So after managing this year in my Erin Condren, I was considering getting another one. I had it all figured out in my head to go for the hourly vertical layout and had everything in my shopping cart ready to go….

But then I started seeing another planner that had much more detail on Instagram. I found myself following more and more people using it, and when the 2020 planners were launched I just fell in love and knew it had to be a Passion Planner for 2020.

I decided on the yellow, dated weekly design. Each planner bought donates money to a charity which I thought was amazing! Mine gave a donation to Pencils of Promise which is a charity that helps build schools in communities that need them.

The price of the planner was cheaper than the Erin Condren, but I had also measured and discovered it would be slightly smaller too. Passion Planner give you 3 size options, and there is a handwriting test sheet you can print out for free to work out which planner size you will need. I opted for the smallest size. The postage was also reasonable and delivery to the UK took approximately 2 weeks which I didn’t think was too bad.

So why choose this planner over another Erin Condren? For me I felt this planner just had a lot more content that I would need moving forward. The children are doing more activities and Gary and I also have relatively busy lives. And as much as we have electronic shared calendars I still like seeing it all laid out on paper in front of me.

What I found especially beneficial with the Passion Planner was the areas specific to work and personal life so I could clearly separate my tasks. This was both in the monthly and weekly spreads

The weekly spread itself was the reason I fell in love with this planner and felt it would be the best way forward for me. The time slots are fantastic running from 6am to 10:30pm in half hour blocks which is ideal for planning busy days like mine!

As you can see it is just so jammed packed! I know I am going to use all the space without a shadow of a doubt! But not only is the weekly schedule so packed, there is space for monthly reflection, a whole wad of blank sheets and a pocket for stickers! You just can’t go wrong!

I cannot wait to get started in this planner in the new year! So much so I am actually now a Passion Planner influencer so click here for 10% off your new planner…

Just as one final note… Passion Planner are launching a daily planner on 7th October! I know I will be getting one of these as well!
