@@AmandasFavorites - Based on how her other book's binding looks, it does not look like it will last that long with "normal use". Even pushing it down to lay it flat does not look too sturdy to me.
I would definitely use the Big Picture planner to track my monthly finances. Note in the monthly calendar when fixed expenses are due, varied expenses due, pay days, unplanned expenses, etc. I would use the right side for weekly notes, reminders with header labeled “ Week of 10/11”. I’m thinking that the habit tracker could be used to encourage financial/frugal living habits - take lunch to work, read finance book, update budget, no spend day - or something along those lines. I’m going to order it and use your code. Thanks Amanda!
Sorry this comment got lost from 7 months ago and just popped up! I love your idea on how to use each section. Thank you for watching and taking the time to share. If you ended up getting the planner I hope you loved it:)
She does have the vertical weekly left...which is featured in my newest review from this year for Laurel Denise here: ua-cam.com/video/-CwXfS7Bj-E/v-deo.html She is also coming out with undated in both layouts this spring sometime. Maybe that will help?!
@@AmandasFavorites yeah i saw the one thats left, i have a deep dislike for pink haha ive been debating getting it and just painting the front but i have doubts on how well that would end up holding up in the long run of being carted around, the plan right now is to get a hybrid planner/journal with bullet pages and make my own with some inserts and washi tape
I saw this planner on Instagram and then came to UA-cam fore a review. I plan to use this as a teacher planner. I hope I like it. Thanks for the detailed review.
I have special needs daughter and used this planner this year for all of her appointments and to keep track of daily moods/habits/therapies, etc. It has worked out beautifully as a communication device for this reason as well, as the babysitter has access to it too and records in it daily! (learned about this planner from you last year!)
I had a sister with special needs and I do feel like this would have helped my mom when she was younger. Glad you were able to find something that worked well.
@@AmandasFavorites they are an etsy shop, she sells printable inserts. I think in the US/Europe she has authorised printers who can do all the hard work for you.
That monthly would be Great for MONTHLY MEAL PLANNING. write meals in calendar then the columns on the right could be groceries lists or even meal prep planning
@@AmandasFavorites I found this video on etsy where its $55 with free shipping, tried code but it apparently doesnt work on etsy. Vid shows it costs $45 - 10%, figured out thats only from her website direct, not her etsy. However her website also has shipping charge, so it costs $55 either way. Which will heopfully be worth it
Can anyone help me find a planner that would be good for someone that works Saturday’s? I am a hairdresser and it’s so hard to find something that doesn’t limit the space for Saturday’s.
I think i found out about this planner from you doing a video last year and have been using this solely for work. I work for a major book publishing company and manage our amazon account with a small group of girls. I use the month at a glance to track their days off as well as my own. We rotate tasks daily so then i use the one side of the weekly for little to dos throughout the day and the right side for meetings and our tasks for the week. I use the extra sheets for constant password changes, notes about the account, and things to notate for my annual raise lol. It has been so good for me that i am going to get one for 2022. I cant tell you how much i need the month at a glance in my face at all times for knowing when my team has off as well as figurimg out turnaroumd times for gettimg amazon their orders
Hi Allison:) Thank you for sharing how you used it for your job. I loved hearing about your job and the way this planner worked perfectly for it! What a great testimonial:)
I especially like the Big Picture Planner because it's portable. It can be used both for appointments in the monthly spaces and as an "idea book" for listing books, podcasts, writing ideas, etc.--with room in the 11 pages in the back for further journaling thoughts and development. I might get it as a portable supplement to my Legend planner--depending on how I use the notebooks that I already have.
Thanks for watching and taking time to chat. Do you mean you want the bigger size of the monthly calendar in the monthly only book put into the weekly coil bound book?
❤💙💚💛💜💟 the layout. I did not uss in 2021, because rhey were sold out. Definitely pre-ordering the 2022 planners for myself and the new 2022 Big Picture planner for my mom and aunt!!
I used your code and thank you so much for the thorough review. I CANNOT WAIT TO GET THESE IN THE MAIL! I even ordered both - I couldn't decide and I love both concepts.
👀 Me watching this knowing I already ordered everything from this years set 😆 I found out about this planner from you last year and its was perfect for college. I wrote all my assignments, test, and breaks in it. So easy to see everything at once!
Thank you so much for your review! I actually really need a full space for both Saturday and Sunday, so I shall probably give her "BIG PICTURE" month layout a spin....
