This is an amazing planner!
I have tried Inkwell weekly planners (both horizontal and vertical), Happy Planner, Day Designer, a bunch of generic brands, and also Passion Planner.
Here's what I love:
-There are no extra quotes, sections prompting me to note how many glasses of water I drank today, or any nonsense artwork.
-A "week overview" page for each week for me to jot down my goals for the week. All the daily planners I've used don't have this. Other planners just have monthly calendars with daily pages.
-There are THREE ribbons to bookmark certain pages. Other planners that have a ribbon have one ONE.
- Saturday and Sunday aren't lumped together on one page nor does Sat/Sun have 1/2 the page each. I do lots on the weekend. I just hate it when my planner has so little space to plan things out on the weekends. (I almost bought a Simplified Planner, but didn't after I found out both weekly and daily formats both condense Sat & Sun spaces.
-This is a non-coil planner. Day Designer would be a great planner if it didn't have a coil. Coils always get in my way when I write on the page and get bent out of shape throughout the months.
-The weekly review page is becoming more useful than I thought. There is a page after the 7th day each week for a very quick "weekly" review.
-The Daily pages have timeslots to write scheduled appts AND some space for todo's for this day. I appreciate that the todo's are not cut up into sections such as errands, work, etc. But it is a space space of a few lines to jot todo's I'd like to accomplish for the day. I would have stuck with the Passion Planner (it is a weekly format) since its a thinner one, but I hated how I could not write a todo specifically for a particular day that is not a scheduled appt at a given time.
- The one "dotted" blank page at the end of the week allows for any ideas I need to "braindump" on paper can be collected here.
At the end of the week, any todo's I didn't get to for the week, I highlight them and write any into the next/new week, figure out what todo's I need to write down in my "future" list. There are some blank pages at the back of the planner for free-flow ideas you need to write down to capture.
You have to write in days and dates in ths undated planner, but it doesn't take long to do. Being undated allows you to start at anytime of the year. The planner is only for 6 months. I don't mind. Itd it was for a year it would weigh too much and be too bulky. It's already a good thick size. I don't mind since it's for daily pages. I don't feel I need carry around a year worth of daily pages around with me so I'm fine with this.
I really like viewing a fresh page for the day AND being able to jot down and refer back to my weekly page for goal setting.
The only downside I can say it is on the thick side being a "daily" planner. What do you expect? Most daily formats are pretty thick. Just keep that in mind.
So far this is my FAVORITE "daily" planner. I highly, highly recommend!!
