LEUCHTTURM1917 370804 maandplanner & notitieboek 2025, paperback B6+ softcover - 16 maanden, gelinieerd - Port Red, Engels

This is an unusual diary. You have 16 months with a month on 2 pages. The diary runs from November 2024 until February 2026. I use the calendar on my phone to manage my appointments but this diary allows me to plan my year and my priorities. The diary is B5 - roughly the size of an iPad.The front of the diary has 2025 and 2026 planner. Each year is covered off in 4 pages (i.e. 3 months per page). After the 2 years, there is a double page spread of national holidays for c.50 countries. The print in the diary is a light grey on cream paper. Most of the time this works really well but for the holidays, black print would be much easier to read.Following that is a Project Pan layout supporting 5 Projects/Tasks per month. There is a “square” for each day. This layout is very useful when you are running what the politicians call “the grid”. It is a high level planning tool - not a detail project management tool.The monthly diary follows. There are 8 columns over the 2 pages… Mon - Sun plus a column of the week. It works really well. It is brilliant for planning. I use it with a pencil - to allow me to make changes… Highlighter identifies my local holidays and days of note (birthdays and anniversaries). Yes, my phone tells me… but using the diary as a planning tool, it makes me more aware of significant dates that are coming up.The diary is followed by 138 numbered pages that have a dot print which is great for writing and for drawing. It is also very handy for laying out numbers. The print is not obtrusive (the light print is good here) and I can use the paper for mind mapping. This is my second time to use this diary layout. In the past I was parsimonious in my use of the notebook paper. Mistake. I should have used the paper much more. You can cross reference the page back to the diary (the pages are numbered).The diary is stylish and looks good at a meeting. The paper is fountain pen friendly (I like fountain pens) and is good for taking notes. There is even a pocket in the inside cover for loose papers, receipts etc.The diary works for me. If you are creative, then you know the virtues of planning on paper. This is an excellent planning tool. The only downside is the danger of losing it. On the upside, as a paper diary, it is hack-proof.

Been using these for years for the pages available for notes. Be aware that this is a German product, so US holidays are not noted and in the monthly format, there’s no color change or other visual cues to indicate weekends. I customize by running a marker down the page to highlight Saturday and Sunday. Still, a very good no-nonsense planning calendar.

I would recommend

仕事と　プライベートで使っています。1日に6行くらい記入し　1ヵ月が一目で確認できる　優れものです欲を言うなら　曜日を色分けしてあるともっと　使いやすいです。

This planner is exactly what I was looking for! The cover is sturdy and stylish, and the paper quality is excellent—no ink bleed-through at all. The layout is clean and functional, with just the right balance between structure and space for notes. It's helped me stay on top of my schedule and goals. I’ll definitely be buying this again next year!
