 Well hello my friends and welcome back to my channel and today we are talking about a newish planner. I have had one of these in the past. I will link that video up in a card wherever it goes. I don't know. But I have seen one of these last year and I wanted to share again. This company is called Personal Planner and they reached out to me to help out with their back to school campaign. I know I've had one of these in the past so I said sure why not. Also there's going to be a discount code. I will put that in the description down below and right on the screen right here for you guys as well as there's going to be something kind of fun coming up at the very end. But one of the gals over there Amelia shout out to Amelia if you're watching. Hi she wanted me to just pick out some of the things that I really liked on the website to show you guys and then I just wanted to go into all of the goodies that are here. So first things first when I saw these on the website I knew I wanted to grab one of these. This is a cover. This is the classic A5 size and they have a couple of different colors. This one is the black. There's also brown and pink and like a mint color and a soft purple which is really really pretty. I can just show you what I'm looking at here because I have this up. But this is the one that I got the imitation leather which is $26.95 and then there's the calf skin and then there's a black calf skin. So this is like the brown and then there's a pink and the mint and the purple. So there's lots of really cool designs. They also come in different sizes. So there's a mini square wide and then the classic A5 which is what I got. So this cover alone retails for $26.95. It's got like the little holes in the back so you can put a bungee cord on there. It does ask you I believe when you check out what color you want. So I decided to go for white but then you can put your planner in there. My planner is already in here but it's really nice. It has all of these pockets. This came with it. It's just like to show that you can put like cards or anything like that in there. I have right now I've got some like stickers. I could put some stickers in there like this which is nice. Or I have some other stickers sitting over here too. I can always like slip those into this little pocket too if I wanted to. But yeah it fits the A5 size perfectly. I did get a bungee for the back of this as well. You don't have to put that on there if you don't want to but I decided to do that. And then on the back side it looks exactly the same. This does not open on the back side just like FYI. I know it's kind of hard to see because it's black but this doesn't open on this side. The only pocket that opens is on this side right here. It also has a little pen loop which is great. I'm gonna put my little Aaron Condren marker in there at the moment. So yeah you can just kind of close this baby up. And that's what it looks like. You can take your little bungee and go like that. But I just saw this cover and I was like I feel like I need that in my life. It's so pretty and it's just so basic and I really liked it. And like I said it comes in a bunch of different colors as well. So like I said before this cover is the classic A5 size. So my planner is a classic A5 size as well. So when you go on their website there are several different options to look and see what size you know that you would want in your planner. So I chose the classic A5 which is 39.95. And then you know there's lots of different ones. You can just select the one you want. And then also there's lots of different designs. I actually chose a design. It's hard to see. Let me let me pull it up again. I chose a design that they actually had on their website. But there's lots of different options that you can do. So it's kind of this like wintery theme because it's basically winter like half the year here in Minnesota. So I chose this one which I think looks nice. You can also personalize it with like a little personalization right here. I elected not to do that. But okay so when you open up the book and this is made of like a I don't know it's like a really it's glossy but it's like really heavy. I wouldn't even call it I don't know it's like not card stock but it's not I don't know it's paper. It's like some sort of paper but it's very glossy. Seems like it would be really durable too because it's like the high shine or whatever. So when you open this guy up so on this side it has a little information about the company. It's made in Sweden. And then we or we me myself and I right. Then you also get this little guy or did I purchase this separately? I can't remember. But this is one of those items that is like all like all the teeth and stuff are open. So you can kind of put it wherever you want. So I decided I wanted to put it up in the front and then I also got some sticker sheets. I don't believe the stickers come with the planner. I think these were a separate item. But they came as like a really big sheet but they had these like perforated lines and like this one like this one has a perforated line in it. I just haven't taken them out like that. But yeah so I got two different sticker sheets of all of these. You can definitely use these in the planner or use your own stickers or not use stickers at all. Which I think is totally fine. But love this for sticker storage or receipts or anything else that your little heart desires could go in there. Okay so now that out that's all in there. And then the next page you can personalize this as well. And that just has my YouTube name favorite daughter Emily. And then here is the layout that I chose. So this is the very end of 2018 working into the whole year of 2019. You can customize so much stuff with this. Like I don't even really want to like show you on the phone because it's just it's a lot to look at. So I do highly encourage you guys to go on their website and take a peek if you are so interested. But this one is an hourly version. So it goes from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. which I think is really nice because I do use a regular Aaron Condren life planner in the hourly version in my normal daily life. However I know a lot of people gripe about the hours that they want something that goes later in the day and things like that. This is definitely something that could possibly work for somebody that's looking for that. There is a larger version as well and not necessarily this A5 size. I think it's like an A6 I think it was but it's a whole lot bigger than this. And then you can customize the interior however you want. I remember when I placed the order that I could put this up here too which actually matches the front cover or I could leave it blank or put a different you know color or something like that in there. You could also customize I think you could customize the actual like colors of the dates I want to say. I'm not sure it's just really interesting. And then like down at the bottom you could put like little habit trackers and things like that. So anyway I like things a little bit more plain as most of you know that watch my channel. So on the left hand side you could customize a whole bunch of things in here like habit trackers and things you want to keep track of like your mileage or water