DESCRIPTION
A weekly planner can be a valuable tool for keeping track of a busy schedule and all that stuff that needs to get done. Developed from their lay flat Steno notebook, Field Notes have made a durable 56 Week Planner that looks great, feels just right, and will hold up to years’ worth of your busy life.
Featuring blank weeks, meaning you can start the planner at any time of the year or use it for specific projects without being tied to a single year. The 56 Week format also means you have adequate overlap for replacing the planner when you fill this one up!
Sized at 4¾" x 7½", it has a more durable 60pt. chipboard cover and lay-flat “Double-O” wire binding. 112 Pages of Finch 70# text paper are marked with one blank week per spread, ready to fill with your next 56 weeks of appointments, meetings, notes, or even brief journal/daily log entries.

PROVENANCE AND ETHICS
“I’m not writing it down to remember it later, I’m writing it down to remember it now.”
Inspired by the vanishing sub-genre of agricultural memo books, ornate pocket ledgers, and the simple, unassuming beauty of a well-crafted grocery list, the Draplin Design Company of Portland and Coudal Partners, a Chicago creative firm, have created Field Notes Brand, a collection of smartly-designed, vintage-styled pocket notebooks, calendars, and various office accoutrements.
From the very beginning, every Field Notes paper product has been manufactured in the U.S.A. From the paper, sourced from some of the finest mills in the Midwest, to even the inks used, the production of Field Notes has never required travel on a cargo ship or plane.
