mine and hope it will lead to better organization and mindfulness in my life. ***The only negatives that I can see thus far are the limitations on writing space, you have to write fairly small, non smudge proof cover, binding isn’t the best, and the elastic strap closer has already left a dent in the front, but is covered when i keep the strap on. However, I highly recommend in regard to everything it offers.

Awesome planner. Has a month to month section, a weekly section, and a notes/ideas section. Holder for pen, three page savers, and a band to keep it closed. The weekly section has areas to fill in for To Do list, daily gratitudes, important day to day events, and a habit maker list where you can score yourself each day if you completed those habits then a total scoresheet for the week to see how you’ve done. Also has weekly improvement section, notes, and “victories” for the week. I use this so much more now than I ever used my phone calendar. With my phone I wouldn’t always check it or I’d put in a wrong day or time. Plus it wasn’t easy to just go back over what you’ve done day to day, week to week, month to month! I will get a new one of these every year and just use my phone to put in events as a back up reminder or for when my planner isn’t with me. Put the phone away for trying to organize your life! Writing it out and seeing it on paper helps to recall and remember better than a tiny little phone screen! Plus it looks more professional if you’re using it in a interview, meetings, or setting appointments.
