I am reviewing the Gallery Leather Co. Professional Planner today simply because I want the opportunity to point out the fabulous features of this calendar. I admit, I take them for granted now. One glance at a different planner reminds me why I choose the Gallery Leather Co. planner year after year. The fact that they are pretty on my shelf is only one reason.
Fabulous Features of the Leather Professional Planner by Gallery Leather Co.
Aesthetically, it is a beautiful calendar with it's leather cover and gold gilded page edges. Plus, as the name suggests, it has a very professional appearance. The year is embossed on the front cover, but is not colored or filled with anything. I love that professional simplistic design. I am never embarrassed to pull this calendar out in front of anyone when setting appointments or making notes.
Speaking of notes, there is a special note section in this planner. I use that section to write down ideas for articles, or things I need to do that don't have a deadline.
The first page displays a quick reference showing a calendar of all of the months and dates in the standard square box display (shown on the right). That helps when I just need to pull the dates quickly for every Friday in a particular month. Or to quickly count the number of Fridays in a particular month.
A quick glance page for the previous year and the next year immediately follow the current year calendar.
Following those pages is a larger breakdown of the months for quick notes. Each month has a page with boxes, one for each date, and area to make quick notes.
However, the section of the planner that I most rely on, the one that I refer to multiple times everyday is the daily calendar that displays each day of the week with appointment times. This is where I organize my work day. Without it, I would be lost. The satin bookmark could be used anywhere to mark your place in the book, but I use it to mark the current week so I can quickly flip the planner open to it.
My fellow contributors already know a great deal about my busy schedule. They see me at work daily. But, I am here to tell you, without my trusty planner calendar, I would be lost. It keeps me focused on what I need to accomplish each day and what should get my attention first each morning.
I know I am not alone. Many people scurry from one activity to the next trying to stay ahead and on their fast paced schedules. I can tell you from experience, this planner calendar really makes a huge difference!

Daily journals are a must have for me! These are beautiful. When you are looking after elderly family, doctors appointments and other appointments need to be coordinated. This is a beautiful journal and covers all my needs. Thanks for this review.
ReplyDeleteI, too, would be lost without a planner. I use a monthly calendar book for my online work because I like seeing the whole month at once for planning ahead, but have to make notes in addition for daily To Do lists, etc. I like the fact that this Professional Planner Calendar by Gallery has BOTH monthly and daily. I can see that would be a big time-saver. Thanks so much for telling me about it, Mouse.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered how you managed to get so much done. You have got to be one of the busiest people I know. This is the sort of planner I used to buy when I was able to plan. Now it's hard to make many plans at all, since I have to live one day or less at a time. I've found I just don't have enough appointments these days to need more than a simple wall calendar. I do think this is an excellent planner -- simple, but with all one really needs.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what would work for me. I store notes on my computer as I work, however being a little old school I still like paper and pen and creating a plan that's separated from the computer. There's something creative about writing things down, lol!
