Smart Planner Pro - Dated Planner July 2021-2022 – Daily Planner - Calendar Planner with Thick Inner Pages, 3 Satin Bookmarks, Pen Loop and Elastic Closure

This is a beautiful book which makes using it a delight. It's made of quality materials -- nice to touch and attractive to look at. I love the Art Deco cover art! The three ribbons makes moving from section to section easy to do. I'm appreciating the places for goal setting for the month and task priorities for the day as well as the space to express gratitude each day. I've got a head start on my new year's resolution to manage my time better and the attractiveness of this book is making doing so a treat.

This is a great planning tool to help keep yourself organized and on task. The book itself is on the smaller side; so, if you write very largely, this may not be adequate enough for you - This applies to the weekly planning section. The monthly planning section has decently sized blocks to write overall goals per day; though, not as in depth as the weekly planning section that allows you to block out 30 minute intervals. The weekly planning also doesn't span a full day's hours (0000 to 2399). I am very pleased with the look and feel of this planner and would recommend to anyone who wants to utilize their time more efficiently.

I was debating between this planner & the Passion Planner (which has been my go-to planner for the past few years). I decided to try something new, got this planner, & have been quite pleased. My review will be a comparison between the aspects of both planners that I have found essential to my daily-weekly-monthly-yearly planning needs. Generally speaking, the Smart Planner Pro suits my daily-weekly planning needs best while Passion Planner suits my monthly-yearly planning needs best for the following reasons.The Smart Planner Pro excels in daily-weekly planning through its daily habit tracker, priorities, & gratitude sections. The built-in daily habit tracker is for 4 habits & can just as easily track 8 habits (even up to 16 if you really wanted to, lol). Passion Planner has the space to create a habit tracker of your own, which is great, but can become tedious to do every week, so I never tracked my habits with my past Passion Planners. The Smart Planner Pro's top 3 Priorities per day (in addition to its weekly to-do list) allows me to look at my to-do list & select which ones I wish to work on each day of the week. I check off these priorities & find fulfillment in a completely finished list each day rather than just seeing my weekly to-do list get crossed off at a slower pace as the week goes on (which was my experience with Passion Planner). And the small daily gratitude section prompts me to practice gratitude at the end of everyday, which I find beneficial towards a positive, abundant mindset (though not absolutely essential to my planning). The (small) CONS (in my opinion), however, of the daily-weekly section of Smart Planner Pro are that the notes section is almost too small, a .07 pen writes too thick for the line height provided, & the evening hours end at 10pm. But these cons do not outweigh the benefits in daily planning.Where the Passion Planner excels over the Smart Planner Pro is in its monthly & yearly planning & reflecting sections (though, mostly the reflecting sections). The monthly pages between both planners are quite similar, allowing me to do essentially the exact same things in both planners. The Smart Planner Pro, however, has no monthly reflecting or yearly planning sections. As someone who journals, I felt that the reflecting sections that I enjoy & would be missing from the Passion Planner, I could just do in my own personal journals OR in the notes section near the end of the Smart Planner Pro. It is the monthly reflecting sections & yearly planning sections that make Passion Planner win for me in the monthly-yearly sections BUT my day-to-day planning needs are most prominent to me when it comes to using a planner, making the Smart Planner Pro win to me overall.Some last comparisons: The Smart Planner Pro has a few features the Passion Planner lacks & vice versa. The Smart Planner Pro has 3 bookmark threads which make it easy to go between the month, weekly, & notes sections. It's the 1st planner I've seen that's done this. With the Passion Planner, I've had to use my own additional bookmarks to go between the month & weekly sections. The Smart Planner Pro also has a single pen holder (which I now use for my main pen - though, I use many pens/markers for my planners generally). A feature the Smart Planner Pro doesn't have that Passion Planner does is weekly quotes. Those quotes were always nice to read, but were nonessential to me compared to the daily habit & priority sections.There you have it! Hope this helps *shrug emoji*

Best layout I have seen to meet my needs. I love the weekly agenda approach while allowing me to track other information. In my previous job I needed a daily journal type planner. I used a high quality, major brand that was of similar size and hardbound for the last 8 years. I like the sturdiness of a hardbound planner. This planner feels solid in your hand without being too thick.I changed jobs and I need to manage a weekly schedule seeing hourly appointment slots. This layout is perfect for me. It is great quality and very giftable. I ended up buying three. One for myself and two for other family members who wanted one after seeing mine.

If you're scattered out like I am this is the book for you it's kept me organized for the past couple months I recommend it to everyone even bought another one for my daughter

I really like it! It has alot of space for a small book. And the stickers and such were a really cool touch. At first i thought it was overpriced but the quality and stuff is unmatched. I shoukd gotten the academic onne instead but i still love what ive got😊😊 10/10 must try again.

I was looking for a change in my planner type and style, and wanted to badly to like this one. It just was too big for me.

I’ve utilized a Smart Planner for the last two years — both the blank months/days (no filled in months, year, or weekdays) and now, the 2021 with pre-filled dates. Smart Planners are perfect for tracking goals, priorities, and day-to-day tasks. For those seeking out a planner, beware if you *cannot* write small! The areas to track tasks, hourly schedule, and even the monthly planner are condensed (the side effect of a compact, all-inclusive planner = you need to write SMALL in order to effectively utilize it!

I really like the lay out of this daily agenda however the space for writing in the details is extremely small.I did see some reviews about it not starting in January. So just be careful on what you order as mine does begin at the January.I feel I’ll grow to love this one.

I purchased this product in Dec as a present and in error did not realise it was a 2022 Planner, easy mistake.Now, I cannot return the item as the recipient started updating/using the Planner....only realising subsequently that it was a 2022 product!!Great product, value for money but why on earth sell a 2022 Daily Planner in Dec 2022!!

Love the design, layout and efficiency of this product. My only criticism is this is much smaller than I anticipated. Great for day to day planning but too small for a work planner like I'd intended to use it for. My own fault for not reading the specs.

Nice cover, great layout.

This planner fits me best and it was well designed for organization. How ever when it arrived a page was like this, and there was two page stick together
