TOP 5 WEEKLY PLANNERS | 2024

[@SarahSquarah]

You should do a “top 5 under $30” for those (of us) who love Erin Condren types but can’t afford them!! 😅❤

[@AmandasFavorites]

I love this idea! I will keep it mind for next year...I will say right now EC is running their Black Friday Sale early for Insiders...ending today and then it will open to the public- not sure what day...I will keep you updated on Instagram. But you can sign up to be an insider on their site and it costs nothing;) Their sale is 35% OFF this year and you can stick my $10 OFF coupon if it's your first purchase and that would make their coiled planner less than $30! And their softbound planners are $20 without my coupon! Best time to buy:)

My favorite weekly planner still is the Passion planner. I used it as a PhD student, I used it as a professor, and I use it now working on grants. It’s so flexible and useful for so many different types of people! And the layout just works for me. It’s not too cutesy or young and you can choose from a variety of covers and sizes. I have a grey Monday start medium. I’ve played around in a hobonichi cousin, plum paper, Erin condren, etc. but for weekly, I always come back to passion planner.

[@patriciaweston27]

I love how you focused on your top 3 qualities of each. I've learned so much from your reviews, and credit you with my re-introduction to Erin Condren weekly, which I've been using for the past 5 years now. I also like She Plans daily sheets (also thanks to one of your review videos), and I picked up one of your Ashley Shelly collabs for my mom. Big thank you for all your work in creating this content!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Awwww, Patricia thank you for those kind words:) I have loved getting to know you on the Patreon Zooms...and really enjoy learning from you there too:) Sending a hug xxx. Have a good week my friend.

Hi Amanda, while I'm a frequent KZbin viewer I actually haven't been on Patreon--I'll be sure to check it out soon! ☺

[@ange1iatrinidad]

Thank you for making such a comprehensive list and also featuring my company Passion Planner!! ♥️🙏🏽 I really appreciate you taking the time to share your honest thoughts about it. I wish that you had a channel so long ago when I was looking for a planner before I started Passion Planner because your videos are so detailed that I have such a clear understanding of everything before buying something so I just wanted to say thank you for the effort you put into these!! 🎉

[@AmandasFavorites]

Wow! Thank you so much Angelia:) I have loved and used Passion Planner myself several times over the years! Great job on a planner and a company that gives back so much:) Happy Holidays to you and yours. xxx

TulaXii is my top planner I love that they have lots of layouts to choose from and that I can put them in any order I choose in my cover

[@AmandasFavorites]

I've heard several people mention them! I will put them on my review list for next year...My list is growing long already! LOL.

[@kimfields1000]

Laurel Denise Vertical is my fave weekly planner!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Love LD:) Thanks for watching and chiming in:)

[@SamisSweetLife]

I totally was inspired by you and did top planner faves last year and plan on doing it again (always credit you for giving me the idea!). Was planning on getting mine posted next week. 🤣 Can't wait to watch after I get my videos finished up!!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Aw, thank you Sami;) I will definitely have to pop over and watch yours!

[@karendavidson6580]

This will be my first year in a weekly planner. I'm trying Sterling Ink vertical. That Passion Planner cover is beautiful ❤️ Thanks for the video.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Sterling Ink is so beloved already! I haven't seen one in person- but hopefully will review it someday in the future;) Enjoy it!

[@chloejordan5515]

I'm a daily girl but I love the makselife weekly - I think you're right, they just utilize the space really well. I also love the flexibility of plum paper - so many options!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Hey Chloe:) I love hearing why you like the Makelife weekly...even being a daily gal! And Plum Paper is so fun with all the customization and choices;)

[@KimonDidIt]

Have you ever reviewed Sol Planners? I think they are beautiful, but I would love to hear what you think.

[@rachvoulo]

My favorite weekly for a few years has been the sprouted horizontal weekly and the unbound planner!

[@AmandasFavorites]

love both of those;) Such great planners! Thanks for watching and chiming in:)

[@SoniaMiya]

Love this video Amanda! ☺️❤️👏🏼✨ I’m using quite the array of weekly planners lol I use Planner Perfect for scripting my week etc, I use Cocoa Daisy weekly and Daily inserts for my A5 ring system, and I also have a Laurel Denise for my home life and my son. Aaand… I use MakseLife for my goals and projects and documenting wins and gratitudes but especially progress on my goals. ✨

Amanda, your video is making me want to go into all the different planners! 😂 There are so many good ones out there with wonderful, unique features that’s is hard to stick with just one. Great video with a wonderful selection of planners. Well done! And your mic sounds great!!

