Clever Fox Planner – Undated Weekly & Monthly Planner for Productivity, Time Management & Goals – Organizer Journal – A5 (Turquoise)

Honestly the best planner I’ve had! I use to buy planners form Target and Staples, but this is my 2nd time buying this planner. I’m in Nursing School so this has been perfect laying out my homework and study plan. I also color coordinate with my pens of things from family events, appointments, and school things. 100% recommend for helping get your life organized/ together.

I actually have yet to seriously sit down and start writing in it but that's only because I don't want to waste the awesomeness by making a mistake; I really want to sit down and put some undivided attention into it. Seriously though, just by reading the quick start guide (how to use the planner), it opened up a new way of looking at things.This planner is pretty amazing but maybe it’ll help to understand where I’m coming from.I’ve been struggling with life a bit over the past 4 years, for various reasons, but generally involving my 2 kids and a strained marriage where I haven’t been an adequate man, husband, or father (but that’s a whole other story). In any case, things have slowly been building up and recently came to a head; events which have forced me to honestly and brutally examine my life. Ironic, because I’ve been “soul-searching” for the past 4 years. Just couldn’t seem to make real or lasting progress. I guess the pain wasn’t painful enough? Or I wasn’t ready to change for me, I guess? In any case, I’ve finally started to evaluate my life: where I’ve gone, what I’ve done, where I’m going, what I want my life to look like, etc. It took me wayyy too long to start writing down goals or tasks in a book, but I finally started doing that, because I figured it’s about time I actively work on being proactive and productive. I started about a month ago, writing down goals/projects/To Do items over the course of a week. (This week, I want to finish/accomplish these items, etc.) I started to realize that I needed other lists. What to do on this SPECIFIC day, longer term goals/projects, habits to start building, and so on. Once I had an idea of the things I wanted, I looked for planners on Amazon. I came across a lot and went through tons of pictures, trying to find a layout I liked that also helped me incorporate these criteria. Then I found Clever Fox.What’s cool too is that Clever Fox has a bunch of different planners and sizes, so it’s pretty easy to find something to match your needs. My wife saw mine and loved it, but wanted a smaller one for herself (A5). There are other planners with similar features/layouts, but I’ll probably stick with Clever Fox unless I find something else that completely blows it out of the water. There are a ton of things to love, at least from my point of view.The first sections are essentially about reflecting on your life: what’s important to you, what does your dream life look like, what habits do you want to build, etc., and it asks what your life looks like in 1, 3, 5 years. Suffice it to say, it’s adept at helping you visualize big picture items and then breaking them down in manageable chunks. Honestly, it feels like that’s what everyone says all the time about having goals and plans, but I’ve never sat down to take the time to ACTUALLY think about it. For me, this planner is hugely beneficial.When it comes to the layout, I love it. Something I wanted was the ability to track goals/items of interest over the span of a month, or a place to put monthly priorities. It also helps you track habits, reminds you of specific aspects in life you might’ve wanted to work on, and other useful stuff. There are also monthly evaluation pages that help you pinpoint what went right and what went wrong about the month, and how you’re going to make the next month better.I don’t know how this planner will work for you, but if it’s anything like it is for me, you’ll love it. It’s big, and I plan on looking at it every day or two. Refocusing, refreshing my memory on tasks that need to be completed, things I want to start incorporating more in my life, etc. If you’re willing to put in the effort and be serious, I think this could help you get your life in order; at the very least, it’ll give you ideas; maybe even a way forward.

I love the color, I love that it has a pen holder, has a space for weekly, monthly and daily reflections and lots of space in the back for notes and lots of room in the beggining for more broader goals. I didn't really use the stickers much, mostly for the months sometimes. But I loved it all and that it comes with a guide too on how you can use it.

