How do I choose between the A5 and A4 planners?

The A5 and A4 Everything Planners have the exact same inner design. The difference is only in the size.

The A5 is smaller and more compact. It is ideal for if you travel with your planner a lot.

The A4 is large. It is very large, in fact. The advantage is that you have more space on your pages to write. If you mainly leave your planner at home, the A4 is ideal. The A4 also stays open flat on a desk.

If you would like to print a sample page to compare the size of an A5 and an A4 page, you can print this document. Make sure to print it in A4 or A5 to compare the two sizes.

When will I get my planner?

Planners ordered at the beginning of September have a 3-4 week lead time. You will receive an email with a tracking number once your order is shipped

Do you have a payment plan option?

Using the Payflex option, you can pay for your order over 6 weeks, in 4 installments. This option is interest-free, and your best bet if you want to pay for your order over a longer time.
