Erin Condren Life Planner Review

November 29, 2016 by Jessica Leave a Comment

This post contains affiliate links. That means if you click or make a purchase, I make a little cash at no extra cost to you. I’ll probably use it to feed my dog. Thanks for feeding Sadie. (Don’t worry, she gets food regardless)

The Planner I Can't Live Without | Perfect for Type A planner-in-your-bag kind of girls!

I’ll be honest with y’all. I’m a Type A, planner-in-my-bag, have every weekend scheduled for the next four weeks kind of girl. I keep a planner in my bag, google calendar on my phone, and monthly calendar on the side of the fridge. I have a problem, I know. If you’re like me, HI! Welcome. This is a safe place.

If you’re also the kind of girl that is always on the lookout for the perfect planner to fit your lifestyle, HI, I’m that girl too. I’ve looked at them all, but there is one that I keep coming back to time after time. Erin Condren Life Planners. I’m going on my FOURTH one. First of all, how genius is that name? Yes, I would like to plan my life, thank you. Allow me to share with y’all why they’re so FANTASTIC.

Cover

First thing’s first- you want a planner that looks cute. Erin Condren Life Planners have so many customizable options. (Just the word “customizable” alone makes me a happy camper. I want options, people.) You can pick from a big selection of colorful prints and add your name, monogram, a quote, anything!

You can also upload your own photo to the front and back, which I did this last year with our engagement photos. The monogram you see on it here is an added sticker.

The best part of their covers is how durable they are. Corners don’t bend so your pages stay protected when it’s tucked away in your backpack or purse. Even better, the coil doesn’t catch on any and everything in your bag! Even after almost a year, you can see this cover shows minimal wear and tear. You can order separate covers too and switch them out during the year!

Layout

Erin Condren Life Planners have come a long way since my first one. You can now pick from a vertical layout or horizontal layout. I started using Erin Condren planners in college and LOVED the vertical layout. I could write in my classes, what I was doing between classes, what I was doing for lunch, and what meetings I had that evening. Type A, I’m telling y’all.
Each week spread also has a space to the left to write your weekly goals or notes. I use it to write down things that need to be done that week, but don’t necessarily need to be done on a certain day. There’s also a few lines below each day where you can write in your meal planning, workouts, or anything else you’d like!

My last two planners have been the vertical layout, but this year I’m making the jump to horizontal. Now that I’m out of college, I’m working 8-5 Monday through Friday so I don’t need to see my full schedule each day to know where I’ll be.
There’s also a full month spread at the beginning of each month. I use these to keep track of weddings, bills, trips and birthdays. It’s really a helpful feature!

Extra Goodies

My favorite part of Erin Condren Life Planners are the stickers. Yes, I’m 23 and still love stickers. If you’re a sticker lover too, HI! Thanks for reading this far. Each planner comes fully stocked with two pages of solid stickers and two pages of “event stickers”. I use these to schedule my workouts so they stand out, or to mark something that happens weekly, like a bible study.

I love making my planner colorful with stickers and colored pens. It’s fun to look back and have my planners almost be like a journal. I can see what I did the days leading up to my wedding, or the day we brought home Sadie. I struggled FOREVER to find pens that didn’t bleed through, until my college roommate told me about these that don’t go through! Total game changer.

I’ll write birthdays in blue on my monthly view and bills in red. And yes, that many felt tipped pens is completely necessary.
