Prettysweeeet Weekly Planner Review (Vertical Hourly Layout)

Vertical hourly planners rarely come in a sewn bound format, let alone in a compact page size – the Prettysweeeet weekly planner is one of very few so let’s take a look!

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: 6″ wide x 8.25″ high
  • Hardcover
  • Sewn binding
  • Dates at a glance page
  • 2 page Monthly calendar (starts on Sunday)
  • 2 page vertical hourly weekly spread (starts on Sunday)
  • Monthly planning (meal planning, workout planner, financial planner and monthly summary / review)
  • Plenty of goal planning pages
  • No tabs
  • Neutral inside pages

I found this planner on Amazon however Amazon says it’s currently unavailable.

Go through the planner with me:

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

The cover is the same faux leather cover that most sewn bound notebooks have.

Just under 1″ thick

How to use the planner

At the front of the planner are instructions for using the pages in the planner and a helpful contents page.

Prettysweeeet Planner review undated vertical hourly weekly planner goals monthly meals workout finances summary lined notes graph calendar stickers_03

Goal Planning

There aren’t many goal planning overview pages at the start of this planner and those that are included are too small to write more than a few words in each section.

Prettysweeeet Planner review undated vertical hourly weekly planner goals monthly meals workout finances summary lined notes graph calendar stickers_04

There’s a mix of prompter questions and then you can write your goals in the 9 pre-filled categories. It would be better if the right page was split into 4 pages to give more room to write.

Prettysweeeet Planner review undated vertical hourly weekly planner goals monthly meals workout finances summary lined notes graph calendar stickers_05

After you choose your goals you can prioritise which ones are short term and long term

Prettysweeeet Planner review undated vertical hourly weekly planner goals monthly meals workout finances summary lined notes graph calendar stickers_06

And then create your action plan

Prettysweeeet Planner review undated vertical hourly weekly planner goals monthly meals workout finances summary lined notes graph calendar stickers_07

There are only 3 pages to write your action plans for each goal which is nowhere near enough. I tend to use 3 – 5 pages per goal (and with a larger page size – usually Happy Planner classic size).

Prettysweeeet Planner review undated vertical hourly weekly planner goals monthly meals workout finances summary lined notes graph calendar stickers_09

After the goal pages is the first monthly section.

Monthly Planning

There are no tabs but there are black edges for each month.

Prettysweeeet Planner review undated vertical hourly weekly planner goals monthly meals workout finances summary lined notes graph calendar stickers_15

Each month has:

  • Monthly divider page – blank so you can do whatever you like such as add photos printed with your Poooliprint or write your favorite quotes
  • 2 Page Monthly calendar (Sunday start)
  • 2 page weekly planning (Monday start) x 5
  • 2 Page monthly meal planner (Sunday start)
  • 1 page monthly workout planner
  • 1 page monthly financial overview
  • 3 Page Monthly summary questions

As this planner is undated you can start planning anytime.

Prettysweeeet Planner review undated vertical hourly weekly planner goals monthly meals workout finances summary lined notes graph calendar stickers_10

The boxes for each day are 3.5″ wide x 2.5″ high.

There are 6 rows on the calendar so there’s no need to do split boxes

There are different motivational / words of wisdom quotes for each month

At the back of each month are summary questions before the next month starts.

Weekly Planning

The weekly planner starts on Sunday which is consistent with the monthly calendar.

Prettysweeeet Planner review undated vertical hourly weekly planner goals monthly meals workout finances summary lined notes graph calendar stickers_11

The schedule runs from 6am to midnight which should suit everyone’s schedule. If there are timeslots you know you won’t use your could whiteout the numbers and add checkboxes for daily focus as the ‘focus of the day’ section isn’t going to fit more than 2 – 3 words.

Prettysweeeet Planner review undated vertical hourly weekly planner goals monthly meals workout finances summary lined notes graph calendar stickers_12

Prettysweeeet Planner review undated vertical hourly weekly planner goals monthly meals workout finances summary lined notes graph calendar stickers_13

Unlike some vertical hourly planners (especially of this page size), this one doesn’t condense Saturday and Sunday into one column – each day has an equal planning space.

Extras pages

At the back is:

  • Bill checklist
  • 4 Page end of year review
  • 4 types of notes pages – blank, lined, graph and timetable

I like this bill checklist page but lines between the columns and rows to keep your handwriting straight would make it even better.

Finally! A planner that includes a structured end of year summary

5 blank notes pages

4 lined pages

Prettysweeeet Planner review undated vertical hourly weekly planner goals monthly meals workout finances summary lined notes graph calendar stickers_32

2 grid notes pages

Prettysweeeet Planner review undated vertical hourly weekly planner goals monthly meals workout finances summary lined notes graph calendar stickers_33

The creator suggests using this page for your timetable but I’d use this for graphs e.g. tracking savings or blog subscribers growth.

There are 4 of these pages.

Prettysweeeet Planner review undated vertical hourly weekly planner goals monthly meals workout finances summary lined notes graph calendar stickers_35

There are dated calendars at the back of the planner however the rest of the pages are undated.

Prettysweeeet Planner review undated vertical hourly weekly planner goals monthly meals workout finances summary lined notes graph calendar stickers_37

There are 2 sheets of functional icons and phrases stickers in the pocket folder.

Pros of the Planner

  • Long daily schedule from 6am to midnight
  • Undated – start planning anytime
  • Comes with 2 sheets of functional planner stickers
  • Pretty cover (as pretty as a black cover can get!)
  • Plenty of monthly planning pages (which most planners don’t include)
  • Pocket folder
  • 2 Ribbon bookmarks
  • Notes pages in 4 formats – blank, lined, graph and timetable
  • Detailed review pages – monthly and end of year
  • White pages

Cons of the Planner

  • No traditional tabs (that stick out), but at least the pages are marked
  • Difficult to find (could only find it on Amazon)
  • Not all pages lay flat on their own
  • Unlined writing space throughout the planner

Would I use this planner?

No. I don’t use vertical weekly planners, nor do I plan by the hour. I like all of the extra pages so if there was a horizontal weekly or dashboard weekly layout I’d try it. Lined or dot grid writing space would be better to, instead of blank writing space.

    This could be ideal for my needs–I normally don’t use planners with hours, but I do like having three sections per day for household, work, and medical (the last primarily symptom tracking due to multiple chronic illnesses). Household gets the day’s chores and doctors’ appointments, plus the dinner plan (I normally eat last night’s leftovers for lunch and skip breakfast, so one line is all that’s needed there) and any evening plan. “Work” is for my creative projects; it’s more of a side-income hobby to keep myself from going stir-crazy on disability, but generally involves digital scrapbooking and font design, with some drawing and painting thrown in. Medical gets a habit tracker for meds and basic ADLs (activities of daily living–showers, exercise, cooking), sleep tracking, a line on the day’s weather/temp, and then space dedicated to symptoms and severity (i.e. low back pain/7).
