A More Affordable Way to Plan with Intention
This Seconds Edition of the Rātaka 2026 B5 Daily Planner is perfect for those who want the full daily planning experience at a reduced price and don’t mind a few cosmetic imperfections on the cover.
These planners are fully functional and complete. The interior pages, layout, and cultural content are identical to the standard Black Koru edition. The only difference is the matte black cover has visible surface marks — such as light scratches or dust/rub marks — that show up more clearly on this finish and cannot be fully removed.
If you’re looking for an everyday planner for personal use, work, study, or budgeting — and you love a good bargain — this Seconds Edition is a great option.
About These Seconds
The imperfections relate only to the outer cover. Each planner may have one or more of the following:
- Light scratches visible under natural or bright light
- Dust or rub marks that cannot be fully removed
- Minor handling marks from storage or packing
Because the matte black finish highlights these small flaws, they are considered seconds.
The inside is completely unaffected.

What the Rātaka Represents
Rātaka relates to the movement of the sun — Rā (Tamanuiterā) and taka (to rotate).
This planner mirrors that daily cycle, helping you move through each day with clarity, balance, and purpose — even if your cover comes with a few character marks on the outside.
The intention and depth of the Rātaka remain unchanged.
