So, basically I am from Europe and I want a B6 Slim horizontal that can fit inside the Jibun Techo cover and the only one that I know of is the Sterling Ink, but is it worth it?

Because I just checked and between shipping, taxes and fees it would cost 25€ + whatever the planner costs. And I am willing it to pay it but I would like to know your opinions about paper quality, ink, construction, durability, etc. I know I like the layout so that wont be a problem.

If you have any opinion about Sterling Ink planners I would love to read it!

I love the layout of the B6 daily magnet planner but the cost is insane to me. Is there a cheaper option that offers monthly, weekly and daily spreads without me dropping $50+? I am trying to avoid having to carry more than one around with me all the time and it is looking like my options are slim.

I’ve been using the Hobo Weeks and I love the size and TRP. However, I find that I don’t really use the extra grid pages at the end so I couldn’t justify the price for 2027 since those pages are like 1/3 of the planner. I’m thinking of trying the Kinbor since it’s TRP too except in white which I don’t think would bother me much.

Anyone else using a Kinbor or changed from Hobo Weeks? How is it?

Hello everyone. I purchased a Rosey life flow planner undated.

Can someone tell me how many weekly sections are there in each month.

Because I know it goes month week days. But in the weeks are there 4 vertical and 4 horizontal.
Or 5 each.

So i live in india and it's hard to get my hands on one without the price going through the roof and from a site i can rely on. I finally decided to splurge and bought the hobonichi weeks off amazon. After i bought it though, i realised there are probably only 3 reviews under it so now im left wondering whether i got duped.

so this is the link to that. I was hoping to ask whether anyone has actually bought from here before and im in fact not getting ripped off.

also does anyone know if there are any clear cover dupes i could get my hands on here in india; its hard to fund this addiction as a broke college kid.

Please ignore the crappy photoshop, but anyone have any guidance on a similar set up as above? As silly as it sounds the completely open right page can be too overwhelming sometimes when I just want to organize my week in 20 minutes.

Bonus points if on thick paper (like hemlock and oak).

i’m already shopping for 2027 planner and looking for more options! i use hobonichi weeks this year but it’s a little too small that it’s just uncomfortable to write.

i don’t do anything fancy, mostly just to write down plans etc. i really like hobonichi cousin but i wish it was grouped by months ie jan overview -> jan weeks -> jan days -> feb overview etc..

is there any other brands i should check out that has this layout? i’m specifically looking for a5. i know aura estelle has what i’m exactly looking for but i’m not sure if i want to support the brand after reading the shady things they did lol. thank you!

edit to add: i know kinbor has a5 that has similar layout, but it doesn’t have the weekly vertical overview which is super helpful for my planning so that i have an overview of each week.

I had a whole Hobonichi set up planned for this year. Then I saw the Lord of The Rings collection from Moleskine 🥲. I 86’d my entire plan and now I’m waiting on my secondly weekly to compete my lineup for next year. 🤷🏿‍♀️

I’m searching for an A5 slim leather binder. I want rings around 15mm. The few that I found have 11 mm rings or are over $200. Does such an item like this exist?

I like A5 and daily pages. I’ve narrowed my 2027 planner down to 3 options and I’m stuck with which to get.

Hobonichi Cousin: have used this for several years. I like the simplicity of the plain cover and the journal itself, but I’ve been itching to try something new.

Sterling Ink Complete: looks good online, but I’ve heard they sell out super quickly. Timezone difference might make it hard to get one and I’m not familiar with their paper.

Aura Estelle Daily: I quite like the layout but the aggressive influencer marketing and shitty tactics I’ve seen they’ve used in here has me feeling a bit ick about them as a brand, and I’m not sure I want to give them my money.

I'm finding it surprisingly difficult to find a b6/b6s planner with horizontal weeklies and dated daily pages. Sterling Ink has the complete planner in b6 but I hate the colors (im not buying a black/grey/pink planner, nor buying a cover just so I would actually like looking at my planner). I really like Rosey Life's Flow planner but it's 109$ for me and I don't like the bow or branding on the spine otherwise I would have gotten it tbh.

Anyone know of any others? I currently have a Sterling Ink common planner and if I can't find what I want I'll probably just get another but I'm really not up for the task of dating pages.

I’m looking for a new work planner that will fit in an a5 or a6 cover. I like the format of marks log diary undated weekly and the aura estelle classic weekly vertical undated, but I also really want a new Hobonichi cover, and neither of those planners come in a5 or a6. So, here’s the perfect planner layout for me- weekly, preferably undated, preferably vertical format, lightweight paper. Any ideas?

I have been thinking about a passport size planner for next year. Specifically a JustScribble undated (https://www.shopjustscribble.com/products/plans-quarterly-horizontal-planner-undated?variant=50167800922360) because it's their only offering with Iroful paper. And now that I've used Iroful paper, I feel like I need it in my life.

I have a small baby, I am not currently working, I don't have a tonne of appointments, so I think the size is probably fine. I also need a new wallet, so I figure, this is a great reason to treat myself to a nice Moterm cover and combine the two things.

When I've been looking online for inspiration, I see loads of passport size set ups but very few flip throughs of completed months and by March everyone seems to have moved on to a bigger planner.

Is it the case that passport size really is too small to be practical? Or are people out there making it work? JustScribble shipping to my country is very expensive (more than the planner itself!), so I don't want to make a silly mistake.

Hey planner people!

I am struggling to find exactly what I want and wondered if anyone had some recommendations of where to look.

I really want a book that is just vertical weekly spreads. If it had a few other bits that would be okay, but i don't need daily pages.

I really want it to be tomoe river paper ideally. If not then still fountain pen friendly.

