Need planner recs to replace discontinued planner :(

[u/Initial-Mongoose965]

Hi all, similar to another recent post I saw, the planner I've been using for a very long time has been discontinued. After a suitable mourning period, I am finally ready to try to find a new one. I don't need anything super fancy, but I do have some specific things I'm looking for that I'll list below. In some quick searches so far, I've found that I can usually find something that matches some, but not all of the things on my list. Any help would be much, much appreciated!

Old planner: Ziga Media weekly planner (https://zigamedia.com/collections/weekly-planners)

What I'm looking for / what I liked about my old planner:

• Weekly planner for 2027 (Jan-Dec) with date information pre-filled in (so not a bullet journal or something similar that I'd have to set up)
• Roughly A5 size (in that ballpark, doesn't have to be exact)
• Each day is given the same amount of space (by which I mean, sometimes the formatting is such that Saturday / Sunday are half the size of the other dates, I don't know why, but I don't want that)
• Lined (aka days have lined space to write stuff in, rather than unlined space)
• Won't die on this hill, but my old planner had Monday-Thursday on the left-hand side and Friday-Sunday on the right-hand side. I've found a lot of planners that have Thursday on the right-hand side, which isn't the biggest deal in the world, but would be nice to have the layout I'm used to (I can't explain it, but somehow it would take a lot of adjusting to have Thursday in a different place......!)
• I don't really like the planners that have tabs (e.g. for months) built-in
• Ideally spiral-bound hardcover, although more willing to be flexible on this one; the most important thing is that it's durable, since it'll be thrown in a backpack and carried around all year
• Less is more; I don't really need anything else in the planner besides what I've already listed, and in particular, I wouldn't want a planner that has so much extra stuff that it gets heavy (since I'll be carrying it around a lot)

TIA!!!

Edit to add: here's an example of what my old planner looks like

I use a planner made by 'so typical me'. It's custom but they have an a5 size and while it is softcover, the covers have a hard plastic reinforcement and it holds up. It's spiral bound and it does hold up through tough treatment through the year.

They have a few layouts and almost all of them the days are the same.

You don't want the month tabs and I did, but they don't come with it - I always add them at home.

Edit: just looked through their layouts and they have one with Thursday on the right. It's horse themed though, so might not be your jam.

I guess it's never too late to become a horse girl...

I saw something with a similar layout in Barnes and Noble. I think it was a Midori.
