Purpose Planner B5 - 6 Month Edition

I have tried, and abandoned, so many planners that require too many modifications to work the way I want them to work. This planner is nearly perfect. The only extra work required is adding in the dates. It has two blank pages between each week for extra writing and a vertical time column to jot appointments for each day on the weekly pages. It includes places to note work related tasks, home related tasks, passion/ project related tasks, meals, habits, and the monthly layout pages are integrated into the weekly pages not placed in a separate section. If this was offered in a dated style, I would buy it, but if that never happens, I will continue to purchase the undated version.

As someone working in education, our days and weeks look quite different from the typical corporate office routine. This planner system helps me establish an academic year cycle, and the week view allows me to organize my time blocks and tasks effectively. I especially value the note pages for each month and week, where I jot down key meeting notes and summaries, I no longer need to carry multiple notebooks. Working with six months at a time turns these into personal journals, which adds a special touch. I’ve even encouraged several colleagues to adopt this planner, and I wish we could purchase the sticker pack to personalize it further instead of using the 12-year planner. THANK YOU! - Keep making great simple products.

I've tried several planners and this is my favorite. I felt torn for a moment about whether to buy it again or another planner that I had tried previously that's similar in holistic balance and larger goal orientation. I ended up buying this one again though because I just love the format so much - the two are similar, but I really appreciate the 'priority actions for the week' section broken into different domains as well as the 2 blank pages before/after each week. For me, it seems to be the ideal amount and organization of free vs structured space. I also really enjoy the quotes sprinkled throughout, as well as the book list, spaces for gratitude and habits, the index/table of contents...i could go on!! The thoughtful scaffolding of this planner has just been exactly what I needed and I'm so grateful it exists and that I found it <3

Over the years I've tried other planners and even designed my own, but the undated 6-month Purpose Planner has won me over. The undated format means you can start whenever you want, not just January or July. Also, you can begin the weeks on whatever day you want. Many of the other planners I liked start the week on Monday, but I prefer a Sunday start. Another appealing aspect is the ample amount of writing space allowed by its large size and blank pages in between the weekly pages. I don't use the extra boxes ("work and career," "friends and networks," "home and admin," "to buy," and "Not to do list") on the weekly pages as labeled, but instead for writing space. The index page in the front is useful, as is the back pocket. The only thing I'd change is the floppy elastic band, which could be stronger. Overall it's still my favorite planner. Thanks, Roterunner!
