Dates on the Right Side
In all our calendars—yearly, monthly, and weekly—the dates are positioned in the upper right-hand corner so they won’t be obscured by your left hand as you write.
Reversed Weekly Schedule and Memo Pages
We’ve flipped the traditional weekly planner layout by placing the calendar page on the right and the memo page on the left. This layout makes it much easier to take notes while checking your schedule because you don’t need to move your hand away to see the date.
Pages Open from Left to Right
Unlike standard planners, the pages in our planner open from left to right, allowing you to use your left thumb to flip through the pages from the beginning of the book.

Additionally, Hidari planners are designed with ample space on each page, allowing for ease of use whether you’re jotting down notes, sketching, or planning your day.

Hidari’s left-handed planners are hardbound and designed to reduce hand strain by laying flat when opened, eliminating the discomfort left-handed people often face with traditional spiral or ring-style bindings. The lay-flat format allows lefties to write across the entire page without their hand being blocked by the spine. They also feature thick, high-quality paper that minimizes smudging, preventing ink from transferring onto the hand as you write. These planners eliminate the need for awkward hand positioning, allowing lefties to write naturally without added strain or discomfort.
Hidari planners feature a hardbound, lay-flat binding, which is ideal for left-handed users. This binding style allows the planner to open fully and completely flat on the surface, offering an unobstructed writing space. While ring-style planners can often interfere with a left-handed writer’s hand, Hidari planners eliminate this issue with their seamless binding and lay-flat design. The high-quality binding ensures durability and ease of use throughout the planner’s lifespan.
Hidari’s planners are specifically designed for left-handed users. Their layouts, binding styles, and page designs cater to the natural flow of writing for left-handed people. While right-handed users can technically use these planners, the design and features are optimized to solve the unique challenges left-handed writers face. As a result, Hidari planners offer an exceptional experience tailored to the needs of lefties.
Left-handed people often encounter difficulties when using standard planners, such as writing around uncomfortable bindings and dealing with ink smudging as their hand moves across the page.

These features help left-handed individuals stay organized without the typical inconveniences caused by regular planners.
