Thank you Sarah:) Hearing that feedback is so helpful! It's hard to decide how much personal to share...and I almost cut some of that out in a long video like this. Have a good day!
I hear from a lot of people that really love the Makselife goal system...they have a lot of support in their FB group. And when staying accountable to it have a made progress on their goals/habits. But I understand a goal planner is not for everyone...or maybe not every season of your life. I have for the most part just done my own method of mapping out what I want to work on in a years time and been successful too:) I have talked about that in my Personal Planning update videos here (they have their own playlist). I also made a 2022 Goal Planning video here in which I show my system. I have used Makselife and Powersheets myself in the past too. I think different seasons and different personalities all have their own needs. It's really what serves you best, and what you enjoy in the season you are in. I do love the reflection part of this planner...it's something I definitely don't do weekly on my own- but I could in my journal. Just the prompts make me do it in a system.
Amanda, your "here are some other ways to use this planner" has really helped me. I've been struggling to figure out whether to get the planner or just the notebooks because I use my household planner as a look ahead, more than a working document (like referenced every day). The idea that I could use it as a daily "how did I do on my goals" journal is an excellent one. I think I might actually use it that way! Oooh! Or because an A5 would sit on my bedside table, maybe pair the notebooks with a dot-grid notebook that I can use to do a quick daily journal. Decisions, decisions... (If I keep with it, maybe I'll reward myself with the folio. It is gorgeous.) Thanks for all that you do. Your thoroughness and lack of sales-iness really make your videos perfect for helping make decisions. THANK YOU!
Hey Anne;) First of all thanks for taking time to leave all your thoughts, and for your kind compliments. I love both your ideas...lots of options. I think it just comes down to which one you would enjoy using more since both of your ideas would work well:)
Beautiful review as always. That one with the sun is stunning and would've been my choice if I would've gone with Makse Life. I am putting that gorgeous folio on my list of favorites and wishes for some point in time next year.
Thank you Susanne:) I love the sunrise one too:) Sunrises and sunsets are just magic to me:) The folio is so functional and I love the teal color of mine;)
So happy to be on the review crew with you this year. I was super excited to see your walk through of everything. I'm not a purple girl, but you sure are making that Blackberry cover look lovely.
Thank you Sami:) I will pop over and see what you have in your video later today for sure;) I have been very attracted to purple hues in the last year!
I’ll be using your links to grab the companion notebooks since I love my A5 moterm set up I do wish the companions came in a printable since my corners aren’t rounded in my everyday planner
Hey Cassie:) Thanks for watching and for using my links:) That is a good point about the corners not matching you planner corners. I think they offer unpunched in the a5- but printable would be a nice option too for your needs. I know they have it in digital, but I don't think it is offered in a printable PDF. I would go on their site when launch day goes up...or email them just to check.
Thank you for all of the time you spent on this video! I am really excited about all of the new products. I love the bookmark and the folio with the intentions and refections, and plan on picking those up. And for my planner I'll be getting the Vertical Flagship with the Blackberry Fields cover. I can't wait to see it all in person and start using them!
Do you know if this folio will fit inside and Erin Condren folio cover? I've got a Wonder Woman cover and would love to use it with the Makse Life folio books if they will fit.
I have been waffling back and forth between planners. I really think the Flagship one will be the one for me this year. Thank you so much for these reviews!
Very specific question from me! I prefer the Simplified covers, so I'm curious whether the Simplified Daily cover would fit on a Makselife? Or are the sizes wrong/coils don't line up?
Good question! They won't fit:( Same number of rings, but simplified cover is about 3/4 of an inch less in width...same height. Sorry that won't work:(
Once again you are such a great promoter for these planners! You cover everything and make it all seem necessary!!! Now comes the hard part of narrowing down to need v want.
I am glad the video was helpful:) I never want to make it seem like you need everything! But I know it all looks so good. They just keep getting better every year;) Good luck with the decisions!
Thank you for this lovely review. I usually use the companion notebooks but this year I order the Flagship weekly planner. I ordered the floral with berries. Do you think you will be using Makse Life next year?
I love the Flagship. I am very tempted to use it because it's such a beautiful and functional product. But I am not sure it will fit in my line up. Stay tuned and I will share my 2023 stack video here in December. And I plan on sharing more of my personal planning here on youtube in 2023:)
Just placed an order using your link! Hope I did it correctly. I’m really looking forward to using this with my EC daily petite thank you so very much for showing the EC petite can fit in the system 😍
I wish I had bought this instead of PowerSheets. I’ve been a PowerSheets user for years but think this has more of what of what I really need. Next year!
thank you for showing all of this. I like the companion notebooks but they should offer that as inserts as well (nice touch that the pages are perforated though). They are very expensive but would fit in nicely with my a5 ring system. I will use your link if I decide to get them :)
@@AmandasFavorites I did. They actually have a very slim insert selection. All they have as inserts is a daily layout for 1 quarter. The weekly layout is 7x9. They should really beef up the insert selection but I do think I will be using the system some way in 2023
Thanks for the great overview. I shopped and got more than I needed 😜. Wondering if you, or anyone else, have used the flagship and undated quarterly together? Thanks
Oh, gotcha! Sorry...I should have understood that the first time;) I have heard people who use them together. I would check out the Makselife FB group and ask there...you will find some people who do for sure;) Enjoy those when they arrive and in in 2023!

What a great review. No one does reviews like Amanda thank u!!! I have been looking at these so helpful!
Awwwww, thank you:) You just made me smile so big!
Thanks for showing the EC petite planners in the folio. I figured it fit but was nice to see. ☺️
Oh, good:) I am glad that was helpful:)
I LOVED watching!! ♥️♥️ There is a lot to think about.🙌
Oh, Tara...I can't believe you had time to watch!
Great video, thanks for your hard work! 😊
You are so welcome;) Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your thorough review!! You showed the products so well and I love when you sprinkle personal encouragement into your videos 😌

100% agree!
Out of curiosity, do people actually find the goal planner part of planners useful?

The ML a5 notebooks will fit in the Erin condren petite planner folio covers. But the cover itself won't fit in another folio... does that make sense?
@@AmandasFavorites Makes perfect sense! Thank you. Still deciding if I'm going full planner or just the folios lol
Such a great video, thank you Amanda!
Thank you Hilary:)
Great comprehensive video! The new folio system is a nice addition.
Thanks Judy;) I agree...the folio was so smart to go with their companion notebooks:)
I have been waffling back and forth between planners. I really think the Flagship one will be the one for me this year. Thank you so much for these reviews!

Have you tried putting the Makselife books fit into Planner Perfect travelers notebooks (the holder)? This folio looks similar just not leather.
Yes, it works perfectly! They fit in the A5 Planner Perfect leather cover I have;)
@@AmandasFavorites awesome! Thank you!
The moment I’ve been waiting for !!🎉
Oh, yay! Enjoy watching:)
Have you ever reviewed the Curator planners?
I haven't!
Thanks for the great overview. I shopped and got more than I needed 😜. Wondering if you, or anyone else, have used the flagship and undated quarterly together? Thanks
Hey Kim:) Are you talking about the undated quarterly companion notebooks?
Hi Amanda - i was referring to the quarterly daily. I bought the flagship and one of the quarterly daily books. It’s my first time using the system
Oh, gotcha! Sorry...I should have understood that the first time;) I have heard people who use them together. I would check out the Makselife FB group and ask there...you will find some people who do for sure;) Enjoy those when they arrive and in in 2023!