[@AmandasFavorites]

I understand Jana! I mean even I want to pull them out and try each one often. All these planners are just that good! But I know you are great with finding what works in the season you are in and being happy in that one;) And thanks for the feedback on the Elgato mic:) Have a good week friend!

[@queenfroglady6]

I always enjoy watching your planner reviews and top picks each year... I'm always on the hunt for the perfect planner. My favorites are Happy Planner and Makselife. Happy Planner has am endless amount of designs and layouts, and discbound option allows you to move things around, insert pages, folders and envelopes. I tried Makselife because of your reviews and love this goal + planning system so much! I also used Plum Paper for my work planner the past 2 years because of the personalization ability including adding your own list of birthdays and holidays to the monthly calendars. However, I have found their paper quality to not be as hardy as other planners (if you need to remove a sticker it always tears!) I tried Erin Condren for a few years but got tired of being forced into their set box layout which stifled my creative planning. I'm adding an Archer & Olive planner to my lineup this year and excited to use it. Happy Planning and happy holidays!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Hi:) Thank you so much for taking time to share what you have loved and why you enjoy each one...and the problems from some of them:) LOVED hearing these thoughts:) I've never had an Archer & Olive planner but I have used and reviewed a journal of theirs...love it:) Have beautiful holidays!

[@karencoins6814]

Colibri planner. Such a nice font, paper texture, and extras!

[@AmandasFavorites]

I've seen their ads so much lately! Hopefully I can review them next year:) Thanks for watching and chiming in;)

[@JunkJournalTreasures]

Great video! Im liking She's In Her Apron and also Colibri Weekly! xx

[@AmandasFavorites]

I've reviewed She's in her Apron here on KZbin and it's a great unique planner! The Colibri I've only seen online and haven't reviewed it yet;) It looks like a great planner! Thanks for watching and taking time to chime in:)

[@kfouquette]

I love seeing all of the different options! I'm so tempted by a few of these, but I'm in love with the Hourly Weekly by Sprouted Planners. It just works so well for appointment tracking and time blocking for a whole week. The separate weekly "to-do" section is how I track my work and personal tasks. The simple, white background is perfect for decorating (but I never do - I like my planner simple ;) )

[@dsimone3720]

That’s good to hear. I got Passion Planner weekly but struggled between choosing Sprouted Hourly. The columns seemed a bit too small but it may just be how the video looks. The binding and everything on SP hourly seems great but ultimately the lower price (PP was on sale when I bought it) ultimately won.

[@AmandasFavorites]

I remember when you first started with Sprouted Hourly in the unique spread! And now it's evolved and I hope you like the 2024 layout as much as the academic :) I agree that the layout is wonderful!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Passion Planner is great too:) I've loved it and used it! And if you want bigger columns then you will enjoy it:) I hope it serves you well! And maybe Sprouted the next year?!

[@kfouquette]

@@dsimone3720 the Sprouted Hourly columns are a little small but they will be a tiny bit bigger in 2024. It wasn't hard to make the columns work - especially when I can see a full week at once plus a weekly to-do list. PP was a close second but I didn't like the black time markings and needed more space for each hour block. Hope you love your PP tho!

[@dsimone3720]

@@kfouquette Oh that's good to know. I listened to Best Laid Plans and I heard her say that the planner is a little larger when laid out and minus the spiral binding the columns are probably not bad. I also read that she will consider doing Monday start on the month to match the week. I prefer Monday starts but can work with Sunday starts as long as they match. I write things in the wrong place when they don't. I also was nervous about the dark shading with PP but surprisingly not that I have it in front of me--not too bad. The gray shading behind the hours actually makes it a little easier for me to read.

[@phyllisullery9963]

I love using the large Passion Planner. I love the space it offers for lists,etc.

[@AmandasFavorites]

That really is a great planner! And the large has so much room:) Thanks for watching and taking time to chime in.

