Working full-time and having a blog on the side can be very overwhelming. I always have to write down notes or to-do lists to stay focused, and this is why I love planners and notebooks. Guru Guides recently approached me to review their 100% custom and handmade day planners and as I like to be very organized, I immediately accepted.
Guru Guides is a Montreal-based company that offers two types of planners: a) a 100% custom design where each of us gets a Guru specifically made for us based on our life, passions and personality and b) a planner pre-designed from the Original collection. For my very own Guru, I had to answer a few cute and funny questions – to make sure my planner really reflected my interests.
The Guru I received is gorgeous – the cover really represents me (gold and rose – who doesn’t love these colours?) and I even have my initials on it! You can see that there are quite a lot of sections inside the planner: a personal and a With All My Affection to-do list, a quote of the day area to keep us inspired at all times, a workout/health section as well as my beauty/blog/lifestyle discoveries. I really like this Guru as I have never seen before all these sections in usual agendas or notebooks. The goal of Guru Guides is to offer a planner that screams ‘you’ and they definitely succeeded!
The only few little things I would change for my next Guru planner would be the size of the actual planner (it is quite big and doesn’t fit most of my daily bags), the notes section – I usually write a lot of notes and I wish this part was a bigger, and finally the layout of the pages where rather than having a page per day to have the entire week spread on the two facing pages which makes it easier to manage and see your entire week. But that of course is my personal preferences – you can always customize your own planners based on your taste
