Like SOME of the Changes...
I have been using the Clever Fox Planner for a few years now. I love the layout and I, for some reason, always have to start in March. So I like that it is undated and I can start the next year in March rather than January. I decided to try the new "Second Edition." I like the new layout with putting the weeks right behind the month layout. I also like the addition of color on the pages, although, I don't feel it is needed. I could see better with the black. I LOVE that they included stickers this time. They are nice and colorful. I normally have to search for stickers for this size planner because they are all geared to the larger 8x11 planners. Carpe Diem is normally what I use, when I can find them. The stickers were a nice addition and well thought out what to include. The things I am NOT pleased with, would be the thinner paper that was used. Maybe it was to fit more pages and not change the size, but I am not impressed with how thin the paper is. The other thing is how cheap the cover feels. It almost feels like plastic over the leather feel it used to have. So does it hinder the way I use the planner? No. But I am paying the same price. When you write in your planner, you don't want to see the writing on the other page...so that is annoying. If they would go back to the thicker, nicer, paper; that would be preferred. But all in all, it is still my favorite planner.

Wonderful! Just what I was looking for.
I love the planner and the layout so far! Very nicely packaged when it arrived too. I don't plan on using the planner heavily but I think it's a nice combo of reflection + goal setting/planning for the rest of the year. I am not one to plan hourly either nor trying to design my layout like other serious planners so I really appreciated the pops of colors in the spreads (without it being overwhelming) and thought this was a great fit for me.Pros:-the monthly spread is followed by 5 weeks of weekly spreads after each month (instead of all the months being bunched-up at the beginning of the planner).-monthly spread includes a section for goals, wins, and a little section on the side of the month for "skills to learn/places to go/habits to adopt, etc." I haven't see that in other planners so far and loved that section the most!-weekly spread starts on Mondays and includes a section for priorities, notes, habit tracker, to-do list, wins, etc.-sections for gratitude, affirmations, daily rituals, passions, and vision boad.-goals are divided up into categories and then more focused goals.-the spreads have a light pastel colors to them and are different for each month (instead of them being back&white).-about 36 dotted pages (front&back) for anything else you'd like to add (these personally would be where my reading lists and brain dump would go).-includes a mini guide, separate from the planner, on how to use the planner.-nice stickers-includes a pen holder-includes 3 ribbon placeholders-includes a pocket at the end of the planner to hold other things you'd like to include in your plannerCons:-I would've liked a "yearly review" section at the end of all the spreads but I will most likely create one in the dotted pages. They do offer a "year at a glance" page in the beginning but I think the space is only big enough to put important events (e.g., birthdays, weddings, etc.)I definitely would recommend this planner!

The perfect planner for the imperfect planner
I love this planner! I try so hard to be organized, to make lists, to follow up with my tasks completed and tasks yet to complete. This planner is perfect for someone like me. There are no preprinted dates so I can continue my inconsistent planning. I love the pocket in the back for keeping my super awesome stickers that came with the planner, coupons and some notes that I scrounged up from my purse that are still good. I also love that it opens flat and has built in page markers. Overall, this is a great value and I would recommend this planner.

Best planner I've tried! And I've tried countless.
I've tried Passion Planner, The Hero's Journal, MiGoals (from Australia), and tried bullet journaling and so many other kinds of daily planners and so far, this one's by far the best.The thing about Passion Planners that didn't work for me was the daily spread showing the hours. I am not a person who can stick well to a regimented routine, so it's helpful for me to write down times of events in the month view, but writing down that I'm planning to workout from 7-8, and then from 9-12 work is just not helpful because so much knocks me off my schedule that I'm either erasing everything or just not even bothering to fill it out. What I needed was a planner that has a week spread with plenty of space to list my to-do action items for each day, as well as room for notes, weekly goals, habits/skills, and wins and improvements. This planner is PERFECT. I love the chunk of blank pages at the back too. It's simple, it's pretty, it has stickers (which are a bonus, not something I tend to use a lot), and it's well-made. I think I've found the one!

Slight inaccuracy on description
Love everything about this great quality diary except … I’m a list girl and was relying on the “50+ dot grid pages” at the back to have a page per week. Probably not important to most people but there’s only 38 sides (19 actual pages) so not even 50 sides.

Really helpful for those of us who are neurodiverse.
Great value for money, not dated which helps if you struggle to remember to do things(like use the planner!). Adult friendly (includes useful stickers but not ones you’d feel embarrassed using…. Great size for a handbag or briefcase or work rucksack. Very short visual guide provided in the pocket file at the back which helps you get most use out of the product . I could go on!!!All good with this one!Great choice of colours too.

Nice but dark
It’s a lovely planner and lots of bits I will use. My only issue is that it’s very dark. As in the colours on the pages it looks very business like and I wanted something a bit lighter. I was torn between this and the legend planner and I wish I had gone with the legend planner just because the pages don’t have dark colours on them. I may return it and get the legend planner I haven’t decided yet. It’s lovely just not really what I was hoping for design wise.

So good I’ve bought next year’s early!
I’ve been searching for years for a diary that meets my needs, and I’ve finally struck gold. Day space, list space, wide range of colours, completely customisable, space to add goals and ponder over what you do actually want to achieve in different areas of your life for the coming 12 months… I needed a new diary in October last year, no problem! October to September it is as every month is blank for your pleasure. The stickers are also delightful and make it easier to identify entries. For someone who’s life is generally a bit scattered and disorganised, this is just perfect as I can’t wait to pick it up and look through it every day. Only negatives are the colour is not inherent to the material on the cover (I got biro on it soon after purchase and the cleaning product I used on it stripped the colour in that spot), and that after a drink bottle leakage in my bag the cover never regained its stiffness back. However the liquid did not affect any of the printed pages inside negatively so it’s fairly robust in that respect. This will be my diary of choice for years to come.

Love Clever Fox Planners!
These are my go to planners, I’ve used the pro and this one and I find them so handy to organise my life and the notes page is perfect for a mini bullet journal style for anything additional
