Orange Circle Studio 2019 Extra Large Spiral Planner, August 2018 - December 2019, Elephant Baby and Mama

Just got my new planner even though it starts in Aug. quality seems good, I like the thick cover and spiral bind BUT the monthly pages are separate from the weekly pages. August 2018-December 2019 monthly spreads are first and then it starts over at August 2018 with 2 page weekly spreads. Doesn’t really make sense laid out this way. It’s a lot of flipping back and forth. Kinda bummed because I love the simplicity of the design and the aesthetics of the planner.

Year after year these are my go to planners! So in love with all the pages. Super cute design! I don't mind the monthly pages first with the daily pages following. I tend to use my monthly calendars mostly for planning and then sometimes use the daily pages for to do lists so keeping them separate really doesn't bother me. Extra pages for budget tracking, bucket list, and stickers are all just great bonuses for me! Also includes list of 2019 holidays, 2018/2019/2020 yearly calendars at a glance, rate your year, to do list, not to do list, and 5 pages of blank graph paper (has the boxes on it). The only downside to this particular planner for me is that the larger rings sometimes make it harder to get closed.

Disappointed. Got my planner from this brand last summer and the spirals were much thinner holding the book together. This year's spirals binding the planner together are wide and rip the pages and cover because they're not continuous. Very hard to open and close. The planner pages and design itself are perfect but the spirals are already ripping and losing shape after a week.

I found this planner at the end of last year for 2018 and instantly fell in love with it. I have never found a planner that I actually fully enjoyed and interacted with this much. I love how simple it is with the monthly view as well as the weekly layout in the back. I also liked how it has the budget tracker and rate your year sections in the back, but what really got me was the monthly goal page following each months monthly view page. I found that to be extremely helpful and helped keep me organized and achieve small goals that I have been meaning to get around to. However, I was extremely disappointed when I received my 2019 planner and I see that the company has removed the monthly goals section. I think I will be returning this one because of that and start to look at other planners for 2019.

I've been searching for the perfect planner for 2019 and I decided to take a shot at this one. I had seen a couple of reviews where the product was defected in some way so I was not very surprised when I pulled it out of the box and saw the two inch indention in the notebook. The colors aren't as vibrant and not the iridescent effect I was hoping for, but that is okay! There are NOT dividers for each individual month as I had seen in other planners for half the price, but I will put some in anyway as the pages stick together easily. Now, I know I'm being nitpicky and still intend to keep and use the planner, but these little details are to be noted for future buyers.

I had loved the Orange Circle brand over the years but as can happen corners were cut turning a high quality product into just another average planner/calendar. It previously had a very nice heavy weight paper but now when you write on it you can see it from the opposite side w bleed through. The spiral was excellent but now it catches the pages no longer a smooth turn. It used to include some additional pages for goal setting and self-reflection that they removed making it less planner more calendar. I still love the funky full color artist designed covers but all the other reasons I loved this brand are gone. The funny part is that now I pay 2x the price for a higher quality planner brand as do a couple of friends showing that consumers are willing to pay for quality. So this is a better than average larger format planner for the cover and the pretty page design but now overpriced for the quality. I even contacted the company to ask about these changes in hopes the 2020 would bring back the good stuff of the past but they said nope, the good old days are gone for good.

I have the 2018 version of this planner, and was excited to see the 2019 being offered. The spiral rings are larger, and feel a little more flimsy. The stickers are different in the back are different. It still has a day to day rating in the back, as well as to do lists, and bucket lists. I was disappointed that they took out the day to day goal trackers for each month.

I love Orange Studio extra large planners. I have a couple of complaints with this year's issue. The paper is recycled vs the one from last year, 2017, that I think it was not recycled because it was not indicated in the agenda. 2017 was made in Korea and the papar quality was very nice! Not sure where this years was made, but the paper is thin and the ink is not as bright. When you write on it, you can see the ink through on the back page, so do not use markets or heavy ink pens. Another thing that I am very dissapointed on this years planner is that it does not have the Goal Tracker 2 page section after each month. 2017 had it where you could track your daily goals, what was a complete success, thigs your grateful for, needs improvement, etc. I hope that they take this into account f or 2020 planner! But overall a pretty planner and it has enough space to write in the boxes, notes, and better than other planners that are this size.

So nice

Es mas grande de lo que pense, es como una libreta profesional, me encanta la distribución de la semana y es semana por hoja, lo cual te da para dos semanas a vista, me encanta si no tienes muchas cosas que agendar o solo resumes en actividades puntuales, es suficiente.

It is spiral bound, and each page, both sides, is one full month. There are spaces to the side to keep notes. The squares are big, and more than adequate for day to day appointments, things to do, bills to pay, etc. Good strong paper, and a heavy cardboard front and back. Not to mention I love donkey's. It's just perfect.

The best calendar I’ve ever had. Lots of room to write. Good size paper & good quality too

El cuardo esta grande, tienen espacios grandes para poder escribir. No es como un planeador mensual y semanal.La calidad y resistencia adecuada, de colores muy brillantes y llamativos
