I’ve been using an Erin Condren Life Planner for the last 10 years. I started out using the 7×9 size in their vertical layout, but then switched to the horizontal layout because that works better for how I like to use the planner. Then, two years ago, I decided to try out the A5 life planner size and I love it so much.
I did a full review comparing the regular 7×9 size to the A5 size. The compact size is so much cuter and practical for me. I don’t travel with my planner, but I prefer the smaller size on my desk. If you are interested in getting an Erin Condren A5 Life Planner, keep reading for why I love mine and a review of the new 2024 planner.