[@SpaciousPlanning]

I love these big comparison videos. They're so helpful to get a quick snapshot of what's out there. I'm going to be in the Sprouted hourly in 2024 for my weekly (changing from the Erin Condren hourly) And probably back to just a notepad for my work weekly.

[@AmandasFavorites]

I love that you are giving sprouted a try from EC;) I personally love the Sprouted Hourly and have already filled out like 3 weeks in it myself- testing it to see if it could work for me becuase I love it a lot!

[@sharonmitchel1377]

I wish I had seen this before I bought my planner for 2024. Excellent reviews that help me understand and appreciate the difference. I do like discbound so I can move pages in and out.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Hi Sharon;) I do these videos every year right before black Friday. I am sorry it was too late to help you for 2024! It's good to always get ideas for the next year.

[@traceysmith311]

Great video. I love ERIN Condron’s planners. They are so beautiful, but I have never been able to use one because that big huge spiral just makes the whole thing so heavy I wish she would make a slimmer version and then I would probably give one a try.

[@AmandasFavorites]

You should give her softbound planners a try when they come out in the fall!

The Laurel Denise needs more manual set up but i think it will be a fun process.

I am loving planner perfect weekly spreads from her sub box! I always gravitated towards vertical weekly layouts, but after being in planner perfect, I've become a horizontal girl. Funny, because I was initially thinking I would mainly use the daily pages, but I reference those weekly layouts constantly when planning my days out!

I've watched a couple of your videos, as I'm looking at options for 2024. I've been using the Full Focus Planner from Michael Hyatt & Co for several years (quarterly bound books) but I'm looking for something different for a few reasons. I like that Hemlock & Oak is local to me (which means there are a couple of places I can go to check out their products in person before committing) but it's another bound book and this was one of the reasons why I wanted something different. I'm seriously considering something that is coil-bound, disk-bound, ring-bound or whatever, so I can move things around, add things in, etc to customize the planner to my needs.

[@CieisMe]

Hi Amanda! Decided to watch while I had my lunch instead of working, Ha! It warmed up here again and I am feeling MUCH better! The other planner I couldn't remember? Plum Paper, 😂 So yes, your videos work! Plum's paper is too slick so I had to give it a pass. I would be interested in GC, Makselife, or AS, but I don't want THAT COIL. I did jump back into my Hobo Cousin and decided to try it for at least two weeks - just it - and NOT using the Take A Note and Jibun Techo to see if it could take their place, so far it's not working but it's only been two days, 😂, so I really need to keep going with it. But you're right it DID keep me from buying another planner. I did make a purchase for my daily that I think is going to work really well - I found these grid A5 notebooks on Amazon with fountain pen friendly paper in them. I've used it for a week now and it's doing the job nicely, ☺, it's also the same size as the Cousin so I can slide it inside the Cousin cover and they stay together. I'll tell you, I was ALWAYS a spiral bound gal until that EC coil made me think otherwise. Even my girlie is shocked by the change because she would show me bound journals or planners (we used to work at B&N together at Christmastime) and I'd wouldn't even LOOK at them. Now that's all I look at! 😂😂😂 As always, Amanda, THANK YOU for your hard work and I hope you are enjoying having Pierce home!

[@Chaos_and_Creativity]

Look into wonderland222 for a very close comparison to hobonichi... I just love the months are together with the weeks, not up front together, they have enough daily pages for every day of the year but it's undated so you don't have to feel bad if you miss a day or two!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Hi Cie:) I always love hearing your thoughts and what you are in:) And I am so glad you are feeling better! And I had to laugh about the staying in the Cousin for a full week!

What would you recommend for a full time working mom with 5 kids and 4 of those kids play 1 or 2 sports? Also I’m new to planning, but I need help. Any suggestions for anyone is highly welcomed! THANKS!

