What planner are you using for next year?

[thissimplelife]

I was really shocked that you didn’t get a box ahead of time, because I always love your reviews honestly the most! I didn’t really watch any of the other ones, because I kept looking out for your video! I truly always appreciate your honesty so much! I was very excited when I saw this video posted today! ☺️

I purchased the Evolve 18 month Horizontal LifePlanner with the Gold coil along with the Evolve washi tape and the mini snap in bookmarks. I’m like you with the horizontal layout. I ❤ it! My current planner the Inspire is vertical because I wanted to try something different! And when you said that your horizontal planner is “my brain on paper” I said “She is so like me it’s not even funny!” Enjoy your new planner! Love you ❤❤❤❤

[rebeccamacewen]

I am a lefty so the change will not bother me. I do see what tou mean about the stickers though. I wish EC would make the larger coil an option without having to get the18 month planner.

I’ve been waiting on your review and couldn’t hit “play” fast enough 😅

My comment will be long and I took notes so I don’t miss anything! ☺️

1. I order a calendar year so I dont plan to order my new planner until around mid-September
2. I LOVE your custom cover deign for the 7x9 vertical cover. It’s giving me Lily Pulitzer vibes 🩷🎀. Suggestion: make this design a cover for your journals!!
3. Finally some love for all the horizontal planners! I’m concerned sales for the horizontal are going to go down and EC will stop making them. I hope that’s not the case 🤞

And last great job as always on the review! Can’t wait to see your setup video!

1. I have been searching for the horizontal review and was shocked that not one person chose it and all went with the compact vertical (Was there some kind of extra incentive for people to choose this layout? Unsure)
2. I was shocked that you hadn't gotten a box/had a review. While your channel is not my favourite, I love how thoroughly you review the ECLP horizontal. I usually go with the canvas design as well. Thank you for doing an amazing job on reviewing it. I love how you went page by page. That was so helpful. And I'm not a shop or anything. I appreciate how you reviewed this.
3. I don't mind the dashboard change. It's not something I would have asked for but I'm not fussed. The dashboard side I usually don't write to the edge of the page (it's usually a few words) so the coil being in the way isn't a biggy. While the lined page I tend to write to the end of the page so now it will be easier to write. I don't really use stickers.
4. I love that they kept everything the same. Personally I love the Evolve cover and think it's stunning but I had the same issue last year where I hated all the designs and considered just getting two of the same covers.
5. I am surprised (and yet not surprised?) by the quality control that is at EC at the moment and your box quality.
6. If EC team is reading this: Normally I buy on launch day but due to the lack (i.e: complete absence) of horizontal reviews, I will be waiting until sales later this year. You guys really dropped the ball here.

I purchased the 7x9 compact vertical in Bold Blooms. I think I will really like it.

[dmvrebuild]

I was looking for your review since launch day. Glad to finally see your thoughts. I wasn't going to order a planner this year but ended up purchasing a Horizontal. Now let's see if I actually use it. The Canvas Compact Vertical is nice. I almost want to go back and order that but I'm not. Thanks for sharing!

[michellemiles]

I just got mine yesterday😍😍 Bold Blooms A5 horizontal and I LOVE the color scheme🥰🥰🥰
I also received my order from you and couldn’t be happier thank you so much🥰🥰

[geminishadow]

Shout out to Erin Condren and how they package everything. My new planner was delivered on a day it was raining all day and I was gone. The mail person did NOT put it in a plastic bag so it sat on my porch all day in the rain. When I got home the box was drenched, and soggy. I was able to tear it open because it was so wet. However, since it is packaged so well, in the bubble wrap and tissue paper, my planner was unharmed! Perfectly fine!

Also, I wanted to state, that I went back to the horizontal layout, from the daily duo because I couldn't get stickers I liked for the daily. If you made stickers for the daily duo 7x9 I would switch back to it next year :D

[juliamccall]

Not to leave 2 comments but I love the fact you use it for keeping track of absences. I did not think of that and will start doing that next school year.

Thank you for the review. I love the ECLP, but sadly have outgrown the layout as I prefer more space for notes and lists without utilizing a separate notebook. Also, I really prefer a Monday start on the monthly calendar. Wish ECLP would offer that option. Every year I watch review videos to see if I might be able to use one again, as it still is the best paper and coil on the market. Surprised that the only other reviews have been about the Compact Vertical. I've always liked watching reviews of the different layouts, not the same one over and over. I'm sorry you didn't get a promotional box, but this actually may be to your advantage since your review has been different from the others. It's the only one I've watched in it's entirety. I'm also sorry about the lack of quality control evident in your order. That and the overall poor quality of EC's other products, especially for the high prices charged, is another reason I've stopped ordering from EC. I'm glad the ECLP appears to still be top notch though and worth the price tag. What I did end up buying from EC is a 12-month spiral Budget Book at Barnes & Noble after seeing it on the website. I didn't like the A5 budget notebook, but this 12 month one seems to be more robust in its layout. Agree with you on the cover options this year. Absolutely love your original cover far more than any EC ones available. Also, your comment on the change to the monthly dashboard and having to write on an uneven page due to the sticker bulk on previous pages is very insightful. Maybe with the thicker paper it might not be an issue, unless a sticker is placed in the exact same place on every spread that is. Take care. Happy planning!

Overall, it looks like not as many affiliates got boxes this time. I didn’t see as many YouTube videos as years past.

[amyzimmerman]

Hi, Kristin -- Would you consider doing a video to show us how you did your custom cover? Could it include ideas like how/where you came up with the image and then how you configured it on the EC site, etc? Thanks for this video!

[adrianajones]

I started with horizontal years back when I first found your channel. Switched to the vertical for a change. Now I’m in the hourly. I think I’ll stick with hourly for next year. I like the compact vertical but agree the layout for the days is odd.

[amyduff]

I went with the Bold Blooms 18-month hourly. I usually always go as neutral as I can, so it took me a couple days to decide between Bold Blooms and Canvas. I'm hoping I don't regret my choice! I didn't get any add-on pages, because from what I understood, even with add-on pages, they didn't increase the size of the coil. Even though I tear out the last 6 months, I was afraid that there still wouldn't be enough coiI to handle all the bulk between stickers and memory planning. I totally agree with you the dashboard change The coil is going to definitely going to make it more difficult to write. I hadn't thought about the added bulkiness from the stickers, but you're totally right on that too.

[jennifermaddox]

I ordered mine on Monday and got it two days later on Wednesday. I couldn’t believe I got it that fast. My EC orders usually take a good week or so. I got the Canvas vertical and love it! I loved your bow digital cover! Will that be available in your May shop?

[LkRn]

I’m so glad there’s another horizontal lover! You can’t find many -if any- that do horizontal. ❤ also I’m upset they swapped those pages after the month page. I use those every single month for my bills/autopays and that coil is going to be a nightmare. 😢

[StephPlansInTheOC]

I ordered the Canvas Hourly on launch day, it came quickly. I later added an A5 Agenda Horizontal for work, but I haven’t received it yet. I actually went with the Bold Blooms pattern for that planner, which is unlike me. It kind of grew on me when I saw the LifePlanner sample spread booklet, because I usually prefer neutral everything.

[juliamccall]

I am considering multiple planner for the first time ever (one for work one for home). Also, I never buy colored coils until the multi one last year. I loved it, but they made the multi different this year and I don’t like it as much. Oh well…
