I have inconsistently posted about my obsession with the Passion Planner.
This is my fifth Passion Planner. It looks like my first one was an Academic in 2017. I don’t think I’ve ever done a full review of one here as I have done with the Happy Planner and the Plum Paper planner. So, better late than never!
The Happy Planner almost tweaked out a win, but the Passion Planner is just one that I keep coming back to. It works for me, even though I do not use it to its fullest.
Let’s Break It Down
Passion Planners come in a few different styles: the company has grown since I started using them. They have the Academic (July to June), Annual (January to December), Undated, Daily, and Digital. I have used them all but the Daily style. Starting with the Undated, I went to Academic when I returned to school. I switched to Annual, but ultimately I think the Academic version is my preferred, especially with the boys in school. It still just makes sense to me.
Every Passion Planner is built around achieving your goals. You start with the road map; writing down all the things you want to accomplish in 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, and your lifetime. The wilder the better! And then you break it down into less overwhelming steps. You take one of the goals and create what you would do to get there in the Gamechanger.
At the end of every month is the Monthly Reflection. This part is where I struggle. I rarely ever use this part. And if I do, it’s vague and not a true reflection. Maybe this should be a goal of mine, to complete this section for a year.
Fun Accessories for the Planner
They now offer fun accessories, like sticker books, monthly tabs, pens, and highlighters. I did get one of their sticker books in this order. They had a promo with their academics where you got one free with your order. Who am I to say no? I chose the adulting, work, and everyday life sticker book because it looked most like me.
Decorating My Passion Planner
I always choose the Classic Black cover even when they have some pretty ones. I enjoy sticking stickers to the covers too much! It’s probably why this tips me over the edge of the Passion Planner being my favourite.
I spend a decent amount of time figuring out what stickers I want and where they should go. Should I post about it? I’ll probably do that. Keep an eye out for a reel to come!
I love my Passion Planner. I’m using it to track goals, daily to-do items, and everything important for all my family members. I would be pretty lost without it! I haven’t sat down yet to do the 2024-2025 goals and ideas, but I’ll do that during the July long weekend while up North.
Something that I’m going to do soon is reorganize all my stationery stuff and put it somewhere more accessible. Andrew asked me to clean the basement so he can continue renovations *fingers crossed*. All my stationery is down there, so it’ll kill two birds with one stone, right?
What do you think? Do you have a preferred planner? Let me know!
