If you know me, you know I love planning. I never go anywhere without my planner, pens and washi tape. I even recently professed my love for planning publicly. So when my Bloom Vision Planner came in the mail a week ago, I couldn't wait to start using it, even though its calendar is for 2016.

One of my favorite parts about this planner is that it has so many spots that focus on goal setting. Goals don't work if you don't think about them regularly, so having them with me at all times is a great way to make sure they actually happen. I didn't want to jump the gun in case my goals change before next year, so I've left these pages blank.

This and last week are/were Homecoming at Georgia Tech, and I decided to use the Bloom planner to keep track of all of the events. December of 2016 has the same weekly structure as October of this year, so those are the pages I used.

I love the water tracking function (because I need to work on drinking more water), and the weekly quotes. I also like the color scheme, but wish it was mixed up more throughout the planner. (That's mostly because I love all of my pens so much and want to give them all chances to shine.)

The vertical layout is great for making daily to-do lists, and having a designated meal planning and exercise spot might even encourage me to work out more (yeah, right).

I think my least favorite thing about the Bloom Vision Planner is the binding: when you first open it, the pages aren't easy to turn. Other than that, it's a visually beautiful planner with spaces dedicated to every section of your life that you might need.

I'd recommend this planner to anyone working towards some concrete goals, applying to graduate school, losing weight, saving money -- actually, everyone should be working towards something. If you need a place to keep track of your daily life and want to integrate your goals into it, this planner might be for you.
