Tools4Wisdom Planner 2015-2016 Calendar - Daily / Weekly Organizer - Monthly / Yearly Goals Planning Book - Progress Journal Notebook , Rainbow Leaves , 8.5 x 11 (NOV 2015 - DEC 2016)

The planner is well-thought-out and well-planned. That said, it weighs a lot. They were out of the smaller size (like a normal sized hardcover book), and this is a college-ruled-notebook size planner. It is also about an inch thick and weighs maybe a pound. I intended to buy a planner to carry around, as I always do with planners -- to classes, to work, to appointments -- it pretty much lives in my purse. This would be much better suited for a stay-at-home parent who organizes and lives their life at home where the planner can stay on a desk. I wish I had known that before I bought such a behemoth of a planner. It is also a little embarrassing if someone were to open it, a stranger for example, looking for the owner of this planner. The front page, which you cannot see in the preview images, says "This Planner Belongs To...[sic]" and then has clip art images of rocks, a meditating clay-sculpture person, and a women missing the top of her head saying "When we put our Mind Where our <3 is...Life comes into Focus". The inside cover is also equally self-help-y and proudly so. It's weird, oddly personal, and I will probably rip the main one out. It's too bad, because the actual planning tools -- goals for the month, top priority for the days, goals for the week, ideas, checkboxes, personal growth/work-related sections -- are perfect.In short, thoughtful planner, but poorly executed. Too heavy, too big, and too indiscreet. I wished for something else. Disappointing. I'll use some of the ideas (week goals, monthly goals, checkboxes, priority), but I'll probably buy a regular planner from the office supply store next time I'm there and just modify that based on what I imagined this planner to be.

This planner is so great. It is a normal notebook size, so if you like a smaller planner this isn't the one for you. I love that this notebook allows you to plan hourly, it really helps me to stay organized. Additionally it includes things to prioritize and for goal keeping. Couldn't ask for a better planner and the price is just a plus!

This is a wonderful motivational tool as well as a daily planner! It is very well thought out and published by a team of individuals who care to help and inspire you on your way to success.This planner is well made with a plastic wipe-off cover. The pages are heavier than most planners. My gel pens, highlighter and roller ball pens do not bleed through. The inside cover has great planning principles that will help motivate me to, "Seize the day." The face page has a place for me to personalize and remind me, "When we put our Mind where our Heart is....Life comes into Focus." I like color so this is a great page to be creative and doodle if you are into that. The next page includes more planning tips, a small Oct - Dec 2015 calendar and the next page Jan-Dec 2016 at a glance and a generous area for notes. The next page breaks down areas of focus from ‘Overall’ to ‘Health’, and from ‘Family and Loved Ones’ to ‘Financing’. The facing pages have a place for me to write in my notes and reflections parallel with the areas of focus, with another section to write 'Actions.' One more page breaks down Where I Am Now, Where Do I want to Be, and How Do I Get There sections.The sturdy divider tabs on this plastic bound planner (It can lay flat or be folded over) start with GOALS followed by 6 pages each with a blank “Goal Mind Map/Notes” page and a facing page entitled, "What GOALS am I trying to accomplish - and why is it important?" with 5 roomy sections underneath for working out my steps to complete those goals. Since this is an 8.5 X 11 full size planner there is ample room on every page. On the back page of the Goals section is a "Monthly Priorities Master List" worksheet.Next is the first tabbed Monthly Planner section. The first page is a worksheet to help name ESSENTIAL GOALS for October/November. The next 2 pages allow full view of October 2015 with a header leading with a section, "What meaningful goals are worth pursuing this month?" followed by the full month at a glance with generous room to write in each day, and a section on the bottom titled, "Notes & Ideas." There's also a column on the right showing the months November 2015 to March 2016...Very handy!I ordered my planner Friday October 15th and received it Monday October 19th. The ad for the cover design I picked said Nov 2015 to Dec 2016. I was eager to get started, but knowing November was only 2 weeks away I planned to start on the goals from now till then. Imagine my delight when I turned to the first calendar page and it started October 19th! Thanks Tools4Wisdom!Each of the week-at-a glance pages are laid out with plenty of room to plan each day of the work week with smaller sections for Saturday and Sunday. The pages also help to prioritize tasks below the hourly sections (Each providing 2 lines which I like very much) and a little section for Ideas at the bottom of the page. There is also is a section to write out my Goals for the Week.I love the reflection page, "Monthly Priorities Master List" sectioned with 'Personal Growth', and 'Work Related' sections to plan Top Priority, High Value, and Notes and Priorities at the end of each monthly section.All in all, this is a highly functional, well thought out, Life Planner/Goal Setter/Daily Organizer in one. It is clean, easy to read, and cleverly laid out. Great for those liking a simplistic, uncluttered design using it only in the utilitarian design as presented, but with plenty of room for doodling, mind-mapping, highlighting, creative minds like mine.I received a beautiful e-mail from the company today. Here is a brief portion of that e-mail:"To further boost your success, I wrote a brief how-to guide below along with a frequently asked questions section.As founder, I genuinely care about your experience. That's why I added an unconditional satisfaction guarantee:In the very rare case that your planner arrived with an assembly glitch or a previous version, please reply and I will personally help to exceed your expectations.Best wishes,LaszloTools4Wisdom, Founder"For me it is nearly perfect as is, however if I was going to ask for anything else at this time, it would be the addition of a pocket folder to temporarily hold receipts and papers, and just a few blank pages for notes.No more to say. A+ 5* I am highly impressed with the company and the planner and looking forward to a successful 2016!I will be back next year for another!I'll post some pictures later.

I love the extensive goal setting sections. The planner is well laid out and there's enough room to write to-dos and calendar entries. My only wish is that there was more room for non-goal-related note taking. There's a small section at the bottom entitled "Ideas" and I've been using that for notes, but I'd like to have a little more room, whether on the weekly pages or in each month's section. Overall, very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others. (Oh, and it fits in my purse...but I have a big purse.)

If you need to look at your weeks all at once, this is great. But if you don't want to write something down in April for July 1st and find that you have to go to the June section because July starts in the later end of the week that June ends for both the monthly and weekly sections, well, turn elsewhere. Maybe when I get to using the planner for the busier purpose that I bought it for then I will find it helpful, but right now when I'm planning months ahead of time it is driving me bonkers.

I've just started using it but so far so good. After doing everything online for a couple years, I like writing it out better because it helps me think through my priorities. I chose this planner bc it has an hourly schedule for each day as well as a place to make a mini list for the day. It has a lot of prompts for thinking through goals too. The only con is the size, but I knew that before I night it and enjoy lots of room to write.

Arrived before estimated delivery time. This is my third year to order this calendar. It improves in quality each year. I like the new cover options, as well as the improved daily organizing section. The previous two years I had to add month tabs, but this time the company included them. Will buy again next year.

While I liked the idea of this planner, it has multiple grammatical errors throughout and looks as if it was typed up and printed from someone's home computer. Not professional. Not recommended.
