Midori Planner Double Schedule 2027 To Do Light Blue (B6)

The Midori Double Schedule To Do 2027 in B6 combines two complete monthly plans in a single slim notebook – a classic monthly planner and a vertical to-do page for the same month. What makes it special is the patented "Magic Index" system, which uses thumb pressure to decide which page layer opens. The inner paper is Midori MD Paper: a cream-coloured, slightly smooth paper designed for fountain pens. The Light Blue edition features a soft, pale shade that coordinates the cover colour with the index tabs.

Features

• Magic Index: The pages feature coloured grip tabs at the top and bottom edges. Thumb on the upper tab – only monthly planner pages open. Thumb on the lower tab – only to-do pages. Middle white tab – both layers alternate. This keeps a complete monthly planner hidden when you don't need it.
• To-Do Format: The second page layer is laid out as a vertical weekly list – one line per day with checkbox grid, every other week slightly offset. Tasks can be prioritised and ticked off by date without writing in the appointment section.
• MD Paper: Midori's own writing paper – slightly cream-coloured, smooth enough for fine fountain pen nibs, yet firm enough that ink barely bleeds through or feathers. MD Paper is not archival; it's designed for pleasant writing feel rather than permanence.
• Sewn binding: The planner lies flat on the table – even in the middle of the month, where other notebooks would arch. No pressure against the spine when writing at the edges.
• PVC cover with pen loop: The rigid, easily wipeable cover holds firm even without support – on your lap, at a standing desk, whilst standing. The integrated pen loop on the back holds a slim ballpoint or fineliner.
• Bookmark ribbon: A sewn-in ribbon marks the current week without bending pages.
• Duration: October 2026 through December 2027 – with year overviews for 2027 and 2028 at the front and 16 ruled memo pages at the back.

Use & Tips

• Keep work and personal separate: Monthly planner for appointments, to-do page for tasks – or: monthly planner for work, to-do page for household and personal projects. The Magic Index keeps both layers visually separate.
• Fountain pens and fineliners: MD Paper handles broad fountain pen nibs well; even wet inks barely bleed through. Fine to medium nibs (EF to M) give the cleanest writing. Pigment and archival inks adhere well; permanent gel inks or oil-based ballpoint refills can be used if drying speed matters.
• Link tasks to dates: Those who enter appointments in the monthly planner and list related preparation steps on the to-do page can see at a glance (white tab) whether tasks align timewise with the appointment.
• Memo pages as project buffer: The 16 ruled pages at the end are ideal for shopping lists, packing lists or notes that don't belong to a specific day.
• Pen recommendation: The pen loop is designed for slim pens up to approximately 10 mm diameter – a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil, a slim fineliner or a compact ballpoint fit easily.

For Planner Enthusiasts

The Magic Index principle is patented by Midori: the pages of both layers are physically bound alternately, not simply divided in half. This means when you open both layers (white tab), the monthly planner and to-do page for the same month sit directly side by side – one month as a double spread with two completely different information layers. This interlocking is what distinguishes this format from a simple combined notebook: the navigation is mechanically solved, not by bookmarks or dividers.
