What are we all doing in the New Year?
I love my Happy Planner, and have used it for 3 years but I’ve been thinking of trying the Passion Planner this year. Anyone have experience? Love it? Hate it? I love the size of the Happy Planner but it’s sometimes inconvenient to bring with me for Doctor’s appointments, dentist appointments, etc. especially when decorated!

My Happy Planner is good through 2019 so I will live vicariously through everyone else.

Mine rides in the car with me unless I want to play it in during waiting time and then I bring a tote and not a small purse.

I have a ring planner that I use but I switch out the inserts from time to time.
I need to find a planner for work though. It needs to be no bigger than A5 size as I travel a lot. Plum Paper? Mini Happy Planner? I’m not sure if EC has a smaller version? Is there something I’m not running of?

I got a smaller plum paper for Home use (I got the 7x9 instead of 8x11 this year).
I still need to figure out my work planner and our budget planner. I love bullet journaling but I constantly feel like I don’t have time to devote to it.

I am doing another happy planner classic size. I had debated a mini but I think I prefer the classic.

I love bullet journaling but I constantly feel like I don’t have time to devote to it. Iḿ going back to my bujo this year. I love it and it does help me. I had the same problem though re:not making time to devote to it. I have decided to intentionally set aside time every Friday at 7:00 to do a brain dump/meal plan and then sunday at 7:00 to plan my week. I need to make time for myself. I want to go into the week less stressed and I think that I have finally gotten it through my head that I need to make my positive habits a priority or they just won´t happen. I will also be enjoying a dirty vodka martini during those times.

It doesn't require me to organize my chaos before puttin it down on paper...I feel like it lets me go through my weird circular process. I tried a traditional planner this year and somehow the preset structure really overwhelmed me. I can't explain it.

I'm sticking with my classic Happy Planner. I wish I had better computer skills because what I really need is the large monthly spread, but in a half a month at a time format. I don't really need the weekly spreads. I could make notes bullet style on a seperate sheet.

I purchased a Plum Paper planner for work. I had planned on staying with my ring planner but now I’m going down a Hobonichi hole and contemplating trying that along with a couple of smaller books.
I think I like to switch a lot. I did use the ring planner for this past year so maybe it’s good for a change?

My sister got me the mom themed Happy Planner for Christmas. I really like the layout inside. It's sort of half bullet journal and half traditional Planner.
I will probably cover up some of the basic Becky mom phrases in it with stickers, but I like the overall color scheme and themeing.

Hi! Can I join in? I'm looking for a new planner, I have had Day Designers for the past 3 years but want to look into new options. It looks like a lot of people like the Happy Planner?
Also, I am definitely ordering erasable gel pens.

Also, I am definitely ordering erasable gel pens. HP and EC are very similar. For me, it's the price point of the HP and the being able to remove and add things.

I'm using a Franklin Planner 2-page-per-day in Compact size, Blooms design. I love the ability to add pages and not have to re-write everything each year. And I really like the organized pages with a long task list, a long appointment schedule (I need at least 7a-9p) and the blank, lined page for daily notes.
Each October, I look at the Erin Condren & Plum Paper planners, but I still go back to the functionality of my Franklin Planner.
I use pencil in my planner, but this year, my husband found me mechanical pencils with .07 colored lead! I am so excited about them. I have pink, dark blue, light blue, purple and green leads, as well as the standard grey in my regular mechanical pencils.
