Read reviews from our satisfied Amazon customers


The Planner Pad organizer is also used by business owners, university coaches and professors, even specialists at the FBI and EPA. And because it's designed specifically to organize ALL the roles and responsibilities in a person's life, the Planner Pad organizer is a big hit with moms, dads, and anyone else looking for a more balanced lifestyle, 7 days a week. And many more!

“Half of any job is using the right tool!” is a concept I learned from my father growing up on our Nebraska farm, and it has become one of the key principles of my productivity training business for over 30 years. My philosophy is “Productivity is an art” — and the Planner Pad® organizer is designed in such a way that our clients can customize it to meet their needs and preferences. The Planner Pad® organizer has been my tool of choice for managing my personal and professional life for nearly two decades. It is a perfect complement to my smart phone and my SwiftFile, and enables me to accomplish my work and enjoy my life!

Planner Pads® are by far the best paper planner available anywhere. In my 13 years of practice, working with super-busy people, I have seen first-hand the importance of using the right planning tool. Although they’re not aware of it, the standard appointment book or planner causes problems for people and contributes greatly to their time management struggles, because it forces them to focus on daily minutia at the expense of the big-picture, long-term planning.


The Planner Pad® is totally different. It’s the only tool that makes it easy to balance all the areas of your life and achieve your long-term goals. I have gotten many of my clients to use Planner Pads. In fact, many are still using the Planner Pad® years later and are even buying them for their co-workers and friends!

We very much appreciate Ms. Jasper’s complimentary remarks and her recommendation of the Planner Pad® in her book.

Far more efficient than Day Runner® or Franklin Day Planner®. I’m a totally committed customer. My husband is hooked, too.

Other options become not only expensive but exceedingly cumbersome. The Planner Pad® is the most efficient system for organizing my life.

I was a devout user of the Day-Timer® but your system far exceeds it. I’m sold on the Planner Pad®.

I was a Day-Timer® user 8 years until I discovered Planner Pads®. I’m a convert. Makes my life more manageable.

Previously I used a Franklin Planner®. I’ve been a Planner Pads® user nearly two years. It satisfies my needs much better. I thoroughly enjoy it.

My company paid for me to change to another system. I refused. I’m more confident using my Planner Pad®


W. Starke Camden

Scott Insurance, Lynchburg, VA

I was never terribly disorganized, but my lists had lists. I no longer have lists taped to my desk or my purse. Everything is written in my Planner Pad®.


Linda K. Daly

Being able to design my own categories makes this a truly personal tool. My weekly planning is much easier than in the past.

I spent 3 years looking for the right planner and nothing makes more sense than this one! How awesome to now have the ease of buying through Amazon! I am always juggling the different hats I wear (Mom, Manager, etc.). The Planner Pad System is the only one that allows me to categorize my tasks and immediately assign times to work on them. I use it to capture work, housework, soccer mom tasks and more. I can't imagine what my life would be without it!
