There was a steep discount on the planner I would have bought if I'd been doing my normal planner purchase. And yes, I bought it.
The main issue I had was how much real estate they took away from the part of the page I use the most. I decided I would use it concurrently with my official 2022 planner for a week and see what I thought.
First, I was right about being squeezed for space with the new layout. There were two days out of seven where I ran out of room.
Second, I still like my old planner better than the new planner. A lot better.
This means I'll have to transfer everything over to the new 2022 planner. It's going to be a pain and take time I can't spare, but I'm so much happier in my regular planner that there are no words for it. And since this planner has always squeezed me for space on the weekends, I was able to cope.
Now I have to hope for 2023, they don't take more space away from my favorite part of the daily page because I seriously can't lose more room.
