Notebooks and Journals
Erin Condren doesn’t just offer planners. They offer a wide array of journals with the same wonderful thick 80# paper. Whether you choose a coiled or softbound notebook, you will enjoy writing in these wonderful pages day after day.
7. Guided Journals
Finally, a solution for all journal junkies out there! These guided journals are specific journals that help you go in depth in certain areas of your life. You can choose a journal that focuses on goals, budgeting, self-care, etc. Additionally, they can mainly be found in A5 options which is the perfect size for a specialty journal that you can carry around or keep at your desk or bedside.
You can also choose personalized covers for these just as you can your planners! Most of them also include sticker sheets that match the topic you are focusing on.
You can find the following guided journals in A5 size:
- Productivity Planner
- Goal Setting Planner
- Reading Log
- Fitness Planner
- Budget Planner
- Wellness Planner
- Self Care Notebook
- Checklist Notebook
- Traditions Recipe Notebook
- Daily Routines And Rituals Journal
- Daily Intention Journal
- Address Book
- Christian Fait Journal
- Daily Faith Journal
- Gratitude Journal
- Travel Journal
You can find the following guided journals in 7×9 size:
- Recipe Notebook
- Medical Treatment Planner
My Thoughts: Truly, these guided journals are very fun to use and extremely useful. At least the A5 goal planner and the A5 budget planner form part of my planner stack every single year. Although I have not tried every guided journal available, I can confidently say they can all help you in different areas of your life. The only journal I would say I am not a fan of is the travel journal. It pretty much focuses on one trip at a time and I feel that a lot of space is wasted on only one trip.
8. Coiled Notebooks
Erin Condren notebooks are heavenly! Yes, I used “heavenly” to describe these notebooks. Why did I do that? These notebooks can be used a journals, they can be used for you to take notes, they can be used in school at work, or anything.
Of course they also include the snap-in covers that we know and love as well as the thick 80# paper. They also all come with a sticker sheet full of EC labels.
♥ Size Options: Available in 7″ x 9″ and 8.5″ x 11″
♥ Interior Layouts:
- College ruled lines
- Productivity with college ruled lines, plus a functional task list (this layout has a list on the right hand side of the page).
- 5mm Dot Grid
- Priorities and Notes layout
- Graph paper
The 3-subject coiled notebooks include tabs that divide it into 3 sections and the sections are divided into a lined section, a productivity section and a dot-grid section.
My Thoughts: I am absolutely in love with these notebooks. They are so incredibly customizable. Consequently, I have used them as journals, for school notes, and work notes. They are very high-end so if you are just scribbling down quick notes, it may be a waste because they are very luxurious.
9. Softbound Notebooks
These luxurious vegan softbound notebooks make for a truly luxurious writing experience. They include 124 pages of the thick EC 80# paper and lay flat. Currently, they are only available in the lined and productivity layout and you can get them personalized. They are 5″ x 8.25″, a great portable side to take with you on the go.
My Thoughts: Previously, these were offered in a dot grid interior and I loved that. I am unsure if they are not being offered temporarily but those were great for bullet journaling. Either way, these are gorgeous notebooks for you to journal in. I keep one next to my bed.
EC Writing Tools
Erin Condren offers a wide range of high-quality markers, pens, highlighters, and more! The pens they offer are the perfect pairing for your planners and notebooks because they will not bleed through. Uniquely, they have stunning designs printed on the pens themselves so you can display them on your desk and they are a decoration in and of itself.
10. Dual-Tip Markers
The Designer Dual-Tip markers come in a very wide colorway from pastels to very vibrant and bright hues. They are also constantly launching dual-tip markers in the colorways of the planner launches. For example, this year they launched an “Inspire” color-way for the EttaVee Inspire design for the 2023-2024 planner launch.
The markers are in a thick medium-tip 1.2mm (thicker than a Paper Mate Flair tip) and a fine tip 0.6mm.
My Thoughts: These markers are so vibrant and beautiful. They really pop off the page and they feel so great against the EC paper. I use the medium tip size for bold titles and the fine tip side for daily plans. You always need a good felt tip in your planner stash.
11. Ballpoint Pens
These are the silkiest ballpoint pens in the market! Actually, I am not usually a ballpoint pen user. However, these are the only ballpoint pens I carry around with me because they make for a great writing experience. They glide on the page and they are available in beautiful and sleek designs.
12. List Markers
Remember in elementary school when you had these cute stamps in your pencil bag? These are it! These list markers have a tip with a stamp mainly an asterisk and a circle. But there are also different sets like the budget set and the teacher set which come with cute stamps. You can use the stamps to stamp on a list and then the black marker side to write down your to-do.
Deskpads and Notepads
Nobody does a dashboard quite like EC. You can personalize your desk pads and dashboards with your name and sometimes even colors. They are also extremely high-quality and have incredible layouts to choose from.
13. Calendar Deskpad
These desk pads can be used on your desk or you can easily rip out a page and stick it on your wall. I prefer the latter because they are too lovely and high-quality to be used as a coaster (which is what most of my desk pads end up being, lol). It is so spacious and allows a lot of space to write notes. I use an EC Calendar deskpad as my family calendar every year.
14. Weekly Planning Notepad
There are so many different notepads to choose from. Due to this, there is an option for different needs. These are all undated. You can use them to pre-plan your week before writing your plans in your planner. They can also be used for productivity planning. Whichever the case, there is an option for everyone. These are some of the notepads available:
- Oh! What A Week Planning Notepad
- Weekly Wellness Tracker Notepad
- Weekly Budget Tracker Notepad
- Daily Intentions Notepad
- Weekly Projects and Exams Notepad
- Gift Shopping List Notepad
- Daily Schedule Notepad in a Star Wars Design
- Habit Tracker Notepad
- Tasks and Projects Notepad 2-Pack
- Habit Tracker and Goal Setting Notepads 2-Pack
- Project Planning Notepad
My Thoughts: These notepads are extremely functional for me. There are weeks that I don’t even want to open my planner so I can use these to plan out my week and stay on top of all of my to-dos. I also love that I can customize the colors to my favorite colorway!
15. Dashboards
Don’t you just wish you could snap in a dashboard in the middle of your planner to help you stay on top of your tasks? Well EC has that option! They have a wide array of dashboards where you can use wet-erase markers and write down repetitive tasks. You can find the following Snap-in Dashboards on their site:
- Weekly Schedule Dashboards
- Wellness Goal Tracker Dashboard
- Shopping List Tracker Dashboard
- School Tracker Dashboard
- Projects and Exams Dashboard
- To-Do List Dashboards
- Teacher Dashboard
- Checklist Dashboard
- Event Planning Dashboard
- Projects and Exams Tracker Dashboard
- Meal Planner Dashboard
- Weekly Priorities Dashboard
- Daily Focus Dashboard
- A5 Snap-In Dashboard
- Monthly Bill Tracker Dashboard
My Thoughts: These dashboards are so nifty and easy to use. You can use them for pre-planning and they can double up as a bookmark. I don’t use them every single week, I will use my weekly schedule dashboards on weeks where I am very heavy on tasks.
