It's getting to be time to make my 2017 planner purchase! I have used the Passion Planner for the last two years and really love it, but am wondering what other busy mamas use? I'm looking for something that has both full month and daily entries, along with space for notes/lists.

Here's the link to the Passion Planner in case anyone is curious (I'm not affiliated with them at all). http://www.passionplanner.com/shop/ I also really like that they donate a planner to someone in need (often students) for every planner that is purchased.

@NorCalWayfarer: I really like being able to customize what my weekly pages look like. I hate planners that have specific times listed on various lines because I don't always have to schedule anything at those times, so it feels like wasted paper.

I 
my inkwell press planner. She is actually launching into every office depot/ office max on september 14th if you want to go check out one of her planners in person.

I use inkwell too and I really like it! They will have one style in store and one style on their site so check both out.

I use the Commit 30. I like it because it has a lot more room for to-do items than specific time slots, but I never use the goal setting part of it. 
(Not my planner, just a photo from the website)

Erin Condren. I enjoy it. I think I'm going to order the "neutral" theme for 2017.

Moleskine. I've been using them for years. My favorite format is the Dashboard mode.

@emsmems- I had horrible luck with E. Ley' s planner. I ordered a planner and it had errors in it. They sent me a new one and it still had errors in it. I gave up. I've heard that the new models have gone down in quality significantly (ex. the paper quality). I also have some ethical issue with her but I won't get into that.
I suggest looking at the day designer or the purposeful planner if you want a daily planner.

I use the Franklin Covey ones at work and they aren't anything special, but the method works for me.

I have a gold polka dot planner that I love. It's from Kate spade.

@NorCalWayfarer: I use a calendar app on my phone as a planner so much easier to have electronic access to things and be able to sync accross phone/laptop/tablet

I had an Emily Ley planner last year but found the layout really unenjoyable. I'm liking my Get to Work Book this year a lot. http://www.gettoworkbook.com/

@Pancakes: yay! I just picked up my 2017 one today. They changed the stickers this year! I like the style more but they aren't quite as useful as the previous ones.

I used the Day Designer by Whitney English for 2015 and loved it soooo much. But having less going on overall in 2016, I didn't need something as elaborate ($$) so I wanted to find something similar... I found a collaboration between Day Designer and Blue sky - they made a more basic version for only $20. I went with that this year and it's been great. The paper has a bizarre chemical smell but it's not a huge issue.
I did see that target has a collaboration with her now too and they're selling them in stores! I need to check it out and see how similar it is.
