My favorite thing to do with the monthly notes page is recap the month. So like an update on our family, on our household, more detail about any events we attended, wins and disappointments, any major changes and how I’m feeling about work and life. That kind of thing. I love looking back and looking at the ups and downs, reviewing my mindset at the time.

(On the plus side, you've given me great insight to look at some other options!) Ugghhhhh I love last years hourly neutral so much

I’m so confused why the stickers in the back wouldn’t fit the boxes 😬😬😬 they should have made sure that the stickers fit the planner they came in! I think it would be good for them to add a half hour customization option for the hourly folks. So you could choose half hour or hour blocks and short or longer days (I.e. shorter day with half hour, longer day without) 🤗

The box sizes and the fact that their own stickers don't fit is a HUGE misstep, and shows a lack of attention to detail. Which is shocking for a planner company. Planners tend to be detail oriented, and I think our collective reaction reflects that!

I personally like this new layout. I plan on using my hourly as a catch all so it’ll be my planner, journal, memory keeper and budget planner. I love that it goes to 9pm and if I need half hour slots I’ll just write in the middle of the box. I love the new pages in the front of the month. But I do agree I like the colorful one way better.

I ordered the hourly 2020 planner the day it became available to the EC Insiders. I absolutely LOVE the color scheme and kaleidoscope design. The fact that my stickers do not fit is the saddest I have ever been with EC. My planner is my lifeline. It's how I navigate my work and personal life. We have a blended family, with our children splitting their time between three different households while participating in sports and other extracurriculars I've always incorporated stickers for our scheduling. I'm still trying to figure out how to make this work in a way that won't drive me batshit.

Thank you!! I moved from my old planner to EC when they introduced the hourly and have loved it. While I was not crazy about the dark lines every hour for this year, I will not deal with not having the half hours for next year. I am going to wait until Nov and if they do not give us the old layout back as an option by November I am going to go back to my old planner company and stay with them. I am tired of them messing around with something that worked so well for me. I would prefer to purchase a made in the USA product like EC but my old planner company was so customizable that even though they are foreign I will go back to them and I will not look back. I am going to send EC customer service an email and see if that gets heard (which I doubt). Breaks my heart!

Thank you so much for making and posting this video. I’ve honestly not been a fan of the hourly since after the first release it had in 2016. That version was perfect for me. Now that I work full time, hourly doesn’t work for anymore on its own, but if I ever went back to it, I’d buy an old 2016 one from Amazon and re-date it with sticker kits. I’m glad I’m not alone in not loving the new hourly. It had so much potential. :(

The changing of the box sizes only makes sense if they are attempting to corner the market as far as stickers go, so all the shops that are sized for them can't sell them anymore, but their own stickers would have to fit for that! Which is ridiculous that they don't! Also if you did want to use the boxes with rounded corners you could get a rounded corner cut out so you'd just do the sticker that goes against the edge and not have to cover up every corner.

I rarely use stickers anymore so I’m excited about this new layout with more hours in the day. I like the bottom lines for my home business so I think this will work well for me. I’m just trying to decide between neutral or colorful. I like the colorful stickers and accessory pages a lot better. The one thing that I don’t like at all is that the monthly tab isn’t even on the monthly spread page. That is going to be a problem.

Less than 10 minutes in & I'm happy! I need to see a vertical to be 100% sure but l like a lot of the changes. I was leaning neutral so I don't feel annoyed by my stickers not matching the colors of that week & now I'm even more in love because that the new extra page is dot grid!!! Some of my habits aren't as solidified as yours so l was thinking of uncoiling & adding dot grid pages for a large habit tracker then using the weekly side bar for tracking stuff that's new or changes based on week/season. I also have tasks that go along with caring for my mom so while I agree about the birthday box being a bit weird I think I'll use the other stuff on that page too. I still think the old lined page might end up being neglected though 😕

So I was planning on getting a hourly neutral for the next school year to align better with my school stuff and my soon to be kindergartner's school calendar. The biggest reason i was planning on switching from a vertical to a hourly is because of the half hour time spaces. The stickers fitting is kind of a minor thing for me (coming from someone who has NEVER used an hourly idk how much it would bother me once I got the planner in hand). I guess I could make time strips now?? idk. Now i feel like i'm back to square one for a new planner for me....

