Our 2018/19 midyear Planners are here and we are so excited to introduce them to you! Get ready to crush your goals with our Hustle and Fancy Pants Planners. If you are wondering which planner is right for you, this post will walk you through the details of each, and help you decide which one will become your new Best Friend! Honestly though, planners are such a personal preference and you might not know what works best for you until you try it. Here are some of the major differences that will help you narrow down your planner choice!
All of our planners incorporate goals, projects, finances, health, and scheduling into one. We believe that all areas of your life must work together in order to create a more balanced lifestyle. So now you just need to decide which format will best help you achieve this balance!
Decision #1: Daily planner or Weekly planner?
If you are unsure which layout is right for you, take our “Which Planner Is Right For You” Quiz and choose option C to get a sample download of our Daily and Weekly layouts.
If Daily, which one?
If you know you prefer a Daily layout, then you have the option of Hustle Daily Spiral, or Fancy Pants Daily. Let’s take a look at some of the major differences between these 2 planners.
Many people prefer a spiral planner because you can fold the planner in half and only see one page at a time. The spiral also gives you the option to add any of our downloads to your planner using our new Add-A-Page for spiral. Check out this video for more information on how to add pages to your Hustle Daily spiral planner.
Spiral planners require a little extra care when on the go as to not bend the spiral, but if you know for sure that spiral planners are your jam, then we have a new Hustle Daily B.F.F. Carryall to protect your best friend while you are on the go. The carryall is also great for Hustle Daily Casebound as well.
So, now to compare Hustle Daily and Fancy Pants Daily…...
Both Hustle Daily and Fancy Pants have the same size pages, 5.5" x 8.5". Hustle Daily weekends share a page, but Fancy Pants weekends each have their own page. So if you are super busy on the weekends, then Fancy Pants might be a better fit for you.
Hustle Daily weekend page (below)
If you are someone who prefers a planner with customization, the ability to add and remove pages as needed, then Fancy Pants is the way to go. It offers custom inserts for Realtors, Direct Sales Consultants, Photographers, Teachers, and Students. And then we have inserts for Extra Notes, Contacts, and a Weekly Add-in insert which is great for those who prefer a daily format but also want to keep a weekly rolling to-do list and move it from day to day.
Fancy Pants was designed with portability in mind, so although the planner comes with a full year of content, the binder holds up to 4 months of daily pages at one time, but ALL of the tabs and ALL 12 monthly overviews so you can still plan your year in advance. Hustle Daily has the full year of planning pages jam packed into one planner, but this is due to the fact that Saturday and Sunday share a page, so there are fewer pages all together.
So let’s recap, shall we…...
Hustle Daily Spiral - full year of content in one planner, weekends share a page, planner can fold in half to only see one day at a time, and takes up less space on your desk.
Fancy Pants Daily - full year of content included but binder holds up to 4 months of daily pages at one time (but all 12 monthly overviews), weekends have their own page, customizable, additional inserts available, portable and fits nicely in your purse.
If You Like Weekly...
If you prefer a Weekly layout, then you have the option of Hustle Weekly. There is a noticeable difference between these two planners…
Our Weekly planners are great for those who prefer to see their full week at a time and don’t need as much space for daily checklists.
Because Hustle Weekly has a larger format, it’s time slots go from 5:30am - 9:00pm and have twice the space for daily to-do's. This planner is a Sunday start with full time slots for Saturday and Sunday. Hustle Weekly also has the full year of planning pages all bound together.
We do have a Fuel Notepad, which combines meal planning and grocery lists in one, and pairs great with any of our Hustle Planners, especially if you prefer to not carry around your planner in the grocery store.
Now, what if you know you prefer a binder planner and already have a binder that you love, but are looking for a new planner? We’ve got you covered! You can purchase our A5 Fancy Pants Inserts here.
And once you have found the perfect planner for you, here are some of our new accessories for that will pair great with your new best friend!
First up is our Legit Notebook that can be paired with any planner, this is made for students and has everything you need to keep your academics on track!
