Moleskine 18 Month 2020-2021 Daily Planner, Hard Cover, Large (5" x 8.25") Sapphire Blue

I'm not sure if I just got really lucky with a good batch or if Moleskine's 70gsm paper has improved dramatically lately. What I can tell you is that I tried more than 120 watercolors ranging from the cheep end of student grade to the highest quality artist grade, and not a single color bled through the paper in the 18-month daily planner. There's some buckling in the wettest spots, but that's to be expected to with paper this light and flattens a bit when the book is closed.Other considerations ...PENS / MARKERSI also tested every pen and marker I own and found the only things which consistently bled were a Pilot Varsity fountain pen (though only very tiny dots) and Sharpie Fine Point markers (complete bleed-through). Pentel Fude Touch brush pens which are dye based and often bleed in journals only ghosted a slight bit. All my gel pens, rollerball pens, fineliners, and pigment-based markers were fantastic. I can't see them at all on the other side.If using gel pens, I would recommend a thinner line like Uniball's 0.38 because the 0.5 stays wet just a tad too long and might transfer if you write on the reverse too quickly. The 0.38 dries faster.BINDING AND COSTThe elastic is just the right tightness, and the cover is what I've come to expect from Moleskine. At roughly $0.03 to $0.04 per page, you will not find a better value for a notebook / planner this thick and versatile.COVERSIt's heavy, of course! I could use the hardcover alone but have chosen to place it in an A5 Moterm leather journal cover, sliding into both the front and back pockets for a "hug" format. Fits like a glove with space for a few tabs. I wouldn't tip in too many additional items, though, as the snap might not be generous enough to accommodate more than the Moleskine itself. It's that big.This also fits -- alone only -- in a Wanderings A5 leather traveler's notebook, but I'm reluctant to keep it there long term because the band might hurt the spine of the notebook. Or, maybe not? It might be worth a try because the Wanderings suede-ish leather feels so good in the hand.As I collect more covers, I'll experiment and report back.USAGEI will either use this as a one-page-per-day sketchbook for or sacrifice the first few months for notes / lists / scribbles and then make it my "one book" daily planner and journal for January 2021-December 2021.EXTRASI don't need all the extra pages at the front and might make art over a few, but I do find several elements really useful. The monthly calendars are helpful, as are the ruler, time zone world map, and conversions (metric to imperial, C to F, etc.).TL/DRI've owned eight Moleskines, and this is the best by far. It takes watercolor, pens, and markers significantly better than the Cahier line and a bit better than the Classic line as well. The thickness of this book is especially satisfying.

I prefer weekly planners over daily planners, but this was the only one in stock that I could find that had the range I was looking for. Excellent paper quality and thickness, no bleeding or ghostly shadows running through the pages. The extra pages with calendars, holidays, maps, and timetables are nice; it's perfect for students, professionals, or even just personal use. The stickers are a plus, for both flair and event planning, and the monthly calendar is a big bonus too. I've been using it for months and it's great, and even though daily planners offer more space than I need, it's nice that my planning has some room to breathe now too. Excellent quality from a company that seems pretty serious about their craftsmanship.

I've used Moleskine notebooks for a long time. This is my first planner and so far, I love it. The 18-month calendar is perfect and I love the extra pages to plan out/add future appointments into 2022. Not too bulky but also has plenty of space to write in events in the monthly calendar and also has lined pages after each month to add notes.

I’ve used these hard cover daily planners for over two years now. They are super durable. The one on the right is two years old, I’ve used it everyday at work and you can barely tell the difference between that one and the one I just bought. Best used for daily & monthly planning. They also come with stickers that can be used for tabs on important pages/dates.

Made my annual planner purchase a little earlier than usual, but with the COVID-19 pandemic, I had time.Normally, I would get one of these in the first week of June, so I could use the included stickers to tab the months and such, then copy over important dates, but I was in a good position to start early this year.The Moleskine 18 month, weekly agenda is my first choice for a planner. 18 months allow enough overlap to make transition between planners painless. The layout, seven days on the left and lined paper on the right works well for me. And, of course, all the extras, pages for long term planning, time zone, scheduling, and so forth is useful for me. The 5" x 8 1/4" fits my needs well; big enough for what needs to go in there, small enough to go in my bag without taking up an unreasonable amount of space or forcing me to get a bigger bag.E.M.

The planner has a really nice and sturdy outer cover that’s quite durable. I personally think it’s a bit overpriced but I guess that comes with the brand (as this journal on Barnes and Noble is like $24).The only thing I would improve is the way that the calendars and timetables at the beginning of the planner is ordered. It starts with Monday and ends on Sunday so it’s really easy for me to mess up Mondays and Sundays now. The timetables also only go Monday through Saturday (and though I am assuming that this is a religious thing, it would be nice if it actually had a category for Sunday as I do make Sunday plans).

I really do like this planner! The pages are thin and see through but I don’t really mind it! The lay out of the months and weeks are nice and not too small! I’ve had it for a couple months and it’s very durable! :) Also please don’t judge my Japanese hand writing!! Im learning haha!!

I bought my first Moleskin 18 month weekly planner when I found it in a bookshop in Paris, in 2016. As a pastor, I found the Monday to Sunday weekly set up helpful, even though Sunday is the first day of the week. For me, the week seems pointed toward Sunday, so the set-up fit my needs. Each week has space to plan the days and keep notes on important matters. There is ample space to schedule events for each day of the week. It is well organized.

El tamaño de la agenda la hace de lo más práctica, aunque realmente el precio no lo vale tanto. Bien podrían conseguir una en cualquier lugar con la misma calidad y de menor precio.

Old school cool. I use this rather than the calendar on my cell phone. Good for quick notes also with a sturdy writing surface. No one can hack into this.

Súper práctica y el tamaño es ideal :)

Este formato de agenda semanal + hoja para notas es perfecta para planear y agregar ideas que van surgiendo. La calidad del papel es excelente.

No hay mucho que decir, simplemente esta perfecto. Tal como viene en las imagenes.A mi esposo le encantó.