[@AmandasFavorites]

I am happy to give suggestions:) With how busy you are I think you want a weekly view for sure. So here are some weekly planners I would consider...Laurel Denise (if you want to see your entire monthly with your week layout)- this is a great feature- but You don't have a huge weekly layout to list all events. If you write on the smaller side Laurel Denise could still work;) Passion Planner is another great weekly layout with an hourly layout to map out all the sports games & room for your weekly list too. MomAgenda is another great vertical weekly layout- but they only have blocks for 4 kids- but you could draw in an extra block and that might work well to keep track of where is kid is supposed to be each day. Golden Coil is one you can customize- so you can choose the exact layout you want and add extra pages weekly or monthly like meal planning or just room for lists.Those would be my top picks off the top of my head...I am traveling right now and not at home (getting my oldest set up for his first semester of college;) So I can't look in my planner shelves and brainstorm. I have detailed reviews on all those planners and discount codes on most too:) Best of luck on the decision & Happy New Year!

I love your videos, but why don’t you include Japanese, German, and Korean planners? Byfulldesign, Hobonichi Techo, and Delfonics (by Roterfaden) are all pretty amazing. As someone who uses fountain pens and fineliners exclusively, paper by Midori or Tombow paper is just divine.

[@AmandasFavorites]

I have reviewed some. I have a full Hobonichi Playlist. I have reviewed Jibun & Take A Note. I don't have as many because I am not a fountain pen user myself and don't gravitate towards those planners. But I do love hearing what you want to see and take that into consideration. Thank you for watching and for taking time to chime in and tell me what planners you are interested in. Happy New Year;)

[@feet300]

@@AmandasFavorites Oh! I must have missed those, but I’ll go hunt them up. I do highly recommend the Delfonics planners. They’re too expensive for me this year ($47) but it’s got gorgeous paper, flexibility, room for ideas, etc., without being overly scripted. Mossery is another interesting option I considered this year, before deciding on a much simpler, cheap option…that I now kinda regret, because I need a touch more. It’s really hard to find a perfect match when your days are oriented around a variety of hustles as opposed to timeblocks. I really appreciate your hard work on these videos, I’ve been watching them for years, and you’re one of a handful of reviewers I trust for reliable recommendations.

[@Giggra]

Look forward to this video every year. I want them all. Lol

[@AmandasFavorites]

Aw, I love hearing that you look forward to it! Thanks for being here;) And it is hard to not want them all! I agree;)

[@Bobby_The_Cat]

I love your videos 💕 Thanks to you I discovered Makselife and Jmb Living journal.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Aw, you are so welcome:) That makes me very happy that you discovered those 2 companies through me!

[@MadeUpLikeADoll]

Amanda, could you help explain the building of pages 1-6 when doing add-ons? I can't seem to get an email response from Golden Coil. If the page limit is 242 and i want for example budget, and 4 weeks of wellness tracking covering each month in the planner, how many pages is that, and will it be at the beginning or the end of let's say February? If i want something like 2 pages for passwords at the back of the planner is it literally 2 pages or 4? The add on’s are a bit confusing for me which is causing me not to complete my order.

[@AmandasFavorites]

I am so sorry this has been a struggle! I don't want to give the wrong answer and I am not an expert. I would have to get on the site with you and build this out and then I *might* be able to explain it...lol. I would say to build it out as you wish and then go all the way to the end and it will generate you planner completed for you to flip through each page digitally. Does that make sense...did you get to that point? Then you can see exactly where pages are going and how many are there. I would also DM them on Instagram if you haven't gotten an email response. They have always answered me there. And tell them you have tried to email! I am sorry I can't be more help. I really hope you can get in touch with them and build out the planner you want! xxx

[@MadeUpLikeADoll]

@@AmandasFavorites it won't show me the preview because the page count exceeded 242. I went in and removed 3, then 4 months making the planner cover 8 or 9 months, and the page count didn't go down, in numbers, so I'm doing something wrong

[@cindianderson5715]

Does MomAgenda release their next planner in July of 2024 or not til January of 2025? Ty!

[@AmandasFavorites]

They are actually launching very soon! I am not sure they have announced their date yet...But I can tell you my review video on the launch is April 2nd! They have 18 month planners...so they start in July 2024- and go through the end of December;)

I want to try to Laural Denise planner but the size kills me! I don't have the desk space for something of that size :(

[@AmandasFavorites]

When it's folded over it's just the same size as my MomAgenda (7x9) bound that is open on my desk;) But I understand if it won't fit. And it is big when opened all the way;)

[@baus7]

Is there a daily with a weekly and monthly snapshot?

