Blue Sky 2021 Weekly & Monthly Planner, Flexible Cover, Twin-Wire Binding, 8.5" x 11", Laila (125889)

Budget friendly price with all the usual expectations of a planner. The front is a clear POCKET cover. So that means you can use it to store some other paper work, and/or to slip out the cover design and insert your own. This would be perfection of the rear cover had the same going for it.As for the layout, it has what I am looking for: A full month tabbed calendar with space to jot down notes- typical layout Sunday-Saturday (thank you), followed by a full week (M-S, Monday-Friday having a larger space, with Saturday & Sunday sharing a space. That's how I like it). There is a notes section in the back, and there is a page with holidays listed, whole year at a glance, etcI use my planner daily. I prefer a paper copy over a digital. I am one to memorize better if I have been "active" with my planner ie; writing it down, being able to really look at it. I also find it relaxing to have this paper world in front of me. Besides the usual appointments and work schedule, I also use it for keeping track of my reviews. I do a lot of writing, and I enjoy jotting down what I reviewed. I also jot down some of the highlights or tasks of the day. Kind of keeps me motivated, and also helps me to see all that I have accomplished. Some days I am so down and out that just seeing something as simple as "took shower" can give me a boost. Other times I get so much done I havent the space or inclination to write it all down. Basically it is my life organizer but more importantly my way of checking in with myself.So yeh, a planner is what you make of it. And this is the size and style I like to work with each day.

I am not a planner-obsessed person, but there are a few things I specifically look for when buying a new planner; Monthly/weekly layout, good quality paper, and monthly tabs. Gotta have my tabs.I love the layout of this planner. I prefer planners that have a large monthly layout along with a weekly layout. I need that "month at a glance view" along with the weekly spots that allow me to jot more information. This planner has both of these options. Each month takes up two pages. There is a section on the right side for extra notes. It also shows the previous and upcoming month views. Each daily square is a good size and lined, which allows for neater writing. There's room to decorate with stickers and/or washi if that's your thing.The weekly section contains large spaces for each day - plenty of room to write in a lot of details or add stickers. The right side of each weekly two-page section contains a spot for notes and a spot for a To-do list.Additionally, this planner has pages for your contact info, yearly goals, important contacts, important dates, two yearly overviews, and extra note pages. There is a laminated page that details holidays (US-based) over a period from 2021 to 2024 on one side and a map of the USA on the other.The paper is good quality and feels smooth when writing. The front cover is laminated and the back is a vinyl-y type of material. The spiral is a nice compact size - not too big and not so small that pages get stuck. The spiral is well-made and doesn't allow pages or the cover to pop off. Speaking of the cover - it's actually a heavy-dity laminated pocket. You can store something behind the cover or you can take the whole cover out and insert something else if you prefer to change up your design.I have purchased Blue Sky planners in the past and will continue to do so as they consistently meet my needs.

I love this planner! I prefer a no fuss planner. I don’t put my entire life in a planner, but I do like to add month and day details. This fits the bill! It’s not huge and heavy. The line spacing isn’t tiny or too large. It has extra pages for: yearly overview, personal information with year goals, contacts, important dates (by month), includes a month calendar for July-December 2020, couple of extra pages for notes and that’s it. Super simple. I love that it has a month calendar and day calendar for each month. That is super handy! You can do a brief note on the month and then go to the specific day and write more details there. The cover is beautiful. I love the plastic so I can wipe off a spill if needed. Could this be used for a budget or financial calendar? Yes...it all depends on how you use it. Could this be used as a life organizer? Yes...again...all depends on how detailed you prefer things. So this too me, is a great medium planner. Not too simple and not too fussy.

I like to joke that I have my work calendar, my home calendar and then of course my work planner. When I'm in meetings sometimes I need a quick view of a month to see what exactly is going on. I had a 2020 version of the BlueSky and at first I tried to buy a "cheaper" planner. I regretted it instantly as it was flimsy and didn't have the same quality. I also don't need a planner with a bunch of extra stuff in it. I literally want to see the months with big squares and then possibly the weekly view (but if we are honest I only use the months). The tabs are perfect for quickly skimming through to help plan ahead. The great thing also is that it starts in August 2020 and goes until December 2021 so I'm not having to buy a planner halfway through the year (unless I want the next year's planner). This is hands down my favorite simple planner and I'll continue buying this one in the future.

The nice thing is it starts out with a 12 month yearly overview of 2021 after that a page for your contacts & a separate page for your important dates followed by a calendar for the last 6 months of 2020 & along the right edge of each page room for some note taking then starts your 2021 calendar & at the bottom right of each calendar page list a small calendar of the previous month & the following month then after each calendar month list pages for each day within that month where u can write in whatever u need to do for that particular day when u come to the end of 2021 it has 3 pages for notes then a page for all the holidays & the last page is a map showing all the states & capitals now what's not to like about a weekly planner like this?

I was excited to get this planner only to start using it and realized that a lot of the dates and days are incorrect- as you see in this picture March goes March 1,2,3,1,2,3 for the first week then 7,8,9,10,8,9,10This mistake is the whole book - I didn’t take photos of Jan and Feb bc it has personal information already in it ..such a waste of time and money someone really failed to do their job before this went to print - save your time and money and don’t buy this

I’ve ordered this brand of planner for the past 3 years. Unfortunately this one arrived with misprinted months. It included monthly calendars for June - December 2020 not in the correct order of the months, and the monthly calendar for January 2021 was printed as December 2021.

Quality, attractive, seven full days per week and To Do and Notes. It has substantial monthly tabs, weekly pages have a full Saturday and Sunday portion, as well as two separate note portions, one being labelled To Do and the other Notes. I use this planner for financial planning and recording of bills due on their specific due dates, and also to record payments and receipts on individual days. The To Do and Notes section are very helpful in follow ups for orders and required actions, etc. There is a lot of room and flexibility to be used as would fit other purposes, such as keeping track of other happenings, plans or appointments. In my opinion this was the best of what was available at the time after looking carefully.

Well priced, perfect planner, exactly what I wanted. Covers all 2021 plus tail end of 2020. Not a carry it around size at 8.5 x 11. Each month indexed with tab, starts with 2 page monthly areas for quick reminder and overview and follows with 2 pages per week divided into days with ample assigned room to put all that daily "stuff" you purchased the planner for. Coated flexible cover, spiral binding. Covers flower motif follows through the rest of planners pages . Nice printing and script. Few blank note pages allocated at end and a dates to remember spot. And since this is an American printing ends with a map of USA

This is a pretty basic planner. It works, but next time I'll definitely get something more catered to my specific needs. This one doesn't haven't a lot of detail, and has a little bit of an awkward size. However, I think it will work okay for me, it's just not quite what I bargained for.
