Thank you for taking the time to share this amazing testimonial! I agree with you 100%. Heather is a wonderful person and shop owner;) And she also makes amazing planners!
Amanda, we need to talk. I am currently using the huge EC Teacher Planner, was going to pick up moms agenda but picked a medium passion planner because of the paper weight and slightly better format (waiting on delivery as we speak) and now I really really need this daily ~ I love the values, intentions, it’s not too fussy, lined monthly, weekly overview and it’s beautiful!!! What am I going to do !?!?!? 😂😂😂
Awwwww! Planner launch season is so hard! I can't talk you out of this daily because it really is a great one;) If you need a daily + a weekly then it should workout with your Passion Planner;)
It will have to work out with the Passion Planner. I went to complete my order for a daily Sprouted Planner - and shipping was $75.00 - not the company's fault but I can't do it. 😮
Tempting! Seems like a great planner. I love the post it pages...brilliant. That may be how I introduce myself to Sprouted! Love supporting small businesses!
I just discovered that Sprouted offers PRINTABLEs of each layout, so that you can try them before buying! This is SO HELPFUL, and I support companies who are this connected to their customers!
I don't usually use daily planners, but I think this is the best one on the market! I haven't used the Sprouted Planner before, but I plan to order the notepads. I like the notes and dots feature, as well as the mini tracker.
I absolutely LOVE Sprouted Planners! The Monthly is great to carry around for making doctors' appointments and such - and I'm so excited about the plastic covers! I like using the Weekly as my main planner - it has such an amazing layout! And when I have a super busy day, I use a sheet from the brilliant Daily Sticky Pad and stick that in my Weekly for that day - a perfect fix for a busy day! Just placed my order today.... Thanks for the detailed review, Amanda, and showing folks how great Sprouted Planners are!!
It’s my fav planner! Can’t wait til later today. And I didn't have to wait very long at all! I'm so excited for my order to arrive. I can now check this off from my to-do list!
It never ceases to amaze me how much Americans spend on these planners! I bought one in the sale at my local supermarket and it was £10 ($13.40) - same type this woman spent over $60 for.
I litterly have 9 Erin condren 2024/2025 planners. I also just bought 2 aura elstelle 4 kinbor a kell of a plan a planner envy and a just scribble. Most of thease planners I’m using for 2025 are $60 on the low end. I’ve spent $3500 in the last month or 2025 planners and supplies
I am glad you are happy with your planner. That is important. I have used many different planners over the years as I have grown older and my needs changed. But the bottom line is that I have always been a paper planner person. It isn’t just America, it is all over the world. It is a World community of like minded people about this very specific task which is planning your life on paper. I understand why you might not understand the willingness that people have to spend a lot of money on paper planners. I also understand why people do. What I do know is that my life flows better when I plan it in a planner that works for me. It is a staple in my life, always has been, and always will be. What people spend on it is private to each individual person. Bottom line is we are all happy in the end, even if it is something you might not understand. 💕
@@EdelweisSusie to me my peace of mind, the joy of flipping through memories of the year and the quality of it encourage me to actually use it. So I get my money’s worth and then some. It’s also a small business so they are higher cost that supports a fellow person rather than a big company. Lastly that 60 dollars split up between 12 months is like a cup of coffee a month. So I’m going to invest in myself in something that benefits me instead of something disposable that doesn’t.
Amanda! Thank you SO MUCH for the amazing review of this year's planners. As always, you did a fabulous job of covering every last detail. It's no wonder thousands of people trust and watch your reviews!
I enjoy learning about the different planners on the market. I like my weeks to start with Sunday. By watching your video, I know this planner has a Monday start and not a Sunday start. This planner would not be a good fit for me. Thank you for the video.
Thanks Amanda...as usual you are a very thorough reviewer. I just bought my first weekly planner from Sprouted Planner. I bought the 2024 planner with the intent of seeing if I could fit in some habit trackers from my Self Care Planner from a company of the same name. That planner tracks mood and sleep and I love that planner. However, it has a bigger goal planning system and I wanted easier. I was impressed with the 2024 planner and I am still trying to figure out if it will work. Then the 2025 planner dropped. I was disappointed to see the return to lines when I love the graph and dotted grid sections. They are great for weekly habit trackers. I don't like the size of the coil. It's actually 1 1/2 inches across on the 2024 planner and it looks like that's what it is on the 2025 planner. I like the binding of the 2024 planner. While the coil is 1/2" bigger than my current self care planner; a little quirk of mine is not having a planner fold back on itself and having the covers meet. Spiral is always off kilter. However, I do love the addition of the dashboard and additional reflection pages. I was glad she made the weekly layout grid smaller and the lines added to the left hand side of the layout go across the page. I will use the 2024 planner for a few weeks and if it works I will probably purchase this planner. Maybe I can get used to the off kilter spiral. :)
Thank you for this thoughtful feedback, Gloria! I'm sorry the grid-to-lines change is disappointing for you, and I understand. I'm glad you're trying out the 2024 planner, and I hope you find something - whether Sprouted Planner or someone else - that you love and works for you ♥
You are right! If I don't have it in hand then I usually forget to mention it. Also the video could get very long if I just mention every extra on the site. But that is a really good add on!
I can so relate about short notes to myself that I can’t tell what I meant 🤣. Doesn’t happen a lot but I find the worst of these are that frantic sticky notes. I try to transfer planner sticky notes as quickly as possible. I really wish she used more graph or dot grid