consumption or like I don't know whatever you want to do. And then over here I kept a couple of different things. So like to do this week I thought would be really good because you can put down like a couple of different tasks and then check them off as you go. And then I like I liked this I liked this little monthly view of the month we're in. So you could kind of like if someone's like oh in December what day is this or you know actually this is like a really bad example. Let's go to January. So like in January if you're on this week and you're like oh well what day was the third and you're you can look at it and say oh that was a Thursday. You know like you can kind of take a peek at that. So anyway I do like that a lot. Saturday and Sunday are all in one column. Some people love that some people don't but that's just the way that this layout is. You can elect not to have the hours in here at all. So I mean there's so many different versions of layouts that you can take a peek at. Also it says the month and the year and then over here it says week 52. So it tells you what week you are in the specific year. Also there is a monthly view. So in January 2019 here is the complete monthly view. I believe you could also elect to have holidays in there if I remember right. I think that was it. I ordered this a while ago you guys I'm sorry but there are so many really great options on this website. So just mess around with it a little bit and the really cool thing too is when you select an option the view of the image changes. So I find that really helpful to someone that maybe isn't the most visual. So it's like oh yeah that's what it's going to look like. So anyway and then here is December through January. So we're in week one. So this is December 31 and January one and again everything looks the same. So you're going to have as many weeks as you can rolling through here and then you will get into your February month. There are no tabs or anything for your actual monthly views. However you could very very easily put little adhesive tabs or something like that if you wanted them on there. Also another thing that you could do is like the thing in the back here. If you use one of these covers or even if you don't you could always you know put this wherever you are. You know what I mean? I don't know. So yeah and then obviously on the monthly view also there's like a little list there too which is nice. So yeah you've got January through December in here and then another thing is hold on let me show you here. In lieu of doing the little tabs there are these little guys here. So this tells you like what month it's in the different colors of the rainbow. So it's like January February March April May June July August September October November and December. So you can see them and you can say oh I need to get into like April which is the fourth month and you can grab the yellow and you can just you know open it like that and then you're in April. So anyway it's just like a little fun design idea instead of the tabs but if you're into tabs you could very easily put them on there. So anyway that is it for the inside of The Guts Guts but there are a ton more options with your extra pages. So let me show you what I elected to put into mine. So here is my overview for 2019. I really wanted to have this because I thought that this would be a great thing to have when you're like looking forward into the year. So it does have it categorized by month or not by month. Yeah obviously it's categorized by month but it's categorized also by week on the page with the red markings right here. So it tells you what week you're in which is great. It also has like Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday so you know what date it is. So if you got some like trips coming up if you've got like school activities or kids stuff or other commitments you can just put those things down like when you're looking forward to things. Also a nice thing is like it tells you like this is Easter Sunday and then like this is Father's Day and Memorial Day so like you know where they land on the year so then when you're trying to plan like vacation say you always get Memorial Day off on work to say oh well that'd be a great like long weekend or whatever like let's go do something fun with the family or whatever like you can kind of like look forward into that. So anyway this is 2019 and then also this is the rest of 2019 and then I liked it to also put 2020 in there because how often do we get like invitations to things that are happening really far in advance like family trips and weddings and things like that that you just know is coming up but you're like ooh I can't remember you can always just take a marker or even take like a little sticky note and put in like oh we're thinking of going on a cruise in mid-April of 2020. So you can kind of like just slate that in a little bit and then when 2020 happens then you can kind of set up everything if you haven't already fully decided on your dates and things like that or follow up with things. So anyways so that's 2020 and then the rest of 2020 and then I also elected to have some notes pages. Notes pages are totally my jam and I can't wait to share with you guys some fun things that are happening on my channel for our notes pages but that's coming up hopefully in the next couple of weeks. So anyway these are just some lined note pages and I got to tell you like the the paper is very nice and thick and sturdy. Like I said before I use an air incandronum in normal daily life so this feels a little thicker than the air incandron paper just as like a sidebar. So I just wanted you guys to know that. I've got quite a few of the lined pages and then I also elected to have some graph pages in here as well so love a little grid page and then it's got like some bigger grids as well as some smaller grids inside of those grids. So I love that I mean because you can still you know take notes with these no problem and then the very back page is also like a grid page and then it's got our back design which is the same as the front design and then it's also covered by this plastic. Oh and I should say hold on let's pull this completely out here. There we go. The front also has the plastic over it too so this will definitely hold up really really well and then if you don't want to get the cover you can always just you know go for it like this because that makes a lot of sense. Also another thing that I decided to get was this ruler because I thought a ruler is awesome plus like for cutting washi or anything like that it's nice to just have a ruler or if you want to like you know back in your notes pages if you want to do something with a ruler I don't know but I figured in the front is good so that's where I wanted to keep this. There are different colors of the ruler too I believe this is the gray or silver I can't remember the name of it it's not the clear one and I think there's like a blue I want to say and maybe a green I'm not sure but there's a couple of different ruler options so anyway that is a look at this planner in all of its glory. I'm gonna take my little pen out of here let's take my funny little paper American Express out of here too. All right so let's talk about something really really fun.
