Anecdote 2025-2026 Planner: A Monthly, Weekly & Daily Planner 2025-2026 for Planning Your Success - A5 Size Hardcover Start Anytime and Achieve your Goals - Mustard

After a couple months of daily use, I adore this planner. I absolutely love planners and notebooks, and it’s rare for me to last more than a couple months before getting a different planner, just to shake things up. But I think I’m sold on this one for good.I have very small handwriting, but the boxes in the monthly section are easily large enough for me to write several things in each box. I love the light text, I love the weekly to-do & priorities page, I love the hourly breakdown and the priorities & to-do lists, I love the full agenda page for the weekends, and I love the notes page at the end of each week. I’m an admissions advisor for a university and I appreciate how many hours, tasks, and notes spaces are on each page. I have a ton of advising appointments each day and it’s helpful for me to have them all written down, same with the assorted tasks I need to accomplish for each student, meeting prep, tracking metrics, etc. so it’s nice to have plenty of space for each day. I can imagine this being an excellent student planner and I’m rather sad I didn’t have it in undergrad. But I’ll be buying this planner every 6 months like clockwork for the rest of my life, so I’ll let you guys know how it works when I’m in grad school!However, if you’re someone that doesn’t have a significant amount of “tasks” & appointments or tasks at specific times each day, this planner may look a bit bare for you and maybe wouldn’t be necessary. Like, back in college I worked a few different jobs, including bartending, baristing, line chef at a gyro restaurant, and as an optician at an optical shop. If any of those were my full time career & I didn’t have many specific hourly daily appointments or tasks, or a lot of work related tasks, it wouldn’t be super necessary and you could easily get by just fine with a smaller weekly spread, especially if you don’t want to spend the money.The quality is absolutely worth the price — one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time!

Cosmetically: sturdy covers, very durable, won’t fold with one handed grip strength. Page durability just right too; using a pilot V extra fine point pen and it doesn’t bleed through. Features: great that the dates on the monthly outlook are blank but if there’s only 6months of the daily outlook, someone dropped the ball when planning for repeat customers. I’ve started my 2023 outlook, but because the daily pages end on July 2nd, I’ll need another planner for my daily July through December 2023. The inconvenience of the monthly pages not being blank leaves my first 6 months either looking back (pointless since I’d already have that filled in the first book) OR my first 6 months will be 2024 and then jump back into 2023. Months should’ve been blank.Because of the inconsistency of chronological order, I’m more than likely going to pass on purchasing this again. Or perhaps buy it once more for the six months unaccounted for in the daily and then search for a new planner with a 52 weeks outlook for 2024.

Wonderful. Lots of space to write but I didn’t realize that the day numbers were not written in on the calendars!

I really love that we have the undated option especially for those who are new to planning , I am planning to use this planner as my on the go work / school planner and I wanted to thank anecdote goods for letting me review this planner

1. The color options! Amazing!2. VERY NICE QUALITY! Feels so expensive and luxuries! As the outside, as well as the paper.3. LOVE the concept of not adding the years and the dates! You can pick up from where you left or, like me, start from November ‘22 and use it till November ‘23. Saves paper and is actually useful!4. Has TWO strings for bookmarking!! How awesome! Multitaskers will love this feature! :)5. A pocket at the end of the planner to store whatever it is one likes/wants to store. How thoughtful!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!November 25, 2022: Purchased the pink and blue as Christmas gifts for my coworkers.*Disclaimer: the mustard planner was sent to me for free. I purchased the pink and blue with my own money. The review is HONEST and is not influenced or affected. I am not paid to promote this product.

I switched to this from moleskin because they didn't have the layout I wanted in the color I wanted. Lol I've gotten tired of black so I switched to the "ink blue" which is a greyish blue-green. I also like that the cover is not leather. I'm not sure what it's called but it feels more sturdy and sleek.After 3 months, the layout seems to be working a lot better as described than I initially expected. It really does kind of encourage you to keep goals on your lists until you finish them.The most important things to note which are only barely addressed int he product description:1. You do have to label the dates not only on the individual pages but also on the yearly calendar at the front. I imagine this is because it is a 6 month planner and you don't know when someone will purchase it. And also so they don't have to change a thing each year. To me, this is fine as I just labeled every page the day I got it. I like that the day of the week is at the top of the pages rather than just the date (as I believe the moleskin daily planner is iirc). Gives you more awareness of your time.2. It is only for 6 months but has a 12 month calendar at the front. I find this simultaneously annoying but also perhaps good at tricking you when you look at the pages and think "oh look is have the entire year left to do this." I would however, prefer thinner pages for a full year as an option because when I get to July I imagine it will be very annoying. Especially if I get another one and have to cross reference between the two.As a very minor point, the line ink is a little on the light side and looks weird and unnoticeable when I write in pen. I guess for pencil users this is actually a plus and I don't necessarily mind.Anyway, I really like this layout and it's serving me well and I really like the look too. Will likely repurchase for rest of this year but idk about the next.

The media could not be loaded.  Anecdote was kind enough to send me a planner to review and I gotta say I've lucked out. This planner is very thoughtfully designed and is highly functional. It's also got a lovely textured cover, great colour options, and bleed-resistant cream coloured pages within. This is the only planner I've tried so far where I can write on the pages with my fountain pen (Kaweco fine nib) and not have the ink bleed and make the writing less fine. All the printing inside the planner is in delicate grey ink so it's actually quite gorgeous to write in and your writing will always be the focus of the page. It opens with Jan-Dec calendars where you fill in the year and dates yourself. Then, each week day has a dedicated page which contains a schedule, priorities, to do list, and notes section. I like that there is an overview and extra notes section between every week so there's room to catch additional notes. Most planners include the extra pages at the very end, but I've been finding it more useful included between each week. It gives you a little freedom to get creative with your planner too! I've made an unboxing and first look video if anyone wants to preview what the packaging and quality is like.

This is the planner of my DREAMS!!It’s customizable for each day AND has a timeline for each day and hour it’s so wonderful! It’s sturdy and have many pages.I love this planner and would get it again!

It is not as big as I thought, it feels really limited
