It comes packaged nicely in a protective box that is then wrapped in plastic and arrived quickly with prime. The brown faux cover is professional looking and has a great feel. The cover is flexible but thick enough to protect the inner pages, and the binding is very sturdy. I personally like that it is flexible as my bag is usually stuffed full of all kinds of things and I won’t have to worry about creases or dents in the cover, which I have experienced with other planners that have sturdy cardboard type covers. I like that each month starts off with the monthly calendar, then is followed by each day with ten lines for notes, to-do’s, etc. for each day. At the end of the planner is a notes section, followed by a pouch that has monthly stickers to use as you feel.” Lemome 2021 Weekly & Monthly Planner, $, available at AmazonLemome Weekly & Monthly PlannerLemome 2021 Weekly & Monthly Planner, $, available at AmazonDay Designer 2021 PlannerThis 12-month planner is designed as a simple system to help you manage your schedule, to-do lists, and ultimately get organized.

I keep track of my bills in the month-at-a-glance section, then I keep track of my calories and exercise in the daily/weekly section. For me, it is an all-in-one planner and I think it is THE BEST planner ever!”Blue Sky 2021 Weekly & Monthly Planner, $, available at AmazonBlue Sky Weekly & Monthly PlannerLike what you see?
