So I have a good amount of experience with the Erin Condren LifePlanner, because I’ve used it since 2011. As you may be guessing, I’ve used quite a few ECLPs over the years. Lol! And there are certain things that make me keep coming back again and again.

Let’s discuss this more, shall we?

7 Reasons I Love the Erin Condren LifePlanner

#1) Weekly and Monthly Layouts

Back in middle and high school, I used a planner with weekly and monthly layouts. And I LOVED them. After college, I tried using smaller (pocket) planners with only monthly layouts. That style wasn’t for me. Besides that planner being too small, it didn’t function the way I wanted it to.

Basically, I love using the monthly layout for higher level planning and the weekly layout for everyday planning. Def planning to detail this out more.

#2) Speaking of Layouts

There are also multiple types of weekly layouts now – vertical, horizontal, and hourly layouts.

Additionally, there are other planner types altogether: teacher planners, goal setting planners, and more! Check out the EC site to view all the options. There are so many now!

#3) Ample Writing Space

I swear I’ve had more writing space in my LifePlanner than I have had in planners that were physically bigger. Not sure how it works, but I feel like I can write in everything I really need. And this is great.

Rarely do I find myself thinking – geez, I wish I had more space here to write.

Instead, for most layouts, I have plenty of white space. And this is nice if you are the type of planner who likes to go back and add a bit of journaling / memory keeping in your weekly or monthly layouts.

#4 Thoughtful Design

Shout out to the Erin Condren team for listening to community feedback and incorporating as much as you can with every release.

One small example is how the tabs (on the monthly sections) were thick paper that still bent out of shape. The EC team ended up laminating these tabs, and now they’re perfect for a whole year! (Maybe longer, but I guess I don’t use it after a year though, haha).

#5 Customizable and Interchangeable Covers

The covers are super customizable. For many designs, you can change the entire colorway. Want pink cactuses instead of green ones? No problem!

On almost all, you can add your name or initials. Or something else!

And they even have covers that you can add your own photos to so you can look at whatever you want all day while you’re planning.

Like Bailey, my corgi. His photos would make a fantastic planner cover. Just sayin.

#6 Quality Paper

The paper in the Erin Condren LifePlanner is also a very nice quality. It’s thick without being bulky, and this is good because:

  • I rarely have issues with ink bleeding through (it usually only happens if I go back and forth on my writing a lot)
  • And the paper rarely rips

It’s good to be able to fully use your planner without worrying about damaging it.

#7 Erin Condren Community
