The High Performance Planner by Brendon Burchard, Green

A sturdy guided 60 day journal for followers of Burchard's method, too bulky as a plain calendar.

The short version

Buy it if
  • Readers of High Performance Habits who want to practice the method daily
  • Self employed people who like a guided morning and evening routine
  • Anyone who prefers a desk planner they can start on any date
Skip it if
  • You want a calendar that covers a whole year in one book
  • You need a slim planner for a bag
  • You mainly want task lists rather than journal prompts

What owners like

  • Daily prompts build a habit of gratitude and reflection
  • Undated layout means no wasted pages after skipped days
  • Thick hardcover boards and heavy paper hold up to pasting and notes

Common complaints

  • Only 60 days per book, so a full year needs six
  • Large and heavy to carry every day
  • Prompts feel repetitive, and the scoring can feel too performance focused
  • Little room for to-do lists, which confuses people expecting a standard agenda

What it does

An undated 60 day hardcover planner and journal from Hay House, built around Brendon Burchard's high performance habits with daily prompts, scorecards and weekly reviews.

  • Morning Mindset prompts and an Evening Review scorecard on each daily page
  • Daily goal boxes and a small time slot schedule
  • Weekly habit assessment and a whole life balance check across ten areas
  • Monthly project planning and life review pages
  • Undated pages, so it can start any day of the year
  • Access to a free online habit assessment, per Hay House

A good fit for people who already follow Brendon Burchard's High Performance Habits and want a guided daily journal that also holds a short schedule. It is a poor fit as a plain calendar: each book covers only 60 days, the prompts repeat, and the large hardcover is bulky to carry.

Questions

How long does the High Performance Planner last?

Each book covers 60 days, so a full year takes six. Hay House also sells half year and full year packs.

No. It is undated, so it can start any day.

What is the difference between the planner colors?

Hay House sells the same 60 day planner in several cover colors, including green, red and blue.

It is not required, but reviewers say the prompts make the most sense if you follow Burchard's method.
