Luddite Function Parallel Planner
A structured hybrid between a weekly planner and a mini-Gantt chart.
The Parallel Planner allows you to visualise overlapping projects across the week: horizontal bars for long tasks on one side, a vertical weekly timeline on the other.
It is designed for people balancing several work and life strands at once.
Specifications
- Size: A5 (148 × 210 mm)
- Pages: 64 (undated)
- Paper: white woodfree paper
- Binding: saddle-stitched booklet
- Layout: Gantt-style progress chart with vertical Monday-start weekly scheduler
Woodfree paper is a popular choice of Japanese planners. It is a high-grade, acid-free, chemically pulped paper, suitable for general writing and light fountain pen use, though not as heavy or coated as specialist fountain pen papers like Tomoe River or OK Fools.
The Parallel Planner is good for studio production, multi-client work, and planning content or travel timelines in parallel.
