The Dailee: Student Planner

I hope this helps someone because they could not help me. Horrible customer service. Customer service is everything when buying a product. If you got the wrong one, if you made a mistake, if they made a mistake, etc. I ordered the student planner for 26/27. When it came I realized it started in August and I cannot use it until then. Being a $45+ planner, you would think you’d get at least a year…. It’s goes from Fall to Spring and is the same price as the daily planner for the full year. Super disappointing, they would not let me exchange it. No refunds which is absolutely ridiculous for a standard online purchase (not being food or clothes). I was going to give it 2 stars but on top of all of this, their customer service is run by an AI bot… disgusting. This company needs to do better. Will never repurchase again.

What do you guys write when you haven't done anything worth writing about?

I have attempted to do planners in the past but am always just unmotivated to continue through with the planners because most my days are so mundane and repetitive. I don't want to leave those days blank though, having lots of blanks on the page will drive me nuts.

Using white out

I find myself using white out a lot because of things changing in plans and it really bothers me to have whited out areas especially because I’m using the Valfré planner and it’s pretty colourful and I find the white out just looks awful. Do most people write in pencil in their planner for this reason? So tempted to just get a new one but maybe I can make it work with a pencil. If anyone has dark pigmented pencil reccomendations please leave a comment ❤️

Looking for the perfect planner for 2027!

i know it’s quite a few months before 2027 but i would like to get everything a bit before the end of the year. i’ve been using a midori a6 grid notebook for daily writing and i’ve been enjoying it a lot! so i want to get a 365 day planner for next year. i’m currently torn between the hobonichi techno and the stalogy 365 day notebook and looking for something in between.

i like the hobonichi because it has monthly calendars, the 4 months over 2 page layout with the days of the month and the pages it has in the back, however im not the biggest fan of the day to day layout. i would do the planning more in those monthly sections and would prefer to do daily writing on the day pages.

with the stalogy i like the day to day layout because it’s quite simple and leaves decent space to write and i also like that you can get some b6 sizes (torn between sizes too 💔) but i wish that it had the monthly pages like the hobonichi does.

so i would like to know if there’s any planners out there that are a mix between the two having the monthly pages like the hobonichi but the simple day to day layout with grid paper. it would be nice if it is easy to get in the UK and won’t cost a lot in shipping and fees. if a planner like that doesn’t exist i would love to know which of the two you guys prefer and how do you use them!

This Weeks Spread and Tracking Done!

I enjoyed this spread inspired by ideas that i found off of Pinterest. I think ill reuse this type of planning for another week. Im still rearranging and trying to find the right spread that i can utilize each time. im tending to change it every week, which i like this weeks style of planner because i can change my spreads since I don’t like to keep the same spread each week 😆

Pen recommendation please

Looking for cheap retractable pen recommendations for smooth planner paper please!

I currently use Zebra Sarasa gel pens in a Wonderland222 2026 planner, but the combo feels weirdly slippery and my handwriting looks messier than it does in my Stalogy notebook. My 2025 Hobonichi somehow feels better too.

I write pretty fast, so I think some paper/pen combos just have too little feedback/control for me.

I’ve tried a Platinum Preppy fountain pen but I don’t really love it, it feels a bit too sketchy/light for how I write.

I prefer:

  • retractable/click pens (gel or fountain pen is fine)
  • affordable pens/refills
  • something with a bit more control/feedback than Sarasa
  • good for Hobonichi/Wonderland222/Stalogy type paper

I’m broke so unfortunately I’m not looking for £200 fancy pens 😂

Would especially love recommendations from other fast writers! Thanks!!

