The High Performance Planner [Blue] Diary – Day to Day Calendar, November 2, 2018

I am new to the High Performance Planner world but so far I love it. I have used paper and digital planners over the years and had good experiences. What makes this different is the tie-in with Brendon Burchard's book - High Performance Habits. The planner is more of a guiding tool to help you achieve and be better. The daily, weekly and monthly questions and reviews are helping me to approach my day more effectively and efficiently. Calling this a planner is slightly under selling what it truly does.

I really like this organizer and it’s nice looking, but the only problem is that the cover seems to be made of cardboard and starts to rip on the edges quickly. I’ve only had it about ten days and have only kept it on my desk, but the cover bends slightly and rips quickly. Other than the covet, it’s a great organizer.

Wow! This planner is a serious attitude check every morning and a thoughtful reflection every night. I have been using it for about three weeks solid and my time-management has greatly improved. I have been on-time (or ahead of time) and on-track for my goals and objectives. It's nice that it comes in a sixty-day portion so that you can try it and see if you like it before committing to a full year. Thanks, Brendon!

The packaging of the journal caused some damage to the exterior - bent in the top edge and ripped through the covering on some of the corners. The journal is great but it came looking pretty damaged.

More than a calendar, the focusing each day with a set of contemplative questions, focusing objectives and self measurement will create an amazing day. Because there is so much here- even though it could be done in less than 10 minutes, the discipline to make it a habit and use it daily is important.

I did not read the books by the author before I bought this planner. I read a few reviews and thought it looked like it merged several other planners I have used in the past (Franklin Covey, Levenger Circut, Organize your Gorgeous Chaos,etc.). So while I really like the "Morning Mindset" and the "Evening Journal" and the "Tasks that absolutely must be done today"...I have noticed several glaring holes (in my opinion) in this particular planner.In reading the author's intro, I saw no notes on how the "Month Ahead at a glance' is supposed to integrate with the weekly plan. And I just assumed that this planner would have a place to plan the whole week & then figure out which days would be best to tackle which tasks. Nope- no weekly planning view. My other planners that were designed to maximize my life while keeping me sane and balanced provided a weekly high level view so I could see where my pockets of time allowed for me to work on the priority projects.There are no actual prompts to review your prior week & move forward undone tasks. There is no 'project' area where I can break out my projects by smaller tasks and track that project....and I intuitively know I need to do this, and am using the notes section in the back for some of this....and the notes section in the bottom of the daily pages for some of this as well.Unfortunately the "weekly learning review" seems to devote a whole page to the author's self assessment & test....Pros: It has good prompts for "morning mindset" & "evening journal" that are helpful but I feel like these sections are a bit long and not all the questions are really needed. It has 30 minute increments all day- which is also helpful for planning and time monitoring and figuring out where my time crunches will hit when I have competing priorities. It has un-dated pages so I can structure my week how it best fits me. (I like to review on Saturday mornings & figure out what I need to move forward to the following week at that time so I can relax on Sunday knowing I have a plan for the next week.Cons: (1) no weekly calendar view that allows for high-level plan or transferring and updating projects/plans from Monthly calendar (2) no good way of moving tasks forward that have gotten 'missed' on a daily or weekly basis (the weekly review is all subjective & assessment based) (3) Monthly pages are in the middle and not easily found- I had to add flags to mine to make them easy to refer toI am undecided if I will continue to use this for more than the 60 days it covers...there is probably enough space to customize the sections if I want to...but the jury is still out on whether it is really superior to other systems out there. It's clearly not designed as an 'organizational tool' like a Franklin Covey or a Levenger Circut...it seems more like it's designed to help keep you focused on a few key goals and making time to connect with the important people in your life.

Awesome product and a great seller‼️Arrived on time and I love the attention to details that Brendon Burchard and his team put into this planner. I am a detail-oriented guy and always look into this sort of stuff. Overall a great experience – will definitely come back for more products when they will be available

I received my planning and excited to get it to use. It has areas that I can utilize to get organized . I had several people who ordered a planner after I shared my purchase on social media.
