Clever Fox Weekly Planner Undated, Monthly & Daily Notebook, Turquoise

Diaries are all well and good, but unless you hold dedication into filling them out then they are pretty much an empty notebook! However...This Clever Fox Planner has the first added bonus of being undated which means, you go diary-free for a week-a month etc..you can pick up from where you left off! The set up is pretty self explanatory with month planners, weekly planners, notes area. Depending on your method of progress, is entirely up to you how you use this. I am using in to keep work/studies/important dates in progress and of course goals. The goals bit, does seem a bit like an "eyes roll" moment, but it does work, if you put pen to paper and it is there in front of you, you can keep reminding yourself what you started out with in your mind, it does seem to help stop that drifting we can all so when we think of something we would like to have or do, but it just seems to always be an "oh, yeah, I was thinking about doing that one day...". Basically, the undated diary is what you make it. I so far have found it useful, but only been in possession for less than a month so, I am still holding full judgement on my capabilities to keep this in my bag and use it as much as possible! - The actual product, printed on good quality paper, though found a couple of pens did get a bit soaky and patch the reverse. I did have a section that mid way had excess glue holding two pages tight, but with a careful hand they separated but that can happen in any production line so not a black mark as it was so close to the spine end of the book I could see it might have slipped through QC. - the outer cover is a tactile solid cover, (I opted black). There is three page dividing ribbons so you can keep month, weeks and notes tabbed and a strong inside pocket for receipts etc. which I am using instead of them decaying in the bottom of by bag! I don't really have any overall criticism as if you buy this it is obviously something you are looking for and the aim of it is why you purchase it. Not a diary for someone who only needs to keep track of the tide times, it has to be part of you routine to get the most from it, but again it gives room to dip in and out if you prefer. It is totally dependant on what you put in as to what you get out of it.

Love this journal! 💖 starts off with a Gratitude and self awareness section to allow one to self reflect on the good things in life both big & small. I find it helpful to read this in the mornings before I start my day! There’s also a Daily rituals page for habits you wish to form in the year & an affirmations page to create a positive mindset and allow yourself to feel good 🥰 The journal also includes a two spread page for a vision board which would be great for someone who has visual goals they wish to achieve & it’s a sort of great motivator in ensuring one sticks to targets! I loved that you could write in different goals related to different aspects- it sort of forced me to think outside the box for some to ensure I had goals for each! I haven’t yet tried the mind map page/bullet journal as I am a sort of neat freak and find it difficult to jot things out in that way but the bullet journal has enough pages to cover each week so you could bullet out each week also if someone is into that. It’s a cute journal which is suitable for all no matter what the goals of the year. I love the monthly spreads which allow a quick overview of the month to come & can allow you to plan quickly & then you can go into more detail with the weekly spreads which allow you to break down the month into weeks! Overall the journal is everything & much more than what I could have asked for! - I initially purchased this for my anxiety as I needed something to jot down things in for the day & plan ahead but this is definitely a life saver & the stickers included are super cute which is a bonus! Pages are good quality & the journal also comes with a starter guide for those who need some inspiration before starting out 🥰

