Marjolein Delhaas Journal 184 — No. 172

A planner for people who don’t need January to begin.

Journal 184 by Marjolein Delhaas is pocket-sized (A6), bright orange, and quietly confident about it. It doesn’t shout productivity. It just sits there on your desk like a small, optimistic block of colour, waiting for you to decide what happens next.

Inside, the layout is clean and gently structured — subtle calendar markers, plenty of space, nothing overworked. You can start on a Wednesday. Skip a month. Fill three pages in one sitting. It keeps pace with you, not the other way round.

There are 184 pages of smooth 90gsm cradle-to-cradle paper — good weight, no fuss — wrapped in a 300gsm soft cover that feels substantial without being bulky. The Otabind cold-glued binding means it opens properly flat, so it stays put while you write at a café table or half-balanced on the sofa.

It slips easily into a coat pocket or tote, ready for lists, plans, sketches, or the kind of thoughts you don’t trust to your Notes app.
