Features of the Life Organized Planner

  • Size: 9.75″ high x 7.75″ wide (there’s also an A5 size with a hardcover)
  • Laminated cover
  • Format: Weekly, vertical
  • Weekly spread starts on:
  • 2 Page monthly calendar
  • Monthly calendar starts on:
  • Colourful
  • Extras: Some stickers included
  • Wire binding

Let’s take a closer look!

The Cover

The cover is sturdy laminate and comes in a few different styles, this is my favorite one (it has gold foil! <3)

Containing the usual stuff: name, contact details etc.

I like that there’s a different pattern printed on the inside cover so if you grew bored you could switch it around.

Monthly Planning & Pocket Folder

Dates at a glance claendars for the previous, current and following month with lots of lined notes space.

The dividers are functional and have a pocket folder <3 this feature!

Monthly Calendar

The monthly spread starts on a Sunday.

The sidebar has 3 sections for notes, goals and birthdays.

National holidays (USA) are pre-printed on the page.

Unfortunately the calendar have my number 1 pet hate – days of the months split rather than continuing the dates on the top row i.e. the planner company splits boxes into 2 to create triangles for writing space that are so tiny and awkward to write in there basically pointless 🙁

Each month has a different color / pattern theme so you won’t get bored looking at the same one.

Weekly Spread

The Weekly spread starts on a Monday. Each spread’s colors match the monthly spread and also have national holidays USA printed at the bottom of each day’s column.

The layout of this planner is very similar to the Erin Condren Life Planner with the 3 sections per day.

The sidebar has notes goals and thankful for sections as well as a mini dates at a glance calendar for that month.

This is my favorite weekly spread in the planner <3 those rainbow polka dots!

Tabs

The tabs are long and wide with large font making it easy to find the month you’re looking for. Each tab is a different color (to coordinate with the different monthly spreads)

The back of the tabs don’t have the month printed which I thought was a bit cheapskate of the company!
