Product as explained. No complaints on my end.

I love this planner so much! I've spent hundreds of dollars on planners over the years trying to find one that fits my rather chaotic lifestyle (I have 5 kids and run a startup company) and this planner meshes into my life so easily. It allows me to honestly review the time I allocate to different projects and priorities so that I'm making consistent progress on my goals and I love that I have weekly and monthly review exercise built in so that I have an opportunity to course correct regularly. The build quality is fantastic in my opinion. I love holding it and writing in it because the materials are of such a great quality. My wife even asked me for one because of how well put together it is and it's become a great opportunity for us to connect and collaborate on our monthly and weekly schedules and priorities. I can't recommend this planner enough!

This has helped me structure my days better & prioritise the most important tasks for the day. It's also helped me delve a bit more into productivity help tools to better refine how I use this to achieve my goals. There are self help articles on the mind journal site that help me make sense of the how, why & what to do with the planner

I would definitely recommend. It is helping me balance and increase prioritisation of my 9 to 5 job and my triathlon training which I do 6 days a week.

This is a second review having nearly completed 90 days with my planner and as I look back, it’s full of blank pages, random entries and I can’t see or feel its value. Given that I’m a business psychologist and extol the virtues of planning and reflection, I’m surprised as its intentions are sound. However, it’s the expectations of the format which are too intense. There is far too much emphasis on creating daily lists, daily motivators, daily balance, daily priorities etc. It’s totally overwhelming, becomes repetitive and actually detracts from creating balance. For example, I can’t see the need to track daily time on tasks, distractions and self-care. I tried and then it just became too complicated, impractical and stressful, so I gave up. There are much better ways to do this!!

There is also too much input (action/reflection) required on each page and whilst writing by hand is important, there’s insufficient space especially if your hand writing is not small or tidy! On content headings, Less = More really rings true here.

Days are fluid and it’s how you manage your energy so not to become overwhelmed which is important. For me, the planner pushes you to be too regimented and too focused on detail which doesn't always survive contact with daily life. I found it constricting and a mental distraction.

For ROI on investment and personal development, I would recommend the planner covers a year for better vision/goal perspective and not just 90 days. It could also be adjusted with a weekly view as the main focus rather than daily and, create more space for actionable reflection and better tool templates.

I appreciate that others have found the planner a real help which is great. For me though, it is now an expensive jotter and will not be a repeat purchase.

Really helps with prioritising things, gives you clarity and the scheduling aspect let’s you see your month week and day planning.

Got the planner as a gift from my wife after I saw it. Just by looking at it many answers to my questions were responded. The first time is scary because you want to jump into action but this tool will remind you of how important is to take a step back so you have the full picture and you can focus on balancing your energy.

The balance planner has been a great introduction to my daily routine, it helps to make sure at least in my Monday to Friday that I approach the day with intention rather than letting the day slip away feeling like I never had control.

It’s been a great compliment to the Mind Journal, but honestly can use this all on its own. For anyone who feels like they need to add more structure to their day, relearn how to respect your time and therefore yourself more, this planner is a great tool to help with that because when you write down you are far more likely to do those things that you know are good for you.
