Graphique Weekly Planner Review (Pros, Cons and a video walkthrough)

I stumbled across the Graphique planner while searching for a new weekly planner to try in my favorite layout: days of the week in horizontal format on the left and lined writing space (perfect for list making) on the right.

Quick facts

  • Size: 5.5″ wide x 8″ high
  • Book / sewn binding
  • Softcover
  • This belongs to page in case your planner is lost
  • Dates at a glance
  • Neutral inside pages
  • 2 page weekly spread (starts on Monday)
  • No monthly calendar

Let’s take a closer look!

To enlarge the screen of the video, click the square icon in the bottom right hand corner of the video (it will say ‘full screen’ when you hover your mouse over the icon).

The Cover

Soft bendy cover (that feels like fabric) with gold foil dots and year.

Approx 1cm thick

This belongs to page

Holidays List

National holidays for the USA.

Monthly Calendar

This planner is very much a case of ‘just the basics’ – it doesn’t have a monthly calendar.

Weekly Planner

The weekly spread is in my favorite layout – days of the week on the left and lined notes on the right page.

The dates at a glance boxes are repeated on each weekly spread which is a bit of a waste of space (especially since there’s an annual dates at a glance page)

Saturday and Sunday share the same amount of space as a weekday.

Extras pages

There are no extra pages in this planner.

Tabs

No tabs, but there is a built in ribbon bookmark.

Pen Testing

I tried various ballpoint, gel, fine tip and marker tip pens. Almost all of them had bad ghosting or even bled through.

Pros of the Planner

  • Portable size
  • Very lightweight
  • All the stuff you need and no extra pages that you don’t
  • Affordable

Cons of the Planner

  • No tabs
  • The mini monthly calendars are a waste of space in the weekly spread
  • Saturday and Sunday share the same amount of planning space as 1 weekday
  • The paper had bad ghosting / bleed through

Would I use this planner?

Yes. My all time favorite layout is days of the week in horizontal format on the left and lined writing space (perfect for list making) on the right. I don’t tend to use a monthly calendar anymore (especially not in the traditional boxes for each day format that most planners include) so I actually think it’s a good thing that this planner leaves it out.

The paper quality is quite bad in this planner though, so I’d probably only use it for pre-planning the week. It could also work as a second planner if you need just a bit more space to plan without having to pay for and lug around another planner.

    Oh my gosh! If not for the quality of the paper, it might just be the layout I’ve been looking for!!! As always, thank you for doing the hard work or checking out all these different planners and helping the rest of us find the purrfect planner to meet our particular needs. This one might just work for me if I just use stickers and colored pencils. I’m going to see if I can find out a little more about this one. THANK YOU!