I received my planner sadly it was a huge disappointment after 2 month wait it showed up bent tab pages and not the quality I would expect for the high cost Very small writing spaces too pretty cheap coil great idea behind it but not very good quality just saying I returned mine
I am sorry you felt that way. I feel like the quality of the paper, cover, and coil is very good and better than many other companies I have reviewed. The writing spaces are smaller than other typical planners bc of the layout. I am sorry if my video didn't show that well. I am glad you were bale to return it;)
Thank you for this review. I’d not heard of this planner and are so grateful to have found this video. I’m going to pre-order one now and aren’t even worried by how much extra it will cost me after adding on the cost of international postage and converting to Australian dollars.
This would be perfect for a family planner. I have 4 kids ages 11-15. I used the Spaces planner last year, but this is much better to see the week and the month at the same time. My kids would be more likely to reference this for their appts/school stuff/menu for the week. I love it.. The habit tracker I would use for kids chores. I love the thinner calendar planner too. That would be so great for planning my curriculum each month for school. I teach 1st grade. I'd love to have it all at a glance. Great review, Amanda and amazing planner. Will definitely try it out. Thanks.
This is such an interesting planner. I have been thinking about you need for the 3 different views and feel similar. I think this kind of solves the month and week view if you don't have much to detail for the week
I agree...if you don't need a lot of weekly space and want it all in one book this one is AMAZING:) I think I prefer my separated system still...but I love what she did here:)
It's a beautiful planner. It'd be perfect if I had a desk job and it'd look gorgeous. However I have severe ADD and can't make it work for my appointments because I micro plan the part of the day prior to that appointment, depending on what it is, I'll even micro plan from the day before. 🤔 unless I used a different notebook for the appointments maybe 🤷🏻♀️ other than that would be great. I'm a shift worker w/a side hustle and having the month at a glance at all times would prevent me from writing the same information repeatedly. I'd use dot markers or circle stickers to mark my short week's, my side hustle days, paydays and bills and not have to use my weekly pages for that purpose
I ordered using your code! I love this design so much! I've been realizing I need everything seen at once, which this planner delivers. I'm so excited to receive mine! I thought that the bookmark being the same size as the weekly pages is so thoughtful - I've written over my bookmarks accidentally and punctured the paper. Laurel Denise seems to have already thought of that by making the bookmark wider.
I understand why you would want to see an example of that. I don't have anyone that I know of to turn you to. Maybe put in the hastag #laurealdeniseplanner on Instagram and you can find some examples of one decorated.
This planner has really got my attention! I am very intrigued by the flexibility and the opportunity to keep the big picture view in the forefront. As I was checking out the website, I liked some of the accessories such as the sticky notepads. They seemed to be great options for expanding some of the areas or maybe reusing some notes and adding even more efficiency. I'm looking forward to giving this a try :)
Oh, great Darla;) I am glad you found the Laurel Denise. It is a beautiful planner and quality through and through:) Thanks for mentioning her notepads. I wish I had those to share too:)
To me, those boxes, etc. are way too small to write in. Depending on your handwriting, there might not be enough room for a person. It is too "long" for me. Takes up too much desk space when open. I would rather have more pages and a thicker planner than a longer and thinner one.
I understand all those concerns. This is a very unique layout and shape. But many people I've heard from have enjoyed using it;) Good thing we have so many options!
I love that big picture planner--am ordering now. I really hope she doesn't add a coil! It's so hard to find nice planners that are just simple and functional. I really hate coil planners' waste, bulk, and look.
Seems like she should make a pencil board for this planner. To help with the ridge. Other than that, I like this planner! It’s really well thought out.
I love the idea of this. (: I'm hesitant about the amount of space for daily to-dos. I dislike having more than one planner for the year, but I like to be able to break things down. I wonder if this would be an adequate amount of space? The interior design is amazing! I wish the cover didn't have the label and looked a little more chic, but the inserts are so unique I could get over it!
There isn't a lot of space of for a daily to do list. If you could use a separate little notebook for that (like I do) then maybe it could work for you;)
this planner is a pure work of art. I love the cover. However, my experience with planners coiled "horizontally" is that they aren't as functional to pick up and go. Maybe good for a desk. Also for me, I need a lot more for my weeks. I put in a lot of detail and the month is just the big picture. I hope she will do something weekly in the future. (ps, I love abstract art and am tempted to get this just for the cover lol)
After a year of bending it in half, just how well will the Big Picture Planner stay together?
