I like that the planner is not pre-filled out with the year or days, so you can start it at any time. The planner is the perfect size to carry in my bag and I jot down appointments and other reminders to myself. The paper has a nice texture and keeps the planner thin and not bulky. Highly recommend!

Puts my mini-field journal to good use.
I've found Lochby's A5 sized planner notebooks to be the ideal setup for me and I've probably used up half a dozen or more of those by now. When I finally treated myself to the mini-field journal setup I found that these 3.5" x 5.5" planners are no different. Since they're so compact you won't find them COMPLETELY identical to the A5 ones (for instance they don't have the monthly two page calendar spreads in the first few pages like the bigger ones do) but they make up for it in their handy size. I realize that "everyone makes pocket sized planners" but try finding one in this same size with Tomoe River paper, and in a format that doesn't lock you into being forced to use it for a specific year only. The same little planner does the same job this year that it did in 2025, and it's one more useful component of what has become the "multi-tool of pocket journals".

Best Little Calendar
I'm a Lochby convert, particularly with A6-sized everything, especially the Pocket-Planner - it's fantastic. Whether you're a Lochby person or not, I certainly couldn't find a better A6 calendar planner out there...and I looked! If you want a non-digital vault for managing the things going on in your life, and you like A6-sized notebooks, this is hard to beat.
