Blue Leatherette Freestyle Organizer and Planner Dot Grid Notebook, 6'' W x 8.5'' L, 240 Pages

I purchased about 6 of these planners from office supply stores and Amazon. Excellent design. - Blank page on left with subtle grid dotty for any purpose (drawing, notes, lists). - Well spaced and non-cluttered ruled paper on the right, with simple calendar listing month and dates. - Durable and professional soft bound cover, with strong strap capable of holding between the pages firmly. - Excellent size, and number of pages is correct for daily use over 6-12 months. - 3 woven book mark tabs for tracking place. Plan to buy more in future.

I have purchased this notebook six times now for work and it is my absolute favorite. I love having a dedicated page for each work day and the hardcover makes it easy to take notes on the go. Have a To-Do list and a follow-up section has helped with keeping track of priorities on projects.

Love these planners!

I actually picked one of these up just on a whim one night at Walgreens. I'm hooked. This is the best planner layout. Actually, it's the only layout that's ever made sense to me! I can plan multiple days in advance if I want, which works well for migrating tasks I need to move further down the week. It's easy to browse backwards in time to find a note or a task, too. I hope these keep being manufactured. Seeing few cover options makes me a little nervous. I really don't know what I'd do without them! I'd have to start making my own layout I suppose 😔 Please keep them in production!

A little over a year ago I purchased an identical C.R. Gibson planner journal from a different retailer and I really liked it. The covers were sturdy and the build quality seemed very good. I ran out of pages and ordered this new one from Amazon, only to take it out of the packaging and notice it seemed much more flimsy than my old one. The covers are now thinner and bend a lot easier, and the lining inside the cover appears to not be glued on as well. C.R. Gibson must have switched manufacturers, because I noticed my old planner was made in Vietnam while this new one was made in China. I'm not making any judgements on either country's ability to manufacture quality products, but I can say that it's clear that the product quality has decreased with the change in manufacturer. I still like the journal's layout and how it makes it really easy to plan your day out. I love the to-do list section as well as the flexible date section. The gridded freestyle plage also is great for jotting down quick notes while in meetings, on phone calls, etc. The journal itself also has a clean and professional look to it, so it's perfect to have at the office. I haven't found a planner that works better for me than this one, so I do hope C.R. Gibson figures out these issues of lower quality.

I bought this booklet for its to-do list format. That's not true. I bought this because it is the same company that produced my 1954 baby book. In 2025, the quality has not waned. I will use this every single day and I am assured it will help; keep me organized.

I use this daily

It’s small and convenient. I can carry it in my laptop bag and it’s not bulky. There are markers to bookmark my pages.
