We know choosing a planner online can feel like a big decision, especially when you can’t flip through it in person first. So if you’re unsure whether this planner will work for you, hang on to that pretty box and packaging, and hold off on breaking out your pen just yet.
Whether you’re just browsing or already holding it in your hands, here are some tips to help you decide if it’s the right fit without marking it up and risking your return option.

Need help visualizing which size would work best for you?
-
Small Planner (9 x 7 inches, closed)
Small and easy to carry, about the size of a cookbook or a sheet of printer paper (just a few inches shorter). Great if you want something portable but still keeps track of everything you need to plan. -
Large Planner (12 x 9 inches, closed)
A bit bigger, like a slim laptop or clipboard. Perfect if you like lots of space to write and plan. -
The Scout Planner (9.75 x 11 inches, closed)
Taller and narrow, about the size of a sheet of paper. A nice middle ground with the weekly pages at the bottom.

After It Arrives (But Before You Write)
You can try it out without using it so it stays returnable within 30 days, unused, and in like-new condition. Here’s how:
-
Test the writing space
Place a blank sheet of paper over the layout and write with your pen using light pressure (no pressing down) to see if the spacing works for your handwriting without leaving indents.
-
Check binding comfort
Hold the planner as if you’re writing and notice if the binding feels comfortable. Some people find wire-o or spirals tricky, so it’s good to test this before you write.
-
Mentally plan your week
Flip through the pages and imagine how you’d use the layout. Does it feel like it fits your routine or not quite?
Returns
We don’t offer exchanges, but you can return any qualifying unused planner within 30 days of delivery. Trying it gently as described above helps keep your return eligible. View our return policy here »
