I love the concept of this planner
I love the concept of this planner, and my issues are picky, but enough that I am uncertain if I will buy it again.Pros:+ Size + Organized + Focused + Minimalist + Undated, can start wheneverCons: - I really dislike the huge branding on the front. It's far to big. - I dislike the band on the corner. It looks odd and doesn't do much. Either make it a full band or leave it off. - The biggest con is the monthly page, although undated, starts on a Sunday. The weekly pages, also undated start on a Monday. I fill out the monthly with appointments and then use the weekly. But frustrating because the weeks are don't match up. - Weekly Layout is okay. Not great. Not much room to write.I think it's a great concept. Not sure it was fully thought out. The weeks not starting on the same day seems like a big mistake.

Needs a quality update to be durable enough
Update June 2018: Binding broke today. Only used at home and didn't travel with it due to I knew it wouldn't hold up to that much movement. Only lasted me 7 months of the year before it broke. Won't purchase again if it can't be strong enough to travel with and last an entire year.- - - - -I purchased this planner in November and have used it for the month of December now. If you like lists, you will like this planner. I have used white out to personalize the sections to fit my particular areas of my life and goals etc. I would recommend to the makers to not only have an undated version, but a version that leaves the section names blank so that you can fit it to your personal needs.I spent nearly a month researching different planners and trying to find the best option for me. One of the reasons I picked this planner was that I don't need the hours listed for each day like most planners do. I work all day, so it is a lot of wasted space. I also had been using planners like Erin Condren/Plum Paper and was tired of how huge they are and not something I could easily take with me.My initial reaction upon receipt of the planner was that it was damaged & I would need to return it. However, as I inspected the planner, I came to find out that the cover is some kind of plush, soft, squishy material that would be impossible to not be damaged. I have included pics showing how the elastic band had indented the cover before I even had received it. I believe either when the plastic wrapping was put on the product or maybe the weight of stacking the planners caused the indent before I received it. Also, the elastic band is secured on the back of the cover, and there are visible bumps on the inside of the cover where you can tell where it was secured.Ig you are looking for durability and considering carrying it around with you everywhere, I would think twice. I have accidentally scratched it with my fingernail and damaged it further. And I didn't catch my cat fast enough and she laid on it and now there are little puncture holes from her claws. For work I use the Action Day Planner and this planner's cover doesn't compare to the durability of the Action Day Planner. I am constantly being super careful where I set it and how I carry it around so as not to damage it any further. I need the planner to last the entire year.As for the binding, so far so good. There are some spots that concern me that it may not hold up the entire year. The paper is not typical planner paper. It somehow feels soft itself. And I was instantly concerned. However, I was relieved that I am able to use my Staedtler pens with it and it doesn't bleed or smear. Also in areas on the paper that are grey in color. If I write in pencil and then erase, the grey coloring remains on the page and doesn't erase off or smear. The planner also came with 3 super thin ribbons that were all bunched up & curled weirdly and not lying flat when I received it. Personally, I think the ribbons are too little to be of much use. So far I've used my own way to bookmark instead of the ribbons, so I'm considering cutting them off.Finally, please keep in mind that the planner has absolutely no tabs or other sectioning to easily find the other months. I initially thought I would add my own month tabs; however that is hard to do as the paper goes almost to the edge of the cover. So you would have tabs sticking out that you would have to be careful not to damage or knock off. If the cover was a little bigger than the paper, the makers or myself could have created something to separate the months and make it easy to find and plan ahead. I tried using magnetic clips for the different months but that made the planner fatter at the top. Then I had to be careful to not set something on top of it and ruin the binding.I paid $29.99 for the product. I would say that is a little too high for the current quality of the product. Not everyone can be as cautious as I am being just to make sure the product lasts, and sometimes I even get annoyed at having to be so careful. The idea is great, and I like lists. To get a 5 star, I would need better cover and doing something to differentiate the months so one can easily flip thru and do some planning ahead.

Optimistic about this attractive planner
Just getting started using this, but I've tried a bunch of planners and this is the best. Others were too complicated or too big. I don’t really need a “time” organizer; I need a ‘task” organizer. I can manage my time, if I can just keep my eye on the ball. I have a tendency to get distracted, so much to do and so little time. I would get side-tracked by crises and then remember “oh yeah, I meant to do this too.” This little book looks like black leather so it looks nice. It helps by getting you to write down your goals. It doesn’t bother you with rating yourself or asking how you feel about what you did. Who cares how I feel, did I make any progress toward the goal?

Great product! I'm a list person
Great product! I'm a list person, but admittedly my lists get overwhelming, and out of sight, out of mind. This planner incorporates several layers of list making that allow you to "purge" all of your life goals in one section and break them out into small, manageable segments in the month/week sections to make them attainable, without being overwhelming. Because the months are undated, you can begin anytime, which is good for the wallet - no wasted months. I also love the gratefulness section everyday. So important for living a balanced life. Highly recommend!

Best tool for real goal planning & execution
I really like this little planner and already have the goals filled in--goals, mind you--not resolutions. It's nice to finally have a definitive action plan written down and broken down into workable parts. There is a little bit of redundancy between writing in goals on the "map," then writing them on the 1-3-5 year list, writing them again on the annual planner, and then yet again on the monthly. However, I can see how that might be fruitful for some, so I just use what works for me. As the year progresses, I'm certain I will be fully familiar with how it works and probably the repetition will make sense. The size is perfect to fit in my handbag so I can schedule appointments and keep track of them without having to rely on my phone (which is helpful when I'm ON the phone). Because my daily to-do list is long and largely recurring from month to month, I will continue to use my app of choice to check these items off and use my my Ignited Life Planner to provide the roadmap for reaching my goals over the next 1-5 years. I think I'll order several more for future years since they are undated. Wish they came in different colors!
