You know how I write about letting the planner and the schedule go at times, right? Well, there’s a truth that’s implied in that statement. That truth? That there is a plan. I may not be the world’s best planner, but I do recognize the value in having a plan and truly do function better when I do have a plan. And to have a plan, one must have a planner. 🙂
For years I’ve use The Well Planned Day planner as the go-to planner. How could I not? It’s gorgeous, artsy, and worked perfectly for my family. Well, this year I’m going to be using the Well Planned Day Digital Planner. Which, by the way, is perfect for me. In case you haven’t realized I tend to gravitate towards things media driven.
I’ve been given the opportunity to explore, try out, and review this awesome program. Now, please note that I haven’t actually added anything to my planner yet {I might have been in NYC} but I have had time to play around with it and begin to set it up for the year. I’ve added subjects that each of the kids are studying and have started creating a basic structure for the year.
First cool thing I noticed? There is space for me to add ALL of my children. This is huge. No longer do I have to scrunch them together, or have them share a line, or get two planners – with The Well Planned Day Digital I can have them all on one planner. Insert sigh of relief and ultimate sigh for feeling organized. It is a huge blessing to be able to see all my kids schedules in one spot.
Get this: these are just some of the categories that can help you feel ultra organized – Budgeting, Calendar, Chores, Menu, Memories, Projects, Shopping, ToDos {ah, the list I write so much about}, all in addition to all the homeshool planning tools. It’s the physical planner on my screen. With the ability to transfer subjects without erasing, erasing, erasing, and adding new lines. I might just know how that happens.
This year? I will be using My Well Planned Day Digital. Feel free to ask questions how it’s going and where I am on track. I just need a go-to reference guide for my day and week otherwise I really do feel like I’m just treading water or racing behind. This digital edition of My Well Planned Day will be my daily go-to guide.

What I really look forward to that I found is the integration with my PHONE in an app!!!!!! Yay!
I was wondering I there was an app! I use google calendar with the app, but if this has an app. I like this 🙂

Wow I love this – Curriculum/Literature – Over 215,000 products will be available for selection (eliminating the need to add curriculm photos and publisher information – simply choose from a list)
I learned that it looks amazing! And that you can *add* and edit subjects.
I learned that it is far more than just homeschooling software! You can budget, meal plan, and create a chore chart!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Way cool. I love being organized.
His, Lisa
I like how you click and drag an assignment to the next day if it doesn’t get completed. Would love to win this planner!
I really love the look of the Planner and wish I could have it so badly! I need an all-in-one HS, meal plan, and budgeting planner soooo badly.
You can Print!!!
Can’t wait to see how you like this throughout the year. I’ve TRIED digital calendars, but I always go back to loving paper best. =)
Glad you’re excited about it…and hope it works really well for your older ones, especially!
just love that you have EVERYTHING in one place and can print everything from lesson plans/lists AND reports to track progress! t.brooks228@gmail.com
OOOO, I have been eyeing this planner for months.
Great idea for the homeschool mom! Can’t wait for the mobile app and offline entry. Hope they include Ambleside Online as one of the curricula 🙂
I would absolutely LOVE to win this! I have been wanting to try it, but just haven’t made the jump yet! Thanks for the opportunity!
This looks like such a nice planner. I have been thinking about going paper-less with my daily planning but did not know what to use. This planner looks wonderful. Thanks for the review and giveaway.
I can customize the “skin” of the planner – not essential to it working but a very nice appealing touch!
I love this!! Finally, a comprehensive digital program and it will be mobile!! Yay!!
I would love this! I love well planned day planners.
I would love this! Everything is right there and you can print:)
I love that you can keep track of not only your schedule, but your budget, meal plan, and chores all in one place! What a time saver 🙂
I like that it’s fully customizable. I would love to give it a try. I tried another digital planner and about lost my mind getting it set up. Hopefully this one is simpler.
What Ive learned about the software is that they even have one! I thought they just had the actually planner to buy! Having it on the computer is much better!
I loved that I can do so much MORE than schooling. The daily life organization is what caught my eye! Love it!!
I love the ease of using this. I have used the printed one for a couple of years.
I love how I can even do my budget and meal planning – awesome! thevan5 at yahoo dot com
I love that it’s more than a school planner, but a whole life planner!!!!
I have to leave just One thing I learned? I love the fact that it is SO very customizable, a feature that the paper version does not have.
I need a “real” planner. Every year I buy something cheap and wonder why I hate it. I still can’t decide between a pencil/paper version (less customizable) and the digital version – I worry I will go crazy with all the necessary set-up – my usual hang up with digital versions of anything.
I will be able to use it wherever I want, my phone, tablet, and my computers. It will be a great addition to our school.
You can customize it! 🙂
I love organizational tools! I think this would help me, going into the school year.
I found out that is more than just a homeschool planner. You can menu plan, budget and so much more! I also love the little picture icons for different curriculum and books. 🙂
The fact that you can put info in for more than one student is awesome!
This looks like a wonderful product to help me organize our home school family life!
I can use it on my phone?! Awesome!
This is just what I’ve been looking for.to help with organizing school, work and sports schedules.
I like that they provide a computer and paper version of their planners. There’s something for everyone here 🙂 love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather 🙂
LOVE organizational tools, espcially digital ones and you can make it your own! 🙂
I love that I could plan for all 4 kids and have some of them do the same plans and some different plans.
I love that you can use it on the web, but can also print from it!
I think I might be addicted to planners & calendars. Really, organization in general. 😉 This one looks great!
I love that I can adjust it to my subjects and students.
I can take it around on my iPad and it looks user friendly. Yay!
I love it that so many of the multiple apps I currently use plus my paper well planned day planner can all be dropped for one beautiful, simplified organizer program I can use on my iPad!
I can customize it to meet my families needs.
I like how user friendly it looks!
I would love to be more organized and this looks like it would help a lot!! I really like how it’s possible to customize schedules for individual students.
have been thinking about this one ever since I saw it a few weeks ago! Looks amazing – and I love anything that will help me be more organized 😉
LOVE the customizable folders for EACH student! Wow!
We aren’t homeschoolers (gasp!) but I love all the homemkaing features, like the budgeting. I also like the idea of accessing it through apps on my phone – no more syncing all the paper calendars around my house when you can access it all the time.
Woohoo! Love the library function and being able to have ALL our curriculum and book info saved!
I learned that I want this! I don’t home school but with the many categories it offers this planner would be great for any home. I like the ease of use and the option to print.
I have never used a planner like this..just pane old wall calander..with 4 kids and counting..it is NOT enough space..this is great..everything all together…i love having all the kids on it..chores, meals etc…
liz
I used the hard copy last year – this would be amazing for our family!
I would love to enter….I live in Canada we need planning tools too! Good luck ladies
I like everything about this software! I’ve been drooling over it for a while now. 🙂 One feature that I think is cool is the curriculum feature where it automatically finds and adds it when you put in the name!
Wow! This looks great! I love that it is fully customizable!! 🙂 Jessica
I wanna win!
I’m obsessed with this planner and can’t wait to try it! I just love that it’s truly all-in-one. I love all the different categories and how everything is in one place.
Planning essential! Love complete custom choices!
I don’t think any planner would work for my life!
Know that I’m continuing to pray!
Psalms 57:1-2 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

