Clever Fox Planner – Undated Weekly & Monthly Planner for Productivity, Time Management & Goals – Organizer Journal – A5 (Emerald)

COLLEGE STUDENT MUST
I love this thing!!! I’m so bad at planners but this is perfect for my classes as a full time student, working full time. I love the months being at the front (I can add none school related events), then the weeks after (allows me to see all of my assignments week after week), and the bullet journal in the back (my class schedule and any important notes) , plus bookmarks for each section!!! I save so much time not having to search through tons of pages. It has kept me organized and ready to go for all my classes. Plus the months and weeks are blank, so I can use it during the semesters and not waste pages for months or weeks I’m not in class. Also all the goals and trackers that you can personalize for your own life style. I can guarantee I will buy another when this one is completed. Also the Quality is AMAZING.

A College Student’s Life Line
I have officially been using this planner for two months. As someone who has tried everything from the Panda planner, to Blue Sky and even my phone, I’d say as a working college student I have had the best results with the Clever Fox. The first few pages of the planner (vision board, various life area goals and mind map) have helped me not only focus on my habits, but also see what I want to accomplish this year. Along with seeing accomplishments there are multiple sections throughout the planner to reflect on monthly/weekly accomplishments along with what can be improved on for the next. If you are new to using planners or wanting to improve on your organization but don’t know where to start, luckily this planner also comes with a guidebook. This guidebook provides tips for optimal note taking and how to prioritize your week. It goes into detail about what each section of the planner is meant for; from words of affirmation, to habit tracker, and even reflecting on the months and weeks. It should be noted that the monthly sections are grouped together instead of each month being right in front of the weekly sections. I personally prefer this opposed to having to flip through multiple pages to look at plans from one month to the next. Like the monthly sections, weekly sections are also grouped together one page after the next. Each week gets two pages, one side has Monday through Sunday. It may not have the best spacing for those who have larger handwriting as each day gets 3 lines to write in plans. The second page focuses promoting personal goals and achievements. There are two boxes to list weekly priorities and personal to-dos. Each week also comes with a section for notes in a bullet journal format. This I find great to get a little creative with my planner and draw up inspiring quotes to help me through the week. In the weekly habits and skills there are seven lines provided allowing you to focus on seven habits you would like to make or break. Personally, for me, here I track waking up at 6 am, eating breakfast, and making my lunch for the next day before bed. To add a little more creativity, I mark my accomplishment with smiles or frowns. The last section of the planner is filled with blank bullet journal pages. This offers room to have a mood tracker built in, doodle space, or as I use it, simply just for important notes I often refer to.All sections of the planner are undated, this could be a problem for most. I prefer it because I won’t be wasting pages if I skip a week or month of planning. This happens mostly in the months of June, July and August, when I have no classes or due dates to organize. It’s important to note that while this is an undated planner, there is only 12- month sections in the planner. I haven’t counted all the week pages, but I’d say it’s safe to assume there are enough to make a year as well.Continuing its organizational format, the planner is built in with three different colored ribbon to mark important sections. I use them to mark what month we’re in, along with the week, and the next clear page of notes that are open. This prevents me from flipping through pages trying to find my spot or wasting posits to mark my place. The back of the planner comes with a little pocket to hold small forms. I store stickers, small posits, and business cards here. Built into the planner is a pen holder. In my 2 months of usage it has managed to hold up with no sign of unbinding with the planner. It also comes with an elastic band built into the back of the cover. It allows for the planner to stay closed while in my bag and prevents pages from bending when in my backpack. The pages are thick enough that I am able to use gel pens and highlighters without seeing the colors bleed through the pages. The planner itself is sturdy, and hard back. It’s bonded with thread. I find it to be very compact, I’m able to carry it in a school bag, or purse. This allows me to carry it on the go where I am. The Clever Fox company provides a range of colors to pick from, I went with Canary Yellow because I wanted something bright that catches the eye. I am not at all disappointed with the color I received. It looks just like the photos.When it comes to receiving the product, I’ve had an interesting experience. I was pleased to find it is packaged in a white box with the fox logo in the color of the planner I ordered. Once opened I found my planner arrived with the pages inside upside down and backwards. It was a surprise to say the least. While not what I was expecting, a short time after emailing my concern to the seller I was provided with a cash refund. This simply was a mistake in production, and my planner’s faux pa went unnoticed. Even with the cash refund I was still able to keep the original planner. To me this seems that the company is confident and stands by the product. Due to this I chose to try again and re-order my planner. With my Amazon Prime membership, I received the planner two days after purchasing, and was delighted to find it in the condition promised in the photos. Even with the initial let down I was very pleased with the customer service I received when addressing the issue. From this I’d suggest that my first planner was just a rare fluke. Down below I’ll be adding photos of my first and second planner along with packaging, and guidebook.Overall, I would rate the Clever Fox Planner 4/5 stars. While it has helped me tremendously, I do believe there are a few improvements that could be made. Such as more room for writing for those with large penmanship. Adjusting a spot for affirmations to be included in the monthly or weekly sections rather than only one section at the beginning of the planner. This can allow users to not only be reminded of their affirmations daily, but also continue to find more as the year goes.

