I'm annoyed with how they have been handling the budget planner as a whole. I wish they would make the budget book like the A5 Compact Vertical, with a CALENDAR and the budget pages and spending trackers. Ugh. I love the inspire theme and the folios are definitely giving Trapper Keeper. I'm so excited for that. It's nice to see purely deco flowers and elements included in their sticker book. I also agree the dashboard page is too much, but I understand they're trying to create for minimalists maximalists and chameleons (me 😂). Thank you so much for this.
Agreed... The budget book always gets the wrong end of the stick 😂 I'm curious to see what will actually be available for all things budgeting during launch. I think they are considering these a supplement to the budget system but I was equally disappointed with the earlier version of the inserts. Thanks for watching!
Still watching the video but when you showed the snap in pocket dashboard, I thought a great idea would be to put it in the month that's coming up and then store the monthly kit for that upcoming month. Then you'd remember what kit you was going to use. You could do that for your weekly kits too!
i love the a5 Ring agenda.. i think i'm goin to purchase this one for portable reasons.. i didn't think id like the ring or size..but i use one now for budgeting.. and really like it.. thanks for sharing!
Wish they would’ve made dashboard covers for the A5 inserts.. esp because you won’t be able to fit multiple sections with the 6 months at a time - You either have to keep that first set empty for a divider/page finder or keep that used page always in there.
The wildflower mini bookmarks are probably my favorite... 😍 and I actually like that accordion pouch main color better then the inspire accordion pouch!
yeah, it was a tough call. I went with a canvas after all, just because I don’t really care for the dashboard page in the wildflowers. I think that one is just a little bit too much.
So sad to hear that EC has changed the A5 Budget insert. I no longer think its worth it to just buy spending trackers for the A5 without the entire budget planner package. I really hope they reconsider it....especially for those who've purchased the system for this specifically.
Thank you! Yours was the only video I've found so far that reviewed the A5 Agenda. Wildflowers is ok but I really don't like the Inspire at all. I wish they would have stuck to one single color per month on the colorful option. I wonder if they will offer just the Wildflowers insert or if an agenda purchase will be required. Thanks again, Saray!
Still in the process of watching this but you have me second guessing my original choice already. I was planning on getting a Daily Duo in the Inspire (with the colorful coil if available) but your Wildflower planner is so pretty…
Thank you so much for showing us everything!! I'm new to EC and am loving the wildflowers pattern and was so excited to see everything here! A couple of quick questions - do you think a gold coil would match better with the metallic emboss in the wildflower patterns or is it just as nice in person to have the rose gold? Also, for the plastic inserts, would I be looking to purchase the wet erase markers to use on those? Likely a silly question, but wanted to clarify since it's all kinda pricey. Again, thank you so much for posting!
thanks so much for the questions and so excited you found the ec/planner community. The wildflowers cover has gold accents so wild the rose gold coil looks amazing. I think the gold coil would make a even better match. if you think that you’d be using the dashboards to write on, I definitely recommend picking up a set of the wet erase markers. I use the Erin Condren wet, erase markers but also the MC Square’s ones. I do find the latter ones to perform slightly better amzn.to/3GWJw71
@@saraybailey Thanks so much for the great insight! I'm a huge rose gold fan, but I love a matched look too! Also many thanks for the info on the erase markers!
Great video! The erin condren website states that the 23/24 A5 binder planners come with a double sided pocket for holding loose papers. I assume just like the one that comes inside the coiled life planner. Is this correct? I didn't see this in your video and they don't show any pictures of it on their website. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching and for the question! I've reached out to my contacts at EC to confirm but most likely it is no longer included and they just never fully updated the description. I did see where that was indicated and I had totally forgotten about the pocket which was included since they launched the agenda. I'll confirm as soon as I know for sure.
Do you know if they will have any other agenda ring folio designs? Do you know they will have any of the accessories in inspire for the ring agenda? So far, I’ve only seen accessories for the coil.
based on what I’ve seen in the catalog that they share with us, I don’t think that they will be any other ring agenda designs. and yes, there is a sticky note version for the A5 in inspire, for example.
@@saraybailey exactly. And having writing on a tabbed page. Have an actual divider with the tab and then the inserts. And each one at a different position.
Not true that every planner has these items.if you purchase this exact one at Target(like I did),there is no pocket,no birthday and celebration stickers,etc.just letting everyone know.
I love the decorative monthly dashboard…
Thank you! 😊
I love the Wildflowers! You did such an excellent job showing and explaining everything! Thank you.
thanks so much for watching! This wildflowers design is so beautiful in person
I just screamed out loud at the multicolor coil!
It’s really pretty and I actually saw a post of the multicolor with the wild flower design and he looks incredible!
@@saraybailey Oh my gosh, that's so good to hear. I love the wildflower but wasn't sure if it would match. Thank you! 🩷

OMG! yes the possibilities are endless with these pockets!
The wildflowers is BEAUTIFUL and I plan to get that design!
Great choice it’s so much more beautiful in person!
Love love love the divider dashboards ❤❤❤❤
Loving the New Folio, love the color theme overall! great video!
Thank you for your thorough walk through!
i love the a5 Ring agenda.. i think i'm goin to purchase this one for portable reasons.. i didn't think id like the ring or size..but i use one now for budgeting.. and really like it.. thanks for sharing!
awesome! Thanks so much for watching! Seeing the new agenda, it’s making it even harder to choose!
Love seeing what was in your box! Love the changes for the hourly!
Those Inspire dividers are amazing!
They are! i’m so torn. I’m not sure what to pick!
Wish they would’ve made dashboard covers for the A5 inserts.. esp because you won’t be able to fit multiple sections with the 6 months at a time - You either have to keep that first set empty for a divider/page finder or keep that used page always in there.
Yeah... be sure to include this feedback in the next LP survey they send out!
I miss the wildflowers on the vellum so much 😭 but I really love inspire this launch
I know! I need to figure out if all of them are like this, or if there is in fact, a wildflowers vellum page. It would’ve been gorgeous!
Very nice 😊😊😊
thank you!
This planner is gorgeous! I love the wildflowers. Blessings.
thank you I’m loving this design too so much. It’s so much prettier in person.
33:55 agenda!!! ❤🎉
Wonderful! Love the writing tools!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
@@saraybailey Of course!
The wildflower mini bookmarks are probably my favorite... 😍 and I actually like that accordion pouch main color better then the inspire accordion pouch!
yes, I love how dainty and simple these little book marks look!
I don’t know which one I’m going to get they are both lovely

thanks so much for watching. I believe the inserts will be sold separately as they have been in the past.

Thanks for watching! The Wildflower design caught me by surprise in person. The photos and videos don't do it justice.

Do you know when the teacher planner launches, and if they will have the same designs?
hi! Unfortunately, I don’t have any information on the ECTLP. Should be launching soon though.
I bet they put the wrong vellum sheet in your life planner. I think you got the canvas vellum, instead of the wildflower. Can you ask EC?
Do you know if they will have any other agenda ring folio designs? Do you know they will have any of the accessories in inspire for the ring agenda? So far, I’ve only seen accessories for the coil.

so all of the added pages have the tabs at the exact same spot it seems....
Yes - I thought the same thing...kinda weird if you end up having all the inserts.

God bless the EC development team. People are ridiculously picky. 🙄
1. we like what we like 2. the ec team asks for feedback all the time
