Maybe a class issue? Erin Condren planner or something else

[AJL]

I don't know which planner to get. I love Erin Condrens ridiculously bright, cheerful, happy planners. They're damn expensive though. Someone pointed me to Plum Paper. It's about half the cost of an ec planner.  I know MM ladies have major EC love, but I'm a scairt of MM.

Also I love paper calendar systems over web-based, so while my iPhone and google calendar is the cheaper option, I can't use washi tape and 16 shades of purple on my week-in-view e-calendar.

So help me out. Make it political. 

What should I dooooOoo!?

I luuuuuurve print planners, so if you're looking for somone to talk you out of purchasing one, I'm not the one to do that

I got an EC planner for 2013, and it was lovely. But for the amount I used it, it still just wasn't worth it for me (and I love paper-based organization and pretty stationary). I found a planner on clearance at Target that was just as functional for $6.

I have a Plum Paper planner and am happy with it.

I got this for $15. I use it almost daily especially with me going back to school.

Same here.  My EC planner is nice, but it's just too much for what I need.  I found a smaller, simpler calendar on bluesky.com

Never bought a planner from Plum Paper, but I have bought thank you notes and they were lovely.

I recently learned I am upper class thanks to MM and I love my EC planner. This year I don't even mess with my google calendar anymore. I keep the EC planner open at work and am able to color code (shut up!) work/my stuff/kid stuff.

I should have ordered more stickers though. Sad state of my life though- I ordered stickers that say:

Dance
Soccer
Cheer
Happy Hour

Guess which stickers have all been used and which I have only used once!

I just bought the PPP.  And because I'm super cheap, I bought the 6 month student planner, but specified blank subjects.  Looks just like the regular planner but half the price.  If I end up really using it I'll but the 12 month next time.

You should get the Xyron sticker maker so you can make your own.  I just bought mine for $15 on Amazon.

Tempting!

I have the PPP. I really like it but it took forever to ship. They do say that in their shop policies but if you are looking for something in the next few weeks, PP will take too long.

[nomad100]

Because I wanted a week at a view with a few specific monthly views, I cobbled together one of my own from free stuff on the internet. And got a cute binder at Target.

Though the EC and PP ones are really cute, they didn't work for what I needed.

[josieposy]

No planners for poor people!

I just got a small one at Target. It's gonna get beat to hell anyway.

This, but it was worth the wait.

I like that I could start it in August and I could have added additional months if I wanted.  I did the family planner which I think is a little more expensive, but it allowed me to have 7 categories printed on each week spread.

There's a 10% code, too.  THRIFTY10 for 10% off your order.

I have this one and love it. I like that it has a month view and then the week view with a page for notes/lists

Dammit now I want a paper planner

[blacksred]

I looooove my blue sky planner

Sent from my SM-N900V using proboards

[msgeeksout]

I have one from personal-planner.com (I did a video review if you are curious - youtu.be/F8KYyb5RWKM). I totally love mine. It's customizable down to the little details.

I do not understand this. Planning on paper? I guess that's the millennial in me. Everything goes on my Google calendar. (You can color code things there, too)

my life is so scheduled and so changing that a paper calendar would shred or not have enough room for scratch outs. Plus I have 27 executives and 164 other managers who need me available to meet with them about all kinds of issues that outlook Exchange calendars are a must for the office and they are synced with my iPhone and tablet with Girl Scout stuff published on shutterfly.

And I am not a millennial. 38 here.

Ps the paper planner thing reminds me of 27 dresses. Wtf do you do if you leave your planner somewhere? It is not synced or backed up to anything!!!

well, as long as we sing Benny and the Jets on top of a bar, I guess that is cool...

I use a Lilly agenda. It's pretty, has stickers and isn't as expensive as the EC ones.

Haha! I take a photo of things and then transfer to the calendar.

I actually just like to disconnect sometimes. I'm in front of a screen alll day, and my work schedule is online. Its mainly for bills and major events/anniversaries. Besides, I need something to keep my handwriting borderline legible.
