This planner is dated July 2025 - June 2026.
The Horizontal Weekly Planner is made for thinkers, dreamers, and doers who like to see the big picture and move through their week with intention—not hour-by-hour. With monthly and weekly views visible at the same time, plus generous space for appointments, notes, and to-dos, this layout supports your rhythm, not the other way around.
Whether you’re separating work from personal life, journaling your days, managing family life, or just need room for your beautiful, large handwriting—this layout gives you the flexibility to plan in a way that feels natural. Left-to-right thinkers, this one’s for you.
Important Notes:
- Sunday Start = Sunday monthly start and Sunday weekly start.
- Monday Start = Monday monthly start and Monday weekly start.
The perfect planner for you if you...
- Want to see your whole week and your month when you fold your planner in half
- Have bigger handwriting
- Want to write a LOT (ie: journaling)
- Have a brain that works left to right better than up and down
- Don’t need to time block
- Just want a general overview of your day without a ton of details
- Like larger writing spaces
- Want to use the coil to separate tasks for two different things (ie: work and personal)
- Want to plan your day with 1-2 priorities and a small task list

“I’ve been eyeing this since last year when I only found it after it was sold out. I am obsessed and can’t wait until 2024 to use it! I do wish there was a month or two added in before, just the calendar even! But regardless, it has everything to keep me organized! I can have a monthly layout, a spot for workouts, spot for dinners, to do list, and extras! Worth the money! ”

“I love having the full month always in view. I noticed that for the weeks, if there's a task I don't finish, I just flip to the next week and write it down there. But! There's extra space! I can write down notes for the month that always. stay. in. sight! This layout is truly priceless to me. I get to see all of my notes, all of the time, for the month/current week/any of my notes. There is no flipping pages or forgetting because I see what I need every time I open this planner. Also... her Facebook group: AMAZING. I feel like I've found my people! ”

“When I was looking for a new planner I stumbled upon Laurel Dennis planners and I have never looked back. I use this planner not only for day to day, month to month tasks, but also for myself to be creative. There is a planner for everyone and my horizontal planner is my command center for the family. A spot for everything going on in my family, all laid out and organized. ”

Laurel’s Quick Planning Tips
- Start with a Brain Drop
Write down every task, appointment, and idea floating around in your head. Get it all out onto paper or a digital note. (For extra fun, use one of our notepads designed just for this.) - Input Deadlines
Transfer the deadlines and projects from your brain drop into your monthly and weekly planner views. You can set this up one month at a time or map out your entire year in advance. (Pro Tip: Consider planning just three months ahead. Use sticky notes as placeholders for appointments in later months—your planning style might evolve, and this approach keeps things flexible. - Assign Tasks
Take the remaining tasks from your brain drop and assign them to a specific day, week, or month. Focus on imminent tasks first, and place long-term ideas in the corresponding month’s list to revisit later. - Track Unassigned Items
Keep a small sticky note or one of our Pop-In-Panels handy with tasks that don’t have an immediate deadline. Address these as you find time and mental capacity or delegate them when possible.
Remember: Planning Is a Process
We revisit this process often, starting with a brain drop and working through the steps to organize our swirling thoughts into manageable actions. No matter where you are in your planning journey, be kind to yourself. There’s no such thing as perfect planning.
If you have any questions or need more guidance, we’re always here to help. Happy planning!

Every Laurel Denise planner layout provides space for daily, weekly, and monthly task lists and notes, featuring the signature all-in-one view that sets Laurel Denise apart. The difference between our planners is (mostly) in the short pages, which are the daily and weekly pages.
In the Horizontal Weeky Planner, these pages have horizontal lines and don't have hourly time blocks. They are in the middle of the planner, around the coil binding.
In the Vertical Weekly Planner, these short pages have vertical columns with lines and allow for a time blocked schedule. They are in the middle of the planner, around the coil binding.
The Portrait Planner is bound with a spiral and the short weekly and daily pages are along the bottom of the planner. Each day has a vertical lined column in this planner.
In the Project Planner, there are no daily or weekly short pages around the coil (although you can purchase inserts for that). This planner has a more open concept with a large monthly view on the left side and a space for categorized lists or brain drops on the right side. This planner also features extra project breakdown pages in the back.
The Simple Monthly Planner is our most traditional layout, featuring a large monthly planner.
The monthly view is where your macro, or your big picture, schedule goes. Deadlines, due dates, travel plans, ANYTHING at all that you need to have a birds eye view of. (If that includes details like your dentist appointment at 2pm on a Tuesday, then so be it, but I would save details like that for the shorter pages.)
The weekly view is where you micro, or detailed, schedule and tasks go. These can be things associated to the items on your monthly view - they are the details of that view. These can also be things that stand alone - meetings, schedule, task items that happen in your daily life.
Check out this reel (and the "month vs week" highlight on our IG channel) for details on this.
As with all of our planners, these definitions are fluid. You can be like Nancy and include details in your monthly view (like that dentist appointment) and use the short pages to echo those details and include detailed tasks, you can be like Mabby and use the monthly view for your family's schedule and the weekly pages for your daily task lists, you can be like Laurel and use the monthly view for your marketing schedule and the weekly pages for your time blocked schedule and daily task list, or like many of the users out there who have found their best way. The recommendation above is the most overarching and basic use and will help you to get started with your Laurel Denise planner.
Our Vertical and Horizontal Weekly planners come in Standard (9x12) and Mini (7x9).

There are so many reasons people pick a specific planner size! Here are a few we have noticed come up quite often:
1. Handwriting size *can* matter. We have images on each product listing showing several people's handwriting so that you can see how your handwriting compares and which size to pick based on that.
2. If you don't tend to plan in detail and don't have a full schedule, the Mini planner is for you.
3. If you are just starting your planning journey, we recommend starting with a Mini size.
4. Our planners leave ample room for all of the things, which can make having them fully open feel larger than your usual planner. If this feels intimidating, choose the Mini size.
5. If you want to use your planner to plan work, personal, kids, all of the lists, notes, and your cat's medication schedule, choose the Standard size.
6. Contrary to what it may seem, all of our sizes are pretty portable. The Standard size is about the size of a traditional laptop. If you have a handbag and want your planner to stay there, we suggest going with a Mini.
We do not offer our planner layouts as a printable file.
Laurel has created some printable layouts that are slightly different from the planners we offer and they can be found here.
The most popular app for digital planners, GoodNotes, only allows for a single planner screen to change at a time, making it impossible to format a Laurel Denise layout on this app (we need 4 screens at one time!). Until we decide to add "tech company" to our small business, we will continue manufacturing the high quality paper planners you've come to love.
We will absolutely continue to research if we can make our unique format into a digital layout and hope to be able to offer it in the future!!
Laurel Denise offers coil and spiral bound planners.
Unfortunately, coptic or flat-lay binding isn't suitable for our planners with short and long pages, as this type of binding requires pages to be uniform in size and width. The unique design of our planners makes this challenging, but we’re committed to exploring solutions to make this a possibility in the future!
