RocketbookSmart Reusable Notebook, Academic Planner with 13 Page Types, Black, (8.5" x 11")

When trying to figure out what Rocketbook planner I wanted (cause I'm super sold on the concept and already had ordered the multi-subject notebook) it was difficult. Most basic agendas I've bought I've given up using halfway through the year and wasted a lot of money/paper so this is a nicer setup that I can use every year as needed. I struggled a lot with comparing the different rocketbook planners and understanding exactly what pages were featured and in what amounts. Having several calendars and week-to-week pages was important (but different from their everyday planner, I love the college schedule, the project tracker, and mission control page. Though I wish there was more than 1 mission control page) and as a college student, the academic planner has a lot of appeal. I just ordered mid-summer with no classes at the moment, so I can't attest to durability but the notebook feels sturdy and works just as I expected and I do think I made the best choice. To help potential buyers, I've pictured the different page setups and catalogued them. I think I gained some clarity between Amazon and the Rocketbook website descriptions but it was more research than it probably should've been. That being said, here is a hopefully clear breakdown of the page layouts that I've pictured:1 Mission Control page1 Class Schedule page1 Project Tracker page1 Year (2 pages, 6 months each)3 months (6 pages)5 weeks (10 pages)1 Mind Map page1 Priority Matrix page1 Reflection (2 pages)10 lined pages6 dotted pages4 graphing pages3 blank pages

I love this thing. Just what I needed. I think I can do without all those extra pages in the back, but whatever. My only complaint is, that you need to make sure you clean your pages well, or you can leave residue of what was written there before. Almost like a light tattoo of what was written there before. Other than that, it does what it says it does.

I love this planner, but wish there was more information of how many pages of each (for example, how many pages of the daily pages were there).

This planner was life changing for me! Sounds dramatic, I know, but the ability to have information I need for my day, week and month in one place that can easily be changed and updated with a damp cloth makes coordinating my workday so much easier.It is worth noting that the ink takes time to dry and smudges easily if you turn the page when it’s still wet. You are only able to use a very specific pen for this. Also, there are not any pockets in the planner to carry loose paper which would be convenient to have.

I love Rocketbook products -- they are the only good solution out there to be eco-friendly and still be able to take notes/plan/keep track of things with paper and pen!.I love the planner because I used to feel guilty about buying yearly planners and only using them for a few months in the year... But now I can keep this one product forever and use it whenever I need to!My only issue is that there was too much plastic used for the packaging... I feel that since the product is meant to be environmentally conscious, the shipping and packing should be as well. But once they figure that out, I would really have zero complaints!

Ok. Initially, this sounded like a good idea—what with the reusable aspect of the planner. I have used a rocketbook in the past and it was worth the archivability as well as the prolonged use of the same notebook.As a college professor, with this planner—to which I was alerted by the company’s e-mail—I saw an easier way to organize the semester when planning out a course for each term. I usually change appearances, even for the same type of class, between semesters, so, the chance to save on wasted blank pages or blank calendar pages printed from some online site seemed optimal for reducing waste.Alas, this version of the planner only offers three months’ worth of blank month pages—while six would be ideal, five minimum would be fine enough for planning a semester while being able to look at it at a glance in its entirety while outlining a term’s worth of assignments and deadlines.I do not want to refer between an electronic version of three months of the term and this physical version of the other two months in laying out the general structure of a course. I will have to make the pages templates themselves and make it semester length for electronic use as a whole rather than the preferred ‘pen and paper’ sort of approach rocketbook promises. When I could have simply done that from the beginning without using this fancy, albeit user-friendly enough, notebook.For now, seems better suited for those who plan in short time bursts for each part of their academic year.The other features work, weekly planner, goals, and other templates that are conducive to academic success and structure—but for this user it is not a good fit..Thanks anyway. Back to paper waste to plan the upcoming semester. Whether that will be actual paper or electronic remains to be seen.Would like to see a few more blank months added in the next edition.

Love it!!!

I have been using Rocketbooks for over a year now for my uni notes. After developing my own system of taking notes and scanning them, I find them perfect for my needs.This particular planner does have a lot of pages I would never use, even as a uni student. It makes me wish that they had gone lighter on the blank calenders and added more of the note-taking pages. However, there are enough of them that you should easily be able to take notes for a few days before uploading. I use OneNote for storing my scanned notes, and I take advantage of the brilliant OCR in the Rocketbook app to add alt text and search terms for each note.The one major disadvantage of the Rocketbook system is the expense of Frixion pens and refills. I do find that the felt tip ones last longer, but they aren't as easily refilled. But overall, I save on buying traditional pens and paper that I used to buy each year, and as long as the books remain usable for a few years (which they appear to be holding up well. I think it's better for the environment as a step stone between paper and ink and totally electronic notetaking (which I find as less effective).

This is my second Rocketbook, I have fusion and love it. I decided to get the academic one as I am a teacher. I love the size and number of pages however I was very disappointed that one of the pages has been inserted upside down. As this is reusable it is an issue as I will come across it over and over again.

A really good way to reduce the amount of paper you use. A great way to catalogue your notes so it's easier to find them to look back on. My handwriting is awful so the auto recognition is not the best.

I have several Rocketbooks and really love them. However this one I am disapointed with because one of the diary pages has been put in upside down. I returned one academic planner for this reason, but the second one I ordered is exactly the same. Not great quality control for the price.