I got this after seeing a similar planner which was since discontinued be recommended for ADHD. Needless to say I have some thoughts on the matter. The planner comes perfectly packaged, so it can easily act as its own gift box. Just note that there are two little cards inside: one with refund policy and another asking for a review, so it may be worth taking the review one out unless you want the receiver to know how much you spent, and then wonder why you spent so much on a planner at all. The cover itself is high quality feeling. It's very clearly some form of vegan leather, which does mean it is plastic. It might be susceptible to wear and tear over the years for that point (vegan leather clothing is very likely to fall apart and disintegrate in your hands after a few years) so if you're the tipe to regularly fiddle about with your planner it may potentially have problems down the line. The very first page is for if your planner is lost: you can put your name, phone number, email address and a reward for if its found. The name line is very short: I have reasonably medium sized writing (I would say relatively average size) and I had very little room left. If you have a long first and last name it's probably not worth filling it in. After this there are four boxes to write in with the headers "I am grateful for...", "What am I passionate about? What brings me joy in life?", "Skills to learn & habits to adopt this year", and "My affirmations". The guide the planner comes with has tips on how to use all these sections, from my perspective it feels like they want it to be a mental health launching pad, and it's something I only found myself using two squares of. From here you have a double page spread dedicated to a vision board. Something else I don't find useful in a planner. You come from this to a "My Goals" double spread which has boxes for "health", "business & career", "family & friends", significant other & romance", "finance", "personal development", "fun & recreation" and "spiritual", with three boxes alongside each to allow you to set three goals in each area. Again, a nice sentiment, but I didn't use three of the sections there and I doubt I will. You then have a page for 5 main goals for the year, and a page for a mindmap. Goals were useful to me, mindmap was not. This brings us to the meat of the planner: the monthly and weekly plans. On the monthly planner you have a lot of things going on: the section to fill out the days of the month for a snapshot view of what needs doing, 5 boxes for a "plan" which have the titles "habits to adopt", "skills to learn", "things to avoid", "places to go" and "people to see". You then have a section titled "this month's goals" on the left page to write your goals, and on the right two other sections called "This month's wins" and "How i'll improve next month", with three bullet points to fill in. If it sounds like a lot this is because it is. It can be a little daunting to have to sit down and think about what you want to accomplish in a month, especially if you have the fun disorder where you have no idea what you'll be doing in the next 5 minutes (otherwise known as ADHD). To be fair the planner is not marketed to be for ADHD, but I have seen it mentioned a few times on forums as a good one, so be mindful of the potential overload when you get started filling in. From here you have the weekly planner. All 7 days are on one side, with saturday and sunday having smaller boxes. Then on the right page is a whole host of things to fill in: "This week's main goal (with a section to fill in a reward for if it is completed)", "This week's priorities", "notes (set on a bullet journal backdrop)", "Personal to-do list", "Habits/Skills (with a weekly tracker)", This week's wins" and "how will I improve next week". Again: a lot of different things to fill in. It is daunting as usual, and as it tends to be with ADHD it's a lot to stay on top of all day, meaning that usually I can go days without looking at it because its just a bit too much at times. From here you do indeed have a sizeable amount of blank pages which I found useful, and there are stickers included. The downside is the quality of them isn't the best as they tend to pop out of the sheet. All in all if you think the planner will work for you, it probably will. You have to be very dedicated to keep it up to get the most out of it, and if you won't use every feature it offers the price really isn't worth it. I essentially payed to just use 3 sheets of blank paper, a monthly planner and a weekly planner, so keep that in mind if that's all you're looking for in a planner.

I've been using a BuJo for a while now and find them really helpful but wanted to try a different layout and more goal orientated. I haven't finished my current BuJo yet, so this will be the next one. It comes in a box which I think would make it nice present. The cover has a nice peachy feel to it and it comes with 3 pages of colourful stickers if that's your thing. It's divided up into sections. The first section is where you decide on your goals/ visions for the next 12 months, the next section is your monthly planner, then a section of weekly planners and then a dot grid section. It has 3 handy place markers so you can easily flip from one section to the next. It also comes with a guide to how to fill out each section and the company sent me an email with a more detailed guide to filling out the sections. The month/year is left blank for you to fill out, so you could start it any time. I like the appearance and I think I'm going to enjoy using it when I transition to it. I really like the guides as I'm not a natural planner/ goal orientated so it's handy to get some tips. I like the fact each section is set up and you just have to fill in your goals and how you're progressing. Overall it's really pretty and there's obviously been a lot of thought gone into the sections to fill out. I think there will be enough space each week, but there's also the dot grid section at the back for doodling, projects similar to a Bullet Journal (BuJo). The paper feels like a good weight and I think might reduce 'bleed-through', but as I haven't started using it yet can't say for sure. The thing I don't like and the reason I marked it down is the monthly planner section runs Sunday to Saturday and the weekly planner section runs Monday to Sunday. It's a little thing but I work shifts and my week definitely runs Monday to Sunday, so it gets confusing flipping between the two - and the daily heading in the monthly section and weekly is dark background so it isn't going to be easy to relabel the days and a bit of a pain.

