Stay True Planner Review

I love planners and had always been looking for the perfect planner for a while now. Last year my friends gifted me with a She's in her Apron Planner. I fell in love with the planner! In fact, I ordered the same planner for next year as it has every tool I needed. As a busy working mom, I can not function without a planner. Yes, I still use my phone calendar app for scheduling as well as the notes app but I love writing things down. My devotional time is something that I want to plan on transforming. I had been slacking and had not intentionally invested in my quiet time with the Lord.

I do have a church notes journal that I can look back into when I needed a reminder. I am so blessed to be able to review the Stay True Daily Planner. There are so many things that I love about this planner. First of all, it is primarily geared towards transforming your devotional time with God but it also addresses other aspects of life such as personal development, finances, and goals. Second, I can't believe how affordable it is! It is only $49.99. That is less than what I paid for the other planner I just recently bought. It is a hardcover planner with plenty of useful tools/specs. We have a giveaway for this planner at the bottom of this post!

Background:

The planner was designed by Tope Akinsiku. She is a wife, Pastor, author, mentor, podcaster, and traveler too! She designed the planner after being disappointed with not being able to find a Christ-centred planner that will help her grow spiritually and track other aspects of her life as well. After using it the planner for herself, she shared it with her friends and was convicted to share this precious planner so other people will be blessed too!

This is my favorite tool: The Big Audacious Goals

Here are the daily devotional pages:

The Stay True Planner allows you to set meaningful goals that align with your purpose and values and track your progress throughout the year. If you want to be purposeful with your quiet time with God and at the same align your goals Biblically...this is the planner for you! I smiled when I was flipping through the pages because the only thing I can think of is this planner will allow you to plan and set goals while partnering with our Heavenly Father! How amazing will that be if all the areas of our lives are planned with God?

Your planner will come with a sturdy keepsake box and a notebook. If you love writing notes, prayers, scriptures, or just doodling, you will appreciate this extra bonus. The planner has 10 pages of purpose-driven and goal-setting guidance so you can better use your planner. Did I tell you that the planner itself is hardcover and sturdy? Here are some specs:
