I've been using the Start Planner since 2017. I've had both the weekly and the monthly planners. The last few years I've stuck with the monthly so I can see my weekly meetings & appointments in one glance. The planner has other useful sections like planning monthly budget, yearly goals, monthly goals, grocery shopping year out list, travel planning, extra note pages every month & at the end, look ahead pages for next year to jot down next year's appointments. It's great to look back to prior planners when looking for past doctor appointments and budget items. I love this planner and it comes it different selections depending on your needs. Always thoughtful and beautifully put together.
I have been a customer for many years so I decided to get the fancy pants for the years to come. It is great quality, has fun accessories available, and the layout we all love!
This is year 11 using the STARTplanner system. I highly recommend this planner. You will not need anything else. There are places to keep track of everything. Budgets, workouts, supplements, meal planning, shopping, gifts, cards, dates, plans, projects, vision boards.... I could keep writing and writing. I recommend this planner to everyone I know and usually when using my planner I get questions about the beautiful design and the luxurious pages. I highly recommend the dust bag and fun accessories like the pen holder and stickers. Oh and one more thing, there are perforated pages to make lists and peel them out to use on the go. I like to use the mini bestie in my purse when carrying a large planner doesn't suit. Then I transfer all the info as soon as I sit down again to plan. Kristy also has amazing classes to sign up for and learn all about organization and I have also learned so much from the engaging online community.
So, I have been a customer since 2017 and have tried almost all of the planners - from Fancy Pants, Weekly dated & Daily dated. I have ADD and having an entire year overwhelms me at times. These quarterly undated planners are literally life. It contains everything the full-year planners have but just 3 months at a time = perfection for my ADD brain. I still have my yearly daily and will always purchase a yearly planner because how can you not? Give them a try - they are THE BEST at everything they do - from the art/design to customer service. Love this company and its products!
In January I decided to branch out to a different planner after using the daily Start planner daily for 5 years. It was an undated 6 month planner.
What a mess putting in my dates and adding monthly tabs.
The motif on the front was wearing off.
Starting my Start planner in July and I am super excited!
I’ve used so many planners and always come back to Startbrands. The quality is unmatched and it includes everything I need. I am a homeschooling Mom and I have also gone to school and worked all at the same time, and this planner allowed space for me to keep track of everything. Excellent customer service as well!
I LOVE this planner! I have tried other planners (Colibri paper company was the closest I found to this one, but still wasn’t exactly what I wanted) and always come back to START! The daily/weekly layout works perfect for my busy schedule and there are so many features to help track habits and goals and to keep my focused on my priority to-do items. It’s a beautiful product that LASTS. I ordered accessories for the first time this order. There was a mixup with the order but the response was immediate (within 24 hours). They let me keep the extra items, immediately shipped my missing accessories, and the message came from Kristy herself. Awesome product and awesome customer service!
I love this brand. I’ve tried other planners and always come back to this one!

I ordered accessories this time and there was a mixup with the order, but the response was immediate (within 24 hours), they let me keep the extra product, immediately shipped my missing items, and the message came from Kristy herself. Amazing company, well run, and awesome products!
This is my first purchase from Startbrands. Even at holiday time, their shipping was quick and I was able to get started with my new planner. The layout is excellent for me, and the goal setting pages have already been very helpful. I have been able to start breaking down my goals for 2025 into do-able steps. The product itself is beautiful and very well made!
I love STARTplanner. I’ve been using them and gifting them for years!!!
I absolutely love this planner. It's beautiful and very well made. Start keeps stepping up their items every year!!
I love it.
Should include at the top of pages “date”
Love my planner!! I've moved from daily to weekly and am excited for planner day with my daughter. Highly recommend this system.
I've been using SmartBrands planners for a few years now. Love them!

It would be nice to have the meal planning with the weekly layout. I would like to be able to see the week and the month at the same time.
But other then that, I love this planner. I have not found anything out there as good as yours.
Hey Carrie! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review—we truly appreciate it!
Just a quick note: every Weekly layout does include meal planning at the bottom of each page. It’s designed so you can plan your meals and then use the weekly tear-out list to build your grocery list—knowing exactly what you already have vs. what you need. Then just tear it out and take it with you!
So glad you’re loving the system! We’re grateful for your support!
Warmly,
Kristy

I LOVE my start planner and have tried many systems. The only thing that keeps me from a 5 star rating is that I miss the Monday start.
I have been a fan of the StartPlanner for years! As a person with ADHD, having guided prompts helps me stay focused and not get lost in a world of day-dreaming and stickers. I feel more productive and enjoy checking off my task list each day! Thank you for such a wonderful planner! I ordered one for myself and my college son!
I have been using the Start Planner system for many years and love it. I have used the Start planner spiral daily and love it, I am now using the A5 inserts and love it as well.

This is my 5 year purchasing a Start planner and I can honestly say I will never use another brand. This planner has everything you need from vacation planning, budgeting, monthly view, weekly view, and daily time blocking! It’s the best! 🙌🏻
This is my first time with the Start planner, cant wait to see how the year goes and start realizing my dreams and accomplish my goals.
I literally can't imagine my weeks and year without this amazing resource! I use it every single day and recommend it to all of my clients and associates.
I am always impressed by the quality of my weekly start planner! I miss the case bound version but I love the way my whole life is organized because of this planner!
I've been using Start Brands planners since 2018 and let me tell you—I LOVE THESE PLANNERS! While they're not the cheapest option, the time and effort I save from not having to supplement with additional tools make them well worth it!!. These planners allow me to organize everything, and I mean EVERYTHING in one location, from budgeting and goal setting to vacation planning and gratitude journaling. Kristy and her team have left NOTHING.....NOTHING out!
I do use digital tools for accessibility and portability, but nothing beats having everything in one place. When I first purchased this particular daily planner, it was by accident—I meant to buy the weekly version. However, because the weekly planner lacks space for journaling, I decided to keep the daily one and get creative by inserting a weekly "index" & weekly to-do list and use the daily to-do section for writing space. (I'm pretty sure this will work).
While I think the price might be a drawback for some, the comprehensive nature of these planners makes them an ABSOLUTELY MUST-HAVE FOR ME. Start Brands planners have been my go-to for 6 years now, and I have searched extensively for a less expensive option. I have finally decided to stop wasting my time. This works for me and I don't plan on switching any time soon.
10 years ago I was browsing on my phone in bed and discovered this STARTplanner. I ordered and wondered if it could be a legit site, guess what? It is the MOST legit site and the BEST planner I have ever owned. Many of my friends love looking at my planner and have ordered some for themselves over the years. I am proud to say I have been faithful to STARTplanner since 2015. I hope to be still using this planner for the next 10 years. Everything is in this planner, it is efficient, beautiful, sturdy, and complete. I have bought different accessories over the years, and each year I do more and more with my planner. I wish I lived closer to the warehouse so I could visit and help with distribution. I enjoy the online community and I enjoy the classes offered. If you haven't bought one of these planners, do it today and you will not be disappointed. You will wish you had started sooner.
This planner is great! Being a Social worker the to do list is wonderful! Because I use an electronic calendar, the schedule page I use for notes. Having the budget sheet is also great because wherever I go with my planner I can view my budget and know if anything needs paid!
