Frequently asked questions
Every Laurel Denise planner offers a unique blend of daily, weekly, and monthly views to help you stay organized. Some layouts focus on just monthly or weekly views, while others combine weekly, monthly, and even daily pages for more detailed planning.
The Nancy features short weekly pages in the center with horizontal rows, sitting on either side of the coil when the planner is open.
The Anne has short weekly pages in the center with vertical, lined columns for time-blocked scheduling.
The Scout is spiral-bound, with short weekly and daily pages running along the bottom. Each day has a lined vertical column for structured planning.
The Rose doesn’t include short daily or weekly pages around the coil (though inserts can be added!). It offers a large monthly view on the left and space for categorized lists or brain drops on the right.
The Carmen is our most traditional layout, featuring a large monthly planner.

Choosing a planner size is a big decision, and 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.
Plus, we offer a free size comparison printable so you can test your handwriting in each layout before purchasing.
Here’s a quick guide to help you find your perfect fit:
Small Size: Small but mighty
- Perfect for simple planning and lighter schedules
- Fits easily in most handbags and totes, great for on-the-go
- Less open space helps keep things feeling manageable for beginners
- About the size of a cookbook or a sheet of paper (just a few inches shorter)
Large Size: Room to breathe
- Ideal for juggling work, personal life, kids, and all your lists
- Plenty of space for detailed planning, notes, and to-dos
- Portable enough to carry (about the size of a slim laptop)
- Great if you want to spread out and see your whole week at a glance
Choosing a planner online can feel tricky, especially when you can’t flip through it first.
Before You Buy:
- View photos and videos on our product pages and socials to get a feel for each layout.
- Download our free printable to test your handwriting in each planner size
- Check out our Compare Our Planners page for a side-by-side layout guide.
Planner Sizes at a Glance:

- Large: Larger, like a 15" laptop, perfect for detailed planning.
After It Arrives (Before You Write):
- If you’re unsure, hold onto your packaging and wait before writing in it.
- Test writing lightly on a blank sheet over the layout to check spacing.
- Hold the planner and feel how the coil sits, comfort matters!

While we don’t offer customizations to the layout or cover (due to production costs and timelines), our planners are still totally customizable, just in your own creative way!
For the inside:
We offer a growing collection of Planner Inserts designed to fit our coil-bound and spiral-bound planners. Whether you need space for detailed lists, lesson plans, project planning, or something else entirely, there’s likely an insert (or booster pack!) that fits your needs. Just be sure to select the insert size that matches your specific planner.
Note: Inserts are not compatible with our sewn/bookbound planners due to the fixed binding.
For the outside:
Many customers personalize their covers with stickers, washi tape, vinyl decals, and even paint, and we love seeing all the ways you make it your own!
We offer a few different formats so you can choose the one that fits your schedule best. Each one includes 12 months of planning:
- Calendar Year Planners (Yearly) – Dated January through December
- Academic Planners (Mid-Year) – Dated July through June, perfect for the school year
- Undated Planners – Totally flexible! You fill in the dates as you go. This one is a great choice if you want to start your month and your weeks on different days or if your life doesn't start on a Monday or a Sunday.
At this time, we don’t offer an 18-month planner. We’ve found that keeping the format to 12 months helps reduce bulk, keeps things more lightweight, and allows us to keep pricing as approachable as possible.
Planning beyond a year? Many of our customers like to keep a second planner on hand for future planning or use our Insert Packs and Sticky Notes to jot down what’s ahead before transferring it into their next planner.
Still deciding? Head to our Compare Our Planners page to see all the formats side by side and find your perfect fit.
Most of the time, our processing time is 1-4 business days, but during our busiest seasons, it can take a little longer (about 5-8 business days). Occasionally, we offer pre-orders for items before they’re officially available, and when we do, we’ll always share the specific processing and shipping details for those orders in the order confirmation.
Our fulfillment team, based in Utah, works Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM PT, and takes a break for all major U.S. holidays.

