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

I have been researching planners for over 2 years and with absolutely no bias since I don’t personally follow the creators videos or content, this daily planner is by far the best thing I have found.What I love about the planner is the overall visual layout of the questions, days, etc where it doesn’t stress me out and make me feel like a robot trying to fill it out to survive the rat race.This planner helps me slow down, be mindful, and find intention in my day. What I also love about it is the evening check-in section each day where most planners don’t offer. This section allows me to celebrate my wins and see what I didn’t do what I hoped to accomplish from my morning check-in.Overall 100/100!!

I love this planner!!! I was surprised at how in depth the questions are but after using it for a few weeks, I know this is something I will always use. One thing that I would add is for each date- it reads as. __/__. There is not spot for the year, I just like have the complete date but other than that it is excellent. My productivity is more intentional and I get more done.

I love this planner. I use it every Sunday to plan for the week. I especially like the balance it creates by having you focus not only on your tasks and schedule but also on who to reach out to, what you need to keep on your radar and helps you reflect on how things went each day and week.I only wish it were spiral bound, as if I miss a day, I feel like I have wasted valuable planning pages.

FIRST IMPRESSION: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️As I take the item out of the padded envelope, the green color is extremely striking (just as shown in the AMAZON photos. Mine were a little brighter than actual color.) So glad I chose this color! As I flipped through this full-size planner, I am a little overwhelmed by it’s size. (More on this later.) I am impressed by the layout, the feel of the pages and the thickness of the book itself. There is an attached matching page ribbon (bookmarked) and a matching band to close and secure the planner.USAGE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (I am going to skip the life questions in the beginning for now. They are great questions and I’d like to scan them so my kids can review and I can work with them on a planner/agenda of their own.) I immediately fill out today’s morning entry: the questions are easy to answer, and ask you about what is important for the day’s focus. I like this! The day’s schedule is easy to fill out. I like the space provided for 1/4 hours, or using entire line for 1/2hour increments. Others say there is too much space for goals and tasks, but I like the space. I always have more tasks that need to get done than space available. Besides, I would think that any additional white space will help me stay focused on these items. I like the dotted note area, and this area will be familiar for those who are coming from bullet journals. The evening questions are poignant and help me see where I’ve excelled and where I need to focus for tomorrow.QUALITY: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️__The pages are of good quality and the black, grey and white print is perfect. (I hate varying colors so the consistency was nice.) The size? I actually really love this. The size feels important, and these 20-30 minutes I spend in the morning and in the evening...I want these moments to be important! I received my planner with a defect in the binding area, and in the back and inside front lining of the book. Not sure if this happened during printing, in handling or in shipping, but they are there. It was a disappointment. But, I don’t want to focus on this because I am positive this planner is going to change my life - its questions are powerful and I appreciate them for keeping me focused on the important things for my day! However, to be fair, if the binding and the exterior and the interior quality would have arrived without defects, THEN I WOULD GIVE THIS PLANNER A FULL, WELL DESERVED 5-STAR RATING!VALUE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Overall this is a good value for what you are receiving. Maybe there will be future options for different covers. It would also be nice to have a leather-bound planner you might be able to refill. I would love this option if so.SHIPPING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Amazon) The planner came in a slightly padded large envelope, which I wonder is the best way to ship this item. The bag didn’t seem the best way to protect an item from bending in the shipping process. (See photos.) Planner came a day after Amazon said it would be here. I ordered on Match 9th, right before midnight. Sent complaint to Amazon CS about this and was notified this was a glitch in the system but, to date, nothing has been communicated to me that this was resolved for others. So, please be aware.

I purchased this item after it was recommended by a friend. I bought one for myself and another for a close friend. The quality was outstanding. The shipping was super fast. I am in awe of the value for the price. I would highly recommend this product!

Firstly, I want to start by saying I think Brendon Bouchard (apologies if spelling is wrong) is great. His podcasts are free and typically full of great information. I love a good system, so figured I'd give this a try and honestly really love the concept as it does force you to be more thoughtful and intentional in our day to day life. However, in execution I found that this planner falls short in several areas - in fact, I developed my own system from this planner which cherry picks the questions I think are of high value and disregarding the ways (I think) it falls way short and just wrote them in a small notebook for the same effect (I didn't really need the time planner as I use ms outlook anyways). First, some of the daily questions are great, but others I found were stressing me out as it seemed unrealistic to come up with a unique answer each day. Some examples: each day asked to figure out someone you can surprise, this was fun at first but got repetitive quickly. I'd make this a weekly question. In a similar vein every day you are asked to come up with a "bold" move for that day. Each day I'd pretty much write "TBD" in the spaces-again a great question for a weekly or monthly prompt, but daily was just overkill and actually seemed more counterproductive and I strangely seemed like I was failing every time I couldn't answer this question. Ditto on the question about "who needs me on my a-game" - the answers pretty much didn't vary day to day and would be a much stronger weekly prompt to get ready for the upcoming week - several days I actually just wrote "team / myself / family" to this question with very few exceptions. Of course there are days where other people can enter the picture that need you on your a-game, and hence I think this is a better weekly question. Additionally, each day you are asked to put down the goals that you can't really act on now but are longer term. I wound up writing down the same acronym to represent my long term goals on this. What I didn't like about this question however, was there was no meaningful action related to this question. A much more meaningful question would be to put this prompt in the weekly section and then to provide a prompt to ask what one thing you can do this week to move towards one or more of these goals so that you can actually focus on making progress in these areas rather than rehashing them over and over. However, on the flip side, some of the weekly questions / prompts I found to be highly relevant and wished they appeared each day and of high value (hence my new system). Some examples are questions that you to rate if you were able to maintain high levels of necessity, generate prolific quality output etc. that week. I think those are the questions I should ask myself each day to make sure the day doesn't slip away without really focusing on high priority items and realizing the importance of each day. Also, the planner should begin with a monthly calendar, preferable with a tab to refer back to. It appears at the end of each month, which seems very backwards in a system like this (for example, when I first got the planner I found myself planning that month in a calendar that was ~ 50 pages back so very strange). On the physical product side, I loved the green color until I kept the planner in a bag with my laptop and the color ran all over the laptop (a coworker one day exclaimed "is your laptop tinted green?") it was really tough to get the dye off. So buyer beware as I imagine the dyes on this product might be prone to running in other circumstances also. Again, I think this concept is great - but I really think the questions for daily vs. weekly vs. monthly need to be rethought to be of a higher value and a way to incorporate making progress on longer term goals should be thought out and incorporated. I did find it to be a great concept though as a jumping off point to jerry rig my own system that is meaningful to me and you might find you can do the same.

Beautiful colour, well designed, has honest to goodness helped me feel less stressed in my day.

Awesomely good!

Je m'attendais à un produit révolutionnaire vu le prix. Mais rien de surprenant, on a l'impression d'avoir acheté un simple agenda. Des méthodes et conseils facilement trouvés sur internet et peu nombreux d'ailleurs. On peut trouver mieux c'est sur!Il faut l'avouer, la qualité du cahier est très bonne.

The planner itself is good quality, but the content is complex and there is no room to write anything. Not a good planner

love this planner
