Transcending Waves - Undated Daily Planner, Hourly Habit Tracker to Boost Productivity, Faux Leather Agenda Notebook for Your Goals, Tasks and Schedules, 8.3 x 5.8 Inches, Gray

This planner/journal combination is great for people that struggle with time management and motivation as a result of mental health conditions. It made a big difference for me. It helped me stay focused on my goals, and gave me a chance to reflect at the end of my day/week/month. Despite the time commitment to do the planning and journaling, I found that I was more productive on days when I took the time to work on it. Highly recommend this product!

I have ADHD, and had been researching planners for months to figure out which type would be a good fit for me. I ended up going with this one because it fit the following criteria:1. The layout of every page is visible in the product photos, so I knew exactly what I was getting. I was looking for a planner that gave me a monthly layout, weekly layout, and daily layout, along with some structure for organization and self-reflection.2. The downside to this format is, of course, that it requires a great deal of space, which cuts down the planner time to three months. However, if this is what you are looking for, it is a good buy. Further, the seller actually provides a PDF with the layout template, which I find very generous and above and beyond most planner brands.3. The product has a 100% money back guarantee. I like any product that I can try risk-free.I was impressed with the quality of the planner cover. It is smooth and soft (though it does seem to have collected minor dents after a month of use). I was initially worried that the pages might come out from the binding, but so far I have had no problem with them. I will update if that changes. My ribbon was creased when I received it, but that was a minor issue and I did not contact the company about it.The layout is exactly as shown in the photos provided by the seller, and I think they did a good job of covering the different bases of organization, schedule, habits, gratitude/mindfulness etc. If you have large handwriting, this book probably isn't for you since there is limited space due to all the different sections. I have small handwriting so it works pretty well for me. It also helps that I use the Frixion eraser pens so that I can undo any mistakes.One final minor issue that just recently came to my attention is that the magnetic clasp to close it seems to have become slightly loose and is not closing as easily. On balance, I still decided to give the product 5 stars in spite of any minor defects due to the overall quality, the beneficial practicality of the layout, and the commitment to improvement, customer satisfaction, and customer service the company seems to have (that factor is extremely important to me).Suggestions for improvements: (Mostly subjective)1. Reorganize the sections. Put all the monthly pages, weekly pages, and daily pages together into their own sections, and provide more ribbons for navigation. That way, if you miss a day of planning, the page is not wasted.2. Make the daily and nightly sections 2 pages each to allow for more room, and increase the size of the To Do List.3. Create a larger size version.4. Create a longer version that covers more months OR sell a package option where you can purchase several at once for a discount.5. Additional sections, such as a visionboard, and a designated section for notes (rather than interspersed amongst the other sections).I read so many reviews on Amazon where people unfairly give a product a lower rating due to them simply not reading the product description. So make sure you know what you're getting and that it fits what you are looking for. ;)

I want to love this planner... except. Except as a daily planner it lacks one important element that I feel that a daily planner needs. That at least for me, is necessary to help me well, plan. And to keep to plan. That is a day's schedule or calendar for each day. This planner has a wonderful section for monthly stuff, and for weekly, and for recapping both month and week. And it HAS daily pages, but no calendar or schedule on those pages. Instead it has Goals and Priorities and Things I am Grateful for and Today I will Great Because and Im Excited About and To Do List and Affirmations and Workout and On My Mind, that sort of thing. All are wonderful, and I am using them. But, but, but. I also NEED, and have found that I need, it isn't just that I think I do, a daily calendar. A place to write down that I have this meeting from 9-10:30, in this room, with this person, about this topic, that at noon I am meeting Bob for lunch at Dixies, that at 2 is a planning meeting in whatever conference room. THAT is missing.And I NEED that. There is a Monthly spread, the typical monthly grid. And there is a weekly spread, where there are columns, one for each day, with the times down, so you can write stuff in there. But I need it on the day, as well. It just doesn't work for me to have to keep going back to the weekly view. And that gets too crowded. I need more space than those skinny columns. So, I am leaving off a star, and almost feeling like I should leave off two, but maybe some people will not dislike the absence of the daily schedule piece. I LOVE the other stuff on the days. I love he recaps.I just miss the schedule or calendar on the days. A lot. And so, even before I have quite used up this extremely beautiful planner, and I have not said a word about its beauty, and it IS beautiful. It feels like butter, the leather is so soft. I got the black and tan. But I am going to the Panda undated daily planner, and giving that one a try. It has a lot of the same types of affirmation and such daily sections, but also the daily schedule/calendar that I am missing in this one. It also has more than one ribbon to mark where I am. This one comes with one. I have to find the month and week if I have the ribbon in the day. In the Panda, I can mark the month, the week, AND the day. And quickly find each as they are marked. That is another plus over this one. Sorry, Transcending Waves, I wanted so much to love you, but it just wasn't there for me.

Definitivamente una de las mejores compras. He disfrutado mucho estar ejerciendo e incrementando mi productividad al lado de ese planeador.
