Using it every day

This has been really hard to use! Not because the system is flawed or not worth having. I didnt realize how hard wired i am to just run with the punches. I run from one fire to the next and wonder why none of the things i dream of completing ever happen. I am a work in progress and working on starting each day fresh and not holding a weight in my bag. Still working on practicing the habit of ending my day with planning for the next. The system works just keep working at it.

I really like the layout of this planner. Often, planners have either too much or too little in the design. The Finisher layout has just enough and the perfect balance to make sure you keep what is important in front of you and knock it out. I also like the "what worked"/"what didn't work" section to help reflect on things that were accomplished or fell by the wayside. And figuring out a plan of action to improve. Looking forward to using my planner!

These have been a great tool for balancing goals and tasks along with a digital calendar and project manager. I really like the addition of a timeblocking area for when it's needed, and the weekly reviews have been helpful in staying aligned and on task.

I started to see ads for the Finisher's Journal and decided to give it a try. I LOVE paper planners and tend to use those that have a monthly and weekly view. Lots of information at a glance but I haven't been getting things done so it was time to try a different direction- one day at a time, a single list to work from, more focus, fewer distractions. I'm three weeks in and enjoying it so far. I like that the pages are numbered, I LOVE a whole page for notes every day, I like the quotes, and the emphasis on outcome. I also like the space for habit tracking. I wish there was one more ribbon for the habit tracking page and I would like the ribbons to be a bit longer. I'm creating new habits and it's been a positive experience. we'll see where I'm at at the end of the quarter.

Overall I really like the concept and find it helpful. However, it seems like a lot of money and a very fancy product that only lasts 90 days. Not sure I need super thick and heavy paper and binding for something I won't use so long - seems a bit wasteful. I'll probably get a second one, but not likely a third or fourth....

I like to be as productive and efficient as I can be. The Finisher journal helped me to focus on the things that move the needle on my goals rather than the trap I usually fall into of doing a bunch of tasks and wondering why I feel like I’m not getting anywhere.
