The Cover

The usual hardcover that sewn notebooks have.

The color reminds me of denim but feels like textured fabric (hard to explain!)

Approx 0.75″ thick

Monthly Calendar

Week starts on Monday which is consistent with the weekly spread.

The boxes are different to the usual 2 page monthly layout but there is a lot of dead space on the page.

As you can see, it’s undated so you can start planning anytime.

The grey shaded boxes are dot grid.

Weekly Planner

Very different to most planners is a pre-plan and weekly reflection spread. There also a small list (although I think it’s to narrow to be of much use)

The pre-plan questions:

Weekly Goals
Steps I will take this week to achieve my goals
Quote of the week

The review questions are:

What did I do to make this week great
What did I do this week to develop the skills, habits and knowledge I desire
What was the biggest lesson I learn this week

Starts on Monday (consistent with the monthly calendar).

Weekdays have an hourly (although you could make it half-hourly by writing on each line) column starting at 7am, ending at 6pm.

Saturday and Sunday have lined writing space only (no hourly schedule).

Extras pages

Tabs

As is the case with sewn bound notebooks, there are no tabs. There are 3 ribbon bookmarks though.

Cons of the Zeito Productivity Planner

Comes in only grey, light blue or navy blue covers
The dot grid is diagonal and very close together, not the usual 5mm dot grid most notebooks have
There’s nothing really productivity focused
No monthly planning pages
No monthly reflection
No tabs
Pages at the back for meditation? Notes pages would be more useful
Weekly goals section is too small

Would I use this planner?

No, this planner may suit some but it’s not a good fit for me. I think the planner would be suited to a full-time student or someone juggling work and study (e.g. studying for their CPA).

The diagonal dot grid arrangement instead of a square dot grid and the dots being far too close together is weird – it may as well be unlined.
There’s not a lot that’s productivity focused about the planner, there’s no monthly planning (although there are those weird monthly meditation pages).
The proportions for each section are not quite right. The monthly goals section is tiny, there’s no real space to keep a master list to break down what you’re going to do before scheduling it into the weekly.
Definitely recommend erasable pens if you’re going to use this planner.
It had the potential to be a good planner but it didn’t quite get there.