Next weeks spreads! 🥰🩷🧡

Having two planners has changed everything for me. I use the larger one to track a laundry list of things, and the smaller is for appointments, meetings, birthdays etc. :)

I know that I'm two weeks ahead 😆 I know that I'll be busy in the upcoming weeks and if I flare up, I won't be able to create my spread, so I'm doing this now while my flare up has been tolerable today. (I got some medical issues that I've been dealing with lately.) So, better to get ahead just in case 😆 if anyone wants to know where the planner is from, it's an undated PaperIdeas from AliExpress. It's too small for me so I'll definitely buy a hobonichi weeks for next year upcoming September when they release their new planners or another weeks planner that's bigger. If anyone has any suggestions on a bigger weeks planner, I am all ears!! 🙏🏻 I bought this on a whim just to try it out, but didn't want to spend a lot of money in case I wasn't going to use it. I now found the perfect planner for me! It's helpful to create my own tracking, but also have a structure at the same time. This will be my go to planner system every year now!

Help Finding Replacement

My current planner is running out of pages and I'm having a hard time finding a replacement. It's a Daily To Do by Bright Day Calendars (I think discontinued). I love the layout of the pages, that it's undated, and the cover has a pocket to put my receipts (instead of me shoving them into my backpack 😅).

Does anyone have any recommendations for a replacement?

I'm try to greatly remove myself from my phone and two major things I want to move to paper are my calendar and daily tasks.

I got calendar inserts for my personal-sized binder for managing calendar events and love it, it works super easy.

Tasks, on the other hand... I don't know what to do there when it comes to managing them on paper. I have quite a few tasks that are recurring daily, every 5 days, every week, two weeks, etc. Is there an efficient way you've found to manage recurring tasks on paper? I was previously using the app tasks.org on my phone.

Agendio deals

After over a year of trying to find my perfect planner and getting a Happy Planner which has been serviceable, I have decided to spring for an Agendio. My work year goes July to July so I am looking to order here soon but of course it is pricey so does anyone know if Agendio typically offers deals at any point in the year or if there are any coupons floating around? Figured it never hurts to ask.

Still loving this super small planner. Exactly what I needed. My Hobonichi A6 is getting neglected. 😬

Any DATED Hobo Weeks alternatives out there besides Sterling Ink? Nothing wrong with Sterling link but I just want to know my options. I'm finding some undated but haven't come up with anything dated. So a Weeks dupe but without quotes or other space-hogging things? Thanks!

Most weekly planners:

  • Go from 5 or 6am to 11pm
  • Scrunch the late night hours if they're included at all
  • Scrunch Saturday and Sunday together

And that's just not for me as a freelancing night owl who works out at 2am. I made myself a custom weekly spread — 6am to 6am — with some room for notes!

Made copies and will be using it (and sometimes a smaller Laconic) for weekly planning. I also use a Passion Planner Daily.

Hi r/planners! I got this pocket sized binder with 4 holes, 2nd hand (age unknown) and empty. In the 3 months I had it, I could not find a single compatible insert for sale. I also tried every combo I could think of, using my adjustable 6 hole Rapesco and 2 hole standard 8cm punch. This mess is the closest I could get, using the Rapesco, but it’s just not doing it for me (wasted paper and holes too big for the thin rings). The single hole punch is also not an option, way too inconsistent.

The spacing is 2.7 cm /1.1 in for each doublet and 4.7 cm / 1.85 in between the sets. Each ring is 3 mm thick, so maybe 4 mm holes would work better than the standard 6 mm.

I know fully adjustable hole punches exist, but their prices are too high for my super restricted use case.

Is there any reliable way to fill this thing up with paper so I can use it or should I just give up?

6-ring binder tip: attach a tear-off notepad on the back

Attach a tear-off notepad on the back of a binder cover

By mounting a tear-off notepad on the back plate, you’re essentially utilising the dead space created by the spine.

Saving Ring Space: You can move some of the spare paper out of the rings, keeping your rings dedicated to your calendar and permanent inserts.

Quick Notes: Easier to rip off a sheet for someone else without messing with the rings. You can always choose to punch holes to the papers to bind them into the rings.

Better Ergonomics: It fills the gap in the back, making the binder feel more solid in your hand.

Somehow attach a tear-off notepad at the back

The thickness is leveled