I ordered the rose gold and it’s a lovely, quality finish. This is just what I wanted to make some plans for the new year and set some goals around health and fitness. I would say that if you have larger handwriting or like a lot of room you might prefer the A4 size. I got the A5 as I wanted something small but even with my fairly small handwriting it’s a squeeze to get things in. They make a point of saying there are a lot of blank pages at the back to do whatever you want with but I’m not sure it’s necessary and might have been better used for more room in the each week section. Also it comes with an “instruction” book on how to fill in the first section of goals and affirmations. I found their examples a bit weird - the very first is about being grateful for how close the family is, which I’m sure isn’t true for most people (certainly me!) and could be a bit upsetting. Also one of their examples for a financial goal was “save $100,000” - good luck with that everyone! Also I think the creater wants to lose 20lbs… Anyway it’s well presented, handy for what I want - great to have 12 x 2-page monthly planners plus 2 pages for each week, and I love the little “habit builder” tick boxes which I hope will help me remember all my good intentions! All in all I’m glad I got it.

This would be a great present for someone. It comes in a presentation box along with an instruction booklet to help you get the best use out of it and some stickers. There's no dates so you can start using it any time of the year. There's a pen holder and elasticated strap so you can take it with you anywhere. There's also three different coloured ribbons so you can bookmark each section of the journal. I have one for the current month, one for the current week and one for the end section with is a bullet journal - allowing you to keep whatever information you'd like. It's a real chance to be artistic or organised. I've had a bullet journal before but found having to draw out every week and month really tedious so I love that it's all done for me here so I can concentrate on the fun stuff. All you need to do is keep the first two pages for a contents page so you can find what you want easily. Can do things like a birthday calendar, cleaning rota, list of books you want to read, films you've seen, your goals etc etc. It's a beautiful, quality journal and well worth the money.

I want to start by saying the planner and it’s presentation is perfect. It looks high quality, and feels high quality. It’s nicely laid out inside too. However, it is a lot to take on board. I’m finding myself stumped with what to write in some of the sections. I’m not really that creative so the dotted pages, the vision board, and the mind map sections really aren’t something I can realistically see myself using. I also find there isn’t enough room on the weekly sections to write enough, especially if you’re doing more than one thing on any given day. I also couldn’t fit the month of January onto the first month page which was a little annoying. The weekly pages are good, again, lots of sections to think about. Overall, I bought this as I want to think it’s something I use, and I definitely want to practice gratitude a bit more, and focus on building new habits. However, I can see myself finding it a bit of a chore as the months progress. I think you have to be really committed to using this planner to get your moneys worth. If you just want something to jot down what you’re doing that day, you’re better off just buying a normal diary, or using your phone!

Really love this planner, I loved making a bullet journal but actually didn’t always have time to make monthly/weekly spreads myself but this has the feel of a bullet journal with the spreads already done. I can jazz them up a bit if I want. The goal section is great, again something I would do in my bullet journal but handily already done for me! The bonus is the blank dotted pages included for all those other collections I would rather spend my time creating! The paper is great quality, I’ve used a black gel pen on it and nothing shows through, even when I made a mistake filling in a date (eek!) and had to go over it, it didn’t show through. The cover is gorgeous. A really lovely rose gold. It feels soft and expensive. Loving the three place holder ribbons, I keep one on my goals, one for the month and one for the week- perfect! I am a bit of a diary/notebook addict and asked myself if I really needed another one. The answer is; yes I did. I’m glad I got this one, it has everything I need already set up so I can spend time actually working on the goals and my to do list with space to do the artsy creative bits in the back too.

Feels like high quality material. Very happy with it.

