Picking the Perfect Leuchtturm1917 Planner
Though online tools like Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar can be helpful for organizing your future plans, nothing helps with your memory like writing things down on paper. The 2022 planner season is officially underway, as we've already received new planners from some of our favourite brands, and we'll be seeing many more brands hit the shelves in August and September (including the highly anticipated Hobonichi Tomoe River planners).
If a Leuchtturm1917 is your paper of choice, both the Academic Year planners, which start in July 2021 and run until December 2022, and the 2022 planners are already available. All of the Leuchtturm1917 planners we carry are in English, and they feature 80gsm, fountain pen friendly paper in an off-cream colour. All Leuchtturm planners come with a storage pocket at the back which is perfect for momentos like tickets and planner supplies like sticker sheets. The extra room is fantastic if you take your planner with you on the go!
With Leuchtturm planners coming in all sizes and layouts, which is the best for you? Take a look at this guide to pick your perfect planner.
Weekly Planner
Best for: Creative use, decorating
If you want the most freedom in your planner, the Weekly Planner is the best option for you. Each spread is divided into six sections: five sections for weekdays and one section for the weekend. Whether you want to use your planner for important dates and events, inspirational quotes, stationery swatches, or an art journal, the blank sections will provide a better experience for upmost creativity than the other Leuchtturm planners. We carry this option in A5 Hardcover, A5 Softcover, A6 Hardcover, and A6 Softcover sizes.
Week Planner
Best for: Multitasking, time blocking, visual learners
On the other hand, if you want a lot of structure in your planner, we recommend the Leuchtturm1917 Week Planner. This paper is divided into vertical columns with the times of day printed along the edges. This is perfect for a busy lifestyle that requires you to budget your time visually. We carry the Week Planner in A4+ Hardcover and A5 Hardcover sizes.
Weekly Planner & Notebook
Best for: Everyday use, quick notes
The Weekly Planner & Notebook is probably the most versatile option in Leuchtturm's planner lineup. This is the best planner for all-around and everyday use because it features the days of the week in small rows on the left side and lined paper for notes or additional to-do lists on the right side. It is also great for breaking down weekly and daily tasks. This option comes in A5 Hardcover, A5 Softcover, A6 Hardcover, and B6+ Softcover sizes.
Daily Planner
Best for: Lots of space, ultimate planners
Get your stationery ready, the Daily Planner has a lot of space for you to fill! If you think you're going to be getting a lot of use out of this year's planner, the Daily Planner has one day per page. The top half has the pre-printed times of day to fill in with your schedule, and the bottom half has a blank block for you to write important notes or to-do lists. This planner also has monthly overviews, which make planning events (and coming up with unique gift ideas) much easier. This year, we are carrying the Daily Planner in A4+ Hardcover and A5 Hardcover sizes.
Monthly Planner & Notebook
Best for: Planning well ahead, seeing time at a glance
If you don't do your planning every day or you'd prefer to see your years at a glance, the Monthly Planner & Notebook might be the best option for you. This planner actually features three years’ worth of monthly spreads, so it’s great for both the dreamer and the planner when looking towards the future. We carry this option in B5 Softcover and B6+ Softcover sizes.
Bullet Journal
Best for: Complete freedom, building your perfect planner
Though not technically a planner, the Bullet Journal is a completely unstructured way to customize your planner completely to your personal preference. If you’re a picky user or you want to combine elements of other planners, the dot grid pages give you complete freedom. The latest version of the official Bullet Journal by Leuchtturm features thicker 120gsm pages, as well as additional features to make your journal work for you. Storing your own information has never been more stylish! The Bullet Journal Edition 2 is currently only made in A5 Hardcover size.