Choosing between a Sunday or Monday start just comes down to how you like your week to begin. A Sunday start places Sunday as the first day in your weekly layout, while a Monday start shifts everything so the weekend is grouped together at the end. Totally up to your planning style!
Start with this question: How do you like to see your week?
No matter how busy life gets (juggling kids, work, school, or all of the above) our planners are designed to help you manage everything on your plate. The real key is figuring out how your brain likes to see everything organized.
Not sure where to begin? Here are some of the most common things we hear from our community (maybe one sounds like you):
“I like my week to flow left to right, with plenty of open space to jot down my plans, tasks, and notes.”
That’s The Nancy planner, if you don’t need to schedule by the hour but want room to write and separate different parts of your day.
“I must time block all of my day.”
If that’s you, The Anne planner is a great fit. With lined columns, you can plan your day top to bottom by time, by category, or as one big to-do list. Psst...The Scout planner is also a good option for time-blockers.
“I’m more about tasks than specific times, and I love seeing a big monthly calendar.”
The Rose planner pairs a full monthly spread with a four-column layout for tasks, goals, or categories—perfect if you keep your schedule digital, use the Kanban method, or like pulling from a master list based on your time and energy.
“I want a spiral-bound planner with vertical days, but shorter columns that still give me plenty of room.”
That’s The Scout planner, known for its short pages at the bottom and a monthly view that lines up perfectly with the weekly layout.
“I’m an educator and need sections to organize my day by subjects or classes Monday through Friday.”
The Valerie planner gives you five blocks per day. Need more room? You can always split a block or two for planning periods or meetings. If these are sold out, you can choose another planner and add in our block inserts to create a setup that works for you!
“I like to keep it simple, with just a big monthly calendar to see the whole picture.”
The Carmen planner keeps things minimal, great on its own or as a supplement for meal planning and other schedules.
“I’m overwhelmed and just need to pick something to get started.”
We hear you! The Rose planner is a great place to begin. It's simple, flexible, and easy to build on. You can try adding Horizontal or Vertical inserts so that you can test out which weekly layout you'd prefer.
Choosing a planner can feel like picking your favorite ice cream flavor, so many great options! Our best advice? Check out our Compare Our Planners page for the full scoop on each layout. Don’t stress about finding the “perfect” one right away; sometimes the best way is to start with one that feels right and adjust as you go.
You can check our Restock Page for details on when items might be restocking. As a general rule, once a pattern is sold out, we typically don’t restock it, we try to plan for enough inventory when each collection launches. That said, sometimes we don’t realize just how popular something will be (The Scout, anyone?), and we make adjustments when we can. If you’re crossing your fingers for a comeback, be sure to sign up for restock notifications on the product page just in case!

“I really like this tool! It is so practical for setting up time for daily planning. I used it in a weekly spread. Easy to use. Legible. I love that the product comes in a pack of three. I did not add minutes or the half hours, but the flexibility to do so is there. ”

