A Compact Planner to Accompany You All Year Some notebooks are simply for jotting down notes, while others become companions throughout an entire year. The MINI Planner belongs to the latter. Continuing TAKE A NOTE’s minimalist design philosophy, it embodies “The Perfect Rhythm for Thinking and Writing.” The A6 size is lightweight and portable, perfect for those with fewer appointments or those who prefer to use it as a daily journal or reflection diary. Recognized with the GOOD DESIGN AWARD The TAKE A NOTE REGULAR PLANNER was awarded Japan’s Good Design Award, and the MINI version carries forward the same design spirit. The jury highlighted how the subtle grid layout keeps the information-rich planner visually clear, while allowing users to either follow the structure in detail or customize it freely. This balance of order and flexibility is central to TAKE A NOTE’s planners. Premium Paper for Smooth Writing The MINI uses 68gsm Tomoe River S paper from Japan. Lightweight, smooth, and resistant to bleed-through, it works beautifully with fountain pens, pencils, and gel pens. Each page turn offers both reliability and a refined writing experience. Tighter 3mm Grid Design With its 3mm grid, the MINI maximizes efficiency in its compact pages. Perfect for concise notes, short reflections, task lists, or small sketches, it balances clarity and flexibility even in limited space. Lay-Flat Binding for Effortless Writing The exposed-thread binding allows the planner to open completely flat at 180 degrees. Whether on a small café table or a corner of your desk, it’s always ready to write without fighting the binding. TAKE A NOTE’s Original Weekly Layout The MINI inherits the award-winning layout: mini monthly calendar, mini weekly calendar, two-day-per-page format, and a vertical timeline. Rich in information yet visually clear, it keeps your schedule organized with ease. New for 2026: In the vertical timeline, the previous 12:00–1:00 lunch block has been removed, replaced with a subtle line at 12:00 noon for greater flexibility. In the MINI, the timeline covers 6:00 AM to 12:00 midnight, aligning more closely with typical daily routines. Monthly and Weekly Planning Structure Monthly Plans: Includes 16 months, covering late 2025 to early 2027, with page references linking monthly and weekly sections for easy navigation. Holiday and Calendar Information: Both monthly and weekly pages clearly mark Taiwan national holidays, the lunar calendar, and solar terms, but the language is presented in English, making it accessible for international users. Weekly Plans: Two days per page, four pages per week, with a vertical timeline from 6:00 AM to 12:00 midnight. Whether early meetings or late-night reflections, there’s space to capture it all. Each spread also includes mini monthly and mini weekly calendars. Weekday Display: Days are displayed in English (Mon–Sun). Organized Index System Numbered pages support indexing methods like bullet journaling, making it easier to track scattered notes and transform the planner into a personal knowledge management tool. Special Gift: 2026 Letterpress Bookmark Card Each MINI A6 includes a 2026 Letterpress Bookmark Card. With elegant printing that displays the full year, it’s both a practical tool and a collectible memento. A Quiet and Reliable Companion This A6 MINI Planner is more than just a scheduling tool—it’s a quiet, reliable companion. It offers structure without restriction, records your present while leaving room for your thoughts to grow. As time flows across these pages, you’ll see it’s not just a planner, but a rhythm and a landscape to accompany you through the seasons.
