The Non-Planner Datebook Paperback – December 11, 2009

This "non-planner" is a lot of fun to be able to just pull out and jot stuff in - appointments, info, lists of aquarium fish to buy :) - and I've been carrying it about in my purse for a few months now. I have the paperback version, as the spiral-bound is now apparently rare and outrageously expensive, and I really wish mine was spiral-bound. The spine is fairly stiff, making it hard to keep open to write. I also wish there were more pages without a suggested theme/title - more "blank" pages with just some doodles. I guess I could just go through and cover the suggested titles up if I want the page to be something else, but then, maybe I should just get a hardcover spiral notebook in the future. :/ Maybe I'll try getting this spiral-bound at Staples or something, too. I really enjoy Keri Smith's stuff and have most of her other books. This one just seems like it could have been designed with a little more purpose and practicality.

This is a completely undated calendar - the pages with the calendar grid aren't labeled by month even, so you can literallly start anytime during the year. I don't really like the grid - the spaces are pretty small and not large enough to write more than 1 thing in. The other pages have lots of room to write down to do lists, shopping lists and random things. Since it looks like a child drew the sections, I don't feel bad about writing all over them.There are a few journal pages as well, which are fairly blank - good places to write detailed notes about things or to journal your week.It will be a fun little distraction for the year.

The Non-Planner Datebook is yet another example of why I love Keri Smith. This great little Datebook journal is filled with delightful illustrations just begging to be further embellished and colored. There are so many places to add thoughts and notes, not to mention a couple of boxes expressly for trying out new pens and pencils.It is certainly not your typical super-organized Planner which makes entering dates and events that much more memorable. I take mine everywhere for the random thoughts and happenings that come up in a day's time. I pack along some colored pencils and a few markers (although not necessary) to make the entries uniquely mine. What fun!If you love to keep journals, have a habit of doodling and like something different from the ordinary, you will love this Datebook.

I like how it's clean and simple yet actually productive. Also, that it's not bulky and can be brought along anywhere. It helped me during those times I was working on various creative projects, as well as personal ones.For those looking for a fun planner but does not restrict you to the usual to-do's and listing down priorities, this one is worth buying.

product arrived alot sooner than I thought. I gave the item away, It was cute, but no very efficient for me to use, to many random designs and drawings in it. Not the type of non-planner I was looking for. My 12 year ols loves it though.

I am a very Non-orderly person and hate sceduals! This book allows me the freedom to walk to the beat of my own drum and still have whats most importent maped out for me :) Great book! Recomend to anyone who is a little more of a free spirit!

Bought one of these a year ago while trying to get on the planner wagon train & it was so much fun! Ordering another now!

I really like this planner, but I do wish the calendar pages had a tad more room to write. Other than that - it's super cute and a good size for a purse!
