This is mine for January, though of course it’s still looking quite bare: There are some lines for notes on the right-hand side. First, we have a monthly spread, so you can see the whole month at a glance. There are two other kinds of page spreads in the planner. They’re smooth, AND they’re repositionable, so if you don’t get it straight the first time you can try again! Even though each Daily Duo comes with four sheets in the back (coiled in, so you never lose them) I ended up buying two more sticker books, one school-themed one and one that just has nice decorative things, like the gold-foil motivational sticker you can see I’ve pasted on. It turns out that I’m massively in touch with my inner child, because I adore stickers. Now I can just jot them down! I also love Erin Condren stickers. ![]() I LOVE each day’s ‘to do’ checklist, because I always have a ton of tiny tasks I need to do which I end up having to set phone reminders for, otherwise I’ll forget them. I know it’s only the first day of the year, but so far I love everything about my planner. They’re interchangeable though, so once it’s time to use that one I should just be able to switch the covers and always have a personalised planner! The other Daily Duo (for July – December) comes with a non-personalised Layers Colourful cover. I chose the ‘Layers Neutral’ cover, which is a thick piece of laminate featuring a bunch of wavy lines in muted colours, and personalised it with my name. I don’t mind because I’m a student so my weekends are less structured, but you might if you have extra-busy weekends. Saturday and Sunday are the only days which share a page and don’t have timed slots. But my biggest issue was that they only have space for a single hour. I NEED an hourly layout, so I did consider getting an hourly LifePlanner. There are three internal layouts: vertical (so each day has its own column) horizontal (each day has its own rectangle) and hourly (each day has its own column inside which the hours are listed). ![]() You may, of course, have a different view of the situation.ĮC’s signature planner is a coiled LifePlanner, where you can see the entire week on a two-page spread and the whole year is contained within one book. ![]() However, since she isn’t personally involved in the company at all (she’s not the CEO and has no official position) I personally was fine with still making a purchase. ![]() There’s been some negative publicity lately I understand she encouraged a graduation party in defiance of a stay-at-home order by exploiting the BLM movement. If, like me, you’re relatively new to this world, Erin Condren has been a huge name for ages. Why, I thought, should I let myself settle for a ‘nothing massively special’ when a planner is something I use all year and planning is something I love? So I delved deep into the world of planners and decided that, for my first proper planner purchase, I was going to try out the Erin Condren Daily Duo LifePlanner. They aren’t anything massively special – prettier than I normally buy, but still well within a general stationery budget – but that got me thinking. Then one of my friends gave me a Typo diary for Christmas. I like to think that all my friends’ mockery was just a cover for their desperate jealousy…įor my planning needs this year, I was just going to do what I’ve always done: buy something cheap but functional. The 15-minute Collins A4 appointment diary I used this year definitely helped take me to new heights of planning. Since I was maybe fourteen, I’ve relied on a series of diaries with time slots to decide which days I’m going to revise what, and at what time I’m going to do it, etc. I’ve always loved being the kind of person who plans their days out in exacting detail.
