- JDJohn D.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoPuts my mini-field journal to good use.
I've found Lochby's A5 sized planner notebooks to be the ideal setup for me and I've probably used up half a dozen or more of those by now. When I finally treated myself to the mini-field journal setup I found that these 3.5" x 5.5" planners are no different. Since they're so compact you won't find them COMPLETELY identical to the A5 ones (for instance they don't have the monthly two page calendar spreads in the first few pages like the bigger ones do) but they make up for it in their handy size. I realize that "everyone makes pocket sized planners" but try finding one in this same size with Tomoe River paper, and in a format that doesn't lock you into being forced to use it for a specific year only. The same little planner does the same job this year that it did in 2025, and it's one more useful component of what has become the "multi-tool of pocket journals".
LOCHBY1 month agoWe really appreciate you taking the time to share this. It’s great to hear the pocket planner has been such a natural fit alongside your A5 setup, especially in the Mini Field Journal. We put a lot of thought into keeping the format flexible and reusable instead of tied to a specific year, given the premium Tomoe River paper, so it’s awesome seeing that resonate in real-world use. Thanks for your continued support and for making Lochby part of your everyday carry setup!
- JDJames D.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoI love these notebooks!
These notebooks are well made and the paper is a dream come true. As a lefty this paper enables me to write without smudging or getting ink on my hand. I love that 4 fit easily in my mini journal, and that they are priced affordable.

I'm a Lochby convert, particularly with A6-sized everything, especially the Pocket-Planner - it's fantastic. Whether you're a Lochby person or not, I certainly couldn't find a better A6 calendar planner out there...and I looked! If you want a non-digital vault for managing the things going on in your life, and you like A6-sized notebooks, this is hard to beat.

I used this notebook for entries I make daily but are not task oriented. I prefer the monthly journal format for recording daily tasks, to-do’s and reminders. The info here makes me less dependent on electronic devices for spontaneous needs .
