Planner Review | NEW Erin Condren Petite Daily Planners & On The Go Folios | Fall 2019

[@HJPeet]

I’m in cancer remission and that is 100% a great gift for a patient, especially newly diagnosed. It is so *%^#?!* overwhelming to deal with all the moving parts of the medical circus especially while you’re emotional. And if you’ve heard people talk about chemo brain, trust me it’s real. You can’t remember sh*t bc your brain is a chemical fog. That little planner is gold.

[@kirbow]

I adore all of your videos, but listening to your planner videos are like having my head shampooed. You have the BEST voice and do such a descriptive and detailed job in explaining everything. There are times when I need to relax and chill out from overstress and I'll lie on the couch and play your Planner/Journal playlist and it does the trick. Thank you so much..you're amazing!

[@Adevlin1431]

I am so glad that you posted this video. I have been on the fence about buying the new petite planner system. I am sold! I can’t wait to order mine. Thanks Jen! Love your videos!

[@WithWonder]

Nice! I hope you enjoy it 😊

[@__TrishMartinez]

I like the crimped strings. It took adjusting the strings around to be even but it works great.

[@stevienichole]

Thank you so much for sharing your HONEST opinion even though you are a E.C. PR girl. I was debating of moving into their folio style planner from the coiled. I was really wanting to try out the quarterly notebooks, but ERERRRRRTT! Put the brakes on...I have the EXACT same opinion about them as you do and you are right....what sense did it make for these particular changes? Anyway, back to coiled for now. Have a good day!

[@ALoves22]

That zipped accordion folder pockets are perfect as cash envelopes!

[@vickip54]

I would really like a folio. I don’t know what I’d do with all my MANY changeable covers for my life planner. Hate to waste them. I also have no use for most of the petite book titles. I would rather choose my own. I suppose I could buy blank or lined books? But I love the idea of something smaller. I’ve often wanted a smaller version of a life planner. Thank you for the video.

[@flowersafeheart]

Thanks for explaining about how the elastics can't be tightened. Helpful to know. Been eyeing this as one vegan Traveler's Notebook cover option (using just some other brand's blank dot inserts to create all my own bullet journal and calendars).

[@heatherabner]

Would you maybe use the accordion pouch for travel? Maybe even carry on? Medicine, snacks, chargers, pens, maybe even a Kindle?

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Grin & Plan That’s what I was thinking too! Would be fun for traveling!

[@barbaraeddings2274]

What beautiful planners. I'm definitely a pen and paper girl. I would enjoy using the journals and planners so very much. Thank you for offering it.

[@JillianFlodstrom]

I was bummed about the quarterly planners but I’m hoping they release a weekly version soon.

[@User-3kq0xmb2i4]

I have been debating this system because I like having a daily one but would also like a weekly one as well as I like to see my entire week at a glance and then have more space for each day as needed. Was really hoping they would have made a weekly one as well!

[@thehipchickplannergirl9729]

I'm getting the daily petite planner bundle, I'm waiting for payday and also when EC releases next year's wall calendar. I'm still going to use my lp, but will leave that at home and take my petites with me.

[@dampf28]

I would love to see how to use the budget section. What do you use to budget? No need to use real numbers but I would love to watch a " how I budget" video from you!

[@WithWonder]

I highly suggest watching JenPlans (she's linked in the description) - she is amazing at budgeting!

[@lions1310]

😂 I don't think Jen budgets the way most of us budget. I mean I'm currently selling stuff so I can buy groceries. I don't think Jen has to worry about that 😂

[@sweetcandy92xoxo]

I think they have those mini calendar in every daily pages so that way you don't have to keep going back to look at the monthly spread. I think it convenient. Every KZbinr I've seen they complained so much about it the petite planners. It's like no one is ever satisfied.

[@LynetteYoung]

I use Happy Planner and would LOVE to try EC planners (someday!)

[@TheGoldProject]

We are on the go folio twins. I got the same one. ;) Love the mustard color. Great video, Jen.

