Leip told Alizila in 2017 that Lyme disease and two concussions had left him struggling to work, and that he combined a journal with a morning routine drawn from positive psychology. That routine became the Panda's daily page. ## Panda Planner Classic specs | Spec | Value | |---|---| | Size | 5.25 × 8.25 in (133 × 210 mm) per Panda; 5.75 × 8.25 in per Amazon | | Lasts | 3 months (about 90 days) | | Dating | Undated | | Sections | Daily, weekly and monthly views | | Paper | 100 gsm (Amazon) | | Binding | Sewn (Amazon) | | Cover | Vegan leather hardcover | | Colours | Black, Orange, Cyan, Purple, Blue, Raspberry Sorbet | Panda's store listed the Classic at US$24.99 on October 22, 2026, which puts it in our $$$ band ($20–75). The two size figures differ by half an inch in width; we draw Panda's own. ## What's on a Panda Planner daily page? **A morning review first, then the day's priorities and schedule.** Leip described the morning part as three things you're grateful for, three things you're excited about and a self-affirmation; Amazon's listing adds an hourly schedule, a to-do list, a habit tracker and reflection prompts. ![Panda Planner Classic structure: monthly view with focus and daily habits, weekly view with projects broken into steps, and a daily page with morning review, priorities, schedule and reflection](https://stationerytimes.com/images/panda-planner-classic-structure.svg) *How the month, week and day connect; block positions drawn by eye from Panda's descriptions.* The weekly view asks you to break current projects into small steps, which become the daily priorities. The monthly view sets a focus and one daily habit, with an "H" box to tick each day you do it, per Panda. ## Panda Classic, Pro or weekly: which should you choose? **The Classic for a portable daily planner; the Pro for more room per day; the weekly Panda Planner if you plan by week.** | | Classic | Pro | Weekly | |---|---|---|---| | Lasts | 3 months | 6 months | 12 months | | Size | 5.25 × 8.25 in | 8.5 × 11 in | Not compared here | | Layout | Daily + weekly + monthly | Daily + weekly + monthly | Weekly + monthly | If you like the gratitude prompts but don't need a planner, the [Five Minute Journal](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/five-minute-journal/) does just that part. For a task-first three-month book, compare the [Intelligent Change Productivity Planner](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/intelligent-change-productivity-planner/). ## Is the Panda Planner Classic an ADHD planner? **Its Amazon listing now calls it an ADHD planner, but Panda makes no medical claim for it.** The pitch is structure: a fixed morning routine, a short priority list and an undated book that doesn't punish missed days, which is what many people with attention difficulties look for. ADDitude magazine's online store also carries the Panda Planner. If a three-month daily book feels like too much writing, a weekly layout such as the [Legend Planner](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/legend-planner-undated-weekly/) asks for less each day. ## What colours does it come in? **Six on Panda's store: Black, Orange, Cyan, Purple, Blue and Raspberry Sorbet.** Only the cover changes. We draw the Orange here. ## How popular is the Panda Planner? **Very: its main Amazon US listing had 11,168 ratings and ranked No. 373 in Planners on October 22, 2026.** In 2017 Leip told Alizila the Panda was then Amazon's No. 1 best seller in personal organizers. ## Where is the Panda Planner made? **Panda's current pages don't say; in 2017 its founder said it was made in China.** Leip told Alizila that US production was too expensive, so he found Chinese manufacturers through Alibaba.com and switched suppliers several times to improve quality.
