Wykeham's Executive 2026 Daily Journal Planner – US Public Holidays & Format – Customization Available (Black, 8.5"×5.5")

This was pretty pricey, but due to the pictures and detail (Specifically per day), I bit the bullet. Things I love: • I can write out daily activities for each day. They have the full calendars in the beginning of the book, a small view and a per-page view of each month. This is the best view for me. I highlighted the dates I get paid on the small calendars. I starred the holidays off on that page. Then, I'm able to use each page fully to write all of the things I need to do. It's no fluff in the middle, full of 'fun' notes and calendars. The index in this journal makes SENSE. • The build is amazing. Nice pages. Nice hardback cover. It looks and feels amazing. It holds up very well and I haven't had any issues with any rips or tears. • It’s just amazing. If you never felt like an executive with a full-blown schedule before, you will now. I honestly will continue to buy these for each year. The only reason I would stop, was if the quality went down or they made drastic changes to this product, in the terms of the setup of the index. This was exactly what I needed in a daily planner. I wish I found this planner earlier. Solid quality for a solid price!

Took a while to arrive, ordered October 28th, arrived November 23rd, but I'm very pleased with the quality and the layout of the planner/journal. The Monthly planner is conveniently located at the front of the book, saving me flipping through numerous pages to find the next month. A full page is reserved for each day where you can take notes, brainstorm, journal or all of the above. I love the fact that unlike most planners, each hour of the day does not run down the side. That is too restrictive for me, I prefer something more open like this book delivers. This one book replaces two of my books - a planner and a journal, as it is all rolled up into one. I never thought I would find the perfect planner. I just did. I highly recommend it.

Good quality, nice to hold and write in. I own the 2024 and 2025 editions and just bought 2026. Highly recommend.

I like it and can't wait to start writing in it daily for 2026 but I REALLY wish there was a better way to differentiate between months. I hate tabs that stick OUT but I would have love cut IN tabs. Also don't love that all the months calendars are in the beginning and not used to divide the months in the writing section. I hope that made sense. Otherwise I like the paper,it's not super thin, love the cover, color, simplicity, size, and full pages for each day. 4 stars for the 2 reasons listed above

Luxury quality for a reasonable price! It’s challenging to find a day-a-page journal that has full pages for weekend days but this does! Personalization was lovely, quick delivery (6 days from the UK to the US East Coast).

As a child, my late father used to use a diary like this everyday for construction job notes. I saw this and I wanted to start journaling so I could feel closer to him. The product and it's packaging is BETTER THAN EXPECTED! The color is insanely rich, using a Unibal Micro 207 pen, there isn't any bleed through the cream/ivory colored pages. The place marker ribbon is the same color as the cover which has a subtle texture and feels good holding it. The journal will lay flat for easy writing and there is a pocket attached to the back cover that can hold smaller pieces of paper. The journal comes wrapped in tissue and enclosed in a form fitting box. I wouldn't hesitate to have this shipped direct from Amazon as a gift to someone. Beautiful product and a TREMENDOUS value.

