Welcome to The Success Choice Planner {Focused}

The Woman’s Success Planner (now The Success Choice Planner) has continued to improve over the years through research, field trials, and customer input. For 2017, we have rolled together several improvements we think you will love.  If you responded to last year’s survey, thank you.  While we can’t make every change suggested (one person may suggest one change, while five others say that is what they love most), we do listen and improve the planner based on feedback and research.  We kept all the things you said you love and that make the planner awesome, and then we made it even better.  Please read the inside front and back covers of your planner for more detailed instructions.

1-  The first thing you may notice is that the planner has white paper and color inside. Changing the paper was a very hard decision.  Through the years, we have had many, many people comment on how much they love the feel and quality of the paper, so we have been hesitant to change it -- even though we have had a lot of requests for white paper.  However, we searched and tested paper and found one that is acid free, archive quality, has the same toothy finish so your ink doesn’t smear, and the same high quality weight so that most inks won’t bleed through, and the color looks great on white! 

2-  The calendars are white cardstock with the same toothy feel and archive quality and a colored strip on the edges to make them easy to locate.  We love how it turned out; it looks so cheerful. Also on the monthly calendar, we added “Challenge Notes,” instead of “Blooming Ideas.”  We have tried to include some of the “Blooming Ideas” in the “Traditions” area.  The “Challenge Notes” column provides space to track your progress on your “Success Choice Challenge” goals (See “Create a Success Plan” on your inside cover).

3-  The weekly layout is much cleaner and less cluttered.  We took out all the extra check boxes and made the lines lighter and the font thinner.  To add more flexibility with your schedule, you can either use the top half of the column for your appointments (making the AM the beginning and the PM the end of your day), and the bottom half of the day’s column for your tasks; or if your day is full of appointments, you can have the AM mark the beginning of the day, and the PM mark noon and use the bottom half of the column for your afternoon/evening schedule. You can put your tasks right into your schedule.  Plus, if your hand writing is small you can still use 2 columns in the day.  Here are just 3 examples of how you could use this flexible area to stay organized:

4-  We changed the daily routines to be blank so you can customize them with your own routines if you would like.  If you want to continue to use the same suggested routines as before, you will find them on the inside back cover under “Daily Routines.”
