Back when I was younger I started out my day planning days with a tiny plastic covered planner that fit in my pocketbook. It was about the size of index cards. You know the kind. Then I realized I needed something that I could write more than 4 letters on that date and I upgraded to buying one from Home Goods. It usually cost less than $15 and I'm not knocking them. They can be great if you're just keeping track of appointments or a note throughout your days. BUT, if you truly want a planner that helps with EVERYTHING, START planners are the way to go. I bought one the first year, didn't use most of the stuff it tracked and figured I didn't need to spend the money the next year. The next year I went back to my Home Goods planner. 3 months into the year, I bought a START planner. It tracks meals, water, appointments, finances, birthdays, holiday planning...you name it. I still don't use everything it tracks because for me it takes awhile to be disciplined enough to really get everything down. However, each year (hell, every few months) I'm able to start keeping track of a little more with my life. Planning has never been my strong suit but this planner will surely help you get there. I have tried the daily and the weekly. I like both. I think I like the weekly better for my life as far as seeing my entire week at a glance. I like the size of the daily better. It's thicker than the weekly but the overall dimensions with height and width are smaller. It's really up to you. I do wish it was less expensive but truly I love the aesthetics and everything it does.
