2019/20 Planner Comparisons

Our 2019/20 midyear Planners are here and we are so excited to introduce them to you! Get ready to crush your goals with our Hustle and Fancy Pants Planners. If you are wondering which planner is right for you, this post will walk you through the details of each, and help you decide which one will become your new Best Friend! Honestly, though, planners are such a personal preference and you might not know what works best for you until you try it. Here are some of the major differences that will help you narrow down your planner choice! 

       

All of our planners incorporate goals, projects, finances, health, and scheduling into one. We believe that all areas of your life must work together in order to create a more balanced lifestyle. So now you just need to decide which format will best help you achieve this balance!

      

Decision #1: Daily planner or Weekly planner?

If you are unsure which layout is right for you, take our “Which Planner Is Right For You” Quiz and choose option C to get a sample download of our Daily and Weekly layouts. 

 

    

If Daily, which one?

If you know you prefer a Daily layout, then you have the option of Hustle Daily Spiral, or Fancy Pants Daily. Let’s take a look at some of the major differences between these 2 planners.

 

 

     

Many people prefer a spiral planner because you can fold the planner in half and only see one page at a time. Hustle Daily has the full year of planning pages jam-packed into one planner, but this is due to the fact that Saturday and Sunday share a page, so there are fewer pages altogether.

The spiral also gives you the option to add any of our downloads to your planner using our new Add-A-Page for spiral. Check out this video for more information on how to add pages to your Hustle Daily spiral planner.

  

Spiral planners require a little extra care when on the go as to not bend the spiral, but if you know for sure that spiral planners are your jam, then we have a new Hustle Daily B.F.F. Carryall to protect your best friend while you are on the go. The carryall is also great for Hustle Daily Casebound as well.

   

So, now to compare Hustle Daily and Fancy Pants Daily……

   

Both Hustle Daily and Fancy Pants have the same size pages, 5.5" x 8.5". Hustle Daily weekends share a page, but Fancy Pants weekends each have their own page. So if you are super busy on the weekends, then Fancy Pants might be a better fit for you.

If you are someone who prefers a planner with customization, the ability to add and remove pages as needed, then Fancy Pants is the way to go. It offers custom inserts for Realtors, Direct Sales Consultants, Photographers, Teachers, and Students. And then we haveinserts for Extra Notes, Contacts, and a Weekly Add-in insert which is great for those who prefer a daily format but also want to keep a weekly rolling to-do list and move it from day to day.

Fancy Pants was designed with portability in mind, so although the planner comes with a full year of content, the binder holds up to 4 months of daily pages at one time, but ALL of the tabs and ALL 12 monthly overviews so you can still plan your year in advance. 

Now, what if you know you prefer a binder planner and already have a binder that you love, but are looking for a new planner? We’ve got you covered! You can purchase our A5 Fancy Pants Inserts.

 

So let’s recap, shall we……

Hustle Daily Spiral- full year of content in one planner, weekends share a page, planner can fold in half to only see one day at a time, and takes up less space on your desk.

Fancy Pants Daily  - full year of content included but binder holds up to 4 months of daily pages at one time (but all 12 monthly overviews), weekends have their own page, customizable, additional inserts available, portable and fits nicely in your purse.

If You Like Weekly…

If you prefer a Weekly layout, then you have the option of Hustle Weekly. 

 

 

Our Weekly planners are great for those who prefer to see their full week at a time and don’t need as much space for daily checklists. 

 

Because Hustle Weekly has a larger format, it’s time slots go from 5:30am - 9:00pm and have twice the space for daily to-do’s. This planner is a MONDAY start with full time slots for Saturday and Sunday. Hustle Weekly also has the full year of planning pages all bound together.

 

Here is a chart for easy comparisons of each planner’s features:

We know you have your planner, but there are things that you want front and center for your family to see as well…so we created the weekly “Control -Center” A convenient dry erase magnet divided into days of the week and notes so you can make your loved ones aware of the highlights of the week!  Great for weekly menus, appointments, reminders, chores, to-do items… the list goes on and on!

Pen Pal is a beautiful gold that is meant to be placed on the backside of your planner to hold that perfect pen.

