Life Planners from Unique Planners: Review
One thing I am not good at is being organised, organised chaos yes, but actually writing things down in a fashion where I can easily find them when needed to.
One of must does this year was to get more organised with the blog and when I should be doing things. Sadly however, I am only just managing to get into the swing of that; I now have a notepad of incoming items and small piece of paper with my schedule on for the coming weeks, not really the best way to be doing things (Sally has already ruined one set of notes, by knocking tea over it). So that means in the long term., I am looking for a better way to do thing and I hope to do that with the help of this beautiful planner from Unique Planners.
One of the things that caught my eye about Unique Planners first of all was the sheer variety of ideas you can pick from on their website, from hard backed wire bound to soft covered easy to slip in your hand bag ones, they offer a size and format to suit everyone.
After a lot of thoughts I decided to personally go for the a4 sized hardback build your own diary; this is because I felt it would fit well on my side table and would offer a large writing area for all the bits I needed to scribble down, when it comes to keeping on top of blog work.
I found that Unique Planners offer a variety of ready to use cover designs, from those you can use as is, to those you can add your photos to. Alongside the ability to design your own from scratch should you be feeling creative. I decided to go with the readymade dog front and back cover and of course added on some photos of Sally.
When it comes to main diary area, I left this as they suggested and just added in a little note section onto each week to give me an area to brain storm should I need it. That meant, for me, the fun started when I got to the back pages of the planner.
The Unique Planner website offers a whole host of ideas for the latter pages of your diary, with many specifically tailored to different functions, such as those perfect for teacher, those to help with wedding planning, to those that include games and motivational quotes. What I really loved though was the range of pages they had for bloggers, which meant I was able to add pages to keep track of stats, post ideas, promotional codes and more.
The one thing that struck me about the Unique Planners website was how simple to use it is, it walks you through the steps in an easy to follow manner, so you know what you need to do and how to do it and as such you don’t get overwhelmed, which is a feeling I have felt on other websites previously.
Once you have put together the main bulk of the diary, you can then choose to add on extras, such as ribbon, inner plastic cases and more to help really give that finishing touch you love (again you get a huge choice of different colours, meaning the only issue you might have is picking what you like best).
I found that my diary was delivery quickly and without fuss, arriving in fact within a matter of days and I have to say I was really impressed by the quality of the planner. The front colour is wonderfully colourful, the inside pages and easy to follow and read and I just can’t wait to start using it. The only shame is that I didn’t start it sooner, rather than having to wait until the New Year.

This is really sounds like a good planner. I always use my planner for everything!
Your planner is such a beautiful thing! I’m glad that can do my own planner too. It’s important in our lives to have a planner.
I am not big on planning. Maybe I should be, but it has never been something that I have been at doing. Now, my sister love to plan and this would make a great Christmas gift.
I really like this pretty planner. I use my computer’s calendar to help me stay organized but I find that writing things down helps a lot too!
This is really pretty! I would love to have one. I’m a big fan of planners, I can’t live without mine.
This is so cute! I totally want to get more into using a planner. I really need that organization in my life, and this seems like a good place to start looking for one!
It is absolutely fab and there is so much choice as well.
LOL, organized chaos, I can totally relate. The planners are adorable. I have messy handwriting so keep everything digitally.
Then someone tries to tidy it up for you and you lose everything 😉 lol
This would have to be the cutest planner I have ever seen! I just scribble away in a notebook so this would make things much easier.
Maaaaannnn… I was looking for a new planner a couple of months ago, but couldn’t find a customiseable one in the UK! I’m annoyed I didn’t know about Unique Planners before!
Oh no what a shame! I’m not sure how they have been around I have to admit – perhaps next time 😉
I’ve just started a bullet journal as I love to keep organised. This planner is typically the kind of notebook I love!
I keep hearing about bullet journals I definitely need to look into the idea more.
ooo i love how there’s a dedicated blog post ideas etc. such an easier way to keep organised
It is great isn’t it – I have to admit there is so much choice when it comes to blogger and even business bits.
I love my planner but have been wondering what kind to get for next year. This one definitely seems like a good otpion.
I was just think of getting a new planner for next year. This one looks so nice.
This looks like a wonderful planner. I can’t live without my planner and calendar. It really helps keep me on track on an everyday basis.
I’ve been using the same planner for over a year now. It works great but is totally falling apart. Time to invest in a new one. Love this design.
This looks like an amazing planner!! I love that it has a place to joint down blog post ideas, great way to keep track of deadlines too.
It is so good – it’s definitely going to save me a lot of scrap paper next year I think.
I love planners, I used a digital one this year but, I always love having one like this. Bookmarking for the coming year.
In theory I should probably do better with a digital one but I’ve never been able to make the switch completely.
Yes Yes Yes Yes YES! I have been searching for a blog related planner for a while as I am going to be letting my Sister-In-Law know what I want for Christmas this week – this looks ACE! x
Haha glad to have helped – it’s a bargain as well, especially when you use the discount code 😉
I need to get my organized this coming year. I could use a planner like this! It’s very colorful which is what I like and keeps me organized it’s a win-win!!
It is wonderfully colourful and you can change the colours on some of the pages as well.
This looks like a fab planner – its great that you can pick from a variety of ideas
I love using planners. I know that everything can be done on your phone, but there is something about having that beautiful book in front of me that makes me happy.
I totally agree, I’m always being told to put things in my phone so I don’t forget and I forget them more than if I don’t lol
I love planners I’m going to check out unique planners as I’m in the need of a new one for next year. I only started using them in the last few years as I hate being disorganised and I’m better at remembering things since using one.
I think planners are good, I normally keep scrap pieces of paper around LOL and as I blog mostly in advanced it would be easier for a planner to have to check off. I might treat myself to one x
Haha that’s been what I’ve been using of late, but I seem to lose them so I’m hoping this will help me be better organised 😉
I actually started using a planner this year. I was tired of having notes scribbled everywhere. It’s really helped me keep track of everything and I love having it all in one place.
I’m really hoping it will help me in the same way *crosses fingers*
I love this idea. I am a complete stationery addict and love trying new planner ideas, so thank you as I am going to take a look at these for next year.
It is fab honestly – I was so surprised by the quality and choice will definitely be used a lot next year.
