this week's spread at the beginning of the week vs after last night! it's messier than id like but i think that's the realistic part of having a planner that's used everyday.
as badly as i want a hobonichi from everything ive been seeing online, i couldn't justify the price in the event that i.... didnt actually use it. however the kinbor techos are almost the same setup and only cost $10-20 each rather than $40-80 😭 so if it goes well, then maybe i will allow myself to invest in a hobonichi next year. the weekly is for schedule/to-do/planning and the daily is for journaling and documenting my every day :]
i've been recovering from the brutal fall semester of MS2 😭 and now we're straight back into the new spring term. i have my STEP 1 date now April 7 !! and i'm panicking and nervous 😬 cuz the practice test yesterday was Brutal. now i'm not sure if taking it at the beginning of dedicated is worth it. 😭 i'm gonna do a social media detox/cleanse and delete most things off my phone until i take STEP. my u🌏 app is about to become my most used and my best friend. i will try to be more active for accountability's sake but if i cannot post on here, i shall use my friends to hold me accountable haha. that's all my updates for now. 🫡

My Journaling Set-Up (As of Late)⭐️
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/4b07db88b07614ffdcc0d61d355568b8/5683ce25a321a5d0-d9/s540x810/82ec59a199cd48c6c721c1090bdef39358cf99f4.jpg)
hi friends! ~
i have finally sat down to talk about how i journal. i get tons of questions related to my journals in my inbox, so i wqnted to dedicate a post talking about my three main journals - my diary, my planner, and my commonplace book. thanks so much for your patience, i hope this post will be helpful! 🤎
my journal/dairy
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6beeaaee1f81ebabc0abf466741ac2a8/5683ce25a321a5d0-83/s540x810/86b3078a6c0e52af07c61c583388bfc19fad876a.jpg)
this is my regular travelers notebook, which i use for daily journaling! i tend to make small collages in the corners, using stickers, scrap paper, or mementos from my day. i write about my day, usually in the morning or right before bed. some entries will be short, and some others are much longer. i like to write everyday but i do occasionally miss days. my favorite insert is the dotted insert from travelers company!
my planner
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/acbf56bcc66b753e6987994051dfedc1/5683ce25a321a5d0-30/s540x810/76d4212395acfff08ad9631dfca0dfcebcbebca5.jpg)
for planning, i’ve been using my passport travelers notebook. since its summer, i have found this to be the perfect size! i use this undated weekly insert from travelers company, and i split each day in half. the left side is for any events or reminders, and the right side is for tasks. i plan on continuing this set up when i return to grad school in the fall, but i’ll use a blank insert for my to-do’s since i’ll have more tasks. i always keep a muji pen in the loop for jotting down tasks on the go! i tend to keep the pages minimalistic, so i’ll sometimes use a stamp or a sticker to spice the pages up.
my commonplace
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/fb7b5902227f1792e125192998abb1e3/5683ce25a321a5d0-aa/s540x810/777b7bf0117569d0e46b49ac5bcc18fd70c6a9c2.jpg)
ah my commonplace book! i get the most questions about this, rightfully so because commonplacing can be very stress-inducing. i should start off by saying that i don’t use my commonplace book in the traditional sense. the term derives from the process of copying down passages with the intention of compiling others thoughts and writings. i use this method, but i almost always incorporate my own thoughts on what i’m reading and writing down. i can’t help it!
this notebook is the midori dotted a5, and i use the midori paper cover. i have a very loose indexing/categorizing system at the moment; green is for reading, purple is for my writing, and yellow is for etc. i use a graphite pencil to draw a light line in between entries. i commonplace the most about books and articles that i read, and then i love to do more long-form journaling and writing in here as opposed to my travelers notebook. i found myself overthinking my indexing system, which led me to not use this notebook in fears of messing up. my #1 advice would be to just start using your notebook, and index/categorize your entries as you go! the best notebook is the one that is used.
that’s it for my current journaling system! i seem to be in a good groove, so i’m hoping i stick with it. i’m more than happy to answer any questions you may have. happy journaling friends 💌

