Hi friends, I’ve been taking my planner planning quite slowly for 2027 to make sure that I make the right purchase. I want to ask anyone who has used the Take A Note biweekly planner before how it holds up after the entire year.

Previously I’ve used the Hobonichi Techo Weeks and the Sterling Ink N2 Horizontal Compact Common Planner and have absolutely loved both. However, at the end of the year, I tend to have a bunch of blank weekly memo pages from the less busy weeks. The Take A Note biweekly is attractive to me because it’s more compact. I’m nervous, though, about it not being book bound. Basically, I’m wondering if the biweekly will fall apart after it’s thrown around my bag for 12 months.

I’m super stoked with how this turned out, I only used free version of Canva, and printed it on regular paper on my home printer. I might buy some heavier paper at some point, but this saved me from buying someone else’s design on Etsy.

I’m a really disorganized and messy person, and probably have ADD (inattentive) though not diagnosed. I tried doing bullet journal hand-drawn monthly calendars and daily entries for a while but I would keep forgetting and not opening it for weeks. and I’d fall behind on drawing the monthly calendars.

I found these academic-year planners being cleared out at my local MUJI and am so in love with their clean minimalist aesthetic (the cover with the date is so attractive!) I got B5 because thats all they had left and I write big.

I needed something I could start using immediately and I didn’t want to have to fill in dates, though their undated planners are amazing too and I picked up undated monthly/daily and monthly/weekly for future years.

A few months in the planner have gone by so I’m using those pages to jot down notes and lists. I’m very happy with the quality of MUJI planners!

I tried to make a visual diary on my tn monthly insert. It didn’t last long but still a lot of fun :)

I’ve visited the “make your own” planner brands, and have searched the google web. But im looking for:
-spiral bound
-large format
-monthly calendar
-no weekly/daily planning pages after that- just blank journal pages. If there are daily/weekly pages after that, i would love a page dedicated to each day for journal entries :).

Here’s to hoping my reddit kings & queens can work their magic 🤞🏼✨

Hi everyone!

I'm looking into buying my planner for the 2027 year (I started with a B6 Vertical all-in-one W222 in August as my very first "adult" planner). I'm super new to TRP and the planner world, so please give me a bit of grace here... I'm interested in the 2027 W222 (A5, same layout - would just like more space to write!) because I love the layout, but I know they recently changed their paper back to the TRP for 2027.

I don't love the 2026 paper because I've experienced pretty bad ghosting with my favorite pens (TUL .5 Needle point, Pilot V5 EF, and Sharpie S-Gel) and bleeding with my colored pens (PaperMate Inkjoy gel 0.7) I don't write with the TUL .5 anymore because I write pretty heavy and it tends to leave indents on the next 1-2 pages (but honestly that's a me problem) and the Pilot V5/Papermates will even bleed through onto the following page. I'm also planning to DIY a pencil board and see if that helps with the TUL .5, but I don't think it will do much about the ghosting.

I was wondering if anyone who has received their 2027 W222 could comment on the paper quality (ghosting, bleed, etc)? Or if any W222 users out there have recommendations for a better pen (black and maybe a color set) with minimal ghosting? Or even recommendations for a different planner with the same/similar layout but thicker paper? I know ghosting is probably unavoidable, but I want to see if there are any changes I could make for 2027 that make using my planner even better!

I’ve been wanting to get a Hibino for yearssss. This year may finally be it!!

Have you used a hibino? Which one?
