Erin Condren Life Planner Review: A Beautiful Planner for Time Management 

Last updated on January 20th, 2021

    5 / 5 ( 3 votes )

    It’s not only a planner’s structure that matters but its design too. Erin Condren’s Life Planner is known for its beautiful design options.

    You can even personalize it at an extra cost. In our Erin Condren Life Planner review, we cover what sets it apart from other planners, an overview of what customers think, and the advantages and disadvantages of this planner.

    What Problem the Product Solves and What Separates It from the Rest

    The Erin Condren Life Planner is designed to help improve time management. Time management is how you divide your time among different activities. Poor time management can cause stress and decrease productivity.

    Erin Condren 12 Month Undated Softbound Focused Planner 8x10 - Features a Navy Colored Cover, Layflat Design, College Ruled Lined Note Pages, Dot Grid Note Pages, Monthly and Weekly Planning Spreads

    It has a stylish layout for those who care about aesthetics.

    This planner is also designed in a way that you can further customize its design to your liking with stickers, markers and washi tape.

    The classic Erin Condren Life Planner is a coiled planner. The hardbound version, an option that was introduced a few years ago, is a great option for those who don’t want a spiral binding.

    If you like using a lot of sticker sets, then the coiled option is probably the better choice for you. The hardbound version is ideal for those who want larger boxes to write in.

    Erin Condren occasionally upgrades their Life Planner and introduces more cover options. The Hardbound Life Planner has a different design than the coiled but its structure is mostly the same.

    Erin Condren 12 Month Undated Softbound Focused Planner 8x10 - Features a Navy Colored Cover, Layflat Design, College Ruled Lined Note Pages, Dot Grid Note Pages, Monthly and Weekly Planning SpreadsThe planner has flexibility in how you write your goals on the goal setting spread.

    You can use each box for monthly goals or categories like health, family, career, finances and personal development.

    You can choose a 5″ x 8″ or 8″ x 10″ size. The smaller size has a horizontal weekly layout, and the larger size has a vertical weekly layout.

    In comparison, the coiled LifePlanner is 7″ x 9″, falling somewhere in between the hardbound.

    Erin Condren’s planners are known for being colorful, but you have neutral options in the Hardbound Life Planner too.

    With this planner, it’s possible to have it personalized at an extra cost. You could have your name or a short phrase on the cover of your planner. There are inspirational quote pages throughout the planner that can help you stay motivated toward living your best life. Examples of quotes you may see in the planner:

    “Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated.”

    “You have everything inside you to be and do anything you want.”

    “Live what you love.”

    “Stop wishing; start doing.”

    “Do all that you can and all that you thought you could not.”

    “A little progress each day adds up to big results.”

    Many planners only include one type of note pages, but the Erin Condren Life Planner has a mixture of dot, lined and blank note pages. At the end of the planner, there is a two-page spread you can use to plan the next year as well.

    Erin Condren 12 Month Undated Softbound Focused Planner 8x10 - Features a Navy Colored Cover, Layflat Design, College Ruled Lined Note Pages, Dot Grid Note Pages, Monthly and Weekly Planning SpreadsThe Erin Condren Life Planner features flexible layouts that can work for many different people, including students and working professionals.

    In the Hardbound Life Planner, you have a section for notes at the bottom of the calendar overview. You can write big-picture notes there. The coiled version doesn’t have this notes section.

    In the dated versions of the Erin Condren Life Planner, holidays are automatically listed.

    Some of the holidays have a tiny graphic to go along with it like a heart besides “Valentine’s Day.”

    Because the coil binding takes up some space in the coiled version, the boxes are larger in the hardbound version.

    What Customers Are Saying

    Customers like the flexibility this planner offers as many of the boxes aren’t labeled, so you can customize it to suit your lifestyle. They also like its beautiful, high-quality design.

    Among negative customer reviews, some people didn’t like the undated version because they sometimes can’t fit all the days in the month.
