Requirements for a paper based planner

Before starting to look at the different options, I made a small list of requirements for my new planner.

  • Must fit in my pocket anytime
    So it must have a small size (about A6-size) and it must be thin.
  • Week in one overview
    I don’t have a lot of appointments, so I don’t need a lot of space for them. Preferably there’s also no timescale to the day, let me decide myself upon my working schedules please.
  • Ample space for notes
    I do have a lot of thoughts and things to do, so I need a lot of space for them.
  • Simple and no clutter
    I don’t need inspirational quotes, pictures and other clutter. I need a simple system as one of the ZTD habits prescribes.
  • Not expensive
    I prefer not to spend a lot of money on it. The PDA was expensive, but it had navigation on it too )

So the best solution is small, simple and cheap.
