Start Where You Are Week-at-a-Glance Diary

This is my absolute favorite planner. This is the third one I've purchased. I love how it's undated because I enjoy writing in the dates myself. There are also several uplifting quotes throughout the journal that just adds to this perfect planner. I 100% recommend you make this purchase!

I accidentally ordered this and it was the most fun purchase I’ve made. The best gratitude journal I’ve ever had!! It’s inspirational, beautiful, & fun. I love it!!

The cover is soft, and the pages are a smooth material that make writing on it with pencil easy and comfortable. Every 5 sets of weekly pages has a couple of pages with an excellent quote written artfully, Goals, Important Dates checklist, and a notes section. You write in the dates of the week for each 2-page weekly view and circle the month. This is my favoirte features becuse I sometimes I skip planning some weeks, so I can use this planner past the caldear year. There is no month view, only a 12-month year veiw with the months printed (no dates, no year). Enjoy!

This agenda is adorable. The cover has a slightly soft texture to it and is the size of a normal small agenda/small notebook. The inside has weekly agenda pages that are undated, with the twelve months along the top left page for you to circle what month you're working in. This makes it perfect to start anytime of the year. Each month is marked by an inspiration quote illustrated by Meera Lee Patel and a summary sheet for you to list important dates and notes for the month ahead. I love the illustrated pages and wished more of them were incorporated into the weekly agenda! Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

If you are a fan of noting things down with a good ol’ fashioned paper and pencil than this is perfect for you! I just adore this little diary. The beautiful decorated planner is illustrated by Brooklyn-based self-taught illustrator Meera Lee Patel. The diary is pleasing to look at with its bright and pretty covers. I love that it fits so perfectly in pretty much any purse I use. So while it is small enough to come with you it is large enough to use. The diary is not-dated, so it can be used any year that begins with 20__. This makes it especially customizable. There’s a nice script, flowy font with cream-colored pages. Each month is marked by an inspiration quote illustrated by Patel. There is a summary sheet for important dates and notes for the month ahead. I love the pages with the times zones… as a blogger, I am constantly converting time over and seeing when something should post all around the US or the world, for that matter. I don’t generally use the measurement conversion page but it’s nice to have. I also LOVE the cheat sheet for the Roman Numerals… what a hard concept for me to take in for some reason! You have the normal pages for birthdays by months and several pages for listing your contacts. I do wish it was a hardcover instead of the soft but that's just a small thing. I would also prefer that it was spiral bound as the cover creases every time you open it. I could see this becoming a problem and the cover finally warring off over time and coming free from the diary. This thought does sadden me as a diary is personal and how can it really be personal when there is no cover? You see the dilemma, I’m sure. I really love the illustrated pages and wished there was more of them throughout the diary. I received this diary from Blogging for Books with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

Beautiful cover with swirls of color, gold printing, and that ultra-soft, smooth texture that almost feels like powdered skin. The pages are ivory. The book is bound like a standard paperback, meaning in order to write in it properly/comfortably, you very well might have to flatten it so much that would no longer lie perfectly flat and/or the cover would curl. It would have been nicer as a spiral-bound or something. I was expecting more of a diary/journal, but this is a pretty typical week-at-a-glance calendar that you can start using at anytime because it isn't printed according to any particular year. The first page spread is a year-at-a-glance (12 boxes=12 months). The next page is for important dates/notes with an inspirational quote and colorful artwork on the facing page with a small box labeled "goals." The next section is the bulk of the book: each page spread is a week divided up into 6 rectangles (3 on each page; Sat/Sun combined). There are 5 such page spreads for each month (the name of the month left blank so you can begin at any time). Each day offers about 2.5"x4.5" space to write in with Sat/Sun combined in one space. After every 5 weeks, there is another page spread with an inspirational quote and colorful artwork on the left and room for important dates/notes on the right before the next month of 5 weeks begins. There are, of course, 12 months in all with 5 weeks each. The inspirational quotes include the likes of Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Antoine de Saint Exupery, Thoreau, and Emerson. The book ends with a few pages of info on time zones, conversions for measurements, traditional anniversary gifts, a place to list each month's birthdays and contacts/addresses.

It was a wonderful book! I just wish it was bigger!

Hoping my daughter will use this daily, it is a Christmas gift but seems very nice and well done.