I recommend wet erase on dashboards- you don’t get any rub off onto your pages but can erase perfectly when you intend to, not accidentally. My planner doesn’t have to be perfect but I don’t like smudges that aren’t intended. (I’m a bit of a decorative planner) There may be others but I use Vis a Vis pens, the same that you use on overhead projectors. As a speech pathologist, I often use them in therapy with adults and children!
@@sproutedplanner you are quite welcome, comes from years of experience coupled with some very useful continuing education seminars along the way. Note to self, it’s not waterproof only smudge proof 🤣
I understand, Debra. I wish I could price it much less. As a small business having to order at a lower quantity, its just not possible without going out of business. In fact, I'm barely in business as it is now, and I haven't even paid myself in 4 years. The cost of making these products: from the design software, to paying for graphic designs (cover art), to paying for the product itself (including the $9k it takes to simply have it shipped here), to paying for the website platform, photography cost, etc. I hope that little glimpse helps explain the cost a little bit. Still, I completely understand how that price tag makes you sad.
If I hadn't found planner peace with my EC petite folio system (for the time being) I would have definitely gone for Sprouted this next time. I would so love it if more companies did their mini notebooks and monthlies in a true a5 size that would fit my folio without being too tall, too short, or too wide.
I'm so glad you have planner peace with your EC, Susan! I wish I had the time, money, and space resources to make many different options. I love the feedback though, and will keep it in mind!
Honestly, Sprouted Planners added the weekly overview last year. I wish EC would offer a lined monthly but I don't think they will ever go in that direction, unfortunately. The monthly dashboards are similar.
Love Sprouted Planner! This will be my 3rd year ordering and so thankful I found it through your page. I am excited about all of the changes made and personally appreciate the more spaced out notes pages throughout the planner. Intrigued to use the monthly dashboard & the expanded reflection sections as well.
I absolutely love that it has (almost) all of the major Jewish holidays and festivals! I’ve never seen that in a planner before. Thanks for the great review!
Love the changes to the daily page! Best daily page that I have found for me as a busy mom w/ a large family to manage. I am using this planner now.. love it. Tons of space. The only thing that I don’t love is how large the coil is.. I would love a bound version in the future.
I loved Sprouted last year, and love a lot of the changes this time. I used the monthly a LOT this year, so definitely getting that and some accessories. And maybe the weekly . . .
Are you going to do a video to review the new She Plans 2025 Softbound planner? For years, their weekly sewn planners are the only planners that work for my ADHD brain. I love them so much. But now she has changed the size and the layout, so I don't know if they will with any more...especially the column width for the days. In concerned they will be too narrow now. Purchases are non refundable, and there isn't much info on her site, so any help you could provide would be awesome! Love your channel! ❤
I don't have a review set up yet. But hopefully I can get one to share since there have been big changes. I don't think it would be till November if I get one and it would probably just be on Instagram. So keep an eye out there:) Thanks for letting me know you want to see that;)
I was really touched by the excerpt of her letter. I will be looking up that planner chat! I might try the daily spread - Heather, please consider replacing lines with graph, or even dot grid I find my writing stays so much neater with this and vertical subsections are so much easier.
Hummmm....I think all the monthly notebook planners I have are all calendar year. Planner Perfect you can start a monthly notebook planner any month you want- but it has 4 pages between each month and not 2. I do have 20% off to planner perfect: AMANDA20
The cover designs are really nice and the coil looks like great quality. I really like the layout for the Weekly Planner, but the two things I don’t love about this planner are (1) the set up is very plain in terms of it looking like printed excel sheets with boring fonts, nothing really pleasingly artistic or eye catching at all to make using it “fun” as well as productive, And (2) I dislike the fact that the lines appear very dark, which to my eyes, competes with whatever you are writing in the planner; softer lines (maybe gray) would be more appealing. Of course this is my opinion, which will be different from other people. It’s all a very personal choice. I’m currently still an Erin Condren vertical weekly user, but what I really like is the Plum Paper weekly 2-page spread that has the horizontal weekly on one page and a lined Notes page across from it. For me, that’s ideal, but I prefer EC’s textured paper better. Trying to decide for 2025. If Sprouted softened the interior look of their planner, it could be a contender for me ✏️📒
Heather and her products are awesome! Have a great week, Amanda! I'm loving the editing! 😊
Aw, thanks Vickie;) I will tell Pierce;)
YOU'RE awesome, Vickie! 😊♥

Great idea to start with those post it pages;) Just remember those post it pages don't have her 80# paper;)
Thank you so much, Sara! The sticky notes on Post-its are a fabulous option!
I just discovered that Sprouted offers PRINTABLEs of each layout, so that you can try them before buying! This is SO HELPFUL, and I support companies who are this connected to their customers!
I'm so glad the printables are helpful, Debra! I want everyone to feel confident going into their purchase.

Thank you for sharing! I love how this is an intentional planner. Just ordered my first 2025 daily planner!😊
I hope you love it and it serves you well Robin:)
Thank you SO MUCH for your support, Robin. I can't wait to get your daily planners into your hands.
First I’ve seen these. Love the little monthly. I may get that one for budget and one to carry !
Perfect way to use them:) They are so handy:)
Thanks, Christi! The monthly is a great choice for that!
I love the daily for next year for kids and home and the monthly for my crochet buisness
Oh, perfect! 2025 is set:)
Great choices! Ditto on the monthly for business - its perfect for that! Thank you so much, Ginger!

If this had a Monday start option it would be everything I wanted in a daily planner.
That's understandable! I wish I had the resources to offer both!

The cover designs are really nice and the coil looks like great quality.
