Mind your business planner by Nitsan Raiter - review
Hi everyone, it's been six months since I bought my Mind your business planner by Nitsan Raiter. I completed every page, and I'm ready to give you an in-depth review of my experience.
When I purchased the Mind your business planner, my mind was all over the place, and I needed something to structure my thoughts and daily activities. Also, the planner is so aesthetically pleasing that I couldn't resist.

The planner
I loved the size and how Nitsan structured the pages. The first pages are perfect for reflecting on yourself and understanding what you want with an awesome goal-setting spreadsheet. Then, the planner allows you to structure your week and day by setting priorities, a to-do list, time-blocking your agenda, and being grateful and reflecting on your day.

The most effective part for me has been the daily page. I love to set only three priorities for the day to motivate me. Unfortunately, more than three priorities overwhelm me, and I tend to give up quickly. On the other hand, the to-do list is magical: when I tick off something from the to-do list, I feel so productive. Lastly, the first section of the page, where I can write about something I'm grateful for, is the perfect reminder to slow down and enjoy the little things. My mind often goes lost in a million thoughts, worries, or errands, and I can't enjoy the beautiful sun or a moment of cuddle with my boyfriend. This section taught me to stop for a few minutes and find something to smile about.
After six months, I guarantee that I save multiple times daily to reflect and be grateful. This practice calms my mind and nerves like anything else.
Unfortunately, I didn't use the time-blocking system because my days are so unpredictable that I can't time-block single activities.
The daily log was more valuable than the weekly one. I used the Brain dump page a lot to take notes or make lists, but the other page in the weekly log was complex to fill out because of my messy life.
My honest review
I am so grateful for Nitsan's planner because she allowed me to structure a cluttered mind and navigate through complicated 6 months. Thanks to this organization, I accomplished much in my work life, personal stuff, and blog. So, if you're going through something and feel overwhelmed, the Mind your business planner is your bestie. Also, writing down everything with pen and paper is therapeutic since you stimulate your brain and stay away from screens.
I would love it if Nitsain released two trackers. Firstly, a healthy tracker to have a memory of weekly or monthly workouts, meals, grocery shopping lists, and mindfulness. Lastly, a financial tracker to track how much I spend and earn each month. I follow my expenses in a Numbers file on my devices and my healthy signs of progress on the Fitness+ app, but I would love to have something in my planner to feel proud of.
I hope you enjoyed this review. Then, in the comments below, let me know if you're into digital or traditional paper planning!
