"Hi there! Kaori from Hidari here.
If you're left-handed, you've probably struggled with planners before. We hear customers say these things all the time:
""My hand always covers the dates when I write.""
""I have to flip through the whole planner backward just to find the right page.""
Sound familiar? You're not alone. Most planners are made with right-handed users in mind, turning simple planning into a daily frustration for lefties.
That's why we created the Hidari Left-Handed Planner. Since 2019, we've been refining this design, and our 2025 edition marks our sixth release. Our goal? A stress-free, intuitive planner made just for left-handers."
Designed for Left-Handers: Three Features You'll Love
Making a planner truly left-handed isn't as simple as flipping the layout. We carefully balanced usability and design to ensure a seamless writing experience. Here are three standout features:
1.Dates in the Top Right Corner
Take a look at most planners—they place the dates in the top left corner. That means if you're left-handed, your writing hand likely covers them as you write.
With the Hidari Left-Handed Planner, we've shifted the dates to the top right so you always have a clear view. A surprising number of customers tell us, ""I never realized how much this bothered me until it stopped happening!""
2. A Weekly Layout That Works for Lefties
We designed our weekly spread with usability in mind: your schedule is on the right, and the memo section is on the left. This setup lets you check your plans while writing notes without lifting your hand or smudging the ink.
3.Opens in the Opposite Direction
If you've ever flipped through a planner backward to find your place, you know the struggle. Our planner is bound to open in a way that feels natural for left-handed users, so you can turn pages effortlessly. Some customers find it surprising at first, but soon they're saying, "Now I can't use any other planner!"