The item was sent without proper protection, only in the original foil, which resulted in the gift box being damaged. In such cases, Amazon refunds 8 euros for returns from the Netherlands, which doesn’t cover the return costs. This is ridiculous. The planner itself is very nice.

Ho deciso di dare una svolta alla mia vita cominciando a mettere per iscritto i miei obiettivi e studiando come poterli raggiungere. A tale scopo ero alla ricerca di un’agenda con un layout impostato che mi aiutasse ad avere uno schema logico da seguire.Devo dire che l’agenda Clever Fox ha soddisfatto appieno le mie aspettative!Il prodotto arriva in una elegante e robusta scatola con il marchi “Clever Fox” che denota la qualità del prodotto e la rende adatta anche ad un eventuale regalo.Al suo interno troviamo: l’agenda, una guida che ti aiuta a capire come iniziare a compilarla e tre pagine di stickers adesivi per marcare obiettivi e traguardi.L’agenda presenta una copertina rigida e piacevole al tatto molto simile ad una nota marca di agende che costano il triplo. Al suo interno, le pagine sono anch’esse di una qualità super: sono molto robuste, la rilegatura è ben fatta e sono presenti tre segnapagina per velocizzare l’apertura sulla sezione di interesse.L’agenda è divisa in sezioni: abbiamo una prima parte personale dedicata a capire sé stessi, a stabilire gli obiettivi e come raggiungerli e anche delle pagine dedicate alle mappe mentali; una seconda parte è dedicata al planning mensile; la terza al planning settimanale; la quarta ed ultima parte sono fogli in bianco per scrivere note o pensieri.La parte anno, mese, giorno è lasciata in bianco cosa che trovo molto utile perché così siete voi a decidere quando cominciare ad usarla.Le sezioni sono ben organizzate e presentano molti spazi in cui continuare a monitorare i vostri traguardi e come migliorare per raggiungerli. Molti si lamentano che lo spazio dedicato agli impegni settimanali sia poco, ma ricordo che vi è un’intera sezione di fogli “note” in cui poter continuare a scrivere qualora lo spazio non bastasse. Personalmente lo trovo adeguato.La guida (in lingua inglese di facile comprensione) e molto utile e di facile comprensione, con esempi ed immagini esplicative per poter iniziare nel migliore dei modi.Personalmente trovo molto utile il fatto che l’agenda sia pre-impostata consentendo così di concentrarmi solo sulla compilazione dei miei obiettivi, impegni, traguardi e analisi del progresso personale.Sono super soddisfatto dell’acquisto sia per la qualità del prodotto e l’attenzione ai particolari, sia per il prezzo di acquisto. Io l’ho trovata in offerta, ma anche a prezzo pieno il costo è veramente competitivo e la spesa vale davvero.Consigliata a tutti coloro che vogliono un’agenda per gli impegni ma allo stesso tempo amano tenere sotto controllo i propri obiettivi ed avere un mezzo per poter scrivere i propri pensieri!Spero che questa recensione vi sia stata UTILE 🙂
