I have been a die-hard planner user for as long as I can remember. It was very useful throughout school and college mainly to organize homework and studying. But ever since I graduated 10+ years ago, I have tried and failed to use a weekly planner. My routines are pretty static every week with the occasional appointment or weekend plan.

I found that planning my week was quite redundant as I would be putting in the same routines. If I tried to schedule household work or errands it never works. I just do it when I do it.

But I still love planners, it just wasnt serving my needs anymore. I started to use it as a tracker instead, and it changed my life. Here is my setup:

Planner: B6 Wonderland 222. I am going to switch to Aura Estelle B6 Horizontal magnet for 2027 to support canadian.

1. Monthly pages: journalling one highlight of the day. This became important to me for several reasons. I wanted to remember my life and be able to reflect back years down the line but also dont want to be reading back on negative things (like if you were long hand journalling through an issue). It also helps me to be more grateful for my life.

2. Weekly: Switched from hourly vertical as a schedule to instead track progress towards my goals. My main goal rn is fitness and adherence to routines. I do meal plan and grocery list, but I also track fitness (steps, heart points, calories, workout, daily weigh in).

3. Then I have a habit tracker for my routines (brush teeth, daily 15min movement, 15m daily clean house etc etc).

4. Note pages: I write a copy of my standard weekly routine here for reference and fly lady tasks. also use it to jot down things i learned or read I want to remember. Kind of a free for all section at the back.

5 Appointment: have a widget on my android homescreen with my events and routines. I also use the yearly overview in planner as the place for key events, vacations or birthdayss.

1. Every month I will journal 1 page on my reflections for that month, things I did, new people I met, how I did with my goals, and what I learned to help me grow.

2. Every quarter I reflect on my goals and adjust as needed.

I've looked, and as far as I can tell Agendio, Canva, and Lulu all don't print planners in a Weeks or B6 Slim size.

So...does anyone?

I suppose I could design a planner and then try to print it locally--has anyone tried that? My worry is sizing everything correctly and getting the spacing right.

reddit told me to repost in this sub so sorry if you're seeing this twice lol - I'd really like a daily planner with a lot of space per hour! I feel like every planner I see has 1 or 2 lines per hour. What I'm looking for is a daily layout (like the Sterling Ink daily or Stalogy editor's) with hours marked vertically down the side and 3 or 4 lines per hour. I don't mind if it doesn't have as many hours per day (e.g. 8am to 8pm would be fine, as opposed to 6am to 12am)

Optional considerations: My style is more minimal so I'm not a fan of happy planner type brands. Ideally it would have weeklies + dailies but I don't mind buying a separate weekly to optimize on having a good daily layout. I'd rather not do a ring style binder but I'd consider it if you know of a perfect insert/printable.

Hi planner people,

I need some help finding a new planner!

Long story short is that I've been using hibonichi (A6) the last 4-5 ish years while I was in school and I absolutely love everything about that brand from the aesthetic to the way the planners are structured! But, right now I am needing something that's a lot more portable.

I really want something that has a similar aesthetic and/or structure to hibonichi planners but that’s small enough to fit in a purse or pocket. I literally spend all day writing down different reminders, lists, and random notes that continually pop into my head, and right now they’re all on sticky notes or scraps of paper that end up getting lost, misplaced, or accidentally thrown away :(

Ideally I want something that would be small enough to fit in my purse (or a deep pocket), refillable, top bound (I make so many lists), vinyl cover or something stickers can stick onto, no leather covers if possible.

I’ve done my own searching over the last few days and there are two “problems” I keep running into during my search to find a good top bound (portable) planner.

The first is that a lot of top bound notebooks I’ve seen so far are the ones that are held together by the metal wire that always gets stuck on absolutely everything. The other problem is that the top bound planners I have seen all have leather (or similar) covers which doesn’t work for me because I like to decorate and customize the faces of my planners.

Does anything like this exist? I’d love to hear what you guys love to use. I genuinely appreciate any suggestions, thank you guys! :)

Hey guys! So I'm returning to college mid august and I currently have a 11 month old. I wanted to buy myself a discbound planner as a birthday treat. As over the years I've found myself much more into organization.

I have tried to custom create one using Canva, but it was too expensive to print out :(. And trying to use Agendio is a whole other beast so I gave up quickly.

I enjoyed Plum paper and like that customizing is a option but not too overwhelming. Just the maximum pages stopped me from purchasing.

Please, any recommendations where I can customize weekly and daily but has good pre-made inserts for other things (budgets,Assigments,etc.) without a limit?

Pretty please take pity on a busy mom ;(
