JSTORY Medium Monthly Planner Lays Flat Undated Year Round Flexible Cover Goal/Time Organizer Thick Paper Eco Friendly Customizable Stitch Bound A5 16 Months 150 GSM 18 Sheets Black Gold

I love this planner so much. I love that I bought it in the middle of the year and was able to customize the months specific to my needs. The cover is very durable. I've carried it around with me in so many different bags and the outside is in great shape. It's thin and doesn't take up a lot of space, but the squares give you plenty of room to write in what you need. I'm never going to buy a different planner again.

Layout- clean, simple, no distracting decorations and I can see a whole month at one; Monday-Sunday follows the normal working week.(Note to North Americans - most of the rest of the world uses Mon-Sun)Sometimes I get another one for individual projects, separate to work/personal planning.Good paper quality.

I love how simple and clean it looks.

I love this! I wanted a compact but not tiny calendar that would fit inside my planner. It's so hard to find anything that isn't filled with motivational quotes or sections for things I don't want to be bothered with (or feel compelled to waste time on just because they're there) taking up all the space. Every inch is usable and I can customize it my way. Thank you! (Did I mention I love it?) Yay!

Pros:-Good size-Nice look-Monday start-Thick paperCons:-Gel pen (I use Uniball pens) smudges very easily-this makes highlighters (and thus colour coding) difficult-smells funny (possibly due to the ink)Overall, I probably won't buy it again unless the smudging issue is fixed since gel pen is my primary pen. However, I will finish using it since it's for 18 months. It's cute in theory, but I also could make it in two hours or less in a blank notebook.
