Mid Year Academic Planner July 2016 - June 2017. Let's do This White and Gold Polka Dot Design. Daily - Monthly 6 X 8 Planner. Agenda.

I'm a planner junkie, an entrepreneur, and I am naturally a scattered person if I don't have a plan.This planner is more than just jotting down appointments or reminders, this is a PLANner for sure.The way your day/week/and month are set up are very productivity oriented. You have a place for your overall plan for the year in the beginning, you have a spot to break down that goal into monthly goals - easier to tackle, and you have sections specifically for tackling weekly and daily goals. All this means you WILL get more done because you're breaking down everything into more and more manageable steps to prevent overwhelm. (I better stop now before I get carried away - I teach productivity to entrepreneurs, this could get wordy)If you are looking to get more accomplished in your day, this is the tool you need.Instead of having a to-do list that is the length of your arm, each day it gives you a spot to prioritize a short to do list. You know, the stuff you know you really really really need to get done. I actually teach this very tactic - breaking down big goals into bite-size action tasks - to entrepreneurs and this is going to be the #1 recommended planner I point to during my courses in the future.Being a planner addict, I am always excited when it gets close to the end of the year. Planning a new year is so much fun. I always end up writing goals in the margins and I'm happy that I won't have to do that anymore. It really is tailored to entrepreneurs.For 2016, I got the black circle pattern. I didn't know if I would like it or not (I almost got gold foil dots) but it is perfect. It matches my desk and I am glad I picked it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will still offer the gold foil dots design next year. Unless they come out with something more amazing, that's the one I'll get for 2017.I noticed that there was only one quote in the planner (it's a good one!) and almost wanted to see more but I think it would have made the planner too cluttered so I'm glad that there was only one quote. I've only just found out that decorating a planner with washi tape, different kinds of stickers and gold clips, is a thing - and it's a thing I'm going to be doing! So in that way, this planner already has a great vibe and feel but there is still room to personalize it and make it yours. (which is just what I wanted!)Next year I won't have to find a different planner - next year, I'll get this one and pick a new design!If I sound like I'm fan-girling, it's because a) I'm a planner junkie (see beginning of this review where I stated that outright) and b) I am SERIOUSLY thrilled at how this is laid out to help entrepreneurs not just succeed, but do it with some killer style. (#BrandCrush)I'm including some photos (I'm going to try to - I've never added photos to a review before) of this on my desk since I purchased it, it wasn't free, I wasn't given anything to do a review or anything like that, just so you can see that I did buy it and just loved it so much I wanted to review it (which I almost never do).Some highlights from the photos (hopefully) -* The check box to-do lists are perfect for my 'Top 3-5 Tasks' to keep me on track each day and for my overall week. If you get 3-5 important things done in your business in a day, you're crushing it. Perfect. #Five Stars* The spot for your info in the front, just because it's pretty.* The 'Ideal Schedule' - I just want to point out that as an entrepreneur with kids, I have a weekly schedule and not a daily. So perhaps all tuesdays are alike but my tuesdays and my fridays are completely different (Music lessons on tuesdays, they have swim practice on fridays, etc) So I was pretty darn pleased to see this in there. It's only in there once, at the start of the planner, but it will help me keep work & family straight. #FiveStars* I love that there is one page where I break down my yearly goals into monthly goals so I can pace myself. LOVE. I'll say it again, LOVE.* And there are a couple of pages at the end of each month where you spell out what worked, what didn't, and what was accomplished, and your thoughts on the month (a review) from a goal setting standpoint.(I see this post is officially long - oops!)* There are also four or five pages that are available as a notes section (more than most planners I've seen) in the back,* the fun events (plus the normal holidays - boring) which would definitely be fun to point out if you have any kind of social media presence or just want to celebrate donuts or coffee some days.* there is only one pocket in the very back of the planner but I like it - it's enough for me. I stuck a little notebook in there to jot down random ideas throughout the year and it's about the size of a very thin moleskin so it's perfect. (the little notebook did NOT come with the planner, just to be clear)last but not least, at the end of the year is a reflections area. I'll try to keep up with this throughout the year but it's where you can jot down things you did, people you met, movies or experiences, that sort of thing. Reflection on the year is something I know a lot of entrepreneurs do so this planner, for me, nailed every single thing I was looking for in a planner.Now all I want is some matching branded washi tape/sticker/clip sets to personalize and I'll be back to get a Goal digger planner every year!(I spend a lot of time taking pictures, these are mine - I included LOTS of photos because, well, that's the best way to see if it's for you! I love looking at other people's review photos of products 'in the wild' so these are my photos of my Goal Digger Planner 'in the wild' aka on my desk)

Laid out in a useful way, and I appreciate the hard cover and sections on laying out plans for the year.I would have LOVED, however, for it to actually mark the holidays (none are marked so I have to write them all in myself) and I would have LOVED for it to include July and August, since ending it in June makes it hard for me to write down our summer plans (which we plan out way in advance, during the school year). For parents with children in school, who are most likely the people buying this (that, or students), we look at the months of summer as the end of our school year, not June.

The BEST PLANNER! I searched high and low for a planner like this one. It has all days and a main calendar of the whole month at the front with pages after that to schedule each day. Each days page has a notes section, a goals sections, a gratitude section (to keep you in check and happy) haha and appointments from 6am-11pm, perfect for work schedules and personal schedules all in one place. It is rather thick, about an 1 1/2", but if you carry a large purse like me that's not a problem! I think it is perfect and very reasonably priced for what you get. I also get compliments on it all the time, it's very well designed!

There is a lot of room for each day to write what you need as well as reflections for the day, week, and month. I think this agenda helps keep a very positive attitude, plus it is super cute! I plan on ordering a new planner from this company every year!

Very good quality, room for alot of detail. Kind of thick, but if you like to organize every aspect of your life and do it with style. And have a little room for creativity. This is your book.

What a lovely planner. Nicely layed out and so pretty and well made. I also follow Susana Cresce on Instagram. Lovely lady, so glad she created these!

I ordered this planner because I liked the motivational sections. I love the design; it's very pretty and simple. The only negative I have is that the book is very bulky due to the daily planning pages. I wish it there were a monthly/weekly version, which would be much thinner.

A little pricey I thought it would be better but it's pretty and easy to follow
