At The Art of Planning, we feel that planning should serve as a reflection of your values. That's why our 12-Month Planner and Appointment Book has been carefully designed to be one of the few planning-first planners available. That sounds redundant, but most "planners" on the market today include a glut of guided prompts that veer into the self-help, creative writing, and "productivity system" realms. These are all worthwhile pursuits, but we feel that a planner designed for maximum planning effectiveness necessarily can't block off too much real estate for additional focii, even if those focii are beneficial. Just as you wouldn't try to meditate while working out and reading, a focused and rewarding planning experience is one where planning takes center stage.
