Looking for a weekend-heavy paper diary

8 replies

Just that really. I use my calendar and phone apps etc but also keep a paper diary. For a few years, I've used the Letts Soft Cover A5 which has a week to view and a page on the right for notes. But what I really need is one with loads of space at the weekends and less during the week. This is specifically a diary for an activity that mostly happens at the weekend with lots of different locations and addresses and start times and i'm finding it hard to cram in.

Does anyone have one they can recommend?

I have a page a day A4, as my job is Weekend heavy too and that's the best I could find.

thanks @Dartmoorcheffy It's mad that I can't find anything with more space allocated to weekend than week days. We can't be the only ones.... 😳

I want something like this too, to avoid the dreaded double-diary... I am work person in the week and the weekends are full of kid stuff so it doesn't look great to put that all in my outlook calendar where everyone can see it all (even if it's all set to private). So I'd like a "mostly weekends" planner for family things.

Maybe something custom is needed...

I found this Reddit thread with some ideas too: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlannerAddicts/comments/tyj513/doesanyoneeknowoffplannersthattgiveequal/

Could you use the notes page for the weekend?

Just draw a horizontal line half way down and write Saturday in the top half then Sunday in the bottom.

If you get a filofax or one of their copies, WH Smith do one, you can put in extra pages where you want.

Some good ideas - thank you!

I'm bumping this thread as I've just wasted nearly two hours trying to customise various 'customisable' diaries, but still haven't found a single offering that gives me a full page for each weekend day and less for the week.

Surely it exists? Surely!

How about an undated page to a day diary? You can then just use it for when you need it
