I love planners.

Right now I am using Bloom Daily Planner. I probably will not use this brand again, simply because of the size. I'd always used the big 8 1/2 by 11 size, and the Bloom planner is the smaller size, like a little smaller than A5. I have discovered that I really like a bigger size because it's hard to write on the left hand page as you get close to the spiral binding and the boxes to write in are a little smaller.

It does have all the features I consider essential: tabs for the months and a monthly view followed by weekly view.

Bloom planners also have some cool features like a sizeable number of pages at the beginning devoted to goals and planning and some pages at the end devoted to reviewing them. There's also multiple pages of to-do list with boxes to check off at the beginning.

I want to get a Volt planner for next time, but I'm not sure of the dimensions. I need to check that out.

Does anyone have a Volt? What size is it?

I just looked up the dimensions for the Volt: 6 x 8.5.

The A5 Leuchtturm is 5.75 X 8.25.

The Bloom Planner I have been using is 6 X 8.25.

Hmmmmmm. So the Volt will be slightly bigger than both. Well, now I don't know if that will be large enough. The Volt isn't spiral bound, so I won't have the trouble writing getting close to the edge that I do with the Bloom.

Maybe I should just go back to the utilitarian academic planners I've been using for the past decade.

Or I could make my own, but that seems like a very ambitious project. I like bullet journaling in theory but I don't want to do it for real to keep track of important tasks. LOL
