Not quite ideal for me
I was inspired to get a Day Designer after finding one at a random store a couple of years ago. What changed my life - not an exaggeration - were the goal setting pages in the front. They followed a logical progression and the "big picture" one was especially helpful. The goal setting pages in the one I ordered this year are not as helpful. For example, they require every goal to have milestones, but many goal types don't lend themselves to that. Some of the goal setting pages are just not useful, e.g. "ideal month" is broken out by day??? Also, the 46 "today and to-do" pages are extraneous. Are you only expected to have 46 days in the year that require detailed planning? Just replace them with more goal setting pages in the front, take them out altogether, or make this a super complete planner with both a weekly overview and daily pages. I would totally buy that planner.

Thank you for your feedback! We always appreciate the opportunity to make sure our customers are fully educated on our products. The particular item you previously purchased at your local retail store to is part of the Day Designer x Blue Sky Collaboration, which is provided by Blue Sky. Day Designer, the original Flagship Edition Daily and Weekly Planner, partnered with Blue Sky in the design process for the Day Designer for Blue Sky collection, for the covers and pages to reflect the look and concepts behind the Day Designer brand. The layouts of our Flagship planners are simply the original planner, and a different product line from those sold at retail stores.
The Today & To-Do pages provided in our Flagship Weekly planners are conveniently placed in the back of your planner to utilize on your busiest days. If you're planning needs require daily planning, the Flagship Daily planners may be a better fit as they come with a daily page for the entire agenda year. We provide a helpful grid to show what comes inside the Flagship collection. You may view that here.
