Monticello Planner Refill Two Pages Per Day (Monarch)

In this review the Franklin Covey Monticello Planner Refill (Monarch, Jan 2026 - Dec 2026) proves itself as a practical choice for people who rely on a paper system to manage a busy life. The single biggest reason to buy is the spacious two-pages-per-day layout, which gives room for appointments, a prioritized task list and a daily tracker all on the same spread. The Monarch size offers generous writing space while the familiar Franklin Covey elements keep priorities clear, so it works well as a year-long core for an intentional planner setup.

Key Features

• Two pages per day: Provides ample room to record appointments, jot detailed notes and track daily priorities without crowding.
• Prioritized Daily Task List: Keeps the day's most important actions visible so users can focus on what matters first.
• Daily Tracker: Lets users monitor habits or progress within the same daily spread for better time management.
• Monarch size format: At roughly 8.5 in by 11 in the refill gives generous writing area for professionals and students who need detailed entries.
• Ring-bound and pre-punched: Seven pre-punched holes make it easy to insert into a Monarch binder and swap pages year to year.
• Made in the USA with premium materials: Durable paper and construction ensure the refill holds up through a full year of daily use.

Who It's For

The Monticello refill is best for planners who prefer a full paper system and need space to combine appointments, a prioritized task list and notes on one spread. Professionals, project managers and people tracking multiple daily commitments will appreciate the two-page-per-day layout and the large Monarch format.

Those who want a compact, pocket-size planner or a digital-first solution should look elsewhere; this refill is optimized for users who accept a larger ring-bound format and want a full year of printed pages with classic Franklin Covey layout features.
