Transcending Waves - Undated Daily Planner, Hourly Habit Tracker to Boost Productivity, Faux Leather Agenda Notebook for Your Goals, Tasks and Schedules, 8.3 x 5.8 Inches, Gray

I have ADHD, and had been researching planners for months to figure out which type would be a good fit for me. I ended up going with this one because it fit the following criteria:1. The layout of every page is visible in the product photos, so I knew exactly what I was getting. I was looking for a planner that gave me a monthly layout, weekly layout, and daily layout, along with some structure for organization and self-reflection.2. The downside to this format is, of course, that it requires a great deal of space, which cuts down the planner time to three months. However, if this is what you are looking for, it is a good buy. Further, the seller actually provides a PDF with the layout template, which I find very generous and above and beyond most planner brands.3. The product has a 100% money back guarantee. I like any product that I can try risk-free.I was impressed with the quality of the planner cover. It is smooth and soft (though it does seem to have collected minor dents after a month of use). I was initially worried that the pages might come out from the binding, but so far I have had no problem with them. I will update if that changes. My ribbon was creased when I received it, but that was a minor issue and I did not contact the company about it.The layout is exactly as shown in the photos provided by the seller, and I think they did a good job of covering the different bases of organization, schedule, habits, gratitude/mindfulness etc. If you have large handwriting, this book probably isn't for you since there is limited space due to all the different sections. I have small handwriting so it works pretty well for me. It also helps that I use the Frixion eraser pens so that I can undo any mistakes.One final minor issue that just recently came to my attention is that the magnetic clasp to close it seems to have become slightly loose and is not closing as easily. On balance, I still decided to give the product 5 stars in spite of any minor defects due to the overall quality, the beneficial practicality of the layout, and the commitment to improvement, customer satisfaction, and customer service the company seems to have (that factor is extremely important to me).Suggestions for improvements: (Mostly subjective)1. Reorganize the sections. Put all the monthly pages, weekly pages, and daily pages together into their own sections, and provide more ribbons for navigation. That way, if you miss a day of planning, the page is not wasted.2. Make the daily and nightly sections 2 pages each to allow for more room, and increase the size of the To Do List.3. Create a larger size version.4. Create a longer version that covers more months OR sell a package option where you can purchase several at once for a discount.5. Additional sections, such as a visionboard, and a designated section for notes (rather than interspersed amongst the other sections).I read so many reviews on Amazon where people unfairly give a product a lower rating due to them simply not reading the product description. So make sure you know what you're getting and that it fits what you are looking for. ;)

AestheticsThe first thing I noticed when I saw this planner was its aesthetic appeal. It’s a great-looking product that fits in well with the other accessories I would bring to work or a café (messenger bag, MacBook Pro, the type of watch I wear, etc.) I was continuously charmed even while opening the cool and functional magnetic closure flap to see the clean and impressive format on every page.UseI really appreciate the structure of how these pages are organized. They are filled with trackers that try to help keep your life balanced and rather than just focusing on work all the time. Overall, I believe this is the better approach to excellence rather than allowing your mental and physical health to take a toll—ultimately slowing down and hurting your work goals down the road.QualityThe quality of the hardcover, stitching, and pages feel nice. It still looks and feels new as the first day I used it. The magnetic closure strap works well and is properly placed on the planner.Inside DetailsEvery month starts with a multiple-page “monthly overview” section consisting of a whole calendar, bad habits/distractions to avoid, good habits/skills to develop, things you are saving money for, projects, goals, a to-do list, and action steps.Then you have a weekly overview with a more detailed view of that week where you can write events at specific times. There are more habit trackers, a weekly to-do list, more specific expense trackers, and weekly goals.Finally, you are given 2 pages dedicated towards each day with one page of your morning plan and the other page of your nightly review. The morning plan contains more to-do lists, goals, things you are excited for, your workout, thoughts on your mind, etc. The nightly review is filled with reflective questions on your productivity, most memorable moment, one thing you learned, an act of kindness you did today, and how you connected with your friends and loved ones. Every nightly review page has small area dedicated to your “journal space.”
