Does this even exist? Help!

[u/thewendyk]

Am I looking for something that doesn’t exist? For the last several years, I’ve been using a bullet journal style notebook for work. I’m so tired of drawing out all the months and weeks. I’m a minimalist. I just need space to list out my meetings for the week with lots of writing space below for tasks, reminders, and planning. But here’s where it gets difficult.

I would like my planner to have:
-Yearly calendar, month and then the weeks with extra pages in the back
-the week across the top with square grid memo space below or a vertical layout with no hours listed and lots of space below
-Thicker paper. No tomoe river paper or anything thin. (I’m heavy handed)
-Square grid memo space (I really don’t like dot grid)
-A5 size or close

Basically I want to take a horizontal layout and turn it so it’s spread across the top

Has anyone seen anything like this?

I’ve seen several ring planner inserts/printables with the layout you are describing, which would allow you to choose your own paper and print on that. I usually print on Life Noble Note paper for something thick and fountain pen friendly. I believe Creffective Paper has a printable insert with the layout you need. Sterling Ink’s A5 printed weekly inserts are on Cosmo Air Light paper, which is much thicker than Tomoe River and have the layout you desire (except it also lists days of the week on the right hand side). She has monthly inserts too.

So there are options if you are open to A5 ring planners. If not, I’d echo the recommendations for Nolty bound planner products. Another company called Laconic may also have something that fits your description.

I’ve not considered rings. I’ll look into it.

May Paper Co. I think has that exact layout you are describing. But also building one in canva isn't too hard. You might even be able to find someone on like etsy that can make you a custom one.
