The 4 quadrant square in the Planning Upcoming Week element prompts people to focus on their whole life Daily View ![]() Panda Planner really shines when it comes to incorporating weekly wins and improvement points. Momentum Planner’s weekly view guides you to take your monthly projects and break them down into smaller chunks of 5 projects for the week – another reminder that our brains only have limited space for focusing on active projects. If this is you, Momentum Planner will help you remember that in any given time period you only have so much time and you need to focus on what matters most. One of the worst traps planner enthusiasts fall into is trying to do too many things, filling up their planner and trying to fill in even more in the margins. Notice that Momentum Planner’s Monthly view has space for each week’s top priorities, not just times to schedule them. Panda Planner’s views are heavily focused on schedules. Momentum Planner guides you to do that in one place. Panda Planner requires you to have to think about how your bigger goals flow into months. Note, too, that in the business world, many goal setting methods (like OKRs) share this view. Linking quarters together is where the magic of Momentum Planner happens. Usually, our most important work needs to happen over quarters. Panda Planner does not have any higher time horizons than Monthly. Momentum Planner’s Monthly, Weekly, and Daily views are tightly focused to help you understand how your projects break down from your Quarterly and Yearly goal views. You can see our side-by-side feature chart above, but we want to call out a few key differences that we think make Momentum Planner an ideal planner for those who want to finish their projects. Many of them have time-based views like monthly, weekly, or daily. All planners hold space for tasks, events, schedules, and maybe some notes. It’s very difficult to differentiate planners on their features. We think those kinds of things are fun, but a distraction, and would rather focus on the satisfaction that comes from getting our most important projects done. Some planners come with highlighters, crayons, or stickers. Our community frequently tells us that Panda Planner is the planner most similar to Momentum Planner in methodology.įor instance, both Panda Planner and Momentum Planner are simple, without stickers or decoration. One of the most popular planner brands on the market today is Panda Planner. How do all of these planners compare to Productive Flourishing’s Momentum Planner? Modern planners like Panda Planner or Passion Planner have a broader focus on being a planning system and include mental health awareness with daily gratitude practices. Older, more traditional planners like Franklin Covey follow very rigid planning systems, essentially functioning as blank receptacles for your ideas. There’s an almost infinite variety of planners, including thick book-style planners, printable planners, decorative and customizable planners, and more.
