Clever FoxPlanner Daily – Best Agenda & Daily Calendar to Boost Productivity & Hit Your Goals – Gratitude Journal Personal Daily Organizer – 14.5x21cm, Lasts 6 Months, Undated, Periwinkle

I love this product, I needed something to stay organised and motivated me to complete tasks and this does it all. Brilliant lay out, I love the orange colour and to be honest I cannot at this stage fault it (I’ve only had it for a couple of weeks) but I know I will be buying a second one.

I enjoy using my planner - I've bought quite a few different daily planners over the years, this is a good one. One drawback for me is that the daily page is not quite organised the way I'd like it.. I change it about to have a longer to do list section, and I use the bottom section to note 3 things I'm grateful for. Otherwise, I really like it.

Lovely colour,looks really expensive and very personal with full instructions

Great planner makes planning your time significantly easier and rewarding.

Really beautiful planner with everything you need to plan your work and life commitments plus gove you time for you

Yep, Lit, get it if ull use it

One major downside of working from home is too much time flexibility and the inherent potential for distraction and procrastination. I found that by 10am every morning I was worn out from having planned and re-planned my day, checking in on social media to distract myself, loading the washing machine when I should have been working, and generally wasting too much mental energy on indecisiveness around silly inconsequential stuff.After pondering planner/organiser apps for a few months I began researching how other freelancers had successfully pinned down how to create a routine out of a messy and unpredictable work and domestic life combo. I found really helpful reviews for a couple of planners but Clever Fox seemed to be the favourite by a clear margin.The pro's:It's beautiful. It feels special (so soft...). It's vibrant sitting there on the desk, and it screams "Use me to make every moment count. You complete me!"It's expensive. Yes, that is a pro. I'm damned sure I'm not going to spend that amount on a planner and leave it gathering dust in a drawer. The expense (ok, and the speshulness) keeps me accountable and encourages me to use it.Speaking of accountability, it's made me realise how much time I waste. Time I could be working, cuddling my dogs (It's become an important daily habit, good for the nervous system, relaxing, inspires creativity), doing fun stuff. I make sure I adhere as closely to the plan as possible and my productivity has increased, as has my newfound ability to take some chill time, guilt-free (it's perfect for achieving a work/life balance).It's removed the brain-ache of "what should i do next out of this massive list" - i've already decided the night before, and anything new or forgotten that comes up I add to next day's "to do" list.It makes you think of other important stuff like making time to see people.There's space to review your week and make notes - something I didn't think I would use, but it's really useful to refer back when planning the following week.There are so many features that I won't go into here, but it's really freed up a lot of headspace for me personally. My decisions for the following day are made at the end of each day when it's less overwhelming, and starting your day knowing that it's planned out for you is what has really worked for me. It's a lovely little piece of kit for anyone who needs to free up some headspace, time and energy.

This really did change my life. The planner is so nicely laid out I really enjoyed setting the time aside to plan my days and weeks on a Sunday. I've had it for 5 out of the 6 months it lasts for now and my boyfriend has told me I've done more in the last 6 month than in the entire 3.5 years he's known me. Because the planner has special sections each week for life-balance it's encouraged me to focus on improving every aspect of my life. The habit tracker is also a great little feature. My only criticisms are: it only comes with three sheets of stickers and considering this has monthly spreads and a page a day for 6 months that's not really enough. A full spread with hournly appointments is too much for me, especially on weekends when I probably only need a few lines (not really a criticism because I think this is down to how busy your schedule is)I have just purchased the weekly planner premium pro for the next year because the daily spreads were too much for me so I will review that in a few months
