This planner is THE ONE (for me anyway)! After trying the daily planner and the notion version, I decided to try this one. I use the Minimalist as a work planner and wow--it has been a game changer. I mostly use the monthly and weekly views. I use the left side for appointments (would love lines on this side too--maybe for next year's release?!) and reminders/deadlines/to do's on the checklist side. I use the monthly views for events and misc deadlines that do not occur regularly. I love all the extra lines/space for notes, etc.