I don't think you should fold it on it's back daily....I don't know how well that would hold up.
@@AmandasFavorites - Based on how her other book's binding looks, it does not look like it will last that long with "normal use".
Even pushing it down to lay it flat does not look too sturdy to me.
I think laying flat it would be fine...but of course I haven't used it for a year to test that.
Ya! I got both. Plan on using the All In One for content and Big Picture for my gardening planner.
Oh, love the ways you will use them!
I really love the idea of using the big picture for gardening. Hmm...
I would definitely use the Big Picture planner to track my monthly finances. Note in the monthly calendar when fixed expenses are due, varied expenses due, pay days, unplanned expenses, etc. I would use the right side for weekly notes, reminders with header labeled “ Week of 10/11”.

Gotcha...I didn't know pink was the only cover she had left. Making your own for now until she does her spring release is a great idea:)
Great idea! I ordered the Big Picture.
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it:) It's a great simple layout with lots of room!
I love this size and layout. It's very unique.
Thanks Dolores:) I agree!
🤗 Nice planner, but I'm not a fan of Monday starts and this is bigger than I need. But, it's inspired me to do a DIY planner/journal for 2022! 👍🏾
Oh, good! I am so glad it was inspiration for you!
I saw this planner on Instagram and then came to UA-cam fore a review. I plan to use this as a teacher planner. I hope I like it. Thanks for the detailed review.
Oh, great:) I would love to know how it works out as a teacher planner:)

@@yellowladybug4010 thank you!
Makes me think of DIYFish, except printed and bound already!
What is DIYFish?
@@AmandasFavorites they are an etsy shop, she sells printable inserts. I think in the US/Europe she has authorised printers who can do all the hard work for you.
Dos DIYFish have the1/2sheet for the weeks? That is what really caught my eye.I have a thick planner and hate always turning pages.
@@leeannewarren9024 I don't know, check their shop. She does a lot of fold outs.
It looks like she was inspired by diyfish ❤
How big is it open?
It's about 23 inches all the way open...the exact measurement is probably on her website:)
That monthly would be Great for MONTHLY MEAL PLANNING. write meals in calendar then the columns on the right could be groceries lists or even meal prep planning
Oh, man! You are right! This would be an amazing meal planner:) Thanks Heather;)
This would be an amazing way to use this! I like freezer cooking and this would be a great way to keep my inventory organized
Oh it would be perfect for that!
The is quite unique especially the monthly.
Isn't it?! I love her creativity:) Totally outside the box on this one;)
I really appreciate the fact that the daily habits are all together and I can see the entire month at once so I can get a good look at the trends
I agree...monthly habit trackers tell me more than weekly ones;)
What a great idea. Monthly and weekly view all in one place.
I think so too! Very unique:)
CODE DOESNT WORK HELPPP
AHH DONT BUY FROM ETSY. BUY FROM HER SITE
NO HER SITE HAS $14 SHIPPING. ITS $55+ REGARDLESS
I am so sorry you've had frustration with this. I liked to her website which should work with the code. Did you get it to work?
@@AmandasFavorites I found this video on etsy where its $55 with free shipping, tried code but it apparently doesnt work on etsy.

I ordered this with the deep green cover and am going to use it as my desk work planner. The design is super functional and unique!
Oh, yay! And that cover looks beautiful!
Can anyone help me find a planner that would be good for someone that works Saturday’s? I am a hairdresser and it’s so hard to find something that doesn’t limit the space for Saturday’s.

So excited to see your 2022 review of this. Hard choices. So many great options! Thank you
Glad you liked it:) And so true about choices. There are so many amazing planners it gets harder every year!
I remain fascinated by this planner… I might need to jump on board. The watcher suggestions of a meal planner or home planner are ingenious.
I agree! wonderful suggestions! I learn so much from all of you:)
I LOVE THAT MONTHLY BINDER BOOK ALSO...NO COILS TO GET IN THE WAY.
Right?! So many uses!
You find the best hidden gems!! I already ordered my second Kit Life and am trying to decide if I need this too LOL
There are so many amazing planners out there!
Love the design. I only wish there was a Sunday start. 🙁
I hear ya;) I am a Sunday start gal too on the monthly:)
I really wish the zoomed out monthly planner was made to fit in the yearly planner. Thanks for the review!
