I love the size big enough to write in and keep notes but not super big or thick. it is light enough to carry around or put in tote or backpack. I use the planner for planning and as a diary so what I love about this planner is how it has the upper blank part for notes about my health or what I ate, exercise or creative things like drawing doodles or pasting a daily picture or keeping notes on a card I pulled that day! I also keep track who I called or who called me , maybe even the weather or my mood ( basically what you think is important each day). Then on the bottom part that is time stamped I schedule my future stuff so this is where I keep my work schedule , up coming appointments. time I got up and time I went to sleep. So when I flip to the next week I am reminded what is going on and then each day and during the week I fill the top in with information that happens or things to note that were important part of my day ( just like you would in a journal but I do it throughout the day) . Its fun to look back on it at the end of the year. Plus it is so easy to keep up ( i could not keep up with bullet journaling or a daily journal but this I can!)
In the bottom right corner this is where I keep what I read or watched this week. But also could work for an affirmation or quote!
I need linear schedules and I like weekly monthly set up. I can see at a glance my whole month for birthdays and events and then the month is broken into 4 weekly spreads and it is linear! I see my schedule and keep notes of life on the top and schedule bottom for each individual day . For some reason the block horizontal calendars where there is 4 days day 1 at top day 4 at the bottom on one page and 3 on the other and the day time marks are on the right and left of each daily block makes my head hurt! It just seems crowded and unusable. This planner the weekly section has each day top to bottom going across the entire spread M thru F it just is the easiest format one glance and I know what is happening all week.
Durability it holds up to almost everything I throw at it. tombow Markers ,fineliners with little to no bleed thru. I sometimes use a little water color ( without a lot of water so the page doesnt wrinkle. I glue pictures in it. It has a nice plastic cover that you can wipe off! which is great. It lays flat! ( That's a big deal bigger planners don't if they are hard bound!) the spiral holds up and this thing is shoved in backpacks and totes, It goes to the coffee shop with me and sits on my art desk. By the end of the year I don't have bent corners or anything. You can't really beat the price and this year it came with sticky tabs etc.
Love this planner! Please keep making it. I have tried the rest ( even the name brand planners) this is best. For me the only con is that it isnt colorful or pretty but end of the day I didnt use the brand name pretty ones they didnt lay flat and were too big) this I use I filled in save for a few weeks last years is full and filling in this years minus a few days! SO function over looks wins!
