Looking For An Awesome Daily Or Weekly Planner ...

[LWW]

Looking hard at Leuchtturm, Rhodia, Moleskine and Franklin Covey but am willing to consider others.

 

I'm replacing an old DAY-TIMER that has served me well, but I no longer carry a planner daily and am searching for something nicer and of course fountain pen friendly.

 

The only thing available locally is the Moleskine.

 

All helpful comments will be appreciated and considered.

 

I don't want to say money is no object, but $100.00 doesn't scare me if everything is right.

 

Thanks to all in advance.

I recommend Filofax personal planner. The one I have has served me well for 30 years.

I use Hobonichi, the A6 size. New ones for 2020 2021 are just coming out now.

Long time Franklin Covey planner user (since January 1986). I use the Classic size which is approximately A5. The paper on the one I use (Monticello) is good but not as good as it used to be.

At the risk of repeating myself, you can't go wrong with a Filofax organiser. For example: https://us.filofax.com/us/organizers/metropol-personal-organizer-filofax.html?___SID=U in the 'Personal' size or this in A5 https://us.filofax.com/us/organizers/domino-a5-organizer-filofax.html

Check Midori a Japanese company that make planners with fountain pen friendly paper

 

Exacompta which is the business planner branch of the Rhodia/Clairefontaine group. The link below connects to Exaclair, their U.S distributor.

Exacompta has been -the- name for paper planner for businesses, in France.

 

Quo Vadis planners have more fun color covers and are available for the school year as well as the calendar year.

This planner from Clairefontaine looks basic, it might be hard to get in the U.S, now due to the transportation delays because it is made in France.

I second Hobonichi! They come in a few sizes (A6, A5, B6 if I recall correctly)? The B6 weeks is the weekly journal which Ill probably be switching to from the A5 techo I had this year. Theyre Tomoe River paper planners.

I don't understand why more fountain pen folks don't use Quovadis Life Journal.

Year, Month, Week, and Days are outlined but blank.

I use a different ink every week and I can look back on 52 weeks of different inks when the year is completely filled out.

 

Before you decide I would take a look at the weekly lined in pages to see if it excites you.

I love mine and would never consider anything else. It is FUN to fill-out and use.

+1 for Quo Vadis! I had been using PC based systems when i was working but since retiring i wanted another option. The Quo Vadis Note 21 is perfect for me. They have so many formats I don't know why anyone would bother looking anywhere else for a planner....and with their Clairefontaine paper it's totally fountain pen friendly!

Thanks for the responses.

 

I ended up going with the basic black Leuchtturm weekly for 2021, the determining factor was that I found a Leuchtturm notebook and the paper seems decent, and I wanted to support GOULET PENS ... great folks.

 

I also picked up a cover that is made from the huge of a nauga on AMAZON. that has a pen loop and a iPad mini case built it.

Has anyone here used a Bibliophile journal illustrated by Jane Mount (available at chroniclebooks.com and Amazon)? I've used a Moleskine weekly planner for several years but would try something new for a change.

That quo Vadis planner looks pretty awesome. Myself, I settled on a subset of bullet journal in a simple muji grid notebook.

 

I also have disc binding notebooks but never really got into it.

This year I used a Wonderland 222 weekly planner, which, according to the company's website, uses Tomoe River 52 gsm paper. The website notes that the 2021 version of the planner uses the new version of that paper.

I'll admit that I use the cheapest one I can find that fits in my purse. I think I paid a buck plus tax for the current one at a local Dollar Tree. I don't need one for work, so I go cheap and disposable, and at the end of the year the pages get recycled.
