Pros: This planner looks amazing. It's so sleek. One of my biggest problems with planners is that they are all so ugly or have some stupid writing on the cover. This looks just like a regular journal from the outside and I love that. It is super sturdy and well made.Cons: While some people may like the flexibility of being able to start the planner at whatever time during the year they want, my OCD tendencies really don't like having to write in all of the dates by hand. It just looks unclean. I also don't like how I cannot look at an overview of my week easily. In this planner each day has a whole page, so you can't get a visual of your week just by looking at one page which I find irritating. The layout I also find to be impractical. The most prominent section is an hourly schedule which I personally never use. I wish the most prominent section was just a blank area with bullet points or something. I find myself just ignoring all of the headers and making different lists in each box. Maybe it's just me but doing that bothers me as well.I really wanted to love this planner because it is simply so pleasing to look at, however, I am finding it kind of impractical compared to other simpler planners I have had.

I wish it had the dates in it. It makes it a lot harder to plan ahead. You have to hand write all the dates on the pages they are just labeled Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Etc. in a repeated cycle. It is a very nice idea, but I do not like counting pages and days in the month to figure out what page to write on for future events.

I can't be more happy when receiving this product. There are many beautiful colors that it is hard to pick just one. Thoughtful designs for my minimalist heart. It came so we'll packaged with beautiful details. I can see quality from cover to the paper type. I am excited for the flexibility of using this planner as a busy Mom and an organizer. Overall, I am absolutely pleased with this product and excited to explore more products this company has to offer.

Cons: I thought I did a lot of research when I was looking for a new planner but apparently I did not read the whole description (which is my own fault). There is only enough daily pages for half a year. I get it. The planner would get bulky, but now I’ve went from an 18th month planner to essentially a 6 month one… so not ideal. I have went back, read the description, and the Q&A… again my fault, but not what I was expecting. Particularly with my planner, towards the end of the daily section, my planner is missing pages or it was bound in the wrong order. I’m not sure except for that it isn’t right.Pros: love the mustard color. The cover is quality and the pages are also top notch.Overall, I love the design and the quality. However, I wish it was a full year of daily pages and with the pages I do have, I wish they were bound correctly. Oh! And just a suggestion… since you’re leaving the months blank, you should also just leave the actual month off of it. I started my planner in July, so I just crossed it out, but just a thought for the future.

This planner caught my eye because of the colors they offered. I’m a sucker for those muted green and yellow tones and they really hit it out of the ball park.The planner is a sturdy planner—thicker than an A5 leurchtturm if you’re familiar with that brand—and it’s bound well and feels like it will last.I like that there is a weekly plan before the daily pages so I can see all I have to do. Monday-Friday has it’s own page but Saturday and Sunday are grouped together on a page with just to-dos and a blank ruled page on the other side.Please be aware there are only 26 weeks so roughly a half year. This is great if you don’t need to plan for every week but if you do, you’ll need to purchase 2 of these notebooks. The monthly pages offer the full year though so you can pick and choose which weeks you want to focus on.I’m not the biggest fan of ruled planners as the spaces between lines are very wide and I have small writing so there’s a lot of wasted space. I wish they would go with dotted but that’s just a personal preference.There are a few ruled pages in the back to keep notes or habit trackers but they are ruled.The paper held up well to different pens and markers. Only a little ghosting with my zebra mildliner and that’s when I went over it twice. Even fountain pen ink held up well with little to no ghosting and the lines remained crisp. No shading but I wouldn’t expect that from this kind of paper.I think this is best for people who need a simple planner and not overly busy. They can quickly fill in the dates and their couple tasks/appointments a week and that’s that. If you have a ton of deadlines and tasks, I would go with something else because I don’t think there’s enough room to put everything down.Overall, if you’re looking for simple but structured planner with monthly and some weekly pages then this is for you. It isn’t overly complicated and easy to slot in your appointments and tasks.
