Hey everyone — I’m a business owner juggling a ton (client meetings, project deadlines, team tasks, personal life… you get it 😅), and I’m on the hunt for the perfect paper planner to help me keep it all together. I’ve tried using digital calendars and apps, but I always find myself coming back to pen and paper — it just helps me focus better and retain more.

I swear by the Full Focus Planner by Michael Hyatt. It’s specifically designed for business owners and high-performers. The goal-oriented structure really sets it apart — you break down quarterly goals and track progress daily. Each day has time-blocking, top 3 priorities, and a notes section. I’ve used it to grow my consulting biz steadily.

I personally think this planner is soooooo beautiful, and I'm going to buy it for my birthday as it's pretty pricey. But the supple, thick leather is so luxurious and very Hermes. It'll probably be a fraction of the Hermes price tag, ha. 

It comes in 2 sizes, and for me, the large is going to work better. And judging by how you plan on using it, I feel like the larger is a better fit for you, too. 

You can add customization to personalize it for years to come.