To begin with; I absolutely love technology, and would consider myself a tech enthusiast, but in my personal opinion, absolutely NOTHING, beats having a good ol' physical agenda/planner. This Planner/Agenda/Daily Dairy/Daily Journal -WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT! -is hands down, THE BEST one I've ever used. There are so many planners that come in different shapes and sizes, but i find that most planners allocate the wrong amount of page space per day, or dedicate too much page space to an unnecessary things like a TINY calendar on every single page. Being the tech enthusiast I am and always being surrounded by technology, I find it is SO EASY to pull up a calendar, I'm always around a laptop with windows, all you do is click the date/time at the bottom right corner (on the taskbar), and Boom! instant and easy to access calendar. I (personally) don't need a mini calendar on every page! Give me a full size calendar for each month, and call it a day. Some planners give weekends an ENTIRE full size block to match the same size as Mon-Fri, which may work for a certain crowd, but not for myself working the typical "Monday to Friday" work schedule. Full size weekend blocks don't sound like an issue, and could sell to a wider audience who do indeed work weekends, but when the planner "designer" (not sure what the title is) decides to squeeze 3 or more days to a page smaller than a common ipad mini, it becomes UNBEARABLE. To combat some of those woes, I've even gotten desperate enough for more page space, where I have purchased JUMBO sized planners, Sure those will brute force the need for more paper, but they are uncomfortable to toss in a laptop bag, and even just carry around. Those Jumbo planners usually STILL suffer the problem of not having enough vertical space in between the days (the designers are still trying to squeeze too many days to one page!). MEANWHILE THIS WYKEHAM'S PLANNER/AGENDA/DAILY DIARY/DAILY JOURNAL -dedicates an ENTIRE page to each and every single day! This allows for so much flexibility, want to make a checklist one day? Done. Need to track only a handful of items but a lot of notes? Done. Want to just use this as a journal or diary? Done. Need to track goals or plans for each individual month? Done. Want to track your financial expenses or I.O.U.'s for whatever reason??? Uhhh, Done....surprisingly! Each page is dated and indicates the day of the week, simple, easy, and back to the basics. I find my days; whether working or at home, to consist of many short tasks, and that's where having this ENTIRE page per day shines! The 2023 year has JUST begun and I am so grateful to have enough space to create task lists AND have enough space to add details, descriptions or notes in regards to those tasks. Since EVEN WEEKENDS have their own full pages, I have started using this planner for at home use (weekend workers rejoice!). Every other brand that I have come across has their own different method of tackling the concept of the "daily planner", like having "undated" pages so they can be picked up and used any time of the year (don't have to start from January if you buy it in March for example). Or maybe having individual pages, but with a bunch of premade templates for checklists and such. Those are great features, but I like for my planner to have just simple requirements; "Month and Day" dated pages, lines for guiding my "chicken-scratch" handwriting, and lastly an indication of what day of the week it is. I can create my own checklist if need be, instead of the planner designer having premade wasted space, if I don't end up using the checklists for certain day, and maybe that day I just need to just capture lots and lots of notes. This Wykeham's handles the "daily planner" concept the BEST, hands down. This may sound like a paid advertisement or something, but seeing the lack of money in my pockets, I can assure you, I have not made a dime on this review! I am just VERY passionate about physical "hard copy" planners. I have tried so many options from many big box stores and lately Amazon, I guess in a way I guess I am a "Planner Enthusiast". I have seen in my own life the immense value brought by organizing my days, and keeping track of items/tasks that I need to complete, both at home and work. And all of this comes at a very cozy (roughly) 9x5x1 size (I rounded the numbers a bit). Of course, no product is perfect! My biggest criticism (which MIGHT be a selling feature for someone else!) Is that the entire yearly calendar (all 12 months) is bunched up at the front of the planner. For clarity; I prefer to have "the usual" big "two page" full calendar to live in between each month's worth of days. You will find in a majority of planners; that you will see a new Monthly calendar, as you flip past the last day of a particular month, but I digress. As I might have established with my review, finding the right planner for YOUR needs, can take quite some time, and there's been years where I said: "I already spent the money, I will just make it work". This planner might not be perfect for everyone, but I think it's pretty dang great for a MAJORITY of folks. For myself? It is 99.99% there. Safe to say, Wykeman's has earned a lifetime customer with me!

This little journal has become a very nice addition to my routine. The quality is very good, I love the feel of the binding and the paper is smooth for my pen. I do feel like the size and thickness combination sometimes makes it awkward to write on when you get to the bottom of the page. I also love the look, it's quite classy!

Really impressed with the quality of this Journal/Diary. It’s simple and doesn’t have all the extras that a super premium journal does; but for work it’s perfect. The personalization is really nice too!

I think this diary is just superb! It arrives beautifully packed, it’s like getting a present! I came back and bought another for my daughter too. Please use this company I’d definitely recommend.
