I was already excited the moment I hit “checkout”. The softback texture feels incredible and the colours are absolutely stunning. Today was only my second day using it and I’ve already realised something important: I don’t usually spread my work evenly throughout the week. Yesterday I felt a bit overwhelmed with all the tasks and ticks… and today I suddenly had so much time to spare.
These planners are truly a blessing!

I love this planner! I have gone through at least 4-5 of the daily planners because I have found they help me stay productive and organised however they are quite heavy to carry around in my work bag. Since getting the 8-minute planner, I am now obsessed with this one! Firstly, it comes in the most gorgeous colours, but to then have a few prompts to check-in with yourself at the start and end of the day helps with daily planning and reflection instead of just jumping straight into your tasks! I also love that you can use one for each month! I will definitely be repurchasing!

Covers are good and easy to bring with you

Breaking planning down - from month to day to 8 minutes - has helped with my overwhelm. It allows for personalisation but thinking through, and mapping, plans has helped reduce the chatter. I really enjoy reviewing at the end of the day and being able to add in what I was actually able to accomplish because I started the day with a clear head.

super fast shipping & amazing product! i love my planner so much ive repurchased 3 times so now trying the smaller ones for ease of travel x

Could not survive without the very light and mobile version of my much loved Daily Planner. The routine had revolutionised my approach to my admin and i could not recommend more highly. Did I mention the aesthetics? Too polished fir words. My must-have any day of the week.

I love the product but the shipping costs and tariff costs made up 60% of what I paid in the end. I would love better shipping options for the people in the US

Absolutely in love with the colors and the set up of the planner has me fulfilling my tasks and projects with so much ease! Thank you!! ❤️

Love the contents, layout & colour choices. Seams coming apart after not a lot of use so a little disappointing but fine for short use

L
Louisa

Really easy to slot in as specific mindful moments at the start and the end of the day. I’m only a week in, but I definitely feel calmer and more productive.

Felicity Brown

I have already told my friends about this (and gifted two of my them planners!). I am good at deep, sustained work but hopeless at getting smaller things done - tpm has been transformative for this! I saw my mother last week (on time, had bought bday presents for my neices ahead of time, and set up an isa she'd be heckling me about etc) and she asked who I was and what I had done with her daughter.

Like the concept but boxes too small

Love these planners! They’re perfect for setting up my day and keeping me on track. It might sound a bit over the top, but they’ve really helped my mental wellbeing too - especially the prompts that help me end each day on a positive note. Would love to see more colour options in the future!

M
Maisie

I love the planner as a concept but the quality isn't as good as expected - the pages are quite thin, and as it is a paperback, it doesn't maintain its structure

E
Emma T.

I really like the practically of the soft cover, and have enjoyed with experimenting on how best to fill in and complete the sections. The time blocking section I found less useful, but work at the moment is so different day to day I couldn't spot patterns as easily.

PEACH J.

As an ex-bullet journal girlie who no longer has the time for elaborate spreads I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the format of these planners and I've found them to be SUPER helpful.

But my notebooks arrived with tears at a few of the corners and loose string on the binding which makes it pretty hard to justify the £24 price point (especially coming from a leuchtturm1917)

Ultimately these planners do exactly what they say on the cover, but the quality of the notebooks really do let them down

Ruby C.

It’s the perfect size to chuck in my bag with my laptop and the simplicity of it makes writing a to-do list less overwhelming.

M

Absolutely beautifully made product, it adds such a classy high quality and luxurious feel to my journaling and gorgeous in my handbag

L

Lightweight yet powerful — it helped me shift from overwhelm (and the edge of burnout) to feeling focused and productive. I’d been procrastinating over using my large productivity planners, but this gave me the manageable, bite-sized support I needed to move forward.

L
Lauren

The layout is super clear and amazingly helpful for getting focussed and just generally together! The concept is great and love the mission. That said, for the price I’ve been quite disappointed that after only a week of gentle use the binding has already started to come undone and the print quality across the pages varies a fair bit. Would recommend only on sale.

D
DJ

It's great, except I would love to be able to have a calendar or diary of some sort in it so that I can plan even better with dates in front of me.

V
Valerie

I’ve been using the original productivity planner for years now and being an ADHD girlie, I call this the only planner that doesn’t send my brain into a tailspin. Got my hands on the new, lighter version as soon as it came out and it’s the perfect companion with all the commuting and work travel I have to do. 10/10 recommend!

Our OG Daily Planner combines long-term vision with everyday habits - goal setting, tracking, reflection and deep daily planning - designed to build consistency over time.

On the other hand, our brand new 8-Minute Anti-Procrastination Planner is your reset button, perfect for when you’ve got loads on and no idea where to start. No goals, no trackers, just 5 minutes in the morning and 3 at night to sort your to-dos, feel focused, and actually get through the day.

Our OG Daily Planner is a 3-month hardback planner, whereas The 8-Minute Planner come as a set of 3 x softback planners, designed to last you 1 month each. 80% lighter than our Daily Planner
