Love how these are laid out. Helps me prioritize and schedule everything that needs to get done for the day.

Customer photo review of A5 Binder Cover

I appreciate how I can organize and rearrange things in my new planner ! I have been through so many notebooks where I lose track of my goals, have completely disorganized notes on various subjects, one page would have a poem and a grocery list and the next page would be a drawing and an important memo that I’d eventually lose. This planner solves my problem in that it allows me organize my poetry, my plans, drawings, to do list, and self notes all in their own sections that are as thick or thin as I want them to be. I love that you can refill your pages as well and never throw away the nice cover. 10/10.

A beautiful agenda which is perfect for fulfilling my work needs. Love love love it!!!

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

I really love the cover/case for the planner, it’s super soft and sleek looking and very minimal which is a fav for me. The pages are soft so I was worried how they’d be for writing but they’re great and ink doesn’t bleed through! The to do list sheets being double sided is so nice and I really love the memo box at the end of each week on the full month pages. Only thing I wish is that months weren’t all back to back page. I would have liked to put the pages for weeks in between each month

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

The texture is a little rubbery but not a deal breaker. I love the size and how I can customise its layout with the insert packs! So far so good!

Modular Planner System

Customer video review of Modular Planner System

I love my planner, only thing is I wish the rings were a little bit bigger to allow flipping easier. Otherwise, it's great!

Husband loved it and loved how he can personalize it to fit how he wants to plan and organize and it fits in his work portfolio!

I love this planer and have been looking for one for some time. It is extremely practical and fits in every bag. The fact that I can always fill it with what I want and need is very very nice. Great product

I have spent lots of money and many different planners/journals looking for the right fit. I found in this one. This is actually my second one and I use both daily. Love it!

Customer video review of Modular Planner System

Love this planner. No more empty pre-printed pages for days you don’t use! Love the removable pages too so I can keep important info in the back without re-copying it year after year. Thank you!

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

For years I buy planners and then that day happens and u miss a day and then the next and u left with a big empty book, I chose this set up as I can build it for one month (u can’t fit the full year in it easily) so I work month then in to 4 weeks and days then I’m forced to start a new month replace the rest that’s history it’s gone onto the new month keep things simpler - less is more

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

It is not truly modular in my view if the back of a monthly is another monthly spread. I want it to be a blank page so that I can add the weekly behind each month.

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

Loving my A5 Binder and Planner Inserts!!! I will never buy another dated planner ever again!! I’m buying another Binder in Sage! Thanks Minimal Desk Setups team!!!

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

This planner is absolutely wonderful! It is clearly made with quality materials, and I love the size and compactness of it. The only downfall is that the pencil holder is loosely attached, and within one day of owning the planner, it is already starting to come off.

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

I love a sage green moment, but when this arrived I was instantly in love, the soft leather mixed with the worn look. literally beautiful :) 100% recommend

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

The A5 planner system has been a game changer. The inserts are super easy to set up and customizable to whatever I need.

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

I love this planner! I've been looking for a flexible layout like this where I can dispose of pages for about 5 years! I'd resorted to making my own. The Planner and paper quality is good, it's nice having some natural neutral colours on my desk when I'm at work. I can add whatever I need which suits my ADHD. Thanks very much!

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

I like it. I like how it gives one side to do appts and the other to make notes on. I didn’t give it 5 stars just because there is something on the weekly calendar that is missing. Maybe having the weekends on the note side would make it better making feel more roomy.

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

The layout is great. Plenty of room to right and stay organized.

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

I really like the layout of this calendar. It gives a memo section each week to add any note. Helps to stay organized and keep a reminder

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

The binder is I have been using it for about a week now. Look clean, very easy to organize. The only things things that I don’t like is that the pen holder seems a little flimsy and wish the binding rings were just a little larger. Overall, I like it so far!

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

The paper is of really good quality, and I like the layout etc. The thing I don't like is that it feels back to front - I would prefer to write on the right and side or even both sides but all of the inserts seem backwards to me. When the binder is open, the notes section is always on the right, and so to fill the pages in I need to take them out of the binder since being right-handed means the binder itself gets in the way when writing. This is person preference, though, and I think it would be excellent for someone who was left-handed!

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

The binder feels like it is of really good quality. The material is soft, and after a couple of weeks of use and being in and out of my bag, it isn't tattered or scuffed. I also like that it has a the loop for a pen so that doesn't get lost. One downside for me is that the rings are quite small so it doesn't fit a lot of pages at once - but this could also be a pro in that it is compact and not clunky

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

A very nice A5-size planner binder. The material is really nice, and I like the unique green color that I chose. I like the slots in the inside back cover that I use for extra business cards.

My journal is open in front of me all of the time. I am sure that it will be perfect when I am travelling. It has places for my travel documents together with my written notes and cards.

Just what I needed to plan quick tasks that I normally forget.

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

I have tried so many planners and absolutely love this one. I used to not like planners with a ring binder but this one is such a great size that the rings don’t bother me. I find myself using it more than my other planners because the inserts make it feel functional and not so precious or stressful due to the undated design. Love it!

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

Undated Monthly A5 format is great. I appreciate the extra space to the side for undated notes.

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

Is a great binder for holding all the inserts. The pen loop works with my pens that I have in my collection

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

Great weeks setup, A5 has plenty of space for all the tasks I have. Works great with any pen I throw at it, including fountain pens

Modular Planner System

Customer photo review of Modular Planner System

I love this new planner. Premade planners have never worked for me but this offers a more minimalist design and you can utilize the blank pages hover you want. I am looking forward to hopefully being able to buy inserts on their own soon because I have ideas on how to utilize some of the inserts I skipped on my first order.

Store owner replied: Hi Mike, thanks so much for your support. It's also really cool to see how you're using the blank memo pages for reflection. Keep up the great work! Refills can now be purchased seperately by the way :) you can find them in our navigation menu > Modular Planner > Refills
