2027 Daily Planner: Grand Shell

This is my 6th year purchasing the Original Daily planner and I am just as in love with it as I was the first year I used it! These planners are beautiful, functional, and a joy to use. This year I went with the Navy Bookcloth cover and am very happy with it! I've found the Bookcloth covers to be especially durable, which is great given that I take my planner back and forth between work and home and so can definitely put it through its paces in terms of durability! I do think the navy color in the website picture is slightly darker/deeper/more saturated than it appears in real life (which I find to be more similar to a true denim blue - not a light denim, but also not the deepest blue denim you can find). I really like the tone of blue and find it to be a soothing and sophisticated color. I tried to get my picture to show a more true-to-real-life example of the blue. I'm thrilled with my purchase and will continue to buy this planner for as long as they keep selling it - which is hopefully forever!

As you can see from this pic, I am a long time user of Day Designer and can vouch for its awesomeness. In the moments where I feel the most chaotic, my Day Designer is there to help me get my life back together. As an ADHD girly, I personally find it extremely helpful at remembering deadlines and tasks exists and knowing that there is a structure I can use to sort my brain dumps. And, they're just beautiful! Highly recommend Day Designer!

I have used Day Designer planners for several years due to the hourly time slots, 3 important to-do list area, and the large area to make notes of other daily notes and to-do items. I’m not a big fan of the hard cover. My pages crinkle by the coil and paper being thin has started to pull and almost rip. I really like the planner overall, and love the choices for cover design, would like to see thicker paper or reinforced paper by the coil.

i’ve been using day designer for blue sky for years but decided to make the upgrade to the flagship. so glad that i did. i went back and forth between original

and mini and ultimately went with the original and im so glad that i did. i carry it around with me but i have a larger purse so it fits fine. pen for scale because i couldn’t tell the size from pictures. added blue sky day designer in picture so you can see how the size compares to the target one.

I’m really happy with this planner. It’s beautiful without being distracting, and the layout is practical enough to actually use every day. The pages are well thought out, there’s plenty of space to write, and it strikes a great balance between structure and flexibility.
