I have been purchasing this Moleskine Planner every year for as long as I can remember because it was the perfect combination of a planner and journal. Imagine my surprise upon receiving the 2016 planner to find it suddenly cluttering my pages with a language I do not even speak. Nowhere in the product description did it mention Moleskine's change to a bilingual edition (i.e. English/French), which negatively impacts valuable page space in the planning sections.While I fully support their attempt to diversify their product, I feel it was done very ineffectively, damaging overall quality of the product. If we are going to be forced to sacrifice already limited page space on the calendar pages, at a minimum it should be disclosed in the product description page and we should be provided an option of language edition (e.g. Spanish, French, Italian, etc.). I could have at least read a Spanish edition.It's the little details like this which can completely change the feel of the product and as a longtime Moleskine fan, I'm disappointed to say the least. I hope Moleskine will make more of an effort this year to get feedback from those of us who use their products regularly to ensure we want to keep using them. For me, that means an single language edition (e.g. English) which doesn't compromise page space or the product.
The size makes it big enough so you don't have to squint your eyes, but small enough to fit in a purse.The soft cover just feels so smooth and nice and the quality of the whole item means it will last you a lot longer than a year.Also it's plain, classic, and beautiful in an understated, quiet kind of way.The mix of half a page with allotted space for the dates of each week and half a page dedicated to additional notes, doodles, rants, quotes, thoughts, or whatever you might put in a journal (but instead it's in the planner) is perfect for someone who cannot deal with just one-month-in-one-page layouts.I formerly opted for cheaper, generic planners but I tried moleskine out, and although it's a bit pricey, it's worth every penny. This is my 3rd moleskine planner.So dear moleskine, please never stop making this quality weekly notebook, because I don't know where else to find it. Please and thank you.P.S. This year's diary/planner also includes the year's worth of one-month-one-page layout! An added perk :)
This is my go-to yearly planner, but there are a couple of changes made with this 2016 edition that I wish they didn't. Or at the very least, the changes should be noted in the description.1) This is a bilingual edition. Almost every single word is in both English and French. This change includes the tiny stickers. This may be useful for people who want a bilingual French/English edition, but I found it distracting. It took up valuable space in a compact planner. Also, Moleskine has a minimalist look; having 2 words for every single one word cuts into that image.2) The yearly calendar that is at the beginning of the planner is NO longer in a vertical column format. Instead it is in a regular calendar box format. I liked the sleek look of the vertical column format better.Otherwise this is the same Moleskine that I love and have been using for last few years.
Bought this at Staples yesterday and I started filling it out.Apart from the first page, this notebook had really thin pages. This is readily noticeable as you turn each page--Moleskine's own printing toner is ghosting through the back!The pages are smooth, which is great, except my pen's ink isn't drying up quickly enough. So either my hand starts stamping the ink it picked up onto pages, or I smudge each page. Otherwise, I have to hold my pen uncomfortably and unnaturally for it not to do that. But wait, I can't close the notebook until about 15 minutes after because it will still smudge the ink and bleed it onto the next page!I should note that the one thick page--the "if found, please return to..." page--doesn't have the bleeding ink or ghosting problem.Now, I have the Professional Moleskine project notebook and I compared the pages. I see that the pages are visibly thicker on the professional Moleskine, and I use the same pen on that notebook comfortably without running into the pen ink problems. Clearly, they switched the paper for some cheap s**t. That's unacceptable for a $22.50 notebook.Other than that, I like the ideas on the pages they've included: Trip planner, measurement conversion tables, vital information, stickers, lined writing spaces next to reach day of the week, a monthly calendar, events calendar, week numbers, extra lined pages at the back, etc. I hope the 2017 edition uses the regular Moleskine paper. Otherwise I won't buy it and I will have to go find me another weekly planner notebook system.
I absolutely love the texture and utilitarian feel of this notebook. It has just the right weight to not overwhelm my messenger bag but is large enough to write notes and jot down more than a few lines for each day's events and appointments. The little stickers are a fun activity that lets me be a kid for a while placing the little birthday cakes and logos on important dates to remember. The elastic strap holds it all closed and I've found they use an elastic that survives with stretch for the entire year before giving out.
