Grand Plans Day to a Page Planner Review (Keep track of work & personal in the same planner)

Finally! A day to a page planner with sections for work and personal and no pre-printed schedule. Let’s take a look at the Grand Plans Day to a Page Planner.

This post contains affiliate links. If you click one of the links and make a purchase I’ll receive a small commission (at no extra cost to you) in exchange for referring you. This is not a sponsored post, I purchased the planner myself and all opinions are my own.

Quick facts

  • Size: A5 (5.8″ wide x 8.3″ high / 14.5cm wide x 21cm high)
  • Hardcover
  • Sewn binding
  • 2 page Monthly calendar (starts on Sunday)
  • 2 page monthly planning / goal planner pages for each month
  • 1 dot grid notes page at the end of each month
  • 1 page per day (work + personal, to do list, notes)
  • Extras pages – vision board, goals, mindmap
  • 10 dot grid pages at the back of the planner
  • Neutral inside pages
  • Lasts 12 months
  • Undated

Price: $20 USD on Amazon

Let’s take a closer look!

The Cover

Not much to say – the usual hardcover in black that’s the standard for sewn bound planners and notebooks. I could only find this planner with a black cover.

Approx. 1.25″ thick (noting that it’s a 12 month, day to a page planner this isn’t that fat but the planner is still heavy).

Goals

At the front are some very basic goal pages:

  • My focus
  • Top 5 goals
  • Mind Map
  • Vision board

These pages are blank (no lines or dot grid writing space)

Monthly Dividers

Since sewn bound planners never seem to have tabs, this one has the next best thing – pages in a different color (albeit a shade of grey) to help find them easier.

Monthly Calendar

Starts Sunday however you could change this to a Monday start with some whiteout and a pen or washi tape and stickers.

The boxes for each day are just under 3cm wide x just over 3cm high

At the end of each month is 1 dot grid notes page. The 7mm dot grid is bigger than most notebooks (which are usually 5mm)

Daily Planning

Finally a day to a page planner with sections for work and personal and no schedule! You can turn these into to do lists or write in whatever times work for you.

Pros of the Planner

  • 2 pages per day
  • Sections for work and personal in the same planner is hard to find
  • Affordable
  • Lasts 12 months
  • Undated – start using anytime
  • Pocket folder
  • Tear off pages at the back
  • Line spacing and dot grid are consistent throughout the planner (both 7mm)
  • Pages lay flat on their own

Cons of the Planner

  • Paper is thin (can see the ink printed on the backside of the pages)
  • Only comes in a black cover, no other colors to choose from
  • No tabs
  • Heavy
  • Only 1 ribbon bookmark
  • Most of the goal pages are basic and have unlined writing space

Would I use this planner?

I don’t normally use day to a page planners, but if I was going to, this would be one I’d consider using as it doesn’t have a timed schedule layout. The inside pages are a bit plain but it does mean you can add plenty of color with pens and highlighters without worrying about the colors clashing with the colors of the planner. This daily planner is ideal for list makers.