I have used EC for years in the colorful vertical. I love the colorful Kaleidoscope this year but am afraid to get the neutral because (even though blue is my favorite color) it looks like there is a lot of peach and muted colors. Plus, aren’t all neutral colors stickers difficult to find? Would the color stickers look good in the neutral? Whereas, I used the vertical colorful for years and loved it before at first but then got sick of the colors after a few months. Any suggestions as to if I should get neutral vertical Kaleidoscope or colorful Kaleidoscope vertical? Any suggestions would be appreciated! I don’t have anyone in my life that loves Planners like I do and they just “don’t get it.....”?

While I don't think my one email will do much, if a lot of people who are unhappy with the new hourly design email them, maybe we will be heard!! In my email, I also asked to bring back the old hour layout before the end of the year so I could order one for 2020. Doubtful, but you don't get what you don't ask for.

I’m glad I got an 18 month last year. I have till December to either come to terms with the changes or find another option... I will say, the planner is gorgeous, I just don’t know that the changes wouldn’t frustrate / annoy me.

Totally wondering why they just didn't leave out the bottom four blanks and use that space to keep the hours (and half hours) the same size. I think i can make this work because my hourly is more of an approximate schedule (rather than down to the minute), but it does seem to have a ton of wasted space.

Planner existential crisis for sure. I don’t know what to do without the half hour lines. Definitely not sure how I feel about the color scheme not matching the colorful, I feel like sticker shops are going to have trouble they’re going to have to release 2 sets of colors or something. My biggest question is where are you going to put the Washi on this new layout!?

I don't understand why they couldn't stretch the top of the week (in the week's page) back up and keep the half hour box. I don't need the extra space at the bottom. I need the time slots. I do like that it goes to 9pm, but I'm very upset over the loss of the half-hour. I can deal with the rounded corners, but like you, I am frustrated with the box size change and the fact that NONE of my stickers will fit right. Having said that, I will probably try to make it work, but omg it's going to be difficult. I love the theme and the colors on both the colorful and neutral, but I had planner peace. Now, idk. I am not feeling so peaceful about this set-up. Why such major changes to the hourly set-up? Yes, most of us wanted more hours, but not at the cost of the space. The included label stickers do not even fit in the boxes. If you could see the severity of the eye-roll going on over here, you'd probably fall out laughing. I can't function in a vertical. IDK what I'm going to do. *** edited to add: I emailed the EC team with the hopes that it reaches the design team. I am hopeful they get enough feedback on this to make changes before the end of the year, or at least offer the option of the old layout. Either way, at least I tried. They won't know if we don't tell them how we feel or what we really need.

I just can't this year. I can't do without the half-hours and I hate the shading at the bottom of the colorful layouts and on the monthly view notes portion. :sob: I have no idea what I'm going to do now, hahaha! Either Franken Planner it up or jump ship completely to something that's customizable like the Plum Planner now that it's got the new Mohawk 70 lb. paper. I feel ya', girl!

I tried the hourly (for 18/19) and thought the half hour boxes were just too tiny to fit anything in. Went to the vertical and those boxes were too narrow. I’m in a horizontal now. Haven’t seen a review one the horizontal yet. I love the new notes pages and the curved lines.

I don’t use an hourly, but I agree with everything you said. Gah, so disappointed in the neutral. What I liked about the neutral when they first brought it out is that it was truly neutral with the tiniest pops of colour. This just feels like they’re trying to incorporate their accent colour too much for me as well. Going to go watch Kayla’s video now. The pictures you shared make the vertical look SO much more beautiful!