Cela faisait plusieurs mois que je cherchais un planificateur qui me permettrait de condenser toute mon activité professionnelle en un seul et même endroit et de le compléter avec des objectifs plus personnels également, afin d'y voir plus clair et de ne plus m'éparpiller dans tous les sens et de procrastiner. Après de nombreuses recherches, j'ai enfin trouvé mon bonheur avec celui-ci car il fonctionne comme un guide d'orientation de mon activité au quotidien. En fait il permet une organisation à tous les niveaux : - Sur le plan technico-professionnel (avec la description des tâches, objectifs, priorités et les points à améliorer, etc.) - Sur le développement personnel, car il permet également de poser une réflexion sur ses propres motivations, sa visions, ses succès visés, etc. - Sur le plan plus personnel, on peut définir des objectifs généraux en termes de santé, famille, finance, spriritualité, etc... On avance et on s'améliore constamment en se posant les bonnes questions. C'est vraiment un travail effectué en profondeur et on vérifie une progression et amélioration d'une semaine sur l'autre car tout est organisé. Pour ce qui est des ses caractéristiques, ce planificateur est de très bonne qualité, y compris au niveau des finitions. Il est superbement emballé et rangé dans une boîte blanche en carton qui le protège à la perfection. On y trouve une fiche "mode d'emploi" - en anglais - avec des exemples qui facilitent son utilisation puis 3 planches d'autocollants qui nous permettent d'agrémenter les pages. Il est très beau, la couleur (violet) est sublime. La couverture est bien rigide et de bonne qualité, et sa texture et douce. L'élastique latéral est parfait et permet d'y ranger sont stylo préféré pour le garder à portée de main. Il y a aussi 3 petits rubans (chose rare!) qui fonctionnent comme des marques pages et qui sont très pratiques pour retrouver facilement les parties auxquelles ont se reporte le plus. Il y a une petit pochette intérieure à la fin du planificateur qui permet de ranger des petits documents, post-its qui s'avère être bien pratique. Ce planificateur est devenu mon compagnon idéal, je ne peux plus vivre sans lui. :)

UPDATE: PHEW it's been a whole year already! This planner has been carried around with me EVERYWHERE for the last year. No joke, it's in my backpack that is treated like a purse/shopping bag/luggage daily. This planner has held up phenomenally. Looking back, I was worried that I would run out of dotted pages at the back so I used them sparingly and now I have about ten left over that I could have filled. I've added two new photos that show the 1-yr old planner and the brand new one I just opened. Funny enough, as I was flipping through last night the first sign of wear and damage appeared, the ribbon attachment came out of the spine. Was this earlier I would glue it back in easy-peasy but there's only two weeks left to use and it tucked back in just fine. One thing I noticed after getting the dated planner for my daughter is that the undated monthly sections are in the front as a single section and on the dated calendar they are right before the month starts. I find that I did not use the month-view as much as I had anticipated though I lived by the week-view and habits. On the dated planner I feel I would have used it more. But hey, I love writing my months out and the dates manually in orange pen so this is what I've got. Another thing to note, I am unexpectedly struggling to start the new planner as it means having to face letting this one go and it's become such a part of my life that it feels like grieving a loss of a companion. Crazy yet true, oh the emotional attachment to random things we acquire... ORIGINAL: Finally, a planner that I love and use almost daily! I have to admit to the almost since I'm still developing the habit and fell off the wagon for a week but that's normal with any habit. This planner is exactly what I needed to get my life together and feel less overwhelmed. I have struggled with having a miriad if things started and impaired time management when planning (I call it ambition, my husband tells me it's unrealistic) out projects. The good: It's a fox and it's orange! Not only will this help you keep track of appointments, it helps you truly organize your life. Beginning with a section to identify your goals for the year and the most important of them, you are then prompted to break them down into smaller goals for each week and month. This is something that I desperately needed and didn't realize, a way to stay on track for goals and not get sidetracked as easily. Each week has an entire page devoted to identify, completing, and evaluating the important items and tasks for the week. I love tracking my daily habits that I'm working on improving and having them as a visual reminder each time I check my planner. The ribbons are great for separating each section (month, week, and notes). The back section I've been purposing into lists so far, things to write down and reference every so often. Gets it out of my mind and not lost or forgotten! I love the feel of the pages and the planner feels soft yet solid in your hand. Maybe you aren't that aesthetically picky but I know that I use something more when I enjoy touching or looking at it. The cons: You as the user are responsible for your own destiny and have to force yourself to use this planner, it won't force itself upon you. If you have perfectionist tendencies you may feel like you can't start using it until you complete the first section of outlining your goals for the year but don't let that stop you, take it in bite sizes if needed. If you get a lighter color journal and carry it around with you everywhere it will get marks on it. Doesn't bother me as I adore the orange but it's worth noting you might want the black if you don't want to see any wear.

