It's officially my second favorite time of the year - PLANNER SEASON! (My first favorite is Christmas, in case you're wondering.) I've partnered with some of the best planner companies to bring you an EPIC 2019 PLANNER REVIEW with gobs of photos inside and out, plus a video walk-through to highlight the features of each one! Finally, I'm rating each planner on several factors - durability, paper quality, customization options, and value - so you can decide which one is right for you!

EPIC 2019 PLANNER REVIEW
DISCLOSURE: Planners in this post were provided for free or a discounted rate in exchange for an unbiased review. All photos, video, and opinions are 100% my own.
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been infatuated with office supplies. I used to get my mom to buy teacher planners and agendas just so I could play with them. Now that I’m a grown-up, I buy my own planners (thank you very much!) and honestly, I depend on my planner to help me stay organized and on task.
I love discovering new planners, so I reached out to several planner companies to put together a 2019 Planner Review!
HOW THIS REVIEW WORKS:
- Each planner has its own slide show of gorgeous photos to show you the inside and outside.
- Below each slide show, you’ll find a rating system that rates each planner on a scale of 1-5 based on 4 factors – durability, paper quality, customization, and value.
- There are links to purchase each planner. Some of these are affiliate links and will be marked as such.
- All opinions are 100% my own.
I’ve also got a video that will show you a page-by-page walk-through of each planner for even more detailed information!
Now let’s get on with the planner party!
