I love the Focused line and am so glad I've found your review! Not many creators use it. I've been using the Focused Academic planner and it's planner peace. I love how the weeklies are set up and I love the how clean the design is. The vegan leather covers feel so nice in hand, too. I'll have to check out how you use the Focused Lifeplanner weekly, because the layout is the only thing I'm not sure about. Thanks for sharing!
Happy to meet another Focused lover! You’re right, they’re so much easier to work with and I love how you said “Planner Peace” 🖤 I’ll definitely have a follow up video on how to use the weekly pages soon.
I will be getting the Inspire vertical in the fall as I am a calendar year person but the agenda inserts are tempting as I have a Flora agenda sitting here that I love
You’re very welcome! I love planning but I don’t prefer all the decorations and bright colors. I just need to know what I’m doing and when I’m doing it. 😄
Was just looking for a monthly only and didn’t realize they made one. Just ordered the soft bound focused and am excited for it. Now I may have to pick up the monthly only for my On-the-go. Loved this video and you have a new subscriber.
Thank you so much! My dad got that chess set when he was 6 years old in Mexico. It’s solid marble and he carried it himself all around the market. It’s my very favorite thing he left me when he passed away. 🥰🥰
Thank you for a great review! The pens are gel pens this year. I love the A5 ring agenda and plan on the Canvas inserts with inspire &/or wildflower accessories.
Thank you Lulu! I didn’t realize they had changed to gel this year. Appreciate you dropping in the correction. And I’m happy to hear from someone who uses the Ring Agenda! I really want to switch to it but I write pretty big. Did it take a while for you to transition to a smaller format?
im also soooo glad they are selling the inserts solo. their ring folios are not big enough, i use 35mm rings and the dailies. my ring is my catch all. it is my life.
im also so so glad they dud canvas this year in dailies - last year i did focus ring for the months/tabs and re-dated months of the neutral from the year before. and the multi liners im so excited about. new subscriber !
so glad you got two things I am interested in. so hard to find you tubers who do. my main complaint about the add ons for the ring planner is that they all have tabs at the same spot on the page AND they have the first page start on the tab page. it should be a divider! lol
I agree with you Catie, that’s the thing I don’t like about the inserts too. I’ve been playing around with the system a little and I think what I may do is store the blanks in the back behind the tabs, and move just one sheet of each insert to the back of each month. That way I have them for each month or week instead of flipping to the tabs each time I want to fill one out. Maybe that would work for you too?
@@lelaburris i already have tabs for a lot of sections i have. so ill likely use the accessory sections with those. but ill have to see. i think i am only getting the meal planning one, since the budget one is a little wonky it seems.
Thank you for the thorough review of the ring binder and the focused planner. Love it and subscribed. How does the planner folio close after adding accessories and 4 pens in the loops? I'm curious because I'm debating getting for the 7x9 or just getting the ring binder.
I had trouble getting the zip folio to close with the pens inside, so I don’t think the pen loops are very useful to be honest. Maybe if you have very slim pens, but if I end up using this folio I likely won’t put pens inside and continue just using my pen pouch. Hope that helps!
I’m with you! I think the Inspire and Wildflowers are both beautiful, but my brain can’t handle all that distraction when I’m trying to plan my chaotic schedule. 😅

Fall is a great time to get a new planner, and the inspire is so beautiful in person. I can’t wait for you to see it!
Finally someone with a different style. Thanks ❤

So glad you enjoyed it, and you're going to LOVE the Focused planner. It's so nice to minimize all the distractions.
I loved the chess board and pieces on the shelf!! Soooo beautiful

@@lelaburris it's really beautiful and it ir a beautiful memory! I'm sorry about your father. May he rest in Peace.
Great video. The wildflower and inspire pens are gel pens now. Not ballpoint anymore.
Oh thank you Lisa!! I appreciate you sharing that. I must have missed the memo. 😁
I didn’t know they were launching some A5 wellness inserts! Thanks for sharing!
You’re very welcome! Those inserts are going to be awesome!

The solo inserts is such a great offering this year, I agree. That way we can keep the folios we already have.
Where do you get that size ring?

Yes! I agree with you, I will definitely be buying the daily inserts on Launch Day. 🙌🏼

Does the focus planner come in 18 months?
No, the Focused is only 12 month. But the Canvas coil-bound Lifeplanner comes in 18 months.
I finally see one that isn't the Inspire design. I usually love their bright colors, but that one is a little too bright for me.
