EC planner check-in

[krystee]

It's been about six months since the EC craze began. So are you glad you bought it? Do you use it every day, or has it never been touched?

When I first got it, I couldn't believe I'd spent $60 on the stupid thing. I now love it. I use it like crazy and it keeps me so focused at work. I will buy one every year for the rest of my life.

Do these things ever go on sale?

Love mine! Use it all the time. But next time I'll buy a 12 month instead of 18. The 18 is way too thick.

I love my etsy one!

I use mine daily.

I love mine! I have a lot of due dates at work and I feel much more organized now that I'm using it. Electronic calendars just don't work as well for me, so I love having the paper planner.

What etsy one did you ladies get?

[Kore]

I've been using mine everyday (for a week)!

It's not as life-changing as I'd hoped, but that's my fault. I don't regret getting it.

Not life changing, and not going to rebuy. I really do rely on my phone more, and its a hassle to have everything in three places -google calendar, outlook (work, which my assistant updates and then it gets sent to my phone) and then EC. so EC has been neglected.

What I do like about it is having all the folders and keeping that stuff organized. What I really need is a good lined pretty notebook for my daily lists, with lots of folders.

I got an Etsy one and I definitely like it and use it. I do tend to rely on my giant wall calendar in our kitchen a little bit more though, just because it's easier to glance over and look at. I just like that the planner is portable and I can write things down on the go as needed and know where all of my notes are.

I carry it everywhere but rarely use the calendar function. My favorite part is the folder and zipper bag to hold receipts and coupons. Waste of money for me

Mine is used mainly for budgeting, keeping stamps and checkbook in same place, and keeping track of upcoming birthdays. I don't use the daily calendar as much as I thought for goals and daily to-dos, but it is used every week as we assess things and plan ahead. I currently plan to get another at the end of this year because I do like the layout better than any other I've seen.

I also love mine and use it every day, though not at often lately since I just had a month off for winter break. I work two jobs with wonky hours so it's nice to have them in the same place. I just bought a new purse and was contemplating a smaller one but it didn't fit my planner so it was a no-go

[krystee]

I forgot mine at home today, and it had a whole detailed to-do list for my work day on it.

I use mine regularly still to track work outs, meals, to-do lists, etc. It hasn't been life-changing but it is handy. I just joined a running club that meets 1-3 times a week, DS starts soccer next month and I'm going to training for a triathlon in the late spring/summer, so it's great for keeping all that straight.

I don't know if I'll buy an EC planner again. It's a little loud for my taste. Maybe I'll try one of the etsy ones next time.
