“I find that by mapping out my day I accomplish a lot more and have a sense of control in this chaotic time. I was feeling helpless and unsettled when COVID started and by using the planner my days have a sense of purpose. I’m also quite forgetful and would totally be missing things I mean to do if I don’t use the planner. It is like a super efficient to-do list that helps me feel calm and focused on one thing at a time.”
- Letitia
“The format is perfect for me. The various categories inspire me to fill them out — so I’ve been doing more self-care activities! My work has actually significantly sped up during the pandemic and it’s been so nice to have a flexible planner that keeps up with my days. I have bought many planners in the past and this is the only one I have kept up with all the way into July — most of them get abandoned by March. I like the simplicity of it.”
- Meredith
“My brain tends to compartmentalize everything (it’s exhausting!), so the way the Balance Bound Planner separates daily tasks into Work / Self / Others / Home categories really correlates to the way I think about my day, making it much easier to determine and prioritize what lands on my to-do list. Seeing it all on paper, in a way that matches what's in my head, makes it so much easier for me to GET THINGS DONE!”
- Whitney
“I have my planner next to me every day. I use it for everything. I track activities for my family and home, I make notes on good things that happened, I write what I am happy about or grateful for and even frustrations. My book is filled with everything about my life, I will be able to go back and look at it like a journal. It helps to keep all my thoughts and priorities in check and holds all my goals and accomplishments. I know what I want to do for myself, my health, my family all in one place.”
- Kristy
“I love having the separate sections for work, self, others, and home all in one place. I had tried to keep separate calendars for work and home, both electronic and paper, but always ended up feeling overwhelmed and changing systems or abandoning them altogether. But in the Balance Bound Planner with my roles kept together and finite spaces for tasks, I find myself more focused on what's important /attainable for that day or week while still making time for myself (usually a luxury).”
- Irene
“Writing down things in each section helped me make sure that I was spending enough time on myself and my family. The planner also encouraged me to write down my goals for each month and week which helps keep me accountable for achieving them.”
- Elena
“The better question is, ‘What don’t you love about your BBP?’ And the answer is NOTHING. I love this planner — it provides plenty of room for both scheduling and notes, and the various sections help me coordinate my life as a working mom with multiple activities, gigs, and volunteer roles.”
- Jenn T.
“I specifically chose your planner because of its list format. I have an obsession with lists and I’m so glad to finally have a planner that allows me to write out my days as I would like to instead of conforming to a different planner format.”
- Abby
“My Balance Bound Planner has been the most holistic and intuitive planner I’ve ever used. I love the way it’s organized, but I also love how customizable the spaces are and how much room there is for notes, lists, and reflections. It allows me to efficiently collate all of the different areas of my life and corresponding responsibilities, which I often find difficult to do with planners. I really feel that it anchored me and kept me organized and (somewhat) productive during this quarantine experience when it would have been easy to feel completely unmoored. It is as beautiful to look at as it is functional, and I don’t want to live without it!”
