2025-2026 Planner - Planner 2025-2026 with Pen Loop, July 2025 - June 2026, to Achieve Your Goals & Improve Productivity, Thick Paper, 40 Note Pages, Inner Pocket, 5.75" x 8.25" - Black

This product is one that I will look for in 2020 as well. First, the packaging this planner came in is elegant as heck and that made this planner incredibly satisfying to open and look at. The design is very professional and organization efficient. The planner itself seems to be made of high quality materials and the paper is not thin enough to bother me when using a pen. You can still see a bit of pen through the back if you are looking for it, but for me it isn't enough to be distracting (like my last planner). The weekly set-up is wonderful, perfect for students, parents, and anyone with a need to organize deadlines, tasks, dates, etc. The last third of the planner is blank lined pages for your own use case. This is great for accommodating an individual's needs, because I could use it for grocery lists while someone else uses it for notes or daily affirmations. There is an odd time zone map on the back of the last lined page of the planner before the cover, which didn't make sense to me because it is hard to see, but I won't use it so it doesn't matter. There is a pen elastic holder on the spine, which I love. It is discrete, so if you don't use it, you won't be bothered by it at all. There is a sticker sheet in the back with monthly calendar stickers that fold over the page, I am not sure where they were intended for in the book since there isn't a set spot for them, but they are well designed and seem useful. There is also a cardstock pocket on the inside of the back cover with seems fairly sturdy and well placed for small papers, like business cards or stickers.Final thoughts: I would totally recommend this planner to anyone that wants to get/stay organized. It is a bit bigger than I prefer, but its quality and aesthetic makes up for it in my opinion. I will be looking for their 2020 planner when the time comes and I am incredibly picky about my planners, and usually make my own. This one is the best I have used.

I've been buying planners every year for about 15 years to track hours at work, plan jobs and keep track of bills in one spot. I use it as documentation of daily activities at work which is very important now that the bean counters have taken over and question every minute charged to a job sometimes years after you've completely forgotten ever being there. I've gotten very picky about my planners over time and I have to say that this one is the nicest I've had yet.I really like the feel of the cover, the quality of the paper is immediately apparent.The layout of the calendars both weekly and monthly are very nice and both have plenty of spots for side notes.They didnt load it with a bunch of unnecessary or useless pages like most other planners. It has a contacts page and a holiday page. That's it. Then after the planner year runs out. They give you plenty of blank lined pages to use for notes or whatever.I love that it's NOT a spiral bound notebook.I'm in these things several times a day every day and this is quality at a very reasonable price. I will definitely be getting this again next year.*note... I am guessing at the durability rating as I've just recieved this but the second it's in your hands you can tell why my guess is 5 stars.

After several years trying various paper planner types, this is the one that I've found works best for me. 2022 will be my fourth year using this planner; never before in my life have I been so consistently satisfied. Of course, everyone's planning needs are different, so here's the rundown on how I use my planner, which should help you decide whether this one will work for you.I'm a freelance writer-illustrator who is this year finishing up my first bachelor's degree. I also work part-time for my local community college as a Japanese tutor. I therefore need to plan long-term projects while still remembering appointments and meetings that occur on a daily and weekly basis. I find the monthly spreads in this planner extremely useful for setting myself up for success every month, showing me the big picture all at once. The weekly spreads then help me keep those long-term goals in mind while not forgetting everyday responsibilities and plans. Usually what I do is fill out the monthly spread on the first day of each month, then I fill out important dates in the weekly spread each Monday, and every night I fill out the next day's schedule in the weekly spread.This planner is also great because it includes a personal information section, which is helpful in case you lose your planner or during an emergency; a general contacts section, where I usually tape the business cards of new contacts; and a huge section of lined paper taking up the second half of the book. The latter feature means I don't have to keep track of a separate notebook, whether I'm in need of writing space at home or while I'm out, which always comes in handy. I'll have finished school next year, so I might not use the notes section as much this time, but I'm sure I'll still be using it for brainstorming, making shopping lists, taking notes about my work, and even just using it as scrap paper to revive drying pens or take down quick phone numbers.There are two things about this planner that have been minor but persistent negatives for me in the past, but this year they fixed one of them! There's always a sheet of sticker tabs included to mark the months if you like, but until the 2022 planner, the colors seemed wantonly chosen and not particularly harmonious. I've included a photo showing how much the color selection has been improved this time. As a professional illustrator, minor things like this really matter to me, so I'm stoked that all through 2022 I'll get to see this beautiful rainbow gradient in my planner every day!The one thing left that bothers me about this planner, which wasn't fixed this time, is the use of "Columbus Day" instead of "Indigenous Peoples Day". I know this isn't an issue to some people, but it's actually really irksome to me, and I'm sure other people understand that feeling. It's not enough of a problem to make me not buy the planner, but perhaps someone with the power to change it for 2023 will see my review and act!In summary, I absolutely love this planner and see myself using it for years to come. The paper is nice quality, it comes with two ribbon bookmarks, a pocket on the back cover, a pen loop, and a closure strap, to mention the other nice qualities that I hadn't covered above. If you need a planner that has both monthly and weekly spreads, I recommend giving this one a shot!
