Simplified Planner and Day Designer Comparison!

Hello Friend!

     As promised, here are quite a few comparison pictures of my Emily Ley Simplified Planner (SP) and Whitney English Day Designer (DD).  A lengthy video will be on my YouTube channel soon.  Enjoy!

The gorgeous covers.  Both are sturdy and thick. I don't feel like I need to baby them, although the DD instructions say to handle it with care to prevent deep scratches and excessive wear. 

The spirals are comparable.  They are almost the same tan/bronze color.  The DD has more pages due to the worksheets in the front of the planner as well as the thick monthly page tabs reserved for notes.

The corners are reinforced with gold colored plates.  The SP's plates are larger while the DD's plates come wrapped in plastic.

The SP's monthly tabs are different colors while the DD's tabs are gold.
Both are laminated.

A closer look at their spirals.

     Overall, I see myself using both planners in their entirety.   The SP will be my family's daily planner, and the DD will be for my blog and aspiring entrepreneurial goals.  The only disappointment I have in both of them is the fact that both clump the traditional weekend onto one page.  I hope they will consider separating Saturday and Sunday in future editions, at the very least for the DD.

     That is all for now!  If you have any questions, I would love to answer them!

Until next write,

Teresa
