FranklinCovey - Classic Compass Two Page Per Day Wire-bound Planner Kit - Jul 2022 - Jun 2023

This review is for the 5.5"x8.5". This is indeed a kit. Each month is a separate spiral notebook - the kind we used to take to school. There are 2 pages, facing each other, for each day. It comes with loose pages which have no binding titled "weekly compass." As well as i can figure, these are to jot weekly goals. The daily pages are lined for writing with necessarily tiny space between each line. For the price point of almost $80 dollars for the 12 spiral notebooks, it would be great if they came with an option to download onto my computer and came in ring binders that pages could be inserted and removed instead of spiral notebooks. I will utilize them. Ordered the Monarch size originally, but returned b/c it came completely unbound and, to find a binder of size to hold the pages was almost impossible

Have used in the past and good tool for scheduling, notes reminders and such

Great idea for spiral bound Franklins…just wish they were in two 6 month binders instead of twelve individual binders

I’ve used Franklin Covey planners for over a decade. Their system works for me since I prefer to write my vision and goals down and check items off as I complete them.Like everything else lately, I noticed a price increase; however, with them, you get what you pay for.I’ve only had one issue over the years, and it’s been with the page finder. That was resolved quickly…And the page finder - in my estimation - is the only “Achilles heel” with their products I’ve used. It snaps in/out of the planner as you move it from place to place; and the little pieces that grip the rings or the wires do break off after a while. My recommendation is to order extra so they will last you through the year.

I like the product purchased. It is meeting my expectations.

I used to use Franklin Covey planners and loved the system. But nowadays I needed something that wasn't bulky and this format is perfect! I never found an electronic format that replaced the ease of use of the good ol' paper FC planner format. Now I have my electronic calendar to set reminders, GPS to where my meetings are, etc...and have a FC planner to jot down notes quickly during meetings.I recently read a study that said writing with your hand activates a different part of your brain than keying in information into a computer...this confirmed what I had felt over the years. Let's my creative side be expressed while sitting in meeting -- and as a graphic design professional that happens often.For anyone not familiar with the FC planner system...it's more than just a "planner". It's worth it to take the time to learn. You want the "page a day" format to really use the system. Basically they have a place for you to rate your tasks into A, B, C categories (A = must be done today, B = should be done today, C = would like to do today). After you assign A, B, C, then you rank all the A's 1, 2, 3,.... then the B's 1, 2, 3,.... Then the C's...Then there's a column for putting the icon for done (check mark), in process (dot), cancelled (X), forwarded to another date (right arrow), delegated (a circle with a checkmark and G next to it).Here's a cool thing!!! If you forward the task, you just put the task on that future date and if there were any notes you took on the extra page you jot that date next to the task on the new date...translation... you don't have to write your notes twice!Would love it if FC would add a couple design choices.Hope this review helps someone make an informed choice.Heidi

Monthly spiral bound planner allows for better organization of calendar planning. Pages aren't pulled out and torn on accident like pages in a ring binder. Using a spiral binder allows for both the more detailed monthly calendar and the annual calendar to be used. Using the Franklin planner for years, I found the Franklin Planner system helps me consider importance and urgency. Using the goals sheet helps to understand what needs to happen to achieve goals.
