But the first planner from my preorders arrived and I am not happy.
The planner that arrived is the one that's been my everyday planner since 2016. I've complained about it before, tried to move off of it and into another daily planner before, but have always ended up back in it because it has little icons printed on each page to track water, vitamins, meditation, exercise, etc. I love those features!
But among my many issues with this planner, Saturday and Sunday share a page and those are my two busiest days of the week. I actually have to jam two items per line to get it to work for me.
And last year a new hell came into play. They used to print the same day on the same side of the page all the way through. As an example, the Saturday/Sunday combo page was always on the lefthand side. Last year, they didn't do that, and my days were flying around to any side. Did not like. But it was only a couple of months.
And then there was this year's planner. Five months have Saturday/Sunday on the left, and seven months have it on the right.
There have been a number of changes throughout the years that I haven't liked. For example, they keep adding sections below the To Do list side of the page and taking away real estate from my list. They've added all kinds of things that I do not use and do not want like what I'm reading. If I want to list what I'm reading in my planner, I have stickers for that. I need my To Do List section more than I need to record the book I'm reading.
I'd already made plans to try to get myself into a different daily planner for 2025 and now I'm going to try harder. I really do not want to buy this planner again.
I tried stickers in another daily a few years ago when I tried to change, and the bulkiness was an issue. This time around I'm going to try stamps. We'll see how it goes. I might have to abandon the icons and keep track of water some other way. I have ideas.