[@lisablondell2349]

I was hoping they wouldn’t split the weekends this year because it’s why I didn’t go with this system last year. I feel like the changes were for the worse not for the better!

[@bew1972]

Hi! I love the relationship you have with Erin Condren. They trust you enough to share your real, honest opinions and not only that it seems as though they value your honest feedback. That is the mark of a company that truly cares about putting out fantastic products that their customers come back to time and time again. I agree with your view on the design aspects of some of the petite planners. I have only ever used the life planner and the deluxe monthly but am in serious decision making mode now trying to decide what to use for 2020 and the petite planner system is inching up past the life planner at the moment (it'll change 14 times before I actually make a decision on December....who am I kidding, it'll change 14 times by the end of the day!!) For some reason the petite planners both intrigue and terrify me at the same time lol no idea why but they do lol Thanks for another great review!❤️

[@pieceful_puzzling]

There's a really great Facebook group for the Petite Planner peeps for anyone who may want to join! It's currently called Erin Condren Petite Planner Pals.

[@WithWonder]

TFS!

[@rwaggs2623]

I think I'm going to wait for you to review anything I want to buy because you're so thorough and give honest feedback. Thanks, Jen!

[@lindaalberts8770]

I agree with you on daily. Quote in weekend spacs..I'd be bummed too. Calendar also taking space at bottom journal area.

[@DogMom189]

I hope they saw your review about the random calendar and will go back to the blank space in 2021 because I hate it too. It makes it much less functional. I know they want to be different every year but they have to remember functionality FIRST!

[@cazfrankie]

So excited to do a massive order in a couple of weeks when I’m over for a Disney holiday Have wanted these since your first video with them 💕

[@WithWonder]

Wishing you a magical trip! ✨

[@salinacuffy6064]

The calendar doesn’t make sense to me either in the corner. I was bummed out as well. It still useful but I get the disappointment. 😩

[@WimberlyAnn]

Try tying it first to see then cut it. See if there is enough for a knot

[@WithWonder]

Great idea!

[@cme6229]

I am a breast cancer survivor. I wished I would’ve got the Breast Cancer planner. Instead I made my own. So yes, don’t worry about gifting this to a loved one going through breast cancer, it will be appreciated. Thank you for posting.

[@angiewatts3431]

Thanks for pointing out the quote on the weekend. No one else I’ve watched has made note of that. I’m not a fan of this new layout. I’ll be looking for a different daily system 😕

[@WithWonder]

I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment. Hopefully they will make note of our opinions and take that into consideration for next time

[@barbararivera2829]

I always enjoy watching your videos! I got the champagne folio right before it went out of stock! LOL. I absolutely love the petite planner system. I used the LifePlanner for a couple years but I've been on the folio system for about a month now.

[@travellingatthespeedoflife]

So pretty! I love EC stuff but it's so expensive to get here in Australia!

[@lions1310]

Sometimes they have it on Zulily and the shipping is usually only $10.

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

The accordion pouch is super fun! Love the colors!

[@westerngull]

Hey Jen, maybe you could cover the calendar in the planner box with a sticker. At least those box stickers would work. It wouldn't be centered of course, but I could see it working out nicely anyway. Or perhaps, on certain weeks if you wanted the blank space, maybe an avery plain white label would work. Not sure if they have a proper size, but I could see myself doing something like cutting down a name plate blank white sticker and covering it. Then, you could layer your own sticker on top if you wanted. Just some ideas to play around with, although I'm sure you've got it "covered', lol. :)

[@CalliopeFprincessice]

Jen my mom is going through this right now yes she would love the breast cancer journal or planner and yes it would mean a lot to give as a gift to someone going through it it is a very difficult thing to go through she has had a very hard time

[@WithWonder]

Thank you for sharing this - sending you both lots of ❤️

[@cathmackie9791]

I am inspired by your video....I am going over to check out the Erin Condren site now, but I am worried that maybe the cost of shipping to Australia will be a bit too exorbitant. Thanks for your review.

