Levenger 2009 Junior Size Daily Planner and Calendar
By
A few weeks ago I had to start figuring out what I would do in terms of a calendar or planner for next year, so naturally I found that my first instinct was to head over to the Levenger site and poke around. After spending some time there and at a few other sites I decided that for 2009 I will be using a Levenger Circa Junior Size Daily Planner and Calendar. The layout is pretty simple, yet it offers plenty of space for all of my needs, even in the smaller junior size of 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″. The flexibility of the Circa system makes it quick and simple to take these calendar pages out as needed and put them into my larger letter size Levenger notebook if I know I am going to be traveling and only want to bring a few days worth of pages instead of the entire planner.
This is a “one page per day” style planner, but technically there are two pages I guess. The first three pages of the calendar contain a one page view of 2008, 2009, and 2010 in a monthly format. On the left side of each daily page you have a nicely laid out 7AM to 7PM (in 1/2 hour increments) scheduler, with a notes section below it that has 7 lines for you to work with. On the right side of each daily page, there is a full page “Things To Do” checklist with 24 blank spaces for your entries. Below this you will find another notes section with 7 blank lines, identical to the previous page. If you continue reading this post on the next page, there are some pictures of the calendar pages.
The calendar pages are sold in quarterly packages from Levenger, and they are the same quality as the rest of their notebook paper. It is also worth noting that on the packaging of the paper, it is clearly indicated that it is “Fountain Pen Friendly” and I have done my own testing to determine that there is hardly any bleed through when using a Fountain Pen with this paper.
In addition to just the calendar pages, I think it is probably fairly clear that I’m using some sort of cover to hold this all together, so I will post a separate review of the cover, and also of the nice wood stand that I recently purchased to go with it.
Of course if you are not interested in shelling out money for a fancy Levenger planner, you could always go the simple route and pick up the Amazon.com best selling Sarah Palin 2009 Calendar

Thanks for stopping by my blog, especially since I now know of your wonderful site! I’ll be going through your archives, there is so much great stuff here.
Thanks for the nice comments Sarah, glad you enjoy the site and I look forward to having you come back often.
That is the same one I bought for 2009! I am loving it! Instead of the leather cover I picked up the red cloth covered one. It is stunning! I am so glad to have found another Levenger lover!
Suzanne – The bookcloth ones are very nice, I reviewed them here

I just decided to switch to the leather because my black bookcloth one collected too much lint.
It seems that there are more and more Levenger fans every day. Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you back.
A whole blog dedicated to office supplies… this is more fun than going to Staples!
I LOVE my leather planner cover – it feels so nice and looks so elegant!
Janet, thanks for stopping by, and I’m glad you enjoy the site. Hope to see you back soon.
WOW! What a great blog! Thanks for the review. I have several Levenger fountain pens and was looking for a calendar that would allow me to use them without leaking through. I just ordered a circa sampler and fell in love with it. Levenger products are amazing- I am a huge fan. Have a great day and keep writing.
@Kelly Seltzer – Glad you found the review (and the blog) helpful. It is amazing how quickly you can get addicted to all of the great Levenger products.
Loving your newly discovered blog! Great coverage of my office supplies obsession!
@Tee – Glad you are enjoying it, thanks for commenting!
