This is not a sponsored post. I purchased this planner to use and review and the giveaway is self-funded. All opinions expressed are my own.
Earlier this year, I wrote about my BASICS notebook and how I intended to use it to organise for 2016. While I love the notebook’s features, several things just didn’t work for me and I began to look for other options. I still intend to use the BASICS planner for work-related planning, so I was on the hunt for a more personal planner. Which is when I found Personal-Planner (thank you Google!)
Personal-Planner allow you to personalise nearly every aspect of your planner, from the cover, to the colour of the tie bind, to the layout, the content, the starting month, and lots of other things in between. There are a variety of sizes to choose from – the mini, square, wide and A5. I went with the A5 as that is the size I like to use and the size that fits most of my bags.
The customisation tool is by far the simplest I’ve seen. I compared it with other personalised planner websites and it really is far superior to other options. 
When you login, you are asked to choose the size of your planner, followed by a cover design and the options are endless. You could use a photograph, a collage of photographs, just text, plain colour, one of their patterns or designs or upload your own design. I found one on Etsy that I absolutely loved so I purchased it and used it as a cover design. I could then crop and move it to fit the way I wanted it to. You also have the option of choosing a back cover and I cropped part of the design from the front cover and added it to the bottom, which I thought was a nice touch. I didn’t want to replicate the same design on the back – I thought that would be overkill.
There are options to choose the colour of your elastic closure and the month you’d like your planner to start from. I picked a colour to complement the design on the front and opted for August as my start month. You can also enter custom text for the front cover which I didn’t do as I don’t particularly like the font option they have.
Moving on to the inlay, you have four options for your weekly layout and I picked the horizontal version that has Saturday and Sunday side by side – very similar to the Moleskine layout which I really enjoy using. You can also choose to have ruled or striped pages – I opted for ruled as wonky handwriting drives me crazy, and you can also choose the colour of your detachable ruler. I opted for the transparent option.
There is also a daily details section where you can choose to have weather (I must admit I’m a little stumped as to why you’d want this on a planner!), work, and workout details. I chose work – to help me keep track of my work hours and workout details to help keep me accountable! It’s at this point that you also have the option to enter personal dates – my absolute favourite thing about this planner. It takes a little while to enter all the dates, depending on how many details you want to add, but I chose to input birthdays, anniversaries, bank holidays, Eids and Ramadan dates along with little icons. I love that I can just add to this calendar and order a reprint next year and it’s all saved without me having to re-enter everything again! The top bar is also customisable and they have several design theme options. If you’re indecisive, you may want to dedicate an afternoon to this!
The modules are another feature I really enjoy – these are printed along the bottom of the page and there are various options: preschool, dinners, exams, to do, graphs, list, ideas etc. I chose dinners because it’s excellent for meal planning and great to keep a record of what we’ve been eating week after week. I also chose a To Do module and a List of the Week module. There is a little monthly calendar that comes as standard and a little empty box for notes.
The back pages have a multitude of options – overview of the year, Sudoku, colouring pages, ruled pages, maps – you can even choose how many pages you want, and there are handy teacher pages that teachers would find really useful. I opted for an overview of the year which includes the whole of 2017 so if I wanted to do any forward planning past August 2017, this would be handy. On reflection, I wish I had included a few colouring pages – but there’s always next year insha’Allah!
The rest of the pages are all ruled and I’ve labelled these with the stickers that came with the planner to use for:
– Eid prep & gift lists
– Ramadan prep & gifts
– Measurements (I like to have the kids’ measurements, our measurements, room dimensions, etc. on hand when I’m out and about so if I see something we might like I’m making an informed purchasing decision)
– Dinner ideas (this will have a list of absolutely everything we’ve ever made and recipes I want to try so when I’m meal planning, it’s an easy reference)
– Gift ideas (I find this really useful as I will sometimes come across something for someone that I think is perfect and now I can just make a quick note of it until I’m able to purchase it)
– Reading wishlist (I keep coming across recommendations for various books and can never remember the titles when I want to make a purchase so this will be helpful!)
The last customisation screen is the owner info page where they recommend you put in your contact information in the event that you leave the planner somewhere. I chose to have the translation of a Quranic verse that I would like to see on a daily basis and my name, email and phone number. I preferred not to print my home address in it.
And you’re done! You then get a little order summary page where they confirm you will receive your planner, an elastic enclosure, a ruler, a plastic sleeve and full page of stickers all within the price of your planner.
I’ve had the chance to use mine and I really enjoy using something that feels quite personal to me with features that I will actually make use of and benefit from. I like it so much that I think one of you should have it too! I’m giving away a gift card for a planner (any size) between now and the end of August – You’ll find entry details and terms and conditions below.
If you’d prefer not to enter or just want to place your order asap – Personal-Planner is offering 15% off all orders between now and 21 August as part of their Back to School drive. The code is P-LANN-ER16.

