The Cover

Unlike most planner covers, this one is soft and bendy. I’m not sure how well it will hold up over time. They advertise it as a hardcover but it feels like a softcover to me. If there was a true  hardcover option (i.e. chipboard), I’d definitely go with the hardcover.

Approx 2cm thick. It includes an elastic band to keep everything closed.

Index

At the front of the planner is an index, similar to a bullet journal

Then the planner goes into the goal setting / purpose section:

There are a lot of pages in this planner. This planner has the most goal setting pages of the 80+ planners I’ve reviewed to date.

First, it starts with a detailed self-awareness and affirmations section. To be honest, I’m not really into all that stuff and wouldn’t use this part of the planner.

There’s a step by step goals process based on the roadmap at the start of the planner. There are a lot of these pages so I didn’t take photos of all of them (watch the video above ^ if you want all the details).

The planner has this weird fold out thing where you end up with 4 pages open in a row. Because of the stitched binding, you can’t fold the planner back on itself so it’s awkward to use / write in since it takes up so much space. I don’t know why the planner has the flap thing when they could’ve just kept it like normal. It’s made even more confusing to use as there’s planning pages printed on both sides of each foldout page.

Dates at a glance calendar

User Guide

Very detailed with mockup / examples too!

Monthly Calendar

The monthly calendar starts the week on a Sunday (consistent with the weekly spread).

There’s both dated and undated versions of the planner. I opted for the undated, so I don’t need to worry about whether the planner re-starts the numbering on the top row 🙂

Overall the planner has a similar layout to the Passion Planner with planning space up the top and then sections down the bottom for tasks and notes.

I really like this goal section that flows from left to right. Would be even better if the ‘why’ and ‘reward’ stuff was removed.

I think my copy has a printing error. I purchased an undated version but one of the monthly calendars has dates printed on it. 🙁

Weekly Planner

The layout is similar to the Passion Planner and Live Whale Planners. I purchased both the small and large Passion Planner and found the line spacing in the small size was way to close together. This was also the case with the Live Whale Planner (which only comes in small page size). So, having learned my lesson I opted for the large (7″ wide x 10″ high) version of the Law of Attraction Planner.

I’m glad I did. The lines in this larger size (7″ wide x 10″ high) are less than half a cm apart (approx 0.4cm or 0.16″). Way too small to write in for me – I could only fit 2, maybe 3 words in each hour.

Morning, afternoon and evening are grouped together in different shades of grey. Morning = light grey etc.

There are dated and undated versions. I opted for the undated version. I use a different planner or printable each week to suit my needs for that week (that’s my version of planner peace), so the planner being undated is actually preferable for me. At the time of writing this post (in 2018), aademic and calendar year start versions are available.

The hydrate tracker at the bottom of each day is a bit weird to me. It’s in the 10pm timeslot so you if can’t actually plan anything after 9:30, then why print the 10:00?

The built in habit tracker and prioritised to do list are my favorite part of the weekly spread…

However there are a few other design flaws in the weekly spread:

• The line spacing is too close together (not sure if it’s even closer together in the A5 size)
• You can’t plan anything for 10pm as the daily hydrate tracker takes up all the space
• The habit tracker section (where you list your habits) in the weekly spread is too narrow (approx 1′)
• The today’s goal section is too small and I don’t know 365 people whose birthday’s I want to make a note of each day – it’s an unnecessary section

Yearly reflection

Useful and a page more planners should include!

Extras pages

There are dot grid pages at the back of the planner – the dots are very close together though.

The pages are numbered so you can add them to the index at the front (like bullet journaling).

Tabs

There are no tabs in this planner. This is an annoying ‘thing’ with sewn / stitched bound planners – I’m yet to find one that includes tabs.

Pocket Folder

The planner also comes with icon stickers and some gold foil list stickers. They’re a good idea but there aren’t nearly enough of them!

Pen Testing

I tried various ballpoint, gel, fine tip and marker tip pens – there was some ghosting on the back side of the page. I also did some highlighter and stamp swatches. The highlighters also had some ghosting and, as always, the MAMBI stamps bled through the page ?

Pros of the Planner

• 2 sizes available
• Undated and dated options
• 2 built in ribbon bookmarks
• Numbered notes pages with an index (love this feature and wished more planners included it!)
• Plenty of goal setting pages
• Yearly reflection
• Planner stickers – the gold foil is good quality (no black / missing flecks on the foil)
• Built in pocket folder
• Sewn / stitched binding lays flat without having to hold it open with one hand and write with the other

Cons of the Planner

• Large page size is a bit bulky
• The fold out pages are weird and awkward to use – they should have continued with normal paper not the fold out thing
• Pens had bad ghosting
• The dots of the extra pages at the back and notes section in the weekly spread are too close together – it makes the pages busy and distracting to write
• No lined notes pages
• The weekly schedule continues to 10pm but the hydrate tracker is in 10pm (so you can only plan up to 9:30pm)
• No tabs
• I think my copy has a printing error. I purchased an undated version but one of the monthly calendars has dates printed on it.
• I’m not sure about the quality of the planner for long term use – I don’t like the soft bendy material of the cover
• The line spacing is way too small (even in this large size) 0.16″ is not enough space.

Would I use this planner?

This planner has some major design flaws that make the planner impractical. The major ones being:

• The line spacing is too close together (not sure if it’s even closer together in the A5 size)
• You can’t plan anything for 10pm as the daily hydrate tracker takes up all the space
• The dots in the notes sections and pages are too close together, it makes the page busy and it’s distracting to write over the top of
• The habit tracker section (where you list your habits) in the weekly spread is too narrow (approx 1′)
• The today’s goal section is too small and I don’t know 365 people whose birthday’s I want to make a note of each day – it’s an unnecessary section

For the above reasons, combined with the fact that I’m not someone that uses a vertical planner, I would not use this planner.

Vertical hourly planners just don’t work for me – the columns are so narrow I can’t fit anything and the times don’t suit me (I also find them too restricting).

This planner could work for a student, direct sales consultants, if you work from home or a self-employed.
