Amazon Basics Undated Daily Planner and Journal for 6 Months Coverage - Soft Cover, 21.6 x 28 cm, Black

This is a daily planner that represents incredible value for money, compared with more expensive brands like Moleskine and Leuchtturm 1917. It doesn't cover a year, as they do: it covers just 6 months, but so many people I know plan quarterly rather than annually these days that that might not matter to you in the slightest. Also, if you've bought an 18-month diary one year, this is perfect to cover the remaining 6 months of the year. There's a good quality hard cover, which closes with an elasticated band, like the more expensive brands. This planner also comes with no less than 3 ribbons to mark your place - more than either Moleskine or Leuchtturm 1917. It is undated so you can use it at any time you like. Inside there is the usual "Personal Information" page to complete, and then a couple of pages of address/telephone number contact details. It would be nice if there were another couple of pages, I think. Then we move into the monthly planner. On that double page spread, there are also spaces for This Month's Goal, and an End of Month Review - just note form on your achievements and lessons learned. After 6 x double-page spreads for the monthly goals, there are weekly planning pages (as you'd expect, 26 double-page spreads). These begin with notes reviewing last week's progress with achievements and ways to improve, before looking at this week's priorities, habits to learn and notes on one side, and spaces on the right side for 4 goals, broken down into manageable steps, and some notes on projects at the bottom of the page. After all the weekly pages, we move onto daily pages. These are single pages giving a goal for the day, 4 priorities and a space called "schedule" which looks ideal for time-blocking or simply inserting what the fixed appointment times are for each day. Finally, there's an end-of-day review, very small - just your achievements and ways to improve. At the very end of the planner, there are 3 lined pages left for any notes you could not fit in elsewhere. Inside the back cover there is a good quality "envelope" where receipts can be tucked (but no stickers, if that matters to you). The price of this planner varies. In 2025 and 2026, I have seen it vary between £2.21 and £7.50 approximately, although if you use Subscribe & Save and order a new one every 6 months, you can save even more. If you're on a tight budget, it is probably worth keeping your eyes peeled to catch these variations. Surely this product must be a loss leader for Amazon? Now to the only small downside, for me, which is that this isn't the most beautiful of planners. The three ribbons are different lengths and at some point I know that will irritate me so I'll have to trim them to the same length. The planner inside the covers is plenty good enough for my purposes and the paper seems to me to be of good quality, although I have not written on it in fountain pen so I can't say if it might bleed through or be unduly porous. The outside is sturdy, but only available in black and very plain and simple. For some people that is exactly what they want, while others will probably feel the need to decorate it with stickers and something eye-catching and personal so that they recognise it instantly. For me, this is an excellent addition to the Amazon Basics range. Many of us will think this is perfectly adequate for our planning needs. I would certainly recommend anyone reading this to take a serious look at this planner before you choose anything more expensive with a big brand name.

This daily planner is perfect—its size fits nicely in my bag, and it’s very easy to write in. The paper is top quality, smooth, and doesn’t bleed, making writing a pleasure. The layout is well-designed with plenty of sections to plan my day and keep a journal. Functional, high-quality, and thoughtfully organized—definitely five stars!

Likes *lightweight *Decent Quality *Price *page per day *great monthly/weekly/daily goal breakdown Dislikes* *A few more pages to make notes at the back *a little bit more space devoted to schedule *starting the monthly organiser on a monday instead of sunday Note: Planners are highly individualised. What suits one person might not suit another. You can see from my pictures above the general layout of the diary. Its monotone and rigid in its structure. Personally this is what I like. If you are like me and only getting started with blank planners like this. I would highly recommend getting this one before splashing out on a fancy one which you might use for a week or two and toss aside. Its cheap, covers all the basics and is good quality.

This is a great planner if you need space for both work and home in one planner. I love the feel of the cover, and the design of the pages. Take a look at the photos in the description to determine if it might be right for you too. I also think the size is a personal choice - there’s a large and a smaller version.

Ok for the price but pens show through due to thin paper. I like the layout though

I bought the smaller planner as a desktop book. I don't tend to use the different monthly /weekly /daily sections in other planners but this is actually helpful. You have 3x bookmarks to mark each section if you so wish. I have had a LOT of planner journals, but nothing was really hitting the spot with what I needed. I wfh a lot and the daily layout helps me be accountable for the working day. Got a monthly overview of appts/deadline, helpful sub sections to make notes. I'm glad it's undated so you have flexibility and can use it as and when you need it. Theres so many dated planners out there. Minimal bleed through with pens (will prob see shadowing depending on your pen type). Using this to prioritize my work at the outset or end of the day for the following day and this helps keeps my focus and would highly recommend and buy again.

So, I am glad I have this. I have ordered more than once. I am very disorganised and struggle to plan ahead and remember what to do. This has helped me massively. It’s really well made, the quality and design. It helps monthly, weekly and daily.

£18 for a planner that spells the word MOBILE as MOBLE. Repeatedly. Seriously 😡 Fix it before I cancel my subscription.

VERY GOOD QUALITY, LOW PRICE. I ORDERED THE LARGE FORMAT. PERFECT FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT NEED A DATED DAILY PLANNER. MORE FLEXIBILITY. I ONLY USE THIS FOR WORK. I LIKE THAT IT INCLUDES A BLANK MONTH, BLANK WEEKS, AND BLANK DAYS. LOOKS VERY NICE AND ELEGANT. WITH 3 BOOKMARKS SO EASY TO FIND STUFF. AND A CONTACT PAGE ON THE FRONT. WILL BUY ANOTHER WHEN IM DONE.PAGES ARE GOOD QUALITY NO BLEEDING THROUGH.

Love the daily scheduler pages. My only wish was that it had the capacity for more months. It's only designed for 6 months, not 1 year. But apart from that, excellent!

I was looking for perfect Journal to my daily official purpose from long time. While going through lots of options accidentally i found this. Immediately pre-ordered it. Yesterday i have received and i am very happy with excellent quality. The way it is designed is very much usefull for official and personal purposes. I have ordered the small one which is compact in size very handy to carry in your bag. if you are journal lover and like to plan your daily activities it will fullfill both of them. Instead of having a big dairy or a note book or having excel sheet this helps alot. Started using it from yesterday. It will be great if the item can be shipped to india. Thanks to amazon basics. Bare with my sentence formation i cant stop write something after getting my item :)

J’avais pris le temps de passer en revue les commentaires avant achat. Très satisfaite convient à l’usage de planification et de fonction agenda également il suffit de remplir les dates. Effectivement il en faut 2 pour un an mais cela ne me dérange pas. La qualité du papier est très bonne. Je le rachèterai chaque année

Perfect, as described and not heavy
