Mid Year Academic Planner July 2016 - June 2017. Let's do this Black with Polka Dot Design, Gold Details. Daily - Monthly 6 X 8 Planner. Agenda.

I ordered this last year and thought I'd wait to write a review since is a planner you have to give it time and see if it actually worked well as everyone else apparently felt I was extremely excited when I first received this I thought it would be an amazing helpful tool this last year while I was making some Life Changes unfortunately the journal didn't hold up to my expectations the journal was actually pretty boring there wasn't anything very uplifting or motivational about it every page with the same and the cover was actually starting to lose it's pizzazz after the first couple of months(the planner never left my house and rarely my desk top) the gold was starting to tarnished and turn silver but cover is all scratched because it doesn't have a glossy finish to it and quite honestly I didn't even use this journal very much because it wasn't what I was expecting and more often than not forgot i even had it because it was so dull especially for the price i feel cheated, this next year I am going to be looking at a different company to fufill my organizational obsession but for those that have an extra 20-plus to spend and feel like this journal would be helpful for them and then I would recommend giving it a shot but for someone like me that is trying to watch their spending and really have something that will keep their attention/interest while motivating them to stay organized I would suggest finding something else

I so wanted to love this planner! In recently completing a degree, I found I needed the perspective of a month-at-a-glance calendar. After that intense year, I can't return to an electronic calendar. I loved the way some of the features of this calendar sounded such as having weekly goals and monthly analysis. However, as a working woman, happy wife and mother to one busy, middle-schooler, I found that the daily features of this planner quickly overshadowed the key features making it not very functional for my life. I don't write in petite print, which I needed to, in order to fit all major events on to the monthly calendar. The 'week at a glance' has 5 un-timed daily lines for scheduled events and 5 'check-box' lines for your 'to-do' list. For my life, even when I wrote very small and overlapped events, this planner was difficult to use. I quickly scrapped the idea of a daily 'to-do' list and instead had a weekly 'to-do' list and used each day for a different category (calls, errands, email/computer, etc.) This was more effective than a 5 per day 'to-do' list, and yet I still found myself a frequent user of Post-it Notes to augment my calendar or list. As for the monthly calendar, each month looks like a disaster with too much written on too many days. I even missed an important event because I had boxed it in the margin and linked it to a filled day - and then I missed it. If you are single...if you write small...if your to-do lists each day typically are 5 items or less, this planner could probably work for you. If you are busy, if you are a parent, if you keep part or all of your spouse's calendar on your calendar, if you're a consummate list-maker, you may want to consider a more robust calendar.In July of 2016, I wasn't sure I could take using this calendar anymore when a cousin on Facebook 'liked' a new planner - The Living Well Planner. I took a look, held my breath and purchased it. I had to wait until the end of August to receive it, but I absolutely LOVE the new planner. It is larger and it's not quite as convenient to carry, but that's an easy trade-off for me in having everything in one space. The days are timed from 6am to 10pm, the monthly calendar is larger with more room and there are many more goal setting features in this calendar with videos that coach you on ideas for how to best use the features (optional - but I found many of them helpful.). Good luck with whatever planner you choose!

I'm loving this planner so far! My biggest complaint with every planner I've had is that there just isn't enough space to note everything, but I don't have this issue at all. There's a full page for every day, including Saturday and Sunday, plus a spot to write down a little gratitude for the day. We could all stand to be a little more grateful, and I can't wait to look back at my gratitude notes after the year is up. Plus, it's totally cute to boot! I did take off a star because the cover of my planner was scuffed up a bit... Not a big enough issue to bother returning it, but slightly annoying since this is kind of a pricy item.

Amazing Planner! Truly everything I was expecting and more! I bought one for myself and 3 more for my friends. Great for daily planning from 6am to 11pm, space for notes, gratitude, and daily goals. At the end of the month you have an evaluation sheet of accomplishments each week have, goals reached, goals changed, goals for the following month, and note to self. Also includes monthly planning sheets. The beginning of the planner has lots of preplanning pages and activities! Awesome, awesome, awesome planner!

It's been an AMAZING asset to have this wonderful agenda. I am no longer in school but use it for my everyday life now and I have never been more on track! I....just...love it! It goes with me everywhere and I couldn't be without it. I can't wait for the 2017 addition, assuming there will be one. It came in a clear package, no bends in the hard cover or markings on any of the pages (that seemed to be an issue at one point for others). It had no strange smells or odors (again, another issue I noted in past reviews). It came very promptly and I really couldn't be happier.

A great surprise! The planner is beautifully made and well put together! I use this planner more than my Erin Condren! I'm new to the glam planner game, and I love the fact that it is bound! My favorite part is the note to self! The only thing I would tell her to do for next year is to make the note to self as long as the one at the beginning! I say well done, and can't wait to see 2017!

Great layout and functionality. I would have wished the pages be a bit thicker/stronger and the front and back be a sturdier material. Mainly because I'm very busy and need to carry it everywhere with me. I did however love the design, I find it difficult to find pretty planners that are useful and can endure a whole year of craziness. I'm only halfway through but it's still in pretty good condition. Overall it's a pretty good buy and the price is reasonable.
