Review on 2023 Planner - 8X10 Weekly & Monthly, Flexible Cover, To-Do List | Jan 2023 - Dec 2023 Twin-Wire Binding by Ronald Messina

When I was looking at planners, I looked for one with a sky blue cover to narrow down the number I looked at. I saw one or two planners that I looked at that had check-off boxes where you could write a "To Do" list from Monday through Friday. This was one of the planners that had that. I love this feature so much that I took mailing labels and printed lines of boxes on them and cut them out so that I could stick them on Saturdays and Sundays. I'm also using them on the other side of weekdays when I have a lot of things to do. The planner I used last year I never used the daily spots at all and clipped those days together and just used the overall monthly calendar to write events on so I wasted all those individual pages because I never thought of using a planner like that before. I have ADD and this seems to work a lot better for me to double-task my planner for events and a "To Do" list every day. I had been either hand writing or typing up task lists and placing on a clip board but it's more paper to keep track of and I found I didn't look at it enough, sometimes couldn't find it or sometimes tasks would get lost when I made a new list. I can easily see what tasks I've done and keep better track of what's not done and move it to the next day if needed. I may move events to the overall monthly calendar which even have lines in them for writing which a lot of planners don't do that. I love the size of this planner. It is smaller and it is not as thick as the previous one I used. While it doesn't have monthly tabs on it like my previous one, I won't need it because I'll be looking at it all the time by using the day pages. The only possible thing I could think of to improve this planner is to have a pocket in it in the front or back. While the planner is smaller than an 8-12" x 11" page, I could fold schedules and keep them there to write events in the planner at a later time. Otherwise, I spend a lot of time trying to find schedules. While I probably paid a little bit more for this planner than the one I bought last year, it is worth it solely for the fact that is will greatly help me in becoming more organized and I will be using more of the full extent of the planner. I would highly recommend this planner if you have organization issues like I do.