The media could not be loaded. I have officially been using this planner for two months. As someone who has tried everything from the Panda planner, to Blue Sky and even my phone, I’d say as a working college student I have had the best results with the Clever Fox. The first few pages of the planner (vision board, various life area goals and mind map) have helped me not only focus on my habits, but also see what I want to accomplish this year. Along with seeing accomplishments there are multiple sections throughout the planner to reflect on monthly/weekly accomplishments along with what can be improved on for the next. If you are new to using planners or wanting to improve on your organization but don’t know where to start, luckily this planner also comes with a guidebook. This guidebook provides tips for optimal note taking and how to prioritize your week. It goes into detail about what each section of the planner is meant for; from words of affirmation, to habit tracker, and even reflecting on the months and weeks.It should be noted that the monthly sections are grouped together instead of each month being right in front of the weekly sections. I personally prefer this opposed to having to flip through multiple pages to look at plans from one month to the next. Like the monthly sections, weekly sections are also grouped together one page after the next. Each week gets two pages, one side has Monday through Sunday. It may not have the best spacing for those who have larger handwriting as each day gets 3 lines to write in plans. The second page focuses promoting personal goals and achievements. There are two boxes to list weekly priorities and personal to-dos. Each week also comes with a section for notes in a bullet journal format. This I find great to get a little creative with my planner and draw up inspiring quotes to help me through the week. In the weekly habits and skills there are seven lines provided allowing you to focus on seven habits you would like to make or break. Personally, for me, here I track waking up at 6 am, eating breakfast, and making my lunch for the next day before bed. To add a little more creativity, I mark my accomplishment with smiles or frowns. The last section of the planner is filled with blank bullet journal pages. This offers room to have a mood tracker built in, doodle space, or as I use it, simply just for important notes I often refer to.All sections of the planner are undated, this could be a problem for most. I prefer it because I won’t be wasting pages if I skip a week or month of planning. This happens mostly in the months of June, July and August, when I have no classes or due dates to organize. It’s important to note that while this is an undated planner, there is only 12- month sections in the planner. I haven’t counted all the week pages, but I’d say it’s safe to assume there are enough to make a year as well.Continuing its organizational format, the planner is built in with three different colored ribbon to mark important sections. I use them to mark what month we’re in, along with the week, and the next clear page of notes that are open. This prevents me from flipping through pages trying to find my spot or wasting posits to mark my place. The back of the planner comes with a little pocket to hold small forms. I store stickers, small posits, and business cards here. Built into the planner is a pen holder. In my 2 months of usage it has managed to hold up with no sign of unbinding with the planner. It also comes with an elastic band built into the back of the cover. It allows for the planner to stay closed while in my bag and prevents pages from bending when in my backpack. The pages are thick enough that I am able to use gel pens and highlighters without seeing the colors bleed through the pages. The planner itself is sturdy, and hard back. It’s bonded with thread. I find it to be very compact, I’m able to carry it in a school bag, or purse. This allows me to carry it on the go where I am. The Clever Fox company provides a range of colors to pick from, I went with Canary Yellow because I wanted something bright that catches the eye. I am not at all disappointed with the color I received. It looks just like the photos.When it comes to receiving the product, I’ve had an interesting experience. I was pleased to find it is packaged in a white box with the fox logo in the color of the planner I ordered. Once opened I found my planner arrived with the pages inside upside down and backwards. It was a surprise to say the least. While not what I was expecting, a short time after emailing my concern to the seller I was provided with a cash refund. This simply was a mistake in production, and my planner’s faux pa went unnoticed. Even with the cash refund I was still able to keep the original planner. To me this seems that the company is confident and stands by the product. Due to this I chose to try again and re-order my planner. With my Amazon Prime membership, I received the planner two days after purchasing, and was delighted to find it in the condition promised in the photos. Even with the initial let down I was very pleased with the customer service I received when addressing the issue. From this I’d suggest that my first planner was just a rare fluke. Down below I’ll be adding photos of my first and second planner along with packaging, and guidebook.Overall, I would rate the Clever Fox Planner 4/5 stars. While it has helped me tremendously, I do believe there are a few improvements that could be made. Such as more room for writing for those with large penmanship. Adjusting a spot for affirmations to be included in the monthly or weekly sections rather than only one section at the beginning of the planner. This can allow users to not only be reminded of their affirmations daily, but also continue to find more as the year goes.
