Planner Pad Spiral Bound 3-Tier Funnel Down Organizer, July 1st /Academic Year Start, Black Cover/Black Ink, 6 3/4" x 8 1/2"

I have been using Planner Pads for my main calender for over 6 years now. I might not do the last level of scheduling things in the Appointment line just the way they encourage, but as a homeschooling mama of 4 kids I can keep things relatively in order to keep track of what happened when. Between homeschooling, housekeeping, and appointments, this calender helps keep me sane. I have room to give each kid a top section of the weekly lists to keep track of their weekly assignments and chores, plus 3 other sections to help me keep track of weekly eaning, month cleaning items, and appointments.I also have used Washi tape to give it some color and add some of my personality to it without distracting from getting my work done.Love the free shipping with Amazon now, took only 2 days for my new calender to get here rather than 5-7 days for shipping I had to pay for. Only thing I wish was available was being able to buy the accesseries, like the monthly tabs, on this platform now.

Really upset that I didn't read the small print. This planner doesn't even start till July 2021. I need something NOW and now I have to buy something else.

My stats: college professor, two teenage kids, volunteer in a couple of community groups.I have used this planner for 3+ years and I love it. Many of my tasks need to be done on a particular day (or days) but do not have to be done at a particular time. I use this planner to organize all that. There is room for me to write down my to-do list for each month and then I can sort them into each week. I can divide tasks among categories, figure out what I need to do each day and assign that to the day. I use the dated sections for appointments and time-specific commitments. I like that I can easily look ahead and add things to the monthly calendars, then assign them to the daily calendar when I get to that month.I do not like planners with lots of space for reflection or goal-setting - I tend to do that in my daily journal. This planner is perfect for me.

This is my 4th year of using this planner calendar and I love the funnel down system. The only reason I didn’t give it the top rating is because the company no longer offers the colorful Seasons version which I liked so much better than the plain one. The inside colors were so much more helpful.

Lots of people think that they can run their lives entirely digitally. I've tried, but digital doesn't do ad hoc very well, isn't as portable, and is much slower. Planner pads allow you to plan today, next week, 6 months, or even a couple years and flip between them instantly. Their system of capturing, planning, and prioritizing is the best I've found. Any planner requires a certain commitment, no exception here, but it doesn't mean changing how you work, think, or play. It just helps you plan, prioritize, and complete things.

I've tried so many planners and always return to the Planner Pad. I started using it 20 years ago. With other planners, I always end up having to have an additional place for daily notes, to-do's, and projects. With the Planner Pad, I have everything organized in one book. It's flexible and really helps to keep me on track, when I've had interruptions or distractions. If you work better using a written planner, you'll probably love this. I've used both sizes and been very happy with them. I'm using the executive size now and I like the extra space.

I love the funnel approach of this planner--keeps me organized, meeting my deadlines, and enjoying a sense of accomplishment. I take this with me, and I find it durable and attractive. Looks as good now in May as it did when I first got it last June.

Very helpful planner pad. I’ve been using these for years and love the “funnel down” structure. Categories and lists on top for the week, below that, you can list what you want to get done each day of that week. Below each list for the day there is a timeline where you can list appointments, etc or just list what you did at each time that day as a record or to see how you spend your time so you can improve. There is also a ruled column to the right where you could jot additional notes, phone numbers to call that week, expenses or whatever.Writing it down on this Planner Pad frees up my mind and keeps me organized.
