Full Focus Gray Linen Planner by Michael Hyatt – The #1 Daily Planner to Increase Focus, Eliminate Overwhelm, and Achieve Your Biggest Goals – Hardcover

Oh I like
First time I purchased it came with dents and the cover was dirty like a sort of glue smudged all over it. The second one I bought came with a minor dent on the corner but kept it because I was eager to try this planner. It’s been day 3 and honestly it REALLY does help you focus. Focus on your life, focus on yourself. I find myself reflecting on what I am doing throughout my day to take notes to jot in my planner. The goals at the beginning and the big three for everyday really make huge goals come to the forefront of my day. I highly recommend this. It may be a stretch to say this but honestly it’s changing my life patterns. Exactly what I was looking for and needed!

Completely new to Michael Hyatt, but I LOVE this planner/goal-tracker!!
I’ve always loved organizers. I started carrying a Daytimer when I was 14 (year section, month section, day section), and that system worked really well for me until adulthood. Then, suddenly, those calendar systems didn’t seem relevant. They weren’t flexible enough for the ever-changing plans of the work world (my boss doesn’t write a syllabus for me!), and they didn’t capture my priorities. When you’re a student, your priorities are pretty much set for you. You go to school, do your homework, maybe do sports or music or a part-time job (all of which are scheduled for you), and then hang out with your friends, who are always nearby and have time to hang out.Since then, I’ve experimented with about 30 different systems, including a dozen online methods. I finally gave up and created my own, using 1 zippered notebook for my daily tasks and errands and another to track my long-term goals, health measures, budget, and so forth. That has worked out okay, but it’s clunky. And I didn’t find a way to visualize my priorities and figure out how to be disciplined but also flexible.I am incredibly impressed with the FFP. I didn’t know anything about Michael Hyatt until I read a book of his recently, and I have no connections to him or his company, but the system he put together is really brilliant. He’s figured out how to create a compact planner that combines and prioritizes long-term goals, short-term goals, and daily tasks. His daily layout is very similar to the layout I’d created myself, with a small vertical section to show appointments, to-do list, and free-form section. The part that’s new for me is the constant review and reflection. Also, I love, love, love that he includes weekends! It drives me crazy when planners don’t have them. If I don’t structure my weekends, they completely vanish on me. I have to plan my weekends if I want to make sure I’m socializing, pursuing hobbies, and getting household errands done.Okay, so there’s all of that, but let me say just a bit about the book itself. It’s very well designed. It has all the features I look for in planner-style notebooks: elastic to hold the cover down, sturdy cover that’s water-resistant, tight binding, neutral color, AND an envelope in the back cover. This is so important. At times, I’ve pasted my own envelope into planners, because I always want to have some stamps, envelopes and checks with me. I also like to carry repositionable tabs for marking sections. Apparently, marking sections is important to MH as well, because his book has 2 ribbons instead of 1.This book won’t totally replace my system, because I still want a tangible place to record my budget and health markers. But it replaces everything else I’ve been using. And I’m very excited to see if the weekly goals review increases my accomplishments. Right now, I’m only hitting about 20% of my long-term goals.I know this is a long and rambling post, but I’m just so impressed. Oh, one last thing is that he has you plan 2 morning rituals and 2 evening rituals, 1 set to bracket your awake time (meditation, exercise, etc.), and 1 set to bracket your hours at work (filling water bottle, cleaning up your desk, etc.).

new favorite planner!
I have been an avid user of journals/planners for decades, this one is by FAR my favorite, I knew as soon as I saw it that I would love it, and Im on my second one now. Yes, its expensive, but for me this is a nice luxury spend that feels like a worthwhile investment in myself. (And it lasts 3 months, I spent $50 at a stadium on a pizza and 2 margaritas and that only lasted 2 hrs.) The format is clean and logical, and just the right balance between detailed enough without being overkill. I love that it helps me focus on 10 ‘goals’ at a time, and that I can start at any date I want (although the older version had 12 goals I noticed). I love that the lines are small and efficient. I was surprised to find this version is easier to write in than the spiral version. I like taking the time to really be intentional with what I want and how Im going to get from A to B. The weekly preview is great for preparing mentally for the week ahead on Sunday, and the daily pages have a notes section AND are great for maximizing your lists and leftover minutes here and there. But beyond productivity, this journal for me is about alignment, about being intentional and correcting those little ways I get mindlessly off track. Can’t say I would change anything about this planner. 5 stars!

Prácticamente lo que necesitaba

Der Aufbau des Planers ist grandios. Mehr dazu und viele Videos gibt es auf der Seite von Michael Hyatt. Auch einen Podcast gibt es zu dem Planner

I loved the ifocus journal which seems to have run out of stock.This was the closest alternative I could find that encourages you to keep your to-do list in check.Each day you are asked to prioritise just three things.There are two bookmarks but three areas your really want to keep tabs on what’s happening for the week, the day and your bigger goals at the start.Each week you’re asked to go back over how you’re tracking towards reaching goals. I found I wanted more planning space than reflection. It just made me feel bad when I didn’t get everything done! So then I didn’t want to map the next week..A couple of months in I’m back to scribbling on a jotter next to me.
