I put my weekly review across from the goals I was working on that week. I know that isn't how you're supposed to do it, but it does make it easier for me to concentrate on the goals for the week instead of flipping back and forth. Being lazy for the win!

thank you for your honest, sincere and raw review! I just bought a makselife planner for 2024 and looking forward to using it, so your insights are valuable. thanks for sharing! Best to you in 2024 🎉

I appreciate your transparency

Thank you for the very personal and heartfelt video. I used the undated Makselife (6 months on a coil) for 2022 but I didn’t love 2 books and I don’t like wire o binding so for 2023 I used the companion notebooks with a different planner. Like you I didn’t like them separate from the rest of my planner. I so excited for 2024 flagship on a coil. I got the Messy Bits cover in the vertical layout. I love the time strip washi because I can mark my work by by just a few lines & then use the rest of the lines like an hourly planner. Have a wonderful Holiday Season and a Healthy, Happy & Prosperous New Year!🎉

I feel the same way! I also used Makselife all year for the first time (fell of the wagon for a few weeks here and there). At first I felt like I wasn’t doing it right, or failing in a lot of ways, because I’m always overly optimistic and almost never accomplish what I imagine I’ll be able to do at the beginning of the week. But now after reflecting back on the year, I realized it did work, just not in the way I’d expected. At no point in the year did I ever forget what my goals/intentions were, and when I had to make difficult decisions of what to prioritize (which happened a lot), I feel like I made the right decision every time because I was so clear on what it was that I was trying to do. Even now I feel so much clearer on what I want out of life even as it makes me sad to acknowledge the limitations of time (which was the grief I was dealing with every week, even though that sounds so silly!). It also makes me emotional to think/talk about it. ❤

I’ll be in the flagship planner this year for the same reasons you gave. I used the companion notebooks and it was hard being consistent.

Beautiful review ...appreciate your honesty 😊❤

I love using Makselife planners, too. They help keep me on track with my goal action steps. Reflecting on them weekly allows me to think about what I need to adjust in order to move forward.

Thanks for being so honest and vulnerable in your review of the year. ❤️❤️😀😀 I used the flagship planner in 2022 and loved it. Didn’t use it in 2023 and I noticed a big difference in how I felt about planning. I really missed the weekly and monthly reviews and the quarterly overview as well. For 2024 I got the companion notebooks and I’m excited to get back to having my goals reflect my values and paying attention to all the areas in life. I see this as part of my mental health maintenance (my therapist loves this system). I’ve really enjoyed all your videos so far! Looking forward to more in 2024! Wishing you a wonderful holiday season 😀😀😀❤️❤️❤️

I tried it this year, too, and it's definitely a friend I don't want to let go of! Even when I fell off track with reflections, it was just so easy to jump back on the wagon and get back on task. Last night's call had loads of tidbits! I am excited to hear what resonated with you in the replay!

Will you be sharing how you use the planner ? My journey was similar to yours 🥰

I'm doing the flagship next year. This year I tried the companion notebooks but it didn't work bc it wasn't in my planner
