RocketbookPanda Planner - Reusable Academic Daily Planner with 1 Pilot Frixion Pen & 1 Microfiber Cloth Included - Teal Cover, Executive Size (15.2 cm x 22.4 cm)

I've struggled with organization my entire life. Bullet journals were great, but I always got one... used it for two weeks or so... and then it would sit in a corner to collect dust.My wildly organization-starved ADHD self tried journal after journal, planner after planner, but I always found that I either didn't know WHAT to be keeping track of, or how to build and keep routines.But this thing?! This planner has actually given me the ability to function.I've been using it for two months now, I've kept my daily, weekly, and monthly routines. I've been able to track and achieve goals in mental health, keep up in communication with friends/family, and I have not ONCE missed an appointment. Which, for me, is the biggest win.This planner is so oriented toward people struggling with mental health and boy does it deliver. The man who created it suffers from mental illness himself and aimed at making a planner that is accessible as heck.It helps you celebrate ever single little win that may happen throughout the day, which is huge for people who feel like they don't even know where to start with anything.This has turned me into a functioning, organized person, which- if you also have ADHD- you know how much organization is essential to fighting executive dysfunction, but also know how damn difficult it is to maintain organization in any capacity.I absolutely can't speak more highly of it.If you're still reading this, what more do you even need to be said?! Why are you even on the fence still?! GO!

I have been eyeing another rocketbook for quite a while, but when I saw this I decided to go for it. I liked the page layouts and having it combined with the power of rocketbook I was really excited to get it.It came in the mail and I was disappointed. There are a ton of repeated panda planner pages in it and only 5 basic rocketbook pages. The quality is wonderful, just a lot of pages I can't see myself using when you're supposed to erase the ink from the pages frequently so they don't stain.I put it back in the packaging and hit return before I even opened the pen. I would have rather had a single calendar, the goals pack, the annual planner, a max of 2 weekly and daily planning pages, and more empty pages to write in/work with.In case anyone is curious, here are the numbers of pages.1 annual planning6 monthly (3 calendar layouts)6 Goals (anything & everything, my goals & target metrics, roadmap, obstacles, motivation, commit)4 weekly review10 daily2 dot grid2 lined1 blank

Do you want a journal meant for 12 year old children? Do you need daily affirmations, or find yourself looking in the mirror repeating, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!" Well, you are in luck! Rocketbook brings you their new planner.Unreal. I should have known by the panda on the cover that this wasn't going to be the planner I had hoped Rocketbook would release.I have had Rocketbook notebooks for years. I currently carry the executive version everywhere with me and I have the letter sized one on my desk. I have created planner pages in my executive sized Rocketbook using a permanent pen, but always thought it would be great if Rocketbook released a planner akin to At-A-Glance planners. Well, they did not and the preview images here don't provide enough information to let you know that what you are actually buying is a child's diary minus the heart-shaped lock.Page 1:A good start... A simple, clean 12 month future event planning pagePages 2 through 7:Full-sized month pages to fill out by the day's planned events, meetings, and goals.Page 8:Now we are off the rails...This page has blocks for Family and Friends, Relationshipo, Personal Devolopement & Achievement, Health and Fitness, and Wealth and Finance. The sixth area on the page is for "Prioritize" and provides numbers 1-5 to order your warm fuzzies from the aforementioned categories.The header reads, "Write down anything that you want to do, accomplish or experience, based on the category. The timeframe can be this quarter, this year or this lifetime: it's up to you."THIS IS A REUSEABLE NOTEBOOK! A PLANNER! NOT A PERMANENT DIARY/JOURNAL/SELF-HELP WORKBOOK! The point is to use it, wipe it clean, and use it again. Is it your intent to write all of your hopes and dreams in a planner and then take a wet cloth to it and blot them out?Dumbest possible imagining of what a Rocketbook planner should be. It just gets more rediculous from here...Page 9:Sections for My Goals, Target Metrics, Milestones, and Key Habits.Page 10:Roadmap. A 13 week roadmap to attain your goals...Page 11:Obstables and If/Then RoutinesPage 12:Motivation. Here is a line from this page: "What type of person do you need to be to accomplish your goals and integrate your new habits? Write down and tie it into your personal values. i.e. I am a runner. I run at least a mile per day and I will finish a half marathon to be an example of perseverance for my family."Page 13:Motivation. More of the same.This page actually has daily affirmations. Here is one from the page. "I will forgive myself when I falter (because I know I will), buy I will get back on track as soon as I am able.Page 14-17:"Week of" planner pages with minimum space to use the week laid out at the very bottom of the page, but with plenty of space for "Things I will do to make this week great."Page 18-27:Daily planner pages. Carrying on the theme of being a self-help "planner," the top third of the page provides room for what "I'm grateful for, I'm excited about, Today's wins, How I'll improve, and, of course, a space to write your daily affirmation. Seriously. A space to write your daily affirmation.Fortunately, the bottom two-thirds of the page is left for daily priorities and a 5AM to 9PM schedule.The final five pages are blank.Buy this for your child for journaling under the covers at bedtime.Buy this for yourself if you are working through some personal issues and could use a tool for daily affirmations or accountability. (Albeit a disposable, erasable, impermanent one that by its nature can absolve you of your committed, written goals with the swipe of a wet cloth!)Don't buy this if you are a dedicated student needing a real planner.Don't buy this if you are running a home or a business.Don't buy this if you are a professional with a full schedule and a genuine need to keep track of multiple upcoming events and/or information.Don't buy this...

I love Rocketbooks. I bought the A4 fusion book a while back, and love it. You can reuse the pages, the app works superbly. I decided I wanted an executive/A5 size and instead of going for the Fusion, I thought I would try the Panda.But this Rocketbook Panda just isn't for me. Far too many specialised pages, that are way too prescriptive.I had imagined that they would be good for product and project planning, but really not for me. It's far more of a self help book, to list your life goals, and achievements.So in summary. Go out and buy a rocketbook, they are great. But before you buy this version, be very sure it is what you want. I suspect for most people the Fusion is a better bet than this. Just hope this review helps some avoid the unfortunate, expensive mistake I made.

High hopes but ultimately a waste of money. I was talked into buying this. I shouldn’t have listened.Yes it works, and yes, it is reusable, but it is a gimmick that is harder to use and access than a normal paper diary. It also has loads of Americanisms like ‘meditation’ and ‘what I succeeded at today’
