Erin Condren Life Planner Review 2015-2016

For the past 5 years, I’ve ordered an Erin Condren Life Planner and used it daily to plan our days. It’s always with me, and I’m constantly jotting down notes and quick to-do lists, setting monthly goals, and getting everyone right where they need to be each day!

My friends at Erin Condren sent me one of the new horizontal editions, and I was super excited to get my hands on the planner and see all of the new features.

And to my surprise, the new pens are amazing as well. EC updated the pens and they are new and improved. I especially love the custom fitted plastic case they come in, to help keep them together.

I’m going to highlight a few of my favorite things about the 2015-2016 edition of the planner. It has many of the things I know and love from Erin Condren. Like laminated tabs, the interchangeable cover, monthly spread, and plastic pocket in the back to keep important things safe and easily accessible. The keep it together pocket is double-sided and feels more durable than in the past.

The coil is a little larger this year and the vellum overlay for the cover adds a little fancy to the Life Planner.

This year, there are two pages at the front that would be great for goal planning/tracking. There are 6 spots on each side, it would be a great place to track monthly goals and progress.

The monthly view didn’t change much. It’s still full of color and I love that the notes section on the side stayed. It’s one of my favorite places to jot down important reminders. The best thing is the lined page for notes before each month.

Here’s my new favorite part. You can choose a vertical or horizontal layout. I feel like the vertical layout is great, but I don’t ever use it the way it is intended. It’s also a little narrow for my handwriting, and I always end up going into the next day’s space. The horizontal layout is a much better choice for me. I love the space to write and it definitely had me falling in love with the planner all over again!

Another fun addition to the planner is the Designer Sticker Book. A book full of stickers that would be a fantastic addition to any planner. The colors match the Life Planner with a pop of metallic color. 

Want your own? I would definitely recommend getting the quick-ship planner! It’s ready to ship and comes with a coupon for a custom cover, you can use the coupon to design your cover later, but ensure that the planner is in your hands as soon as possible. The planners will be on sale tomorrow! And I hear there’s an ultra luxurious Rose Gold edition that we’ll all be swooning over!
