Classic Happy Planner Review
The Happy Planner is a broadly available, hugely popular discbound planner system. After about 30 years of being a spiral-bound planner user, I just recently changed over to using a Happy Planner. So far, I am thrilled with the system. It has been a HUGE time saver for me, and I recommend it to you, too. That said, there are also some cons to be aware of before you rush out to buy the first Happy Planner you see. I get into both the pros and the cons of Happy Planners in my detailed Classic Happy Planner product review.
