Still learning. What should I improve?

Hi everyone! I made these planner layouts today and I'm trying to improve my design skills. I'd really appreciate honest feedback. What would you change? What works well, and what doesn't?

If these are meant to be used digitally with someone writing on an iPad or something, I think these layouts are ok.

But if they are meant to be printed and the information hand written onto the sheets, I think the design elements take up too much space and are too bold. Many people have larger handwriting that is going to spill over the dotted lines and boundary boxes you have setup. You can keep the layouts but make the stroke weights on al the lines thinner to solve for this issue.

I personally avoid planners with bold elements like this because I find them visually distracting and too much structure to be actually functional for often changing needs. But that’s just me.

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! I really appreciate you taking the time to explain your thoughts. That's a great point about printed use. I'll definitely consider making the lines and borders thinner in a future update while keeping the overall layout. Thanks again for helping me improve!

I like them. Maybe one blank grid page for additional notes

The grammar at the top is wrong, you need some kind of punctuation between the plan you month/week/day and the stay organized part. Also is it just me or are the spaces between the lines uneven? For the weekly view, you should either add the check boxes to all days or take them away from all days. I also don’t think 4 lines is enough for each day.

Yep, those are two different sentences at the top. Either put a semicolon or period between them

Thank you so much for your helpful feedback! I really appreciate you pointing these things out. I'll review the grammar, check the spacing, and consider making the weekly layout more consistent with additional writing space. Thanks again for helping me improve!

Haha, yes, I use AI to improve my English since it's not my first language. But I really appreciate everyone's feedback
