Moleskine 2027 planner review. How are you doing?
This is Ahmed Dhan. So today we're going to take a
look at the 2027 Moleskine planner review
and I'm going to go over a few other things at the same
time. Now before I start if you're just wondering about what pen
is this, this is a Cross Century
One or also known as Cross Classic
and I'll never forget this you know when I bought this
This is just 2008 because that's
when my first book was published and this is the one
So very reliable and durable and good-looking pen you cannot go wrong
with any series of cross pen.
So before I take a look let's take a look at what we
have here so this is called an elastic closure
and it kind of like you know
makes your notebook neat and clean
or neat and compact when you're traveling
especially or you can just close it
but usually I end up never using this and
then
we have another piece like this inside
which is called a ribbon bookmark and this is right here
and this is to bookmark your like you know dates
or important things which you need right away at
a later time so this is pocket size
and this is very close to a6 and this is like you know a 9x14
centimeter so this is almost identical to standard
a6 pocket size compact enough to slide easily into
Or even you can put it in your pocket or a small bag.
This is a very travel friendly and that's
something I like. And in terms of paperweight,
the paper is if you can see that this is GSM 70.
So the reason because this is not like an higher GSM due
to the fact that if they do that is going
uh bulkier and this is like you know 70 gsm ivory paper
so that keeps the notebook thin and
lightweight and it's very like you know carry on or user friendly
so what you want to do if you're using
a pen you should be using a pen like this
any standard ballpoint pen or even fine tip gel pen would work but
if you are like you know using rollerball pen
you'll see like you know ghosting or fountain
pen it will like you know bleed so best would
be a standard ballpoint pen or very fine gel pen
but if it's something else then you're gonna see
ghosting. okay now so what happened this year
i was like you know waiting to buy this
For a little cheaper price because the price went up a lot.
It's like close to $30 Canadian after taxes and everything
which I thought it'd be a little higher price to pay.
So I was waiting but the price doesn't go down so I just bought it.
And also another thing I want to mention
that last year I bought hardcover.
not like you know soft cover and for that reason i ended up using not
used that much because hardcover is like you know bulky
and takes much space and
even i was i didn't feel strong enough to
take when i was traveling so i didn't use it that much so that's why
i'm always like you know going to stick with the soft cover
and also last cover i was having difficulty finding the hardcover
because that's
I'm sorry, I was having difficulty to find the soft cover,
but this year I paid a little bit more
and waited waited to get the soft cover
So when you open the book
Then you have uh, like, you know here you can put your like,
you know name and address
Also mention a reward but I never use this because I don't want
to put my name here in case it gets lost or something
And then here like, you know, there's some Moleskine information
and you can see that this is Moleskine weekly diary
and they have a variation of planners which
i'm not going to go over this year in detail
because i have made a separate video just about
yesterday and i'm going to put that video link
in the description box below so you can check out
that video if you want to know different type of like
in the Moleskine planners and may not be like
you know you can decide on which one is best suitable for you
but this is called Moleskine
Weekly Diary.
So here you have place for name, surname, home address,
phone, blood group, I don't know if anyone
ever you know fill this out but I never do.
And then here you have at a glance calendar for 2027
which might come in handy when you're planning a vacation
so you can take a look at everything
all at once. And also then you have here month by month the entire 27.
This is also like a good for
vacation or any planning or any appointment
and if you have something very important on that month
you can just like you know put a cross mark here
and that way you know that there's something
going on on the date or you can even write very small tiny like
in doctor's appointment or
something if you need to do that or you can just
like you know come back here for reference so
that's another use of that section now we will just continue up
to the end here and then here
And here you can see that there's like 20, 28.
so if you're planning a lot ahead for travel
or anything then this is going to come in handy
especially i do that i start planning my travel like one year ahead
and i start like you know
buying tickets like six months to eight months ahead
so that's something will be very useful
when you need to take a look at the year after
and there you have some ideas and goals uh then
here you have travel planning destination date date notes
and itinerary so this is also very
And ideas and goals you can jot down if you have a big major
or big ideas for that year
or something very small you know it doesn't matter small
or big you can just like you know put in
your goals and it's very tangible
when you're like you know writing something it gives you
kind of encouragement and it makes you to work harder
to achieve your goals and ideas so that's
Now, my...
Extraordinary moments this year
and blank space so these I don't really use
it but you know it's there if you need
to use it you can use it for anything it
doesn't have to be just like you know
what they're saying it can be just like
an empty notes and here you can like you know jot the notes
and you can like you
know take a look at your travels
and stuff so that's something actually I
ended up never using it but it's there if you need it
and there here you have a
and actually what happens I always forget that there is a ruler here
and I never use it so
this is something else I end up never using it
and here they're like you know some legends if
you need to know what's inside the notebooks
and then you can see the planner starts with
December 28th the year before so this is actually 2026 December
and then here you're going to start
Let's see. So here you're going to start January 2027
and if you look at here you can see that
each page has the month on the upper right corner of the left page
and the week on the upper left
corner on the right page.
So that way you know which month and week you're looking at and then
it goes by day by day and each when you make it lie flat the entire book
or planner or notebook has the whole
week lie in front in front of you except the Saturday
and sunday it's like you know a
little bit smaller because uh maybe uh the reason that you know
that's not a work day but usually i use saturday sunday most
for travel planning because that just like a regular weekday
so this is the entire format the entire notebook
is going to follow and let's
take a look here so what else we have here so that
continues throughout the notebook and then
here you have the end and then here you have some blank pages
and here you can just like you know
jot down some notes ideas anything important highlights
and you can see that they gave very
generous amount of like you know blank pages here
so that's a very good thing and then here you have
We have...
some codes and information about Moleskine
and there that's the end of the notebook now one thing
is that they have a pocket here
so this can be like you know very helpful to put some like you
know something you need for example receipts uh
and when you're traveling you can even uh you know
insert like you know boarding pass or receipts
or something so but i i see no need or use for these
like stickers and i ended up never using them
so i don't know how many people you know actually use it
but this can be like you know for some maybe
but this is something i never had to use it or i never
you know see any purpose of this or any like you know helpful things
but some people i know like a
sticker so maybe it's going to be helpful
for those and that's the end of the notebook and you
can see that when you're holding it it's so slim
and tiny and this is the reason i like Moleskine
and i keep buying it year after year and i do review
also for you guys year after year and
It looks very like you know nice,
very visually pleasing and then very pocket friendly,
very travel friendly.
You can put it in your laptop, your pocket, your sling bag, anywhere
and you can keep it with you all the time
for the purpose of traveling or even when you're
outside or when you are home.
So this is the reason I like the soft cover because of the
minimalist approach and you can see that you cannot go wrong.
with everything except the thing i can complain about
is the price feels a little bit higher but
what i noticed that the price actually when i think
when they first released it in september
yeah september or august it was down it was like 20 dollars
or something then it kept going up up up
now it's like 26 or 27 canadian i'm going to put
the you know price what what i paid on the screen
and you can see that it's like you know comes close to 30 dollars
which i would say a little
bit expensive for a notebook
but i don't know any other brand who has this like you know
beautiful higher-end notebook
so for that reason this is the I think only option I have to buy
and probably lots of you will agree with that.
So this was the Moleskine 2027 weekly diary
and if you are into like you know notebooks,
pen or this type of stuff I'm going to put the playlist
Just to check you out for more videos.
So thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next video.
