Thanks for reading my blog, I'm glad ...Hi Kat,<br /><br />Thanks for reading my blog, I'm glad you like it!<br /><br />Do you mean the Uncalendar Lifestyle planner? If so, I have reviewed the large size here:<br /><br />http://www.plannerisms.com/2010/01/do-you-uncalendar.html<br /><br />And the Half size here:<br /><br />http://www.plannerisms.com/2010/12/uncalendar-lifestyle-half-size.html<br /><br />They are good planners, but either you "click" with their way of doing things or you don't.<br /><br />So, WeekDate vs. Trinote:<br /><br />WeekDate does have the advantage of only writing it once. But that aside, it may not be so easy for you to plan out your day by the hour because look at the top column for the day's specifics and at the bottom column for each day's recurrent events. It doesn't let you see each day chronologically.<br /><br />If you like to plan by the hour, I think the Trinote (if you want to start it now) or the Septanote (same thing but starts in August) would be great for you. They are the same size book, have plenty of space to write each day, you can block out time by the hour and write non-time-specific things in the daily Notes space. The list boxes can be re-labeled if you wanted to designate a box for each class, or for school/ work/ home, or any topic you need.<br /><br />For loads of photos and my going on and on about the Trinote, just type in Trinote into the Search bar and you can see all about it.<br /><br />Good luck figuring out what will work best for you, and be sure to let us know what you decide! :)Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550291806241735598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763264385856038915.post-43048614883526207922010-12-30T04:15:25.736+00:002010-12-30T04:15:25.736+00:00Laurie,
Big fan of your blog, and I love your pas...Laurie,<br /><br />Big fan of your blog, and I love your passion for all kinds of notebooks. <br /><br />I cannot decided between WeekDate and Septanote/Trinote. I missed a final exam last quarter, because I wrote the date in my monthly, but not my weekly calendar!!! Which is why I'm thinking Weekdate, but it's $$$ and does not have hour by hour planning. I love hourly planning, because it let's me see what I accomplished in one day, and I can plan out studying, cooking and even napping! I'm in medical school, so I have very little free time. I am currently using the Unlifestyle Planner, but it's not for me. If you've never used it, I could mail it to you to try after I get my new planner.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338242412673464082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763264385856038915.post-41835268311730722092010-12-06T13:23:16.742+00:002010-12-06T13:23:16.742+00:00Update on Leuchtturm planners: Many thanks to Cynt...Update on Leuchtturm planners: Many thanks to Cynthia at Journaling Arts for letting me know that www.deskstore.com sells a variety of Leuchtturm planners/ diaries and notebooks, and they ship world wide.

I REALLY like this system. I also have lots of tasks but not many appointments per day, and I like your method of blocking out the day. I too have lots of tasks that need to get done morning/ afternoon/ evening but not at a particular time. I like the flexible structure of your system.<br /><br />And yes I love how the Moleskine's daily pages just look like a notebook page and the times are easily ignored, so you can choose to use them or not. I would love to see photos!<br /><br />Congratulations on your weight loss!!!! That is very inspiring! I need to lose some weight, but mainly I need to get exercising so I'm incorporating that into my planner.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550291806241735598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763264385856038915.post-69849468935098773262010-11-28T21:58:30.714+00:002010-11-28T21:58:30.714+00:00Hi Laurie!
After trying out various layouts I'...Hi Laurie!<br /><br />After trying out various layouts I've settled on one that works for me right now. This is the current layout I'll be using for my 2011 Mole. As stated previously, I use a page per day format...<br /><br />I separate my day/page into 3 main sections: <br />1. TOP-- Here I put my daily to-dos. I actually separate this section into quarters and mark them as Morn, 12:00, 3:00 & 6:00. This adds structure to my day. Certain tasks are for the morning, others for the afternoon & still others for evening.<br />2. MIDDLE--My food log. I recently started exercising & watching what I eat. (I've lost nearly 20 lb since June!:-) ) <br />3. BOTTOM-- This section is for random notes &/or journal entries.<br /><br />My system is one that emphasizes tasks/to-dos & not appointments or events. Keeping a detailed calendar is less important than making sure I get certain goals done each day.<br /><br />I don't have an appointment heavy life so don't need a daily planner that enphasizes hourly appointments. The great thing about the Mole is that the hours are very subtle & can be ignored.... I think you've pointed this out in your past reviews. <br /><br />Any appointments I might have are noted in my monthly calendar (in past planners calendars have been printed separately & glued to the front) & then noted on the very top section of the appropriate day.<br /><br />No matter what planner I use I know I have to customize each day. By switching to a commercial planner it means I don't have to glue in a calendar each month or write out the date each day-- less stuff to do.<br /><br />I'll get my Moleskine laid out & see if I can send you pics... :-)Team Brindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11617273530412639059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763264385856038915.post-49664128062171154472010-11-28T09:45:00.452+00:002010-11-28T09:45:00.452+00:00Hi Laura, I just asked on another post's comm...Hi Laura, I just asked on another post's comment (before I saw this one) which Mole you'd chosen for 2011. I agree I really like the clean page layout in the Moleskine, nothing to clutter it up or interfere with your system. Do you mind telling us what sections you create for each day and how you line them out? I'm curious how you structure your day spaces and am thinking of doing something similar. Thanks!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550291806241735598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763264385856038915.post-87884474210221760872010-11-28T03:06:21.689+00:002010-11-28T03:06:21.689+00:00I looked around quite a bit & have chosen the ...I looked around quite a bit & have chosen the Large Moleskine Daily (in red) as my planner for 2011. Reasons:<br /><br />1. They come in the right size-- app 5x8<br /><br />2. Clean page layout-- I need to create sections for each day and the Moleskine gave me the most room to write in. The other planners that came close had thick borders, huge fonts or other doo-dads I didn't need which took up too much room on the pg.<br /><br />3. The price was reasonable-- $15... I saw others that were over $30.<br /><br />Looking forward to using it!Team Brindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11617273530412639059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763264385856038915.post-36503585212441205802010-11-24T18:12:51.547+00:002010-11-24T18:12:51.547+00:00Redstar also has an undated version!!

Actually, the reason why I chose these planners in particular is because these are actual 2011 planners that I have reviewed, still have in my possession (I have given one 2011 planner away and so have not included it in this list) and that are still available to purchase (which is why I didn't include my 2011 Rabbit planner, because it is sold out). <br /><br />I could have included 2010 planners that I have reviewed, but without the 2011 versions in my hands I can't guarantee the features and designs would be the same from year to year.<br /><br />By all means, take a look in my sidebar labeled "Browse Planner Brands and Formats" for more ideas for your 2011 planner! There's loads of excellent planners over there.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550291806241735598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763264385856038915.post-69394083335710326742010-11-22T15:00:45.600+00:002010-11-22T15:00:45.600+00:00Hi Laurie, I'm back online, back on your blog ...Hi Laurie, I'm back online, back on your blog :)<br />I admire your ability to choose 9 out of your billion planners to recommend to your audience. Maybe it has something to do with your planner-enhanced organizational skills? :-)<br /><br />I think I like the Trinote best, although the WeekDate planner looks gorgeous with the colours and setup. For me at this point, though, the simpler the better, or my overactive mind gets aggravated.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09247902655418634042noreply@blogger.com
