Cotton Tote - Dream Chaser & Magic Maker

I've tried many (close to a dozen) planners over the years and I love this one so much as an entrepreneur. I love that each quarter I have the opportunity to walk through my business plan and really review my business. Also love the mindfulness/gratitude/habit reminders throughout that are there, but not taking up massive space. I also really appreciate am/pm daily sections withOUT specific times, as my days often start earlier or go later than more planners, so I just get to create each day the way I want. And finally, I love that I get a fresh one each quarter, rather than a tattered or giant one to use all year. Makes it really feel like a "fresh start" each quarter.

I've been looking for a planner that keeps me on task and clears away the clutter. I like listening to the podcast where I have truly realized how much business clutter impedes making progress on big projects. I am still getting used to the planner but I'm loving it so far.

Like most entrepreneurs, coming up with creative ideas for my business has never been an issue, but planning, prioritizing, putting things in the right sequence, and dealing with distractions that derail me along the way are. The Lean Out Planner is the perfect solution. I have tried a dozen digital planners, but I really do need that pen-to-paper experience when it comes to planning. This one really covers all the bases and is so freaking beautiful that it makes planning feel special, not like a chore. Thank you for creating it!

So far, I am loving this planner. Not only does it allow you to work through the planning process, and gives you a structured process to utilize, but it also has focused, actionable worksheets for use throughout the week and months. Loving it so far! As someone new to business and entrepreneurship, this is a great way to get used to the planning and goal setting process for your business, as well as tracking your actions and results. Another amazing product, Crista!

This planner has excellent templates that take out a lot of the guesswork in making a 90 day plan. It also provides explanations, written in plain-English, for how to use each of the sections. The planner comes gift-wrapped, which adds to the feeling that using this planner is an exciting, new gift for my business. Crista also sent my planner through priority shipping (an unexpected surprise!) with a kind, handwritten note! I had a total Sally Fields moment when it arrived, "You like me! You really like me!" Dang, now I really need to step up and commit to using this thing!

Living with OCD, I prefer to bullet journal so I can customize my calendar to fit my various quirks around calendars. This planner is a valuable purchase that a bullet journal-er can use as a guide on how to frame their business plan spreads.
