Start Where You Are Week-at-a-Glance Diary

This is my absolute favorite planner. This is the third one I've purchased. I love how it's undated because I enjoy writing in the dates myself. There are also several uplifting quotes throughout the journal that just adds to this perfect planner. I 100% recommend you make this purchase!

I accidentally ordered this and it was the most fun purchase I’ve made. The best gratitude journal I’ve ever had!! It’s inspirational, beautiful, & fun. I love it!!

Beautiful cover with swirls of color, gold printing, and that ultra-soft, smooth texture that almost feels like powdered skin. The pages are ivory. The book is bound like a standard paperback, meaning in order to write in it properly/comfortably, you very well might have to flatten it so much that would no longer lie perfectly flat and/or the cover would curl. It would have been nicer as a spiral-bound or something. I was expecting more of a diary/journal, but this is a pretty typical week-at-a-glance calendar that you can start using at anytime because it isn't printed according to any particular year. The first page spread is a year-at-a-glance (12 boxes=12 months). The next page is for important dates/notes with an inspirational quote and colorful artwork on the facing page with a small box labeled "goals." The next section is the bulk of the book: each page spread is a week divided up into 6 rectangles (3 on each page; Sat/Sun combined). There are 5 such page spreads for each month (the name of the month left blank so you can begin at any time). Each day offers about 2.5"x4.5" space to write in with Sat/Sun combined in one space. After every 5 weeks, there is another page spread with an inspirational quote and colorful artwork on the left and room for important dates/notes on the right before the next month of 5 weeks begins. There are, of course, 12 months in all with 5 weeks each. The inspirational quotes include the likes of Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Antoine de Saint Exupery, Thoreau, and Emerson. The book ends with a few pages of info on time zones, conversions for measurements, traditional anniversary gifts, a place to list each month's birthdays and contacts/addresses.I received a free copy from Blogging For Books in exchange for my honest review.

Very pretty, the quotes are bright and uplifting and printed in the popular watercolor and script style. There is plenty of room to write a brief rundown of the day (diary style) or to use it to keep track of work or school assignments. There are also pages with world time zones, measurement conversions, anniverary gifts by year, phoetic alphabet, and roman numerals. There are also pages to list birthdays by month and plenty of pages for contacts. The only complaint I have is that it is "perfect bound" so when it's opened, the binding will crease and eventually break from daily use. It would probably be better off as a spiral bound or even tape bound book. I received this diary from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.

This softcover diary is perfect for busy women, especially for an on-the-go planner. It is undated, so it can be used any year that begins with 20__. With a nice script font and cream colored pages, this customizable planning diary is a joy to use.Gorgeous purse-size planner!I have a hefty planner that I use for lesson planning and family appointments. Start Where You Are is just what I was looking for to use as a blog planner. It has enough room for my editorial calendar and essential information, while still fitting nicely into my tote bag. Start Where You Are makes planning a breeze when inspiration strikes."Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. --Arthur Ashe" The illustrations and quotes are lovely and motivating. As a working mom, I need all the encouragement I can get, and the quotes from people like E. B. White, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Maurice Sendak, and Antoine de Saint Exupery are some of my favorites. Each month includes a pretty full-page illustrated quote with a section to record goals for the month.Features of Start Where You Are include:Year at a glance planning pagesWeekly planning pagesInspiring illustrated quotesMonthly goalsImportant datesMonthly notes sectionBirthdaysContactsHandy charts and conversionsThe publisher provided a review copy of Start Where You Are.

The cover is soft, and the pages are a smooth material that make writing on it with pencil easy and comfortable. Every 5 sets of weekly pages has a couple of pages with an excellent quote written artfully, Goals, Important Dates checklist, and a notes section. You write in the dates of the week for each 2-page weekly view and circle the month. This is my favoirte features becuse I sometimes I skip planning some weeks, so I can use this planner past the caldear year. There is no month view, only a 12-month year veiw with the months printed (no dates, no year). Enjoy!

This agenda is adorable. The cover has a slightly soft texture to it and is the size of a normal small agenda/small notebook. The inside has weekly agenda pages that are undated, with the twelve months along the top left page for you to circle what month you're working in. This makes it perfect to start anytime of the year. Each month is marked by an inspiration quote illustrated by Meera Lee Patel and a summary sheet for you to list important dates and notes for the month ahead. I love the illustrated pages and wished more of them were incorporated into the weekly agenda! Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

It was a wonderful book! I just wish it was bigger!

Hoping my daughter will use this daily, it is a Christmas gift but seems very nice and well done.