Ho deciso di dare una svolta alla mia vita cominciando a mettere per iscritto i miei obiettivi e studiando come poterli raggiungere. A tale scopo ero alla ricerca di un'agenda con un layout impostato che mi aiutasse ad avere uno schema logico da seguire. Devo dire che l'agenda Clever Fox ha soddisfatto appieno le mie aspettative! Il prodotto arriva in una elegante e robusta scatola con il marchi "Clever Fox" che denota la qualità del prodotto e la rende adatta anche ad un eventuale regalo. Al suo interno troviamo: l'agenda, una guida che ti aiuta a capire come iniziare a compilarla e tre pagine di stickers adesivi per marcare obiettivi e traguardi. L'agenda presenta una copertina rigida e piacevole al tatto molto simile ad una nota marca di agende che costano il triplo. Al suo interno, le pagine sono anch'esse di una qualità super: sono molto robuste, la rilegatura è ben fatta e sono presenti tre segnapagina per velocizzare l'apertura sulla sezione di interesse. L'agenda è divisa in sezioni: abbiamo una prima parte personale dedicata a capire sé stessi, a stabilire gli obiettivi e come raggiungerli e anche delle pagine dedicate alle mappe mentali; una seconda parte è dedicata al planning mensile; la terza al planning settimanale; la quarta ed ultima parte sono fogli in bianco per scrivere note o pensieri. La parte anno, mese, giorno è lasciata in bianco cosa che trovo molto utile perché così siete voi a decidere quando cominciare ad usarla. Le sezioni sono ben organizzate e presentano molti spazi in cui continuare a monitorare i vostri traguardi e come migliorare per raggiungerli. Molti si lamentano che lo spazio dedicato agli impegni settimanali sia poco, ma ricordo che vi è un'intera sezione di fogli "note" in cui poter continuare a scrivere qualora lo spazio non bastasse. Personalmente lo trovo adeguato. La guida (in lingua inglese di facile comprensione) e molto utile e di facile comprensione, con esempi ed immagini esplicative per poter iniziare nel migliore dei modi. Personalmente trovo molto utile il fatto che l'agenda sia pre-impostata consentendo così di concentrarmi solo sulla compilazione dei miei obiettivi, impegni, traguardi e analisi del progresso personale. Sono super soddisfatto dell'acquisto sia per la qualità del prodotto e l'attenzione ai particolari, sia per il prezzo di acquisto. Io l'ho trovata in offerta, ma anche a prezzo pieno il costo è veramente competitivo e la spesa vale davvero. Consigliata a tutti coloro che vogliono un'agenda per gli impegni ma allo stesso tempo amano tenere sotto controllo i propri obiettivi ed avere un mezzo per poter scrivere i propri pensieri! Spero che questa recensione vi sia stata UTILE :)

El planificador está entre una agenda y un bullet journal, lleva la vista mensual y la semanal marcadas pero sin fecha, tiene sección de propósitos, agradecimiento, tracker de hábitos, todo lo que más cuesta preparar en un bullet. Y al final tiene un montón de hojas punteadas en blanco para poder hacer listas o lo que quieras. En la contraportada posterior lleva un bolsillo como las Leuchtturm y lleva tres cintas marcapáginas de diferentes colores. El papel es grueso, con lo que no traspasa, se queda bien abierta cuando escribes y las tapas son acolchaditas, como si fueran de piel. Lleva goma para cerrarla y elástico para bolígrafo. El tamaño es A5 y viene en una caja blanca muy elegante con tres láminas de pegatinas. Me ha gustado mucho. Aún no la he utilizado pero cumple mis espectativas. Casi con toda seguridad el próximo año volveré a comprarla.
