Why you'll love it: The Passion Planner offers lots of motivational extras that will have you feeling passionate about your to-do list and your life.
The Passion Planner started in late 2013 as a Kickstarter project. Founder Angelia Trinidad was suffering from “feelings of emptiness” after graduating from college. Her answer? Create a tool that would allow herself, and ultimately others, the ability to define their goals and dreams and then break them down into actionable steps.
So what’s inside this 210-page, 8.5-by-11-inch faux leather black book? Start with the Passion RoadMap. It kicks off with an exercise that helps you define and create actions for your goals in three months, one year, three years, and throughout your life. Weekly layouts, as well as annual and monthly overview calendars, keep you organized, while monthly reflection questions and inspirational quotes keep you focused on your progress.
There is also a “Space of Infinite Possibility” where you can take notes, draw, create, write, or brainstorm. Smooth, extra-thick paper makes it fun to write in this planner.
There are more than 150 user reviews on Amazon, and they are all five stars! This level of positivity is almost unprecedented. Headlines to the reviews include: “Finally found the perfect planner” and “I recommend x10,000.”
“I had two friends rave about this planner and they were right! The way you can individualize your goals and make a plan to execute them is incredibly motivating and helpful with the guide and open format. I especially appreciate the end of the month journal questions that help you reflect instead of having no idea what happened because 'time just flies by,'” wrote Isabella Freeman on August 7, 2017.
“It took five years to find this great of a planner. The most perfect planner for this dental school student. If you're busy and need hourly breakdowns and spare room for notes, this is the planner for you,” wrote another verified purchaser in June 2017.
Around the web, professional reviewers and bloggers, including those at Refinery 29, Classy Career Girls, and Intentional Moms, have also named the Passion Planner as one of their top agenda choices.
