Frequently asked questions about diaries
Which diary is the best for 2027?
It depends on the layout: for a week with goals and priorities, the weekview Business Planner 2027 A5+ (from €32.95); for lots of note space, the Leuchtturm1917 Weekly Planner & Notebook (from €22.50); for a week plus daily pages, the weekview LifeCoach 2027 (from €34.80); for something compact, the weekview compact note 2027 (from €22.95).
What is the difference between a diary and an appointment planner?
A diary is a calendar bound in book form. "Appointment planner" describes the purpose. Many diaries are appointment planners with an hourly grid, for example the weekview Business Planner with a grid from 6 am to 8 pm.
Which diary has an hourly grid?
The weekview Business Planner 2027 A5+ (6 am–8 pm), the Business Planner Pro A4 (6 am–9 pm) and the LifeCoach 2027 on its daily pages (7 am–8 pm).
Which diary has the thickest paper?
The Häfft Chäff-Timer uses 100 gsm, the weekview Business Planner A5+ 90 gsm Cordier Fly 05, ink-resistant and extra white. Leuchtturm1917 uses 80 gsm, Moleskine 70 gsm.
Is there a diary with one day per page?
Yes, for example the undated weekview DayBook with one day on a double page (€9.95), or classic day-per-page diaries from stationery shops.
Are weekview diaries suitable for Austria and Switzerland too?
Yes. The dated weekview 2027 calendars (Business Planner, compact note, compact extended, Business and Personal inserts, X17 and LifeCoach) include the public holidays for Germany and Austria. The holiday planner shows the school holidays in Germany. We ship from Munich to Austria and Switzerland. In Austria you can also buy weekview via Amazon.de.