Looks like you have to be online to use it for now, but you can use it on any device…digital planners are scary to me…the thought of having to log onto my computer to use something sounds annoying…but you can print with this program!
Thanks for a good look at this, I would love to try this out. No paper would be easy to keep up with.
I am thrilled to see that you can list an assignment and then add it to how many students will do it; this is important because there are some subjects we do together and I don’t want to have to type the same thing over and over.
I would love to win this. We are starting our first year homeschooling and it would be so helpful. I love that it is digital.
I learned that the software is so much more than just a school planner.
I love that if we don’t get to something on a day, you can bump it to the next day. No more drawing arrows or trying to remember. Can’t wait to get this and start planning!!!
I love that if you don’t get to an assignment you can bump it to the next day. No more drawing arrows or leaving myself sticky notes! I can’t wait to get this and start planning!
That’s fantastic! I would love one of those. 🙂
I learned that anyone with an internet connection can use I.
I would love to win this!!
I love that it’s such a comprehensive software! You can plan…everything! It’s awesome!
I love how you can click and drag from one day to next. Awesome!
I would love to win this to keep track of homeschool and home management !!
This looks so helpful for planning every day! I would love to win it!!
I learned I can log our field trips
yay!i learned all of my kids can fit!!!
I like that you can put members on calendar events.
That there will be a mobile app with it! Perfect!
Can you synch it to your phone? now that would be cool !
I can do more than just plan school & use it on my phone.
I learned that I LOVE the whole concept of this software… It stores all my tracking needs in one place, then allows me to access that one place from my mobile anywhere!
thanks for sharing.
I won a version of this from another blog giveaway, but i couldn’t make the switch partway through the year. And with us living on the farm now, i worry about losing internet access (not a huge deal) making me not be able to keep records during the homeschool day (a big deal). Do you know if they are planning to have a version that you can cache on your ipad? And your changes update when you next log on? I am very much on the fence about trying this this next year. On one hand, i love being creative and decorating my paper planners 🙂 but there’s something to be said for less paper in a house with every even numbered grade including K in it!
Are you still using MWPD? I, like you, loved this at first but after almost two full school years of trying to make this software work for me I am ready to throw in the towel. It is still not a fully functioning online planner. Have you had others share this experience? I would love to see some online reviews that are more recent than fall of 2012. Thanks for your thoughts.
No. I am not. I’m glad that you commented – I think I would like to add notes. I’ve discovered I am a real pen and paper kind of planner.
Thank you, Deb.
