As always, appreciate your thoughtful reviews! I like the new dashboard - it takes the thought work out of me setting it up each month. Would enjoy seeing this in the LPs, too :D
Thanks for such a great video! I actually really like the new dashboard too. I have a hard time using the current one and think the new one is way more functional for me too.
Glad to hear it Abigail and thank you for watching! I suspect the changes were made because many people have been stumped with how to use that page. In my research for content, it has always been one of the most frequently asked questions in searches about EC planners. Other than the classic "does anyone have a coupon" 🤣
I meannnnnnnnn now I'm trying to figure out if I can use this instead of the family organizer! I'm loving how you've simplified your planning into this monthly planner! 👏👏👏👏
My favourite EC planner. And I love the layout and the placement of the new dashboard! And I do like the ombré effect on the back stickers - hopefully it’s not a printing error and something they keep 😊
I like that they moved the dashboard to the left page so that now all the notes pages are together. 😊 Interesting that they decided to label the boxes though because they used to be labeled a few years back and they did away with that. Now I guess they are going back to labeling things? Makes me wonder if they will start labeling the dashboards in the weekly planners in the future.
I was surprised they brought the labels back too! Adding it to the ECLP could go either way. They might also be trying to differentiate the monthly from the ECLP more so it's like it's own thing and not just ECLP Lite.
Love that moved the dashboard to the left side, but don’t like the labels. I’m iffy about the tracker. Been wanting to track more so maybe since it’s there already I’ll be more inclined to start. Can’t wait till launch day! So glad you got to show a sneak peak.
The printed on tracker does remove that barrier for trying it at least once! I am brainstorming ways to use it differently so we'll see. Thanks so much for watching!
Not sure how I feel about the new dashboard but I don't use a monthly so it doesn't really matter 😆😆 I prefer unlabled boxes because I change what I put in them. I do like that projects desk pad. I probably wouldn't use it though. But I am gonna get that project sticky pad!
"but I don't use a monthly so it doesn't really matter" bahaha I started trying out the project desk pad the other day, labeled 2 projects on it, got distracted and put my keyboard over it, and then forgot it existed. I didn't remember until just now while writing this comment. Even though it's literally under my wrists. LOL maybe I just need a bigger desk 🤣
@@KristanKremer I did put the pad on my wishlist but then I look at my desk and have the colorblends my vision pad EC sent me and I've used it *checks notes* ONCE. 😆😆
I don't understand why they don't have the symbols and other stickers for the desk pad to actually match the months. Like not enough pay day or garbage day stickers for 2 per month
I wish the deskpad matched the traditional EC colorway, too. I'm sure they just couldn't get some colors of foil and chose the ones that coordinate well enough.
I do NOT like the new dashboard at all. I would have to relabel and I don’t habit track so the space is wasted on me. The only thing I like is the shift to the left hand page.
I totally understand! The habit tracker is my least favorite part as well. I will for sure be experimenting with ways to cover it up or use it differently. My gears are turning!
I understand that sentiment completely! I finally figured out a how I wanted to use the old dashboard and they changed it! LOL But I do like it overall, and I think it will work similarly for me once I figure out how I want to use the tracker space.
I love the new dashboard! If this planner had a velium sheet….and A5…. Perfection!
So many people feel the same way!
I like the new dashboard. I don’t mind changing the labels I love that it moved to the back of the calendar.
I feel the exact same way! Thanks so much for watching 🥰

Thanks so much! I think anything that takes some stuff off our mental load is helpful. Maybe one day EC will include it in the LPs 🤞🏼

The monthly is my favorite every year and I can't wait to order mine!!
Yay! I had a hard time picking a cover this time. Which one are you thinking about getting?
I’m so excited for this new version, I really like the new dashboard too!
Yay! It's gonna be hard to wait for July 😅
I love the new dashboard ❤
Same! I don't care for the trackers (of course 😅) but I think so many people do that it will be useful for them. I just love new things! haha
@@KristanKremer o love the trackers! When they are are ready there haha

😂 Thanks, Lena! Oh and FYI the Family Org book is coming soon!

It does look a little bit intentional but I don't think it is. I've seen it in other "oops" planners as well. At least the flaw is not an eyesore! 😊

@@KristanKremer that’s true. Give the monthly its own look.

Thank you for the review!
You're welcome, Jennifer. Thank you for watching!
I really like the new dashboard.
Me too! I'm excited to start using it next month 🤗 Thanks for watching, Natasha!
Great review and excited for the new dashboard!
Thanks so much! I love that it's on the left now 😊
I love the new monthly planner!!
Yay, Lindsey, glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
Love the video! I’m not a fan of the new dashboard, because I don’t like to be told how I’m to use my planner🤣🤪
Don't tell me how to live my life!! 🤣🤣
Will you be switching to the new monthly in July or waiting until January?
I ordered a July start this time! I've always preferred January start, but I'm trying the July start this time to align with my son's school schedule.
I wish they would have done the new dashboard with the life planner launch. I would've loved to have tried the new layout this coming year. Ugh....
I have a theory that they are testing it out! Only time will tell though. Thanks for watching 😊
Normally I buy the EC monthly calendar but I will pass on those different colors. My planning brain thinks in the EC monthly colorway.
I think the metallic is fun, but your comment got me thinking...I would prefer the traditional EC colorway as well!

I ordered the project stickers and plan to put them in my monthly planner. The great thing is you can move it from month to month.
That's one of the things I love about the sticky notes!
@@KristanKremer Oh man, I have a monthly planner on the FedEx truck right now. 🤦🏻♀ I have a plan for it though!
No A5 😢
I know 😭😭 I was so bummed for all my A5 friends.
How do the square stickers fit on the Life Planner?

@@KristanKremer yes! It is odd that it doesn't match the LP either.

These are my exact thoughts as well! Really disappointed!
I totally understand! The habit tracker is my least favorite part as well. I will for sure be experimenting with ways to cover it up or use it differently. My gears are turning!
I like the new dashboard layout, but I wish they had learned the lesson of several other iterations, and left off the labels.
I understand that sentiment completely! I finally figured out a how I wanted to use the old dashboard and they changed it! LOL But I do like it overall, and I think it will work similarly for me once I figure out how I want to use the tracker space.
I really didn't like that dashboard. I do NOT use my dashboard that way. I sent mine back and ordered plum paper.
Glad you found something that works better for you, Ruth! Did you see the new dashboard on the Plum neutral option? It's so functional!
