TEDi Online Creative Diary Weekly Planner Review (planner from Germany!)

While in Frankfurt, I found a planner for only 3 euro!! In a random cheap shop near the main train station. So is a 3 euro planner actually any good? Let’s have a look!

Related: My 2nd Europe Stationery Haul!

Quick facts

  • Size: Approx 5.5″ wide x 8.25″ high
  • Cardstock cover
  • Glue bound
  • 18 month dated planner
  • Dates at a glance page
  • 2 page weekly spread (starts on Monday)
  • Student pages – timetable, exam schedule, marks tracker
  • Extra pages – birthdays & anniversaries
  • No Tabs
  • Neutral or colorful inside pages

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

For 3 euro, the cover is not surprisingly made of thin cardstock. At least the edges are rounded to prevent wear and tear.

Approx 0.5″ thick

At the front of the planner is a dates at a glance, student timetable, exam schedule and subject marks. All of these would be less than 10 pages and are the only student focused pages in the planner – so if you’re not in school anymore you could still use it.

Dates at a glance

Extras pages

I think the pages could be adapted for other uses too E.g. this one could be used as a bill tracker, habit tracker etc.

There’s also a birthdays and anniversaries page at the back of the planner.

Monthly Calendar

There is no calendar in this planner – only weekly spreads.

Weekly Planning

There are a few different styles of weekly spreads in this planner with the format being 1 page horizontal format days of the week with dot grid note pages (my favorite weekly planning layout!)

When the month ends midweek, so does the week i.e. 1 week may have 2 pages. You could use the space for a monthly review.

Pen Testing

Since this planner cost 3 euro I wasn’t expecting much from the paper. Predictably, there was heavy ghosting for all the pens, marker pens, highlighters and stamps.

Pros of the Planner

  • Portable size
  • Cheap!
  • Different weekly planner style
  • Black and white theme – add as much color as you want

Cons of the Planner

  • The pages don’t want to lay flat on their own (have to hold them open with one hand or really bend the spine to get them to lay flat)
  • Hard to find – I only found it in 1 shop in Frankfurt
  • Thin, cardstock cover
  • Paper is thin and prone to ghosting & bleed through
  • No monthly calendar
  • No notes pages
  • No tabs

Would I use this planner?

Undecided. I like the weekly spread… but it’s sewn bound and the pages don’t lay flat on their own. The paper is also very thin. I think if you want a planner in this format there are plenty of others to choose from. But on the other hand, it was only 3 euro!

    I really enjoy your posts. I have not been getting them via email for the last couple of weeks. I miss that. Has something changed?