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

I got the sapphire! It's like a dark navy blue.

[@rebeccastafford7887]

I like the red arrow tape wondering where to get it

[@cjeanetteful]

I am using the undated version for next year, much prefer that layout

[@WithWonder]

Yes! That works great! Plus no 2 days per weekend page which is a plus

[@notyourtypicalgranny]

I wish they had a distributor here in Australila so that the postage didn't make them unaffordable. I would love to been able to give my mum the treatment tracking book. She had ovarian cancer but lost her battle a few months ago. She made a diary of her treatment. Writing was very therapeutic for her.

[@LisaInTheSkyMU]

Tracey's Happy Place I have 2 sisters and we all share in the cost of postage to Australia. But the dollar conversion and shipping makes it a bit of a splurge purchase!

[@mrsplanahead]

Do the plastic pockets come with it or do you have to customize in order to get them?

[@PaperRenee]

You mentioned they upgraded the paper and it seems slicker. Can you write on it with a pencil? It sounds weird, but it's hard to find planners with paper that's not slick. I've used a EC Life Planner for years and the paper is perfect for pen and/or pencil.

[@WithWonder]

Yes, you can use a pencil

[@PaperRenee]

@@WithWonder Thank you so much!

[@jadejoseph-bular8246]

You could make a knot on another section without cutting the elastic or the crimp off. Not sure how to describe it tho.

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

From what you showed us, I Iike the old planner layout much better! The hexagon/calendar/quote situation isn’t the best.

[@elizabethtodd1946]

Hey Jen! I've noticed a lot of white noise in the background of your videos. I'm not sure if you switched your sound recording setup but I just thought I'd mention it in case something needs fixing on your end. Thank you!

[@WithWonder]

Hmm...it's probably just my life noise lol. I should look into getting an external mic I think

[@HappyHayleyW]

You could snip the crimp thing out and then just knot them to tighten?

[@jaylc4253]

I just can't decide what I want! I want to try the petite planners but I am a neutral fan. Decisions, decisions!

[@WithWonder]

I'm kind of hoping they'll unveil a new undated petite daily in a neutral theme

[@lfernander1980ify]

I think they charge an extra $5 for personalization now for the platinum, gold and rose gold colors.

[@WithWonder]

Ooh, good catch! I didn't even know they brought back the metallic personalization with foil options. LOVE!

[@Marshalu1]

Thanks for sharing, and the opportunity to win this great prize pack!

[@lindaalberts8770]

Love the Navy with gold stars!

[@bridgette712]

So excited to get my order, and happy about the new paper!

[@WithWonder]

Me too 😊

[@lindaalberts8770]

Good evening Jen. I have a question about Ali Edwards December Daily. You said you do purchase the digitals. What material do you use to print on for transparencies? Is there a certain weight to use of acetate or film? This is all new to me. Thanks.

[@gabriellasplanner5667]

I’m so annoyed with the calendar moving. It eats up space but also I liked having the calendar at the top for each day because It circled the day I was on which as a student is helpful. Now it takes up space and has no purpose. Also annoyed it’ll be harder to adjust the strings

[@les3cs]

First time with an On The Go Folio and Petite Planners. I'm assuming you take them out of the folio to fill in planner details or write the journals? Do you bend them back a little so they lie flatter?

[@jennifercalixto7982]

Best review i have seen

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Love the medical journal idea!

[@athomeimmum2247]

Love planner videos! One of my favourite times of the week is organising my next week in my planner. Perfect 'me time'. I'm not sure I could make a video anywhere near as stylish as this one though. Something to aim for. Lol.

[@Scorpiobabyyyy]

How much ?

[@alexandrademartini7496]

The star folio looks like your old Bujo setup. Not a fan of what they did with the calendar. Not sure why they would make it unbalanced like that.

