Quo Vadis Life Journal Infinite Review

I have always loved planners. I was the 8th grader sitting in class writing down every assignment in my planner in color-coded gel pens. I was super excited when I got this Quo Vadis Life Journal Infinite planner in the mail from Execlair, and immediately started writing in it. It was actually great timing since I just finished the last planner I was using.

This planner comes in few different colors, I have the purple which you can find in stock at Goulet Pens, or you can find the black version at Vanness Pens.

Size:

This planner measures 6 x 8 1/4 inches. It has a gold bookmark, elastic closure, and an Italian-faux leather cover with gold detailing.

The paper is 90 gsm white Clairfontaine with dot grid ruling and 224 numbered pages.

Index:

The first 5 pages are a lined index, with spaces for page numbers, subject and date.

Annual Overview:

Pages 2-3 have a pre-printed layout for a yearly schedule by month. I haven’t filled in these two pages yet, but I think they would be good for keeping track of birthdays and important dates.

Monthly:

The rest of the planner rotates through different layouts. There is one monthly spread, 5 weekly spreads and two spreads for notes, and the pattern repeats. I’ve been using this monthly spread to plan out blog posts.

Weekly:

The weekly spread has room to write in each day and then leaves a big space on the bottom right for notes or to-dos. I wasn’t sure quite what to do with it, and ended up using the space to write down currently inked pens, you can see some examples below. I cross-out things as I get them done, so my planner always looks messy. I found the weekly layout really helpful, I’ve been using them to track workouts, homework assignments, blog to-do’s, kids’ activities and general things I don’t want to forget. I love that the pages aren’t dated so if I skip a week I don’t have to leave pages blank.

The paper handled every fountain pen I tried on it, and even handled markers well, no issues with feathering or bleeding. I didn’t love using pencils on it since it is a coated paper. I did have some issues using highlighters over written words, they ended up smudging or smearing, but that’s due to the coating on the paper. If you want to use highlighters, I would highlight first then write on top.

Overall, I’m really impressed with this planner. It has some of my favorite features: white paper, page numbers, dot grid, and handles fountain pens well. It’s one I plan to keep using for the rest of this year.
