LUCKYLife Planner: Goal-Setting Agenda and Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly Calendar, by LUCKY Life Tools (Black - Undated)

I honestly NEVER write reviews but I felt compelled to write one for the LuckyLife planner. I am a 100% planner nerd and have tried more planners than I can count and can honestly say that this one is one of the top ones I've purchased. There is SO MUCH goodness in here! It's like they put together everything you need to organize and improve your life in one place.I love the weekly 2 page spread with all the open spaces for you to use how you want, as well as the focus area - I mean this is genius. I'm in love with the weekly reviews, and habit/routine tracker included in EACH weekly spread so you can stay focused on what you're working on improving.The monthly spread is one of my favorite parts. I love that they include both a timeline view and a full calendar view with plenty of space to write (and of course the focus/goals/priorities and life balance elements show up here too).The cover is nice and sturdy and I'm so happy with the spiral bounding - it's sturdy and not one of those that bends or catches pages with every turn. Plus - it comes with a plastic pocket, tabbed months and a ribbon bookmark!The fold out goal list is brilliant! The Life Tools is an unbelievable bonus to an already amazing planner! Plus the extra downloads online just put this planner over the top! I wish I had purchased it earlier in the year but even starting in August, I can already tell this is going to be a game changer for helping me stay on track and move towards my goals. THANK YOU Ilina for creating this masterpiece!!So - as a planner nerd, I'm also a pen nerd so of course I have to comment on the paper. I'm a Hobonichi/Tomoe River Paper fan and while this paper isn't silky it DEFINITELY handles fountain pens well with VERY LITTLE TO NO BLEED THROUGH. I have no idea how they did this but it also handles mildliners highlighters and Tradio pens with no bleed! Yet, the pages are nice and thin (the monthly page is a heavier card stock almost) keeping the book nice and light and portable.I am so happy with this planner and will use this for 2021 as well for sure!

I'm not kidding. It's THE best! I tried many other planners, including the popular Day Designer and the Simplified Planner, and none came close. This is my third year using it exclusively, and it really helps me keep my "brain" all in one place. If they stopped making it, I would order 50 to last me the rest of my life!It's a goal planner plus daily schedule, with lots of black sheets to use as you wish. The yearly, monthly, and weekly layouts are so thorough and easy to use. You can customize and adapt the different sections of them to use it how you like. I love how there is a master to do list area for the week, and then a smaller, less-intimidating to do list section for each individual day! I had never seen that in a planner before. I love just writing down all the things I need to do that week, and then daily sitting down and picking what works for each day. I've never been so organized.I love the fold out goal setting sheet, so it's easy to see what you're working towards during quarterly check-ins. Even the little touches, like how the daily timeline has lines dividing morning, afternoon, and evening, so if I have something I want to do in the morning, but not at a specific time, I can just write it in that general section.I thought the extra Life Tools sheets would be annoying/too much and I would just pull them out, but honestly, they're really useful. I ended up using all of them except two. Having a budget tracker, lists of things borrowed, a helpful decision maker... it's like having a basic life coach built in as well.So yes, it can look a little busy at first, but after you learn how to use it, no other planner will ever compare. If you want a planner that keeps literally everything in one place (to-dos, goals, habit tracker, lists, even a little weekly diary space) then this is for you.

Limited space for writing plans/notes. Pages are a bit congested for my liking. I’ve used Action Day in the past and may switch back. On a positive note: it does have many little features that help define purpose, set goals, and monitor progress. I would highly recommend .5mm pen or smaller.

I'm a planner junkie. I'm super picky when it comes to planners. I've tried a zillion planners in my lifetime. Honestly, I wish someone made one that was customizable, where you could pick the features you want in it lol. But, the Life Planner comes really close to perfect. I wanted a planner that had an annual review feature. So many planners lack this really important feature, so I was glad to see that this one has it. I like the weekly planning pages, they're just what they need to be and not more. So many planners really overdo the daily and weekly pages. What's missing? They have Quarterly Review pages, but no Monthly Review pages, I'd really like to see that. I wish there was a Master Braindump page, although you could probably just do this on one of the blank pages. And finally, there needs to be more bookmark ribbons. There's only one! There are so many sections of this Life Planner that you would reference throughout the month, but you have to dig back through the pages to find them. I'm having to dog-ear the pages that I want to reference quickly, which I don't love. Lastly, there should be Quarterly Planning pages. There is a section to identify 3 goals for the year, but that's hardly efficient. There should be a section to identify 3 main outcome goals for each quarter. Overall, I really like the planner, but I think it's slightly disjointed. Other than that, I'm looking forward to using this planner for 2023 and see how it goes!