[@AmandasFavorites]

All dailies have monthly layouts;) And I do have a Top 5 Daily Planners video too for 2024:) But some dailies that have a weekly dashboard also are: Sprouted Planner, She Plans notebook or discbound planners, Take A Note, Hobonichi Cousin, Bella grace Planners....those are all off the top of my head;) I do have reviews on all of those. Good luck!

[@baus7]

@@AmandasFavorites thank you so much!

[@lizbellee]

Do you know any good weekly planners that have sunday start?

[@AmandasFavorites]

Sunday Start on the Week view...there are some;) Passion Planner, Commit30 both have this option....Plum Paper I think has this option. Any undated planner you could make a sunday start;) Those are the only ones off the top of my head. I know there are more out there...just I haven't reviewed them or they aren't coming to mind;) Thanks for watching! I hope this helps some.

[@lizbellee]

@@AmandasFavorites thank you!

[@Teresa_Kaye]

Passionate Penny Pincher has Sunday start also 😊

[@AandEKline]

In addition to the ones Amanda mentioned, a few other Sunday start weekly and monthly layout planners I have seen are Passionate Penny Pincher, Old Fashioned on Purpose planner (from the Prairie Homestead), and Horacio Printing Dream Planner vertical layout (horizontal layout is a Monday start weekly), and Christian Planner. I think agendio may also let you pick Sunday start, but am not certain about that planner.

[@rosemarysoto8912]

Do you have a list of Sunday start planners?

[@AmandasFavorites]

I don't...are you asking Sunday start on the weekly layout? Plum Paper (I think has this choice), Laurel Denise, Passion Planner, & Commit 30 all have a Sunday start for both Weekly & Monthly. Those are some off the top of my head....Hope that helps some;)

The EC mix colors from one month to another is a major dislike for me ( when you have a month that starts in the same week as the previous month )

[@Chaos_and_Creativity]

You can get the canvas style and it comes without colors.

[@AmandasFavorites]

I love hearing an opposite viewpoint from mine;) And they do make a canvas design this year with no colors- it's so clean looking!

[@AmandasFavorites]

What weekly planner would you add to this list?

[@Chaos_and_Creativity]

Wonderland222!!!

[@blimeyifancyreading]

Great list! Why do you support Erin Condren after her racism statement?

[@AmandasFavorites]

Erin Condren doesn't even own this company anymore. It has her name on it- but she sold her ownership.

[@katsmith8263]

I can't believe you're missed Sterlink Ink Common planner and Wonderland 222!!!!!!! Have you made reviews on them? P.S.oh, I saw you don't. It would be great to watch the reviews on them as the best latest planners too😢😢 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢

[@Chaos_and_Creativity]

YESSSS WONDERLAND222 I'm so upset I haven't been able to purchase one yet. I want it so badly!!!

[@Chaos_and_Creativity]

And she does know the planner community, and it's latest things .. she just doesn't use sterling ink or wonderland, so she wouldn't be the person to review it... There are hundreds of other KZbinrs who view and review those planners... Just seems a bit rude to call her out and say she doesn't keep up with something when clearly this is HER view on what SHE likes best... Not everyone else in the planner community. Just saying.

[@katsmith8263]

​​@@Chaos_and_Creativityyes, but she shows the best planners .... Without knowing the latest and greatest....so ..... If she call the video "the best planners" without knowing the latest and greatest planners, then it's not "the best planners", she should make at least an attempt to know what is on the market. Yes, it's tough love from me as a long time subscriber

[@katsmith8263]

@@janablanco3946 yes, also she writes that it's the best planners for 2024, without knowing what is the latest and greatest in the market for sale. All of these planners are not that new on the market.

[@MylinhMendoza-cm3uh]

I’m sure she’s well aware of the planners. She states throughout all her videos and planner reviews how much she likes thick paper, so it’s doubtful that she likes the thin paper of hobonichi, wonderland, sterling ink, etc. She has her preferences and doesn’t do reviews of planners that don’t suit her tastes.

[@KimonDidIt]

Have you ever reviewed Sol Planners? I think they are beautiful, but I would love to hear what you think.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Not yet! I will put them on my list for next year to look at;) Thanks for watching and taking time to share!
