Calendar Notebooks & Daily Planners To Stay Organized

Ad Feedback

Planners serve as diaries, appointment books, and to-do lists. They help users manage their time, track goals, and schedule personal and professional events. Besides entry pages, these planners also have information pages and reference calendars. Some are small enough for users to take everywhere they go while others are deskbound volumes left at home or work. Shoppers will find a varied selection of planners available at Staples®.

Pick the Most Fitting Page Layout
There are three common layouts: daily, weekly, and monthly. A daily planner has a page dedicated to each day of the year. This format is suitable for recording detailed activities. A daily planner may also have monthly overview pages for summarizing or reviewing events and goals. A weekly planner uses a two-page spread for each week of the year. This is ideal for those that prefer seeing overviews of a whole week’s activities at a glance.

Monthly planners dedicate a two-page spread to every month. They provide a calendar view of each month with small boxes allocated to each day. These are best for people with flexible plans and broad goals. The writing space for each day is only big enough for shortlists or a few lines of text.

Choose from Different Planner Sizes
Planners come in large, medium, and small sizes. Large units measure 8 x 10 inches or bigger. Letter-sized planners (8 x 11 inches) belong in this category. These can still fit in backpacks and laptop bags. The biggest planners are for those intending to keep their diaries and appointment books on their office desks and at home.

Small planners are pocket-sized notebooks measuring 4 x 6 inches and smaller. These can fit in pant pockets and purses. They make active planning easy as users can make entries on-the-go. However, they’re best for short, quick notes as they don’t have ample writing spaces. Mid-sized planners have dimensions between 6 x 9 inches to 4 7/8 x 8 inches. These sit between large and small units, offering the sizable writing area of the former and the easy portability of the latter.

Should You Consider a Planner with Extra Months?
These planners may have between one and six extra months. Additional months ensure users don’t go without planning space while waiting for replacements. Academic planners usually have over 12 months so they can end in December. These start in the middle of the year (July or August) to coincide with the beginning of the school year.

What Makes Moleskine Planners Unique?
They have a premium design with features like rounded corners, elastic closures, and ribbon bookmarks. Moleskine® planners also offer softcover and hardcover options with expandable inner pockets done in cardboard or cloth. They use ivory-colored, acid-free paper. Unlike regular paper, these archival-grade sheets resist yellowing and will preserve writing for much longer.

What Is the Best Binding for Planners?
The best binding is one that allows the planners to lay flat when opened. It’s more convenient to write in a planner that opens fully and users can write up to the margins. For planners that lay flat, look for those with ring, spiral, or wire binding. Planners held together by glue and thread also open fully.
