I've never used a bullet journal, but I did start using a Panda Planner Classic last year. At first I loved it, but I really only made use of the daily section. The way the monthly and weekly sections are organized did not work for me. This year, I'm happy to say I've found a new planner from my local Aldi (love Aldi!) that is working really well. Maybe some day I'll move on to the bullet journal and design my own planner...but for now, the freedom and openness of blank pages scare me. :)
