Exploring Planners: Papertess Designs
As we get ready for 2025, we’re still on the lookout for the “perfect planner.” When in reality, we know that doesn’t exist. However, I came across this amazing planner company, Papertess Designs, browsing on late night Instagram, of course. Papertess Designs offers a wide variety of planners and notebooks ranging from but not limited to B5, A5, A5 Slim, B6, A6, Pocket, Weekly.
I decided on the Chapter ’25-The Yearly Notebook-Edition 2025 and the Weekly Notebook-2025 Edition so let’s take a look at my top two key features:
First, let’s take a look at the Weekly Notebook 2025 Edition. One of the key features of this planner that I really enjoy is the multi-section design weekly layout. Although this is a dated planner, this feature allows for easy organization based on your specific needs, whether it’s tasks, appointments, or notes. It makes it easier to prioritize and visualize your week at a glance. A second key feature is its lay flat design, which enhances its usability making it easier to draw, write, and take notes without it closing. We all know that this can be hard to achieve with some planners, but Papertess Designs masters this capability beautifully.

Now moving on to the A6 Chapter ’25-The Yearly Notebook-Edition 2025. One of the key features that caught my attention when purchasing was the one page weekly layout designed for you to see all tasks or prioritizations on one page. This feature makes this planner incredibly functional and flexible, allowing you to organize your time effectively. The following 7 pages are undated. This feature allows you to be creative, using it for sketching, brainstorming or journaling. The second key feature that I found astonishing is its compact design by including undated pages after the weekly layout, making it easy to utilize without sacrificing its functionality. No more flipping from the front to the back trying to find pages that are hard to find.