Washi tape is a GAME changer! Especially for those who want it to be perfectly distributed but don’t have time to measure every hour out! I will be buying this tape for the rest of time!
Love this! I run up the side of my weekly side trackers on the Anne. I don't stick to it religiously, but it's there when I want it. Very easy to apply and sticks nicely.
Love!
Won’t buy from anywhere else the best!
The tape is a good quality. I wish that the numbers were closer together so that it would fit into each box on the (vertical) weekly planner.
Good
Love the many timeline options!
I was using the half hour ones, but I think I’ve discovered that after 30 years of planning every half an hour that I’m over planning and overwhelming myself so if I still stick to the hourly, even though sometimes things happen on the half hour, I am still better off in the long run. Much clearer and easier to see Than the half hour tape.
Because of the planner I have, I can only fit 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. on the daily pages.
I love my planner and the washi tape is the icing on the case. Definitely worth it!
Wish the numbers were a little larger
I love this hour based washi.
I think it’s a great layout, however the cover is so think and heavy that it takes a lot of space in my book bag and with my laptop and notebooks it’s not fun to bring with me. Would love to see them with an option to get a lighter laminated type weight cover. Which in turn will make it lighter and more easy to carry around.
Nice
These little washi time strips are so nifty!!!
This washi is well made. It’s spaced out to match certain formats. I trim it to mark every hour with four 15 minute spaces or three 20 minute lines.
The hourly washi tape is absolutely perfect for getting all of my meetings and appointments in and keeping my planner looking nice and organized!
the tape wasn't useful in the way I needed it to be which was in the day to day section -- the time was way too spaced out, and of course I could have cut it, but my intent was to save time, so that wasn't helpful. I may use it in the future.
Very nice.
This washi tape is AMAZING! I have several versions, and they all arecalibrated to my portrait planner, but the condensed hour is my personal fave for the portrait planner. one hour per line, and I easily get 7a-6p labeled with 4-5 extra lines left over for daily priorities!
Perfect for my add in sheets to be able to time block my day but keep it neat looking with the washi.
I love how this tape allows me to customize the planner! Super helpful!
It’s perfect for my portrait planner! Time blocking is so helpful for my day, and not having the write it out saves so much time!
This makes the planner perfect! I love that I can change the time to suit my needs! Love it!!!
This helped me customize days that I needed a further breakdown of my time.
Best invention ever, I have yet to use it though.
Works great! Easy to peel but seems to stay put in the planner!
I love the idea of not having to write the hours and having them look uniform in my planner, however I wish the hours were not spaced out and could align with each line on the vertical weekly spaces as my schedule is mostly on the hour.
Store owner replied: Thank you for your review! We'll have new hourly time washi tape coming soon :) Team LD
perfect for what I wanted!
Love it. Very useful. Is there a way to not waste tape while opening!
Works great
A coworker of mine recommended this planner for me and I finally decided to try it and let me tell you, this planner helps you handle your business! As someone who works a full-time job, runs her own business, is pursing graduate school, and still wants time to see family and friends, it's hard to manage that kind of schedule. Leveraging this planner has made managing all of this a breath of fresh air and a breeze. I highly recommend this to any passionate individual looking to level-up their organization skills - am I right fellow female queens?!
The washi tape is easy to use and keeps my vertical planner looking neat and organized.
Excellent planner! As a grad student in Physician Assistant school, plus ADHD, plus a home, dog, and boyfriend, I can keep all our appts and schedule aligned. The sticky notes are a GREAT addition. I add them as study blocks, but it’s so nice to be able to move them around! I keep my test and assignment dates organized on the monthly side and daily class schedule on the daily side. There’s plenty of room to keep my boyfriend and my schedule and reminders, as well as home tasks, on the notes side on the right, and plenty of room to keep track of my dog’s medications there as well! I’ve tried Erin Condren planners, basic planners, journal style planners, and Day Designer planner and this one outranks them all! Plus! The undated version allowed me to start whenever I wanted and even organize my calendar by weekdays only with extra space for to dos or a full 7-day week. AND I can switch it up monthly! Very convenient!!
Amazing!! Love your planner! For my ADD brain seeing the month and week together just works! The paper quality is perfect and the cover is beautiful! It was expensive but so worth it and I want to use it everyday! Thank you for making a well designed beautiful planner!
I LOVE MY NEW PLANNER!!! I have tried MANY different planners and they were never quite what I needed so I would try to supplement with other items. Now I have what I need in one planner I have FINALLY found planner happiness!
Great washi tape so I don’t have to write it in every time
LOVE the time blocking washi tape, it fits perfectly in my vertical planner and I love how neat it is compared to my big handwriting! Thanks LD for keeping me organized :)
I can already tell that this planner is going to help my ADHD brain so much! Being able to see the month and the week at the same time is a game changer. The quality is also great!
these are fun, too...
