Have you found a replacement for the discontinued Consultant Planner by FC?

I agree. This is an awesome planner! My whole life is in there too!! I like to use it as a diary as well....to make quick notes on what I've done. Let's hope this thread is all for not!!

Rae, any of their Monarch-sized Compass systems should fit into the PC planner cover, since it was based on that system.

I checked out their website last night. The problem I'm finding is that they have very few bound systems in the Monarch size. Most of them are set up for binders. I think I'll stop in at the FC store the next time I'm in Indianapolis. Also, if I remember correctly, Staples carries a line of FC products. I'll find something that will work.

I'm disappointed, but I guess I'm not really surprised. Most of the consultants I've talked to didn't particularly like the FC planner. It was too big or didn't suit their organizational style.

I have to say that I agree with them, Rae. I bought the planner both years it was available, but I used it very little. I never really took the time to work the FC system, and the planner was very large and heavy to carry - especially compared to the one HO sends us.

Yes! Way to big and bulky. I have to say I usually use one of those little planners that you can get free from the Hallmark stores or the bank. Small and convenient.

target also sells franklin products just in case anyone was looking

I carry a smaller organizer (big to most people, but smaller than the FC planner) with me. I use the FC planner at shows and for my weekly/monthly planning. Like I said, it suits my organizational style.

I have a franklin Covey Planner... and I love it!!! Speaking of which I need to order my 2008 refils soon!!

i would be soooo lost without my planner that has my whole life in it

I have tried several different ones and our planner is the one that i like the most!!!

Me too, I jumped the gun and bought the Franklin covey as I signed up and ended up 86ing it (or selling the cover anyway) and love our PC planner they give us for FREE! Can't wait for the new one for 08!

I love the franklin covey one it rather stinks that they aren't doing the personalized monthly/weekly organzier for pampered chef i found it very affect when i was director with my team. Just loved it in general

This is totally accurate information! I highly doubt that they will stop giving us the calendars. Don't worry! You would have been upset if you had ordered it and when it came it was 2007 (I would think!) so be glad they were out!

Patience!! The new calendars (2008) will arrive as a gift from PC in November!

LOL! I actually paid the $3 to get another 2007 one last month. Mine had totally fallen apart and I thought the $3 would be worth it even if I'd only be using it for another 3 months...

On Consultant's Corner there is still a link to FC, but it the only Pampered Chef specific item is the leather binder.
I find it bulky too. At my work I can print of FC type planners with our e-mail carrier so if I get so inclined to actually put FC into action, then I can use that.

Hey, Ann. Interesting. I finally found FC listed under Pampered Perks.