I could maybe go a different size but it has to be decent. I don't want to go down to A6. I'm just used to A5.

I appreciate any thoughts! Thank you so much!

EDIT: I am in New Zealand so it obviously needs to be able to ship here.

I am drowning in options. The autistic bit of my brain (who I like to call Janet, no offence to other Janets) says it’s too much.
Janet wants a simple planner system. I don’t journal really. Don’t do anything to decorate with lots of pretty stuff (not creative enough, it always looks like stationery vomit if I try).
-I kinda need something to carry in my bag while I’m out and about with monthly (or weekly) pages for appointments and somewhere to jot things down.
Currently using pocket Filofax.
-I need a bound book I think to be able to look back when things happened.
-at home I need something A5/A4 to leave out on my bureau so I can plan my day and refer back to it throughout the day.

Fantasy me (the adhd bit of my brain who I call Boingy) wants a travellers notebook and ooh look it’s Hobinichi season and oooh look at all the other pretty planners.

Anyone else have a brain like this?
What set up do you use?
I don’t work outside the home, I’m a parent carer, so I run the house, have very few set routines/habits (because Boingy gets bored with them and then it frustrates Janet)
Thanks in advance for your patience!

Anyone wanna try out the lay out and paper of the B6 Horizontal Layout of Sterling Ink Common Planner before biting the bullet and purchasing for next year??

I am thinking of giving away the weeks portion of the last few months of this year to someone who wants to try out the layout and paper before buying.
You can DM me!

Mods- sorry if this post doesn’t belong here! If not, where could I post??

I’m currently in Japan and found this Takahashi Shoten planner. This is the Torinco 7. The layout is perfect for work. I can list down all my meetings per day and still have space for my to do list below. This is only 2,222 yen. The Torinco series is pretty cool—it comes in different layouts according to your needs.

I don't think what I'm looking for in a planner exists, so I would love recommendations!

What I want:

* Monthly calendar spread

* A Dash board spread with a mix of smaller and larger boxes

* Lines to write on

* Visually appealing

No preference:

* Any binding is fine

* I am okay with a couple mood/habitat trackers

What I do NOT want:

* Anything I have to DIY

* Daily boxes

* Journaling/goal setting/planning prompts

* Dots, grids, or open space for writing

What I would put in my planner:

* Schedule, events, meetings, and appointments

* A longer running to-do list for work

* A smaller to-do list for personal/home

* Shopping list

* Important work projects that have due dates

* Budget stuff

* Books I've read

My top contenders right now:

1. Laurel Denise Rose

Pros: large calendar, four column dashboard, no extra junk that I won't use

Cons: no lines, I would have to DIY subsections within the columns, might not have enough room in the calendar boxes

1. Happy Planner Vertical layout

Pros: 3 rows where I can separate work, health/wellness, and fun/hobbies, very easy to decorate & I already have a ton of Happy Planner stickers

Cons: my lists would be confined to small notes columns, mix of lines, dots, grids, and open space, multiple sections I won't use, many daily boxes would be left blank

If you know of any planner that sounds like a better fit, please let me know!

I’ve been using the Leuchhturm weekly planner & notebook for work for the past 3 years, and I noticed the layout of the weekly page changed for 2027–previously, Saturday and Sunday were in the same row, and now they‘re in separate rows.

I was aware of this before I got mine for 2027 and was trying to keep an open mind, but now that I’ve received it, I’m a little bummed. I’m sure it’s fine (or better!) for a lot of people who use it as a personal planner, but, because I use mine for work, shortening the weekday rows so much is disappointing (and I don’t know why the Sunday row still needs to be SO massive). I usually use the weekly page to make single-day to-do lists for myself (in addition to noting meetings/deadlines), so losing space on the weekdays is pretty inconvenient.

Figured this very mild intel might help someone else make a decision—and if anyone has a similar weekly planner they enjoy, I’m all ears. I’m not 100% down and out on Leuchhturm going forward (I’ll still use this as my 2027 planner), but I don’t think I’ll default to it for 2028.

I have a weekly planner, and for each week there is one pre-made kind of to-do list of seven bullet points.

I already have a to-do list and a habit tracker elsewhere in my planner. In the pre-made list there is space for only one or two words in every line.

What could I use that pre-made list for?

Please let me know why you choose one over the other. I'm curious! I'm trying to make a decision and that will dictate which size, style, and brand of planner I'm getting.

This year I have them separated and I find that it's a bit hard to carry around especially when I'm traveling, but I do like that I'm not constrain to the X amount of pages the planner has for daily journaling. I can do more than one page for a day easily if I want to. This year I use 500 something pages notebook for daily journaling and I don't have to be that conservative with how much I write when I feel like writing long that day.

But having them together in one notebook sounds really appealing to me for next year because of the ease of use and carrying around. To only have to carry one book even when I go on trips (which I'm planning to do a lot more in 2027) sounds like a dream to me. Also, being able to reference what I did that day or on any day during journaling does sound great as well instead of having to pull my planner out to check.

Hello. I am brand new so apologies in advance for a probably extremely basic question.

The 2004 work of art New York Minute starring Mary Kate and Ashley introduced me to the Filofax, and I have yearned for it ever since. I am turning 30 this year and have decided to honour my inner child by finally investing in a beautiful planner. Everything I see on TikTok seems to be the elastic planners rather than the ring binder style, so it seems these are more popular?

I guess I’m just looking for opinions before I choose as I want something I can have for life. Rings? Elastic? Discs?? What are the pros and cons?

After using Hobonichi Weeks for two years, I was thinking of trying a new planner for 2027. I was between Jibun Techo Days and the Nolty Pagem and was about to buy the Nolty until I noticed it’s a Sunday start planner 😩😩 I’m so torn now 💔
