Review on 24 Hour Planner 2023 – Hardcover, Japanese Design – Weekly & Monthly Appointment Book With Time Slots 8.5 X 11 by Srinivasan Bennett

I was looking forward to get this planner /appointment book. It is not a planner, it is just an appointment book, lacking a lot of things. Too expensive for what this is . For some reason not explained in description, the planner includes 2 page weekly spreads for last week of October 2022, full 2 page weekly spread for the full month of November 2022 and December 2022 however, only December 2022 has 2 full page month spread. Nothing for November 2022 or October. I have been using planners, appointments books, since middle school and in different countries and I have never seen a planner start at the last week of October, even in countries with different calendars they start either on the 1st or 15 of the month but not the last week. So if you need the full month of October, or the month spread for October and November you won’t have it.The extra pages for those weeks and months are useless and either you make double entries for those months, one in your 2022 planner and also in this planner or It could be a bit messy to come back at the end of the year trying to find information.The daily columns are a bit narrow and the paper is not lined, meaning you have to write neat and with fine point pens / pencils like 0.38 tip pens ( microfine) or thinner and 0.5 or thinner lead pens. Otherwise will be messy.I work Sundays so I like the fact that Saturday and Sundays come with 24h as the other weeks of the day so I can start entering planning work of Saturday evenings and regular work on Sundays and get rid of post it notes on the pages.The extra oct-December pages and the pages for notes make it heavier than usual to carry around. I am not sure if I will keep this planner.Another important feature missing is a holiday calendar which it is useful to know to book appointments and life around the holidays.I will try to use it but I am not very excited about this.Do not Recommend it.