Business Partner Notebook - Are you an entrepreneur? We use to have a Business Hustle Planner and then we had a brilliant idea. Instead of only being available for Hustle Daily, why don’t we improve it, make it better, and wrap it up into a notebook? This way, you can pick the perfect planner for your life and then pair it with the Business Partner to plan for success in your business. Genius!
Gym Pal - This is a notebook that is designed for someone who is looking to get serious in the gym. It is there to hold you accountable for writing it down, tracking it, and making things happen! Progress happens with just a little bit of effort and this Gym Pal is designed to keep you headed in the right direction.
Phew! That was a lot wasn't it? You can also check out our comparison chart here, which will some up all of the differences amongst our planner lines in a visual format.

After originally starting in Dickerson's garage, then moving into a leased warehouse in 2016, they have recently purchased a new office and warehouse–START HQ. Since finalizing a renovation, they now have a new home for STARTplanner which aligns with their brand.

We hope you enjoy your new 18/19 Midyear STARTplanner as much as we do! We are excited to see you CRUSH your goals! from https://startplanner.com/blogs/news/2018-19 We love hearing stories of how STARTplanner has changed peoples lives. We recently had the pleasure of having "virtual coffee" with one of our biggest supporters from the very beginning (and active member in our private STARTplanner facebook group). She shared her inspiring story with us and we were so proud of her that we wanted to share it with you too... We are proud to introduce Alexia Fields: PS. We also want to give a HUGE shout-out and CONGRATULATIONS as she welcomed her third baby (a girl!) into their family this week!!
Kristy, Jenny and the STARTPlanner Family: Let me tell you why this company means so much. I have been with you all from the beginning and it was a random purchase that brought you all into my life. I found myself at a junction of needing additional organization to help manage and juggle the “life.” See I find myself in a complicated trifecta of being an Army Civilian; a Reserve Soldier; an Army Spouse—did I mention that on top of that we have two boys age five and three and a baby on the way (due in a matter of weeks). So when I say that I live and operate in “chaos” (I carry three phones on my person at all times) that would be an understatement—but I LOVE it. This is exactly where I thrive. I find that I am my best self—when I am managing the crisis and juggling the multiple balls in the air. As a Battalion Commander, in the Army Reserve (fancy term for being in charge of people and in the Army for a long time)—I have quickly learned that I cannot do it all myself—this is where I ‘delegate’ and check back on the status of actions or focus my attention and time to matters that require me to action. That to me is where my STARTPlanner comes in—it is where I get to organize my thoughts and “center” my intentions. It is where I set the goals; manage my expectations and when I find success—I set new goals and when I find failures or shortcomings I reevaluate, take stock on my failures, and then set new goals or sometimes the same goals. It is therapeutic to put intentions on paper and then work toward them—clearly, decisively, and with purpose. It is in this simple planner that I have found a “battle buddy” an “accountability partner” a “cheerleader” and a “friend.” Not it doesn’t replace the “Tribe” in my life but it is assistant—that helps me to manage the schedules; the dinner menu; the shopping list; our budget; my workouts; and water intake---to name a few. For the 2018 year I will be utilizing the Daily FancyPants line—while in the past I was attached to the Daily Hustle. I like to see all my days and plan out months in advance—military travel, family vacations, girls-get-aways, the marathon I swore I was going to run (didn’t happen when growing pregancy and a deployed husband changed up the end of 2017) But what do I do for 2018—I adjust, reassess, I have set up my vision board and plan to live with “intention.” “Intention” is my word and motto for this coming year—for I am determined to my best self; whether that be my Pure Barre, Yoga and Running combinations; planning meals and quiet time ‘to be present’ with the family; growing our family with its newest addition of a boy or girl (it’s our last surprise); traveling for the Army; blocking off ‘time’ for piece of mind. Rest, massages, food, reading and laughter are my go to—I block off time to call those in my “Tribe” because with all the things that life throws at you the relationships that we have ‘Matter.’ So to my STARTPlanner Tribe and this wonderful community—let’s rock this next year. Here’s to 2018 and all the chaos that lays ahead—with “Wonder Star” (that is my planner’s name—an ode my admiration for all things Wonder Woman), all my “intentions” are possible!!!!!
