01
For detailed scheduling and more writing space: REGULAR A5
The weekly section uses a two-days-per-page layout, with four pages for each week. Every day includes a vertical timeline from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m., making it ideal for meetings, work sessions, classes, shifts and other time-specific plans. The 3.5mm grid beside the timeline also provides space for work notes, lists, journal entries and everyday thoughts.
Choose between two calendar editions:
- Taiwan Holiday Edition: includes Taiwan public holidays, lunar dates and the 24 solar terms.
- English Edition: calendar and weekday information are presented in English, without Taiwan public holidays, lunar dates or solar terms.
REGULAR A5 - Who is it for?
Best for
- You have several appointments each day and need a clear timeline.
- You like adding work or personal notes beside your schedule.
- You mainly use your planner at a desk or in another regular workspace.
- You want one main planner for the entire year.
May not be the best fit if
You only need a quick weekly overview, write very little each day or place a high priority on carrying the lightest possible planner.
02
For everyday carry without giving up a complete planning system: MINI A6
MINI A6 brings the annual plan, monthly plan and two-days-per-page weekly layout of REGULAR into a more compact A6 format. It still provides four pages for each week, with a timeline from 6:00 a.m. to midnight. It is well suited to commuting, travel and anyone who often writes in different places.
The finer 3mm grid makes it easier to arrange text, symbols and small lists within the compact page. The 2027 edition includes Taiwan public holidays, lunar dates and solar terms. Some pages that previously used Chinese weekday labels now use bilingual labels or English weekday abbreviations.
MINI A6 - Who is it for?
Best for
- You want a planner that fits easily into a small bag.
- You still need a timeline and dedicated writing space for each day.
- You write relatively small or prefer concise notes.
- You need Taiwan public holidays, lunar dates and solar terms.
May not be the best fit if
You write in large lettering, use a lot of collage elements or need to record extensive meeting notes every day.
03
For a full weekly overview and plenty of note pages: MEDIUM WEEKS B6
MEDIUM WEEKS B6 is designed for people who think in weeks but still want generous note space. It has no fixed hourly timeline, and each spread shows an entire week. Three subtle sections at the top of each day can represent morning, afternoon and evening, or categories you define yourself, such as schedule, tasks and notes.
A larger grid area below the weekly layout can be used for habit tracking, short journal entries, work priorities, photographs or collage. An additional 78 functional grid note pages at the back are ideal for meetings, projects, reading notes and anything that does not belong to a specific date.
MEDIUM WEEKS B6 - Who is it for?
Best for
- You want to see the entire week on one spread.
- Your schedule does not need to be planned hour by hour.
- You want your planner to double as a substantial notebook.
- A5 feels too large, while A6 feels too small.
- You enjoy tracking moon phases or reviewing life one week at a time.
May not be the best fit if
You rely on hourly time blocking or need Taiwan public holidays, lunar dates and solar terms.
04
For seeing two weeks at once and carrying as little as possible: SLIM BIWEEK
SLIM BIWEEK places one week on each page, so an open spread shows two weeks at once. Fine lines divide each day into three subtle sections. Use them for morning, afternoon and evening, or for work, personal plans and tasks.
At 11 × 21 cm and approximately 82g, this Traveler's Notebook size works on its own or alongside other inserts in a Traveler's Notebook. Its lightweight 52gsm Tomoe River S paper holds a complete set of weekly pages for 2027 while keeping the planner slim, with an additional 18 functional grid note pages.
SLIM BIWEEK - Who is it for?
Best for
- You only need to record a few appointments, tasks or a single sentence each day.
- You carry your planner often and care about weight and thickness.
- You prefer planning the next two weeks at once.
- You already use a Traveler's Notebook system.
- You want to start using a planner without feeling pressured by too much space.
May not be the best fit if

Still deciding between two formats?
MADE FOR WRITING
Thin and lightweight, so a full year remains easy to carry.
REGULAR A5, MINI A6 and MEDIUM WEEKS B6 use 68gsm white Tomoe River S paper. To hold a full year of weekly pages while keeping weight to a minimum, SLIM BIWEEK uses 52gsm Tomoe River S paper. The smooth surface works beautifully with fountain pens, pencils and ballpoint pens.
FAQ
Common questions before you choose.
For your first TAKE A NOTE planner, we recommend starting with the two-days-per-page weekly format available in A5 and A6. Choose A5 if you want a complete time-management system or more writing space. Choose A6 if portability matters more and your planning needs are relatively simple.
If you need to schedule meetings, work sessions and daily tasks, REGULAR A5 provides the most generous space and the most complete timeline. If your work revolves around meeting notes, project information and weekly priorities, and you do not need hourly markers, MEDIUM WEEKS B6 may be a better fit.
REGULAR A5 Taiwan Holiday Edition and MINI A6 include Taiwan public holidays, lunar dates and solar terms. REGULAR A5 English Edition, MEDIUM WEEKS B6 and SLIM BIWEEK do not.
Both include annual, monthly and two-days-per-page weekly planning, with four pages for each week. The main differences are size, grid spacing and timeline: A5 uses a 3.5mm grid and continues to 3:00 a.m.; A6 uses a 3mm grid and continues to midnight.
MEDIUM WEEKS B6 shows one week across two pages, offers more writing space and includes 78 functional grid note pages. SLIM BIWEEK places one week on each page, showing two weeks across a spread. At approximately 82g, it is better suited to recording essential plans and carrying every day.
