Amazon Basics Undated Daily Planner and Journal for 6 Months Coverage - Soft Cover, 21.6 x 28 cm, Black

This is a daily planner that represents incredible value for money, compared with more expensive brands like Moleskine and Leuchtturm 1917. It doesn't cover a year, as they do: it covers just 6 months, but so many people I know plan quarterly rather than annually these days that that might not matter to you in the slightest. Also, if you've bought an 18-month diary one year, this is perfect to cover the remaining 6 months of the year. There's a good quality hard cover, which closes with an elasticated band, like the more expensive brands. This planner also comes with no less than 3 ribbons to mark your place - more than either Moleskine or Leuchtturm 1917. It is undated so you can use it at any time you like. Inside there is the usual "Personal Information" page to complete, and then a couple of pages of address/telephone number contact details. It would be nice if there were another couple of pages, I think. Then we move into the monthly planner. On that double page spread, there are also spaces for This Month's Goal, and an End of Month Review - just note form on your achievements and lessons learned. After 6 x double-page spreads for the monthly goals, there are weekly planning pages (as you'd expect, 26 double-page spreads). These begin with notes reviewing last week's progress with achievements and ways to improve, before looking at this week's priorities, habits to learn and notes on one side, and spaces on the right side for 4 goals, broken down into manageable steps, and some notes on projects at the bottom of the page. After all the weekly pages, we move onto daily pages. These are single pages giving a goal for the day, 4 priorities and a space called "schedule" which looks ideal for time-blocking or simply inserting what the fixed appointment times are for each day. Finally, there's an end-of-day review, very small - just your achievements and ways to improve. At the very end of the planner, there are 3 lined pages left for any notes you could not fit in elsewhere. Inside the back cover there is a good quality "envelope" where receipts can be tucked (but no stickers, if that matters to you). The price of this planner varies. In 2025 and 2026, I have seen it vary between £2.21 and £7.50 approximately, although if you use Subscribe & Save and order a new one every 6 months, you can save even more. If you're on a tight budget, it is probably worth keeping your eyes peeled to catch these variations. Surely this product must be a loss leader for Amazon? Now to the only small downside, for me, which is that this isn't the most beautiful of planners. The three ribbons are different lengths and at some point I know that will irritate me so I'll have to trim them to the same length. The planner inside the covers is plenty good enough for my purposes and the paper seems to me to be of good quality, although I have not written on it in fountain pen so I can't say if it might bleed through or be unduly porous. The outside is sturdy, but only available in black and very plain and simple. For some people that is exactly what they want, while others will probably feel the need to decorate it with stickers and something eye-catching and personal so that they recognise it instantly. For me, this is an excellent addition to the Amazon Basics range. Many of us will think this is perfectly adequate for our planning needs. I would certainly recommend anyone reading this to take a serious look at this planner before you choose anything more expensive with a big brand name.

This daily planner is perfect—its size fits nicely in my bag, and it’s very easy to write in. The paper is top quality, smooth, and doesn’t bleed, making writing a pleasure. The layout is well-designed with plenty of sections to plan my day and keep a journal. Functional, high-quality, and thoughtfully organized—definitely five stars!

Likes *lightweight *Decent Quality *Price *page per day *great monthly/weekly/daily goal breakdown Dislikes* *A few more pages to make notes at the back *a little bit more space devoted to schedule *starting the monthly organiser on a monday instead of sunday Note: Planners are highly individualised. What suits one person might not suit another. You can see from my pictures above the general layout of the diary. Its monotone and rigid in its structure. Personally this is what I like. If you are like me and only getting started with blank planners like this. I would highly recommend getting this one before splashing out on a fancy one which you might use for a week or two and toss aside. Its cheap, covers all the basics and is good quality.

This is a six-month undated planner. It contains monthly grids with room for notes and goals, weekly review pages with plenty of sections to fill in. The bulk of the planner is taken up with the daily pages which contain sections for goals, priorities, a schedule and an end of day review section. I really love the layout of the planner although I would have preferred some of the boxes to be left blank so we could customise them (for example, I am using the end of day review section for meal planning). This is a perfect planner for anyone who wants to be able to fit all their planning needs in one book instead of using an appointments diary plus a goal planner etc. I think the quality of the paper and binding is fine. It is not up to the standard of a brand like Leuchtturm1917 but it is considerably cheaper. I am using the book with gel pens and not having a problem with bleed through.

Ok for the price but pens show through due to thin paper. I like the layout though

I bought the smaller planner as a desktop book. I don't tend to use the different monthly /weekly /daily sections in other planners but this is actually helpful. You have 3x bookmarks to mark each section if you so wish. I have had a LOT of planner journals, but nothing was really hitting the spot with what I needed. I wfh a lot and the daily layout helps me be accountable for the working day. Got a monthly overview of appts/deadline, helpful sub sections to make notes. I'm glad it's undated so you have flexibility and can use it as and when you need it. Theres so many dated planners out there. Minimal bleed through with pens (will prob see shadowing depending on your pen type). Using this to prioritize my work at the outset or end of the day for the following day and this helps keeps my focus and would highly recommend and buy again.

So, I am glad I have this. I have ordered more than once. I am very disorganised and struggle to plan ahead and remember what to do. This has helped me massively. It’s really well made, the quality and design. It helps monthly, weekly and daily.

Nice planner/diary. Blank fir you to write dates in. Only does for 6 months so need to buy 2 for the year.
