How to Choose A Planner That You'll Actu...

Megan Sumrell: Time Management and Productivity Coach
About this episode

It's that time of year when everyone starts asking for planner suggestions! I'm sharing some of the things I've noticed as I do deep-dive reviews of different planners. I am going to compare 6 different planners and talk through the pros and cons of each while also giving you my tips on what to look for (and what to avoid) when picking your next planner.

Planners discussed in this episode: Passion Planner, TOP Planner, Living Well Planner, Happy Planner, Full Focus Planner, Bloom Work Life Balance and I also mention Bullet Journals and Rocketbook.

Let me help you get your wheels going as you start thinking about your new planner for next year.

Tune in to find out which ones I would recommend (or not recommend) to help make your planning more fun and effective.

In this episode, you will learn the following:

  • How to choose the right planner for you
  • What to look for in a planner
  • What to avoid in a planner