10 tips for using your planner to organize your finances

Every STARTplanner has pages for planning your annual budget and savings under the goals tab, we know that things change in a year, but having a vision of where you want to be headed can make a big difference when you are working towards a goal like vacation, retirement or a new home!

Once you have your year overview, we break it down into months, so you can record all your expenses and know what your monthly cash flow will be so that you can be sure that it is aligning with your annual goals!

Each day has a space to record daily costs of eating out to keep you aware of all those “littles” costs that add up so fast! (it can add up SO fast and really derail your goals of savings quickly, unless you budget for it appropriately!) 

Buying a car? Saving for college? Under the goals tab, we also have pages where you can write your specific goals, plan out action steps that will get you there and set accountability partners.

Once you know what your bigger goals are, you can take those action steps and translate them to the mini-goals at the beginning of each month to help keep you mindful of what you are working towards. 

We ALWAYS encourage you (and there is space to write it down!) to pick an accountability partner! This is someone who encourages you to stay on track with your goals, helps you find your way if you have lost motivation and someone to answer to if you feel like giving up! This person should be someone who isn’t afraid to push you when the going gets tough!

Write down in your planner what days you will sit down and pay your bills…and then DO IT! It is so easy in the hustle and bustle to forget a due date but if you sit down once or twice a month and pay for all bills in the next cycle all at once, it makes it much easier to be assured it has all been taken care of! (and late fees are such a waste! We would much rather earmark that money for something fun, wouldn’t you?!)

By managing your time better on our daily and weekly schedules, keeping on a schedule and blocking your like-items together for efficiency, you could open up pockets of time for a side hustle! 

We have all been guilty of it… ok, ok, at least I know I have… going to the store for one thing and leaving with a $250 receipt (I swear, the chips on the endcap were BEGGING to come home with me!)  But by using the meal planning /grocery list (available in Fancy Pants and Hustle Daily) and then STICKING TO the items on the list (Yes, we know it is easier said than done, but you can do it!) you can save yourself from those extra grocery impulse purchases as well as  buying food that you really don’t need or already have!

What?! Money Trees don’t exist? 😜 yes…. sadly we know, BUT you can still use the daily to-dos and notes section to keep track of those things that you need to do to keep your goals moving forward and to write yourself little motivational messages to “keep going!”… by using all the tips here in you STARTplanner, you could even save enough money that you FEEL like you found a money tree!

5 Ways to Give Back, Without Spending a Dime!!!

 

There are a few things that set our planners apart from others, our Charity section is one of them. We believe in paying it forward, and giving back to your community! There are so many ways to give back that don’t even cost you a dime! Check out below some ways to back.

 

Here is a list we love of 5 ways to give back, without spending a dime!!! 

1. Donate your TIME!!! Find an organization, shelter, etc to donate a couple hours on the weekend! If you have a special skill; such as writing cooking, photography, just talking to people, etc. Consider offering your services!! Many charities, non-profits and advocacy groups need people like YOU but can’t afford a dedicated staff. You never know who’s life you are going to make a difference in. 

2. Give blood. Donating blood to organizations like the Red Cross is free, doesn’t take much and could save someone’s life! Free, quick, and available to you any day of the week.

3. Organize a drive. If you have the time and enthusiasm, considered organizing or getting involved in a dive to gather donations for an organization. For example: food drive at work, or in neighborhood, collect gently used clothes, etc. 

4. Volunteer at an organizations event (like a walk or run!) Organizations are always looking for volunteers to help at booths, handing out water, cheering people on, all kinds of things! Some examples include; Breast Cancer Walk, Alzheimer walk, and SO many more! Look up some near you and get involved. 

5. Be kind. Be kind to people you encounter on a daily basis. Family, friends, coworkers, and even people in line with you at the grocery store. Carry out someone’s groceries for them, send someone you know going through a hard time a “I’m thinking about you" text or card. Show people you care and that you are thinking of them.

Can you imagine the kind of world we would live in if people? We would be unstoppable. Be that person. Be the change, and you will inspire someone to do the same for someone else. 

What are some other ways YOU give back/use your Charity section in your STARTplanner?? Let us know!!