August 9, 2016 at 6:46 pmI’ve been looking at this company’s planners for a while now! I have ADHD & am juggling a job at a school with being a college student myself, and a solid planner system helps me keep my head on straight. They’re such great tools, I wish all of them were this high quality, customizable, and affordable!

August 14, 2016 at 11:00 amFirst of all before I entered this givaway I just read more of your posts and I have to say I am in awe.
I love the site so much & I’ve wanted planner from them since 2014 and I decided I’ll purchase one for my first academic year in University (Sept 2016 – Nov 2016) to help me record my thoughts feelings and have a vision inspiration for my future.
Sadly I didn’t have enough money to purchase one.
I would like the A5 size. 🙂

Monica Gilbert
August 14, 2016 at 10:27 pmWith a family of 3, a planner is essential. I feel really disconcerted if I don’t have one available. I would want my planner to have space to record special dates, contact details, to do lists, and meal planners (to motivate me to start). Space for notes and doodles would be great, too.

Kate Milton
August 15, 2016 at 3:14 pmI’m getting married next year and a planner would help me because I’m sure I will have “head in the shed” syndrome and will struggle to concentrate on everything! Any kind of planner would be better than none ha ha!

Caroline H
August 16, 2016 at 10:13 amI am a manic list and note maker and have different notebooks, diaries, post-its on the noticeboard for everything. It’s a little hard to keep track of but I’ve not found a planner that really suits my needs. I think the fact I can order what I want here would be a bit of a life changer!
Gina
August 16, 2016 at 12:10 pmI love how customizable this planner is!! It would be great for the school year, especially with two kids in different schools this year! Thanks for the chance!
KellyPC
August 16, 2016 at 12:25 pmI’ve been using Personal-Planner planners for three years now, I honestly could not manage without them!
Lynette Cowdin
August 16, 2016 at 1:44 pmI think this would be a wonderful way to make a personalized planner for myself or my high schooler. I have been having a hard time finding one that provides the right space he needs.
Michelle J.
August 16, 2016 at 2:00 pmMy planner is my brain, and I’d love a horizontal one!
Sarah Taylor-Fergusson
August 16, 2016 at 4:41 pmI love being organised and – right now – have vowed to help my not very organised fiance with his planning. He has a long way to go as it was recently a revelation for him to be shown how to write a basic daily To Do List and work through it (he had never done this before)! So my planner would be split into sections and the Post-Its would be really useful for writing “Remind Darius to…” on lots of them LOL! Oh, and I too favour the A5 format, and my favourite cover picture shown could be either the Great Things Take Time slogan or the black and white Stag Beetle image, which is very different.
julie kenny
August 16, 2016 at 5:10 pmI would love a week to view planner – it would really help me get organized …I have lists everywhere x

August 23, 2016 at 8:30 pmI love a good planner! Mainly to make sure I don’t forget one of the many appointments for what feels like millions of people (really just 5!) and a decent one looks really pretty too!
Liane Ca

August 28, 2016 at 9:05 amI’d really like this discount because this planner is fairly expensive. Although I’ll probably buy it even if I don’t win it :).

August 28, 2016 at 3:45 pmI am a lists person and post it note user, having my own personal planner, not just for myself, but all my family would be very useful. I think I would choose the A5 planner.

August 29, 2016 at 1:41 pm🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 :O UMMMMM WOW!!!! I have this crazy obsession with planners- they rule my life! No seriously, I can’t function or get ahead if it isn’t planned or written down. I also love to watch Plan With ME videos on YouTube (check it out!). You can get loads of different stickers etc. from Etsy for so many different things- Halloween, Valentines themes – the lot 🙂
Miss Tracy Hanson
August 29, 2016 at 4:17 pmI need a planner for work. We have to do everything by hand (not on the computer) and have to keep checking the diary to see what slots we have left for collections and deliveries. As we only have ONE diary for ALL collections and deliveries it’s hard when someone is doing one and you need to check whether there’s a slot left or if there’s enough room for a large collection/delivery, meaning some customers can get a bit “stroppy” if they have to wait a couple of minutes until the diary is free.

August 29, 2016 at 4:20 pmI would like to give to my daughter who is about to start at College on a two year course and she would like a planner to timetable all of her courses, extra curricular activities and hobbies into.

Megan Clark
August 29, 2016 at 8:45 pmI love organisation and everything is so much easier when things are planned – meals, appointments, important dates etc (especially helpful when i have multiple hospital appointments per month). The Mini one looks so cute and small enough to fit in a bag too, perfect! I really like how its so customisable – so much better than a filofax or basic date planner you’d get in a shop (which are pretty boring!)

September 18, 2017 at 8:37 pmIman, I have just come across your website and am loving all the posts. I thought I read somewhere that you bullet journal? I know this planner is a post from 2016, so if you are bullet journaling now – which do you prefer?
Any tips on bullet journaling?
This planner sounds perfect but I’m torn between buying this and attempting to bullet journal for the flexibility that it offers. This planner seems to take the hard work out of what bullet journaling would entail.