[@lindaalberts8770]

Annother question? How do you print pictures 6 x 8, 3 x 8, 2 x 2 to fit in the page protectors? These are unusual sizes.

[@MissEllolisoss]

Yay!📒💖☺️✌️

[@shivp22]

Amazing! Upload sync perfect with my baby’s nap time 🤗😁👍🏼

[@aleshiashelburne9832]

Thanks for sharing! Love the daily planners interested in trying out a folio! love all the new goodies :)

[@katek57]

Great review (as always). Thanks for sharing.

[@DisneyLissy]

Thanks for this video. Do you know if they discontinued the petite monthly planner? Are the notebooks you use in the folio the petite lines journals? Thanks

[@dianeandbrad529]

how many weeks does the wellness meal planner go for?

[@stephmrzena7071]

Great review! I also use a petite daily and have the exact same frustrations with the changes. I will probably still use them and adapt, but dang it's a bummer. Thank you so much for your thoughts!

[@WithWonder]

I know we're not the only 2 people who feel this way. I might hold out on purchasing to see if they unveil a new undated version...

[@gracieg5849]

Erin, how do you manage your time to work with these planners? It seems you have a very busy life with 2 small children, running a household, making these videos and all else that you do. And can you explain how they help with your life? Maybe some dumb questions. I’m a planner type person. But even using a far less complicated system than yours, I would become discouraged with keeping it up. And eventually stop. Maybe you could make a video showing all that.

[@dinessa99]

Jen is the maker of the content on this channel. Erin Condren is the designer of the product Jen is reviewing.

[@gracieg5849]

Di Vane Yes. I understand that.

[@Purpleelephhant8229]

The breast cancer one is beautiful! If my mother or sister was diagnosed I would gift to one of them since I’m close , maybe a best friend too because the journal style can be therapeutic

[@ClarissaReneXOXO]

Planning as I watch 😊

[@lyrehs-]

Won't take my entry. Tried repeatedly.

[@abbyhobe9707]

Love watching your videos Jen!! 💛

[@WithWonder]

Thank you for watching! 💕

[@haileyrogers8687]

I’m just here patiently (or not so patiently) waiting for the velvet pouch to be in stock! 🤞🏻

[@randielyse28]

Thank you for the opportunity to win!

[@jinh6478]

Great video, love the breast cancer book. Thanks Jen x

[@JosephinesDesigns]

Love it all and thank you for always giving a fair and honest review!! And I just placed my order. :) I bought the pink floral and blue night covers and some plain books to journal in. Thanks Jen...k :)

[@pieceful_puzzling]

I am sooooo annoyed that they moved that month at a glance calendar! Ugggggh

[@JuliesPlans]

So excited for the new colors! I definitely ordered the mustard and a few other colors 😉

[@WithWonder]

Nice! I'm getting the stars 🤩

[@candyberry68371]

Oh my that mustard makes me weak in the knees.

[@bstevenson3448]

Great review!

[@emkie_sews]

They looks so good! I used to plan heaps and I'm trying to get back into it again video's on youtube helping me to get inspired :) I tried to enter the giveaway, but for some reason it wont work for me - oh well! Whoever wins is a lucky duck :)

[@peacelilly000]

Enjoyed

[@alyssiacerullo4175]

I’m a Plum Paper Planner user...I love how much you can personalize it, and there are so many different layouts to choose from. So nice to build my own planner to really suit my planning needs. Great review on the EC...this planner just doesn’t do it for me.

[@TatteredAndTornPages]

I would love it, the Breast Cancer Support Journal. It would mean the world to me as I fight this scary fight. I can't say for other Warriors, but I can't imagine it being offensive. I hope that helped♡ As always, Love to all 4 of you♡ & to all of Jen"s supporters ♡ @prettyneatliving @jenross @jenniferross

[@lindaalberts8770]

Jen Please Please answer m questions right below this. Thanks!

[@TanTanPro]

It is alright...I guess :D
