It has three pages per month and then a section in the way back with more note pages. Each weekly spread has a little section for notes, too. I'm not sure if that would be enough though. It depends how many meetings you have per month and how big you write. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2546877 Thu, 12 May 2016 05:38:35 +0000 ValentineMommy 2546877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an Erin Condren planner and was also freaked out by the price. I can honestly say that I use it pretty much daily, and it's definitely helped me get my sh*t together. I am much more organized than I was before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2546776 Wed, 11 May 2016 21:12:18 +0000 Mrs D 2546776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my plum paper planner!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2546747 Wed, 11 May 2016 20:21:53 +0000 Ash 2546747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: oooooooooooooohhhhh!!!!!! I hope you love it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2546700 Wed, 11 May 2016 18:52:28 +0000 Cole 2546700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Grizzly Bear: try searching for codes, I bought an inkwell press calendar and definitely didn't pay full price for it. Maybe 15% off? It wasn't a tremendous amount off but it helped! </p> <p>I do love it, it is such a lovely book. I honestly don't use it as much as I could but it certainly makes me very happy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2546692 Wed, 11 May 2016 18:43:13 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2546692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going into a new sticker shock. I got as far as putting it in a cart and calculating what shipping would cost? In addition to the $54 it takes an additional $9.50 to ship it. And that isn't including tax. Without tax but with shipping that makes it $63.50 :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2546660 Wed, 11 May 2016 17:41:28 +0000 FannyMae 2546660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: I'm in Australia, so I haven't heard of that before. I can order it from amazon as they have it on international shipping. I can't find any retailers here that sell 18 month planners from mid-year, only online from the US. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2546183 Wed, 11 May 2016 11:08:13 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2546183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingnanny: Just wondering, how are these for taking notes? I love planners like this but I really need a fair amount of notetaking space for meetings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2546179 Wed, 11 May 2016 11:04:00 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2546179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I geek out over planners! mochithings.com has some pretty affordable ones that are super cute. My current one is the Action Method notebook. It doesn't have a calendar function and is great for taking notes, which is important to me in my work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2546176 Wed, 11 May 2016 11:01:18 +0000 bloved 2546176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: just clicked over and I think you sold me on their teacher planner! I love that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2546060 Wed, 11 May 2016 09:25:29 +0000 avivoca 2546060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like my Plum Paper Planner. You can customize them, but the base price for a weekly planner is $31. Teacher planners are $16.</p> <p><a href="http://www.plumpaper.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.plumpaper.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2546055 Wed, 11 May 2016 09:17:43 +0000 hellobeeboston 2546055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Grizzly Bear: that is a gorgeous planner - but cannot justify $54... i'm also in the market for a good planner but thinking about making my own and getting it printed at a print shop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545983 Wed, 11 May 2016 08:23:26 +0000 Ash 2545983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: if you have a hobby lobby, you can get it for 40% off. I think I paid like $17/18. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545970 Wed, 11 May 2016 08:05:11 +0000 FannyMae 2545970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: I might go for it then, as mine just sits on a shelf in my kitchen for reference- I don't take it anywhere at all. $27 US plus shipping, I think that's pretty reasonable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545947 Wed, 11 May 2016 07:31:39 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2545947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Grizzly Bear: for the cheap ones, I liked the At A Glance. But they are still $20 or so. Not as sturdy to write on but nice </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545875 Wed, 11 May 2016 01:07:15 +0000 Ash 2545875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: they are kind of clunky but I don't take mine out of the house so it doesn't bother me. If I did, I'd get a smaller one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545872 Wed, 11 May 2016 00:49:46 +0000 FannyMae 2545872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping to update my planner mid year so following this thread. @Ash: I was contemplating buying that planner from Amazon, but not sure about hose rings. They look kinda big and I dunno if they will annoy me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545826 Tue, 10 May 2016 21:26:20 +0000 Ash 2545826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a happy planner. I got it for less than $20 at hobby lobby with a 40% off coupon.<br /> <a href="http://shop.meandmybigideas.com/collections/create-365" rel="nofollow">http://shop.meandmybigideas.com/collections/create-365</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545821 Tue, 10 May 2016 21:12:12 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2545821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caterw: I made the mistake of watching the video showing me all the features... Brilliant advertising. Show me what I'm missing in all the other planners </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545811 Tue, 10 May 2016 20:56:35 +0000 caterw 2545811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now I need this planner too!! I have been trying a wall calendar this year, but I don't like it at all because there just isn't enough space. This looks perfect!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545732 Tue, 10 May 2016 18:53:53 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2545732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: I know, right??? It was love at first sight. </p> <p>@travelingnanny: I hadn't thought of it like that. I will definitely keep the price perspective in mind. Thank you for weighing in! I may pester you tonight or tomorrow with some questions ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545293 Tue, 10 May 2016 13:06:52 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2545293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No recs but holy freaking moly that is stunning. I'm pining for one now myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545244 Tue, 10 May 2016 12:13:19 +0000 travelingnanny 2545244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought an IWP in September and it is worth every penny. I fingered it broke down to roughly $5/ per month which is roughly like buying a cup of coffee. Since I don't buy coffee I justified it being my monthly splurge. I can't even tell you how happy it makes me. The paper quality is amazing, I'm crossing off goals, and staying organized. I love what Tayna stands for and how she presents her brand. I love all the other products she creates, too. I also own a fitness planner and it is really well thought out. I'm just a huge fan. I've own other fancy planners and they do not compare to IWP. I think you should buy one :) </p> <p>If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to answer them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545232 Tue, 10 May 2016 11:56:07 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2545232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bloved: I hadn't! Thank you for the recommendation, I will check them out :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545229 Tue, 10 May 2016 11:51:27 +0000 bloved 2545229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Grizzly Bear: still expensive, but have you<br /> Looked at passion planner? It also lays flat, has goal setting pages, places to reflect, etc. I had one last year and really liked it. </p> <p><a href="http://www.passionplanner.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.passionplanner.com</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545227 Tue, 10 May 2016 11:46:39 +0000 DillonLion 2545227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Grizzly Bear: I see this place recommended sometimes: <a href="http://www.personal-planner.com/US/" rel="nofollow">http://www.personal-planner.com/US/</a></p> <p>It is slightly cheaper and super customize-able. . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545225 Tue, 10 May 2016 11:45:06 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2545225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: I may have to go that route. I just really liked their page for setting goals, that it lays flat, the flex style of scheduling (versus the classic). It just kinda takes the icing aesthetically and it looks like it would last! But seriously... $50+ for a planner? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545222 Tue, 10 May 2016 11:40:48 +0000 DillonLion 2545222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love looking at planners! But agreed, I can't drop $50+ on those things. I get the cheapy ones from Target for like $10. They don't have as many features, but they get the job done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/planners#post-2545218 Tue, 10 May 2016 11:36:25 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2545218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I subscribed to inkWell Press based on a recommendation from a friend and I have to say, I kinda love their planners. They offer cute designs, love the colors, and seem to have a flexible style depending on how you like to organize things. They just came out with their academic planner (June to July 16/17) and I decided to check it out. Stunning! But now I'm left with sticker shock. I realize the paper is probably fantastic, the designs (as I mentioned) vibrant and aesthetically pleasing, and flexible. But really? $54 seems a bit high. Does anyone have a planner they like for less that's similar in style?</p> <p><a href="https://inkwellpress.com/collections/livewell-flex/products/flex-multicolor-triangle-ay17" rel="nofollow">https://inkwellpress.com/collections/livewell-flex/products/flex-multicolor-triangle-ay17</a> </p>
