Why I'll Buy This $12 Planner Again

A $12 planner that doesn’t get used every week might not sound like a win. But this simple weekly planner has earned its place on my desk, and I’m already planning to order it again. In this video I show how I actually use a budget planner without guilt, how it fits alongside my spiral notebook and resets, and why it still works even with blank pages left behind. You’ll see different ways I set it up, compare it against my Ideal Week, and share why sometimes cheap and flexible beats more expensive or DIY options. I got it on Amazon, it's by Inamio.

If you have ever felt guilty about empty pages or thought you failed at a planner, this is for you. A twelve dollar book can save you time, give you structure when you need it, and quietly wait when you don’t.

Here's a review of the 2026 version:    • Why I’m Using This $13 Inamio Planner AGAI...
