JSTORY Big Personal Wide Spaces Weekly Planner 28 Sheets Black

Trying to buy a planner is infuriating. I don't need a nonsensical layout with an irrational number of months, a calendar with every single holiday every single person in the world has ever heard of, or saccharine inspo quotes surrounded by flowery detail. When I look for minimalist products I mean plain, monochrome, and consistent - let the quality shine through the materials.This planner is all 3. It's A4 sized, one week to a page, and has plenty of room for capturing my assignments, appointments, and notes. The paper is thick, smooth, and doesn't bleed through when I use felt tip pens. The softcover reduces weight when traveling.The only significant design improvements I add are replacing the "Big Monthly Planner" on the first page (redundant, it's already embossed on the cover) with a nice "This belongs to" section for name and contact info. That's really more of a personal preference and not a ding on the product. Will definitely purchase again.

This planner is massive in overall size, yet the amount of space available for writing in each individual day is tiny and practically unusable. The design and grid take up too much room.
