The Little Calm and Happy Planner – Weekly and Monthly Undated Productivity Planner Habit Tracker, Journal Notebook for Happiness, Motivation, Productivity and Life Balance – A5 (Black)

I'm really pleased with this journal which I bought to track my mood, for reflection and gratitude journaling. It was a little more expensive than I was hoping to spend, but it seemed to fit everything that I wanted. I chose the blue which is soft and feels lovely to the touch. Inside the paper is really thick and nice to write on. I like the simplicity of the inside - there's space for goals and other directed writing, but there are also blank pages at the back so that you can write your own thoughts. The monthly and weekly journal pages don't have dates and there is space to write your own, which is really nice as I bought this in April, so I didn't want something that would start in January and have wasted pages. there are 3 pretty blue ribbons to mark pages which is a really nice touch. Overall, a lovely journal.

I bought the Calm and Happy Planner to help improve my life balance. It helps me organise my month, and week to be more productive. The really good thing though it that is helps me also prioritise some self-care so I don’t burn out. It’s all common sense really but it gives you the format to do it. I like the habit tacker and also some gratitude prompts to keep me grounded. It also tells you to set your self-care intention each week. It’s early days but I’ve set some big goals for the next 12 months and have some affirmations to help keep me on track. The proof will be whether I achieve them! I really have become more productive and motivated. I use it 7 days a week as I’m busy sorting out lots of things with the family now things are a bit more normal again! It becomes part of my daily routine and there is lots of room for to do lists and things you want to do each day. Looking forward to being a more happy me! The mind map is also fun for some pipe dreams too!

Loved this. Great journal. Very neat.

I like planners. I’ve bought a lot of them. I’m not always good at using them but I like them. I like that this one is not dated. So when I don’t plan for a week or two, I don’t have blank pages staring at me, accusing me of sloth. I can just enter this week’s and get on with it. It has three ribbons to help you find your place. I also like its emphasis on being grateful, taking self care as well as getting things done. Only thing I don’t like so far is the Monday through Sunday layout. Would prefer a Sunday- Saturday. On the monthly layout, I fixed that with planner stickers that have the days of the week on them. (Bought a package of stickers hoping those would make a planner more fun to use…) Good so far.

Well laid out and plenty of writing room beautifully presented

I was looking for a journal that I didn’t have to commit to filling in everyday as realistically it’s not something I can do. This journal is perfect, undated, and I only fill it once a week to plan for my week ahead and fill in as and when I want to without feeling pressure if I miss a week/ day that I don’t or forget to fill in. Its lovely quality and feels nice to touch. If allows you to check in how you’re doing on your goals at various points throughout it. Love the page layout and the ways it’s formatted. Highly recommend

I thought I would try a change after having a Legend weekly planner for the last year. I don't wish to trash this as I'm sure some people will be very happy with it. It's a bright cheery blue and the quality of paper is good (though unfortunately there seems to be no use of recycled paper). Unfortunately, as my eyesight is not the best I find the very faint dotted pages in all note sections very difficult to see at all. A lot of the earlier sections are completely lacking in any lines or dots so it will be impossible for me to write reasonably here resulting in a mess, and I would rather a clear border between days in the weekly planner sections. The binding doesn't allow the planner to stay open easily. I wish it had been easier to see details of the planner before purchasing. I suspect I will try a different planner next year.

This diary/planner is perfect for me. For reference, I am self-employed and work from home 90% of the time. I'd say this diary is really good for someone who has a busy mind - if you follow the directions of it (build-in prompts; feels like you're filling in a worksheet), the planner feel like an extension of your mind that you can put down on your bedside table and forget about. If you know exactly what I mean by that last sentence, I strongly suggest you give it a try. 5/5 - will buy another in 12 months.
