Panda Planner Raspberry Sorbet Daily 2023 - Organizer for Goals, Gratitude & Focus - Weekly & Monthly Agenda Sections - Undated 90 Day

Very disappointed that my item was Sama he’s when it arrived

I had admired the Passion Planner on Instagram for a while, but it’s an expensive import. This is similar. FYI - I’m an arty, unplanning, right-brain, spontaneous type. I’ve tried countless diaries and journals with many fails. Over time I have worked out what suits my character, personal style, and brain-type. I don’t plan, I journal. Firstly, un-undated. Anything with a date gives me the nudge to write even on days I’m apathetic about it…….. for a while. My previous dated diary lasted 3 months, then Summer came and the busy season took me away from my journals…. The empty days are unsatisfying to see and I couldn’t return to it. Undated gives me the freedom to use it as and when I’m inspired to. If you need the nudge, don’t buy this one. 2. A certain amount of parameters gets me started. The completely empty diaries/journals left me uninspired or required too much thinking to get started (bullet journals). This one has all the boxes ready to fill in. I fill in what I want and blank out what I don’t need (Schedule & Tasks). I especially enjoy the sections for Gratitude, Today’s Wins. 3. As a mixed media artist, I like the freedom to use various mediums although I don’t water-colour in this one. The thick paper takes most markers (not copic) and most water-based ink pads. Overall, it’s made well. Cons: 1. Really dislike the blue cover and there’s no other option, on Amazon at least. I will cover it, but an ugly (to me) cover could have put me off using it. 2. The ribbons are ugly. 3. A pen holder would have been nice. Diaries/planners/journals are utterly personal to ones needs & way of functioning. This one suits me. Someone in the reviews was annoyed that the months and days were separated and so we shouldn’t buy it. Firstly, that’s a personal preference. Secondly, it makes perfect sense in an un-dated planner! You need that flexibility of how many days you actually end up using. There are 3 attached ribbons which are supposed to help. I’ll be buying a second one - it came with a handy 10% discount too.

So far I am finding it to be a great layout, cleverly done with weekly montly and daily views with lots of space for notes. I chose this as a recently diagnosed adult with ADHD. All my life I have kept planners for a few weeks and then nothing. A big part of this was the shame and depleted feeling I would get when looking at all those missed pages of weeks and sometimes months, where I have abandoned my planner. It is a common problem with ADHD sufferers, particularly ( I know now ) those who remain undiagnosed until later in life. As a workaround, for decades now I have been using regular old notebooks, with endless lists, notes, thoughts and all manner of junk in a disorganiosed fashion throughout. This works on a level, and I have subconsiously put in other measures over the years to back up my disorganised 'diaries' (post-it notes, alerts on my smart-phones that chime a week, 2 days, a day and a couple of hours before important appointments) – but until now have not found a medium which can put it all in one place in a concise, yet not boring or unforgiving analog landscape. I have only just started, so, (if I actually get around to it) I will update in the future.... However if this remains un edited, theres a good chance I am suitable satisfied and moving on with things haha. Recommended for ADHD brains with ambitions xxx good luck! Update: May 16. - Well here I am, I actually got around to an update!! 🙏 Tho the Panda planner was in use for longer than any of my others have, I have not used it consistently for a couple months now...

I'm in love with this planner! I've always used a planner because I like to keep busy. Currently with a full time job, a side hustle, and I'm planning a wedding. This book helps me keep track of all of that, while also reminding me to find time to exercise, be grateful, and make time for my loved ones. Will be buying another when this is full.
