Wykeham's Executive 2026 Daily Journal Planner – Customization Available (Black, 8.5"×5.5")The Forest Stewardship Council

Have bought one of these the past few years. It leaves plenty of space for appointments and notes, plus remembering anniversaries and birthdays. I use it for my work, but it doubles for personal use perfectly. A must-have for those who want to be organized. Very high quality.

This was pretty pricey, but due to the pictures and detail (Specifically per day), I bit the bullet.Things I love:• I can write out daily activities for each day. They have the full calendars in the beginning of the book, a small view and a per-page view of each month. This is the best view for me. I highlighted the dates I get paid on the small calendars. I starred the holidays off on that page. Then, I'm able to use each page fully to write all of the things I need to do. It's no fluff in the middle, full of 'fun' notes and calendars. The index in this journal makes SENSE.• The build is amazing. Nice pages. Nice hardback cover. It looks and feels amazing. It holds up very well and I haven't had any issues with any rips or tears.• It’s just amazing. If you never felt like an executive with a full-blown schedule before, you will now.I honestly will continue to buy these for each year. The only reason I would stop, was if the quality went down or they made drastic changes to this product, in the terms of the setup of the index. This was exactly what I needed in a daily planner.I wish I found this planner earlier. Solid quality for a solid price!

This little journal has become a very nice addition to my routine. The quality is very good, I love the feel of the binding and the paper is smooth for my pen. I do feel like the size and thickness combination sometimes makes it awkward to write on when you get to the bottom of the page. I also love the look, it's quite classy!

This calendar is packaged beautifully. The pride of the makers is quickly evident. The book is well made, with a sturdy, well bound cover. I very much like that the pages flatten for easier writing. My preference would be that the monthly calendars be in front of the page months, but I’m glad to have them. More narrow writing lines would also be my preference, but I can write two lines in one. I like the elastic band to hold the book together, the thickness of the paper, the ribbon placeholder, the rich feel of the cover. I wish I could have these folks make a custom calendar for me, but until that happens, I will be perfectly happy with the product they have made!

To begin with; I absolutely love technology, and would consider myself a tech enthusiast, but in my personal opinion, absolutely NOTHING, beats having a good ol' physical agenda/planner.This Planner/Agenda/Daily Dairy/Daily Journal -WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT! -is hands down, THE BEST one I've ever used.There are so many planners that come in different shapes and sizes, but i find that most planners allocate the wrong amount of page space per day, or dedicate too much page space to an unnecessary things like a TINY calendar on every single page. Being the tech enthusiast I am and always being surrounded by technology, I find it is SO EASY to pull up a calendar, I'm always around a laptop with windows, all you do is click the date/time at the bottom right corner (on the taskbar), and Boom! instant and easy to access calendar. I (personally) don't need a mini calendar on every page! Give me a full size calendar for each month, and call it a day. Some planners give weekends an ENTIRE full size block to match the same size as Mon-Fri, which may work for a certain crowd, but not for myself working the typical "Monday to Friday" work schedule. Full size weekend blocks don't sound like an issue, and could sell to a wider audience who do indeed work weekends, but when the planner "designer" (not sure what the title is) decides to squeeze 3 or more days to a page smaller than a common ipad mini, it becomes UNBEARABLE. To combat some of those woes, I've even gotten desperate enough for more page space, where I have purchased JUMBO sized planners, Sure those will brute force the need for more paper, but they are uncomfortable to toss in a laptop bag, and even just carry around. Those Jumbo planners usually STILL suffer the problem of not having enough vertical space in between the days (the designers are still trying to squeeze too many days to one page!).MEANWHILE THIS WYKEHAM'S PLANNER/AGENDA/DAILY DIARY/DAILY JOURNAL -dedicates an ENTIRE page to each and every single day! This allows for so much flexibility, want to make a checklist one day? Done. Need to track only a handful of items but a lot of notes? Done. Want to just use this as a journal or diary? Done. Need to track goals or plans for each individual month? Done. Want to track your financial expenses or I.O.U.'s for whatever reason??? Uhhh, Done....surprisingly!Each page is dated and indicates the day of the week, simple, easy, and back to the basics. I find my days; whether working or at home, to consist of many short tasks, and that's where having this ENTIRE page per day shines! The 2023 year has JUST begun and I am so grateful to have enough space to create task lists AND have enough space to add details, descriptions or notes in regards to those tasks. Since EVEN WEEKENDS have their own full pages, I have started using this planner for at home use (weekend workers rejoice!).Every other brand that I have come across has their own different method of tackling the concept of the "daily planner", like having "undated" pages so they can be picked up and used any time of the year (don't have to start from January if you buy it in March for example). Or maybe having individual pages, but with a bunch of premade templates for checklists and such. Those are great features, but I like for my planner to have just simple requirements; "Month and Day" dated pages, lines for guiding my "chicken-scratch" handwriting, and lastly an indication of what day of the week it is. I can create my own checklist if need be, instead of the planner designer having premade wasted space, if I don't end up using the checklists for certain day, and maybe that day I just need to just capture lots and lots of notes.This Wykeham's handles the "daily planner" concept the BEST, hands down. This may sound like a paid advertisement or something, but seeing the lack of money in my pockets, I can assure you, I have not made a dime on this review! I am just VERY passionate about physical "hard copy" planners. I have tried so many options from many big box stores and lately Amazon, I guess in a way I guess I am a "Planner Enthusiast". I have seen in my own life the immense value brought by organizing my days, and keeping track of items/tasks that I need to complete, both at home and work. And all of this comes at a very cozy (roughly) 9x5x1 size (I rounded the numbers a bit).Of course, no product is perfect! My biggest criticism (which MIGHT be a selling feature for someone else!) Is that the entire yearly calendar (all 12 months) is bunched up at the front of the planner. For clarity; I prefer to have "the usual" big "two page" full calendar to live in between each month's worth of days. You will find in a majority of planners; that you will see a new Monthly calendar, as you flip past the last day of a particular month, but I digress. As I might have established with my review, finding the right planner for YOUR needs, can take quite some time, and there's been years where I said: "I already spent the money, I will just make it work". This planner might not be perfect for everyone, but I think it's pretty dang great for a MAJORITY of folks. For myself? It is 99.99% there. Safe to say, Wykeman's has earned a lifetime customer with me!

Second year I've bought this journal and I love them. Very high quality and looks sleek. I use the black one as a planner that I take everywhere, so it is great.

I ordered the Wykeham’s 2023 Executive Daily Journal and am just about through a year of daily use and have nothing but good things to say about this classic and simple style. For myself, personally, this is the size I prefer. The layouts in this Journal have the very pleasing combination of being both structured and flexible. I used the top half of the page for planning and the bottom half for notes about the day. It has held up beautifully and will take it’s place of honor on my bookshelf at the year’s end for future reference. I fully intended to reorder for 2024 but I was very excited to discover Wykeham’s new offerings this year of The Productive Journal and The Resourceful Journal and thought why not kick my planning up a notch in 2024? Much Thanks, Wykeham’s, keep up the good work and I’ll see you next year!

Good product
