I fell in love with the cleaner look and simple design, allowing for easier customization and more space for writing. It&#8217;s been about a month since I received the new planner in the latest design, so I figured it was time to share my thoughts on it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PROS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/2015-erin-condren-life-planner6.png\" alt=\"2015 erin condren life planner6\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The small calendar in the upper left corner of each week has been replaced with a space <em>thankful thought<\/em>. Since I never utilized the calendar, I like this change. I use it for stickers, for our family Bible study verses, and for actual thankful thoughts (ha!).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/2015-erin-condren-life-planner10.png\" alt=\"2015 erin condren life planner10\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <em>morning<\/em>, <em>day<\/em>, and <em>night<\/em> boxes have been replaced with blank boxes. This was my favorite change since I covered my old planners with washi tape to block those out and repurpose the boxes for my needs. Top = daily activity, appointments, events, family night. Middle = blog work. Bottom = house chores and miscellaneous to do lists.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/eclp-review1.png\" alt=\"eclp review1\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The left notes section no longer has a header, which leaves it up to you to purpose the space for your needs. This is great because I&#8217;ve seen this used for several different lists, ideas, and more. I use this for bills that need to be paid that week and for my top three goals\/tasks that need to be completed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>CONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/2015-erin-condren-life-planner4.png\" alt=\"2015 erin condren life planner4\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The front calendar now has a goals addition. While I like the thought, this isn&#8217;t functional for me. Part of setting goals is visualizing them daily, which is why I add my goal sheets in a removable card each month. I visualize these pages being excitedly filled out by people only to be neglected the rest of the year. Instead, I recommend using Project Life cards on a coil clip.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>There are measurably less notes pages this year. For someone like me, who uses the notes pages to add additional sections to her planner, this was a bit of a let down for me.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My love for Erin Condren is unwavering. It&#8217;s by far a superior planner to all I&#8217;ve tried in design, functionality, and size. Each year she releases the latest changes and updates, not all of which I may love, but they&#8217;re always an improvement and increase the performance of the planner. While I may have a couple cons on my list, I hope it doesn&#8217;t deter you from using EC for yourself because I adore this system and cannot recommend it highly enough. Believe me friends, I&#8217;ve tried just about every planner available and none compare to my Life Planner.<\/p>\n<h1>If you&#8217;re interested in trying the Erin Condren Life Planner for yourself, use my referral link for <a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.erincondren.com\/referral\/invite\/hollysosa0918\">$10 off your first purchase<\/a>.<\/h1>\n<div>\n<a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fourhollydays.com%2F2015%2F07%2Ferin-condren-life-planner-coupon%2F\" title=\"\"><i><\/i><\/p>\n<div><span>0<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/a><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fourhollydays.com%2F2015%2F07%2Ferin-condren-life-planner-coupon%2F&amp;text=The%202015-2016%20Erin%20Condren%20Life%20Planner:%20My%20Thoughts\" title=\"\"><i><\/i><\/p>\n<div><span>0<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/a><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fourhollydays.com%2F2015%2F07%2Ferin-condren-life-planner-coupon%2F\" title=\"\"><i><\/i><\/p>\n<div><span>0<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/a><a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/link\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fourhollydays.com%2F2015%2F07%2Ferin-condren-life-planner-coupon%2F\" title=\"\"><i><\/i><\/p>\n<div><span>0<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/2015\/07\/erin-condren-life-planner-coupon\/\">The 2015-2016 Erin Condren Life Planner: My Thoughts<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/\">Our Holly Days<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source:: <a href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/2015\/07\/erin-condren-life-planner-coupon\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"The 2015-2016 Erin Condren Life Planner: My Thoughts\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Holly Sosa I had full intentions of not buying the new Erin Condren Life Planner until the end of the year, but the new release got the best of me and I just had to have the newest one.