I would love to know more about your journal system and how you use them.
Hello there, sweet soul. Thank you for your interest in my journal system.
I currently have three books in use: i. Hobonichi Weeks ii. Leuchtturm1917 Pocket iii. Leuchtturm1917 A5
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1b9fb30e582ff70e4abee621d94dbc96/c515b4d32c3f9fc5-b6/s540x810/091ad7b9af531794d1193d289b69883ce5b839c4.jpg)
⋆⋅ ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ ⋅⋆
Hobonichi Weeks
The Hobonichi Weeks is my planner. The weekly layout works really well for my weekly and daily to-do lists.
Fun fact: A lovely friend told me about how she calls her to-dos “main quests” and “side quests”—I’ve been adapting this genius idea and, ever since, life feels a little less of a burden.
⋆⋅ ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ ⋅⋆
Leuchtturm1917 Pocket
This one is an experiment. Since my A5 journal is too big to carry around, I introduced the pocket size into my setup. Its main purpose is to accompany me on the go, so that I always have a notebook on hand wherever I go, whenever I’d need to. It gives me comfort in a way and comes in quite handy, to be honest. The pages are being filled with whatever I want to fill them; there really are no limitations or rules.
I’ve also started experimenting with manifestations. So, in the morning, usually while having my morning coffee, I sit down and write down some manifestations for the day • to set the mood for what’s to come, to eventually be able to welcome good omens into my days since I realised I need a certain openness to be able to welcome good things into my life. It’s been working pleasantly so far—I really enjoy the habit of sitting down in the morning, setting the mood for the day.
⋆⋅ ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ ⋅⋆
Leuchtturm1917 A5
This is the main book of them all; this one is really dear to my heart. Its purpose is to record my (daily) life, collect memories, and document what interests me at various points in time. It’s a mixture of daily journal entries, spreads about special events, copied articles that intrigue me, book reviews, thoughts on music I listen to, ephemera collected during trips, and photos captured throughout my days—all neatly gathered in one bound book.
I cannot emphasise this enough • life has been so much more meaningful, even the most mundane things, ever since I consciously started recording bits and pieces of my life. Especially keeping a record of my own thought processes. There was a time in my life when I worked through problems in my head by writing spoken-word poetry about topics that concerned me. It fills me with so much joy to read them back and at some point I realised just how much my inner state has grown and how much I’ve figured out along the way.
I feel like we all go through so much but we don’t take enough time to reflect or give ourselves credit for everything we’ve endured and achieved. This notebook serves that exact purpose: to collect, reflect, and connect—to cherish life a little more.

2024 Journal Reflections

In 2024 I filled up 5 journals!! In 2023 I only filled up 2. Looking at the stats I did a daily journal entry about 50% of the time, and used the bullet journal spreads I created about 80% of the time. I wanted to figure out how often I wrote over one page but I couldn't figure out how to track that :/
This year I experimented A LOT with how I journaled, while some things stayed consistent. I use a catch all journal, so I carry around one journal and put everything in it for a few months and then start a new one when its full. I do a combo of bullet journaling, goal planning, memory keeping, daily vents/dumps, journal prompts, and art journaling.
This year I wanted seasonal/quarterly journals with consistent spreads and check ins. I have been a slut for the Archer and Olive A5 journal for maybe 5 years, but this year I tried new sizes and brands.While I did really enjoy trying new sizes, in 2025 I will be going back to the A5. I particularly enjoyed the larger B5 size to give me more space and add a little empty space to the pages instead of cramming them full. Unfortunately, A5 is more practical for keeping my journal in my purse. But I tried a Quirky Cup Collective journal and loved it so I have two more for next year!
One thing I loved was having consistent goal planning spreads across each journal, and to simplify that for 2025 I wrote my long term goals on cards to move into each journal as I go, and write monthly and weekly goals to support my goals for the year.
One of the huge successes of my year was using 3 different journaling practices consistently to support my mental health.
The first two are from The Artists Way, an incredibly famous self help book that I ended up loving but kind of cherry picking from rather than living by. From this book I took morning pages, the practice of writing 3 pages of stream of consciousness right when you wake up. I used it right when I got home from work instead and it really helped me relax and feel more positive as I transitioned into my evening. I probably didn't do it very consistently but I loved it. I also started writing affirmations out ten times, also from the Artists Way. Again, I wasn't very consistent but I like it!
The last one I used was 3 good things, a practice where you write down three good things daily, writing at least a paragraph per thing, trying to bring yourself back to the moment of feeling good. This came from the Science of Happiness podcast, and I did i consistently a few years ago.
My biggest failure was giving up on bullet journaling for October and November. I started school and decided I should use a planner to ensure I was staying on top of grad school stuff, and I kind of hated i and didn't use it. So. Back to bullet journaling. I have given up on bullet journaling many times over the years, as I do so much writing and feel like I should focus on that, but I always regret it.
This got really long, so I will make a seperate post going into what my plans are for next year!

Ok I’m still agonizing about wanting to get a sterling ink planner or notebook so please enjoy (or not) this breakdown of my current system and the debate I’m having with myself re: what to purchase—under the cut
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/bc238df340833253590047842c74b6e6/2fcb2ccaac49cd59-be/s540x810/a95ff2eba75e363e7309f49b3fbe69dff02b2662.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1cccb8b476e9879bf18e93ce86fdd3da/2fcb2ccaac49cd59-33/s540x810/e58eeb9c942f273eecbf58b266d08fbd14e20ab9.jpg)
My current every day carry setup includes:
Paper republic A5 portfolio (note: too narrow to fit proper A5 comfortably, but perfect for moleskines)
Inside portfolio: blue moleskine for creative writing
Red moleskine for journal writing
Slipped into portfolio pocket: Log Book (where I keep track of what I did daily, monthly overview of events, monthly overview habit tracking, tracking when I water my plants, grocery and to-do lists) this is just made from maruman loose leaf paper I cut, stapled, and rounded the corners on
On top of the portfolio: A6 plain midori Mess Book (where I put anything and everything, doodles, stuff on the go, etc. it’s a mess)
Not in the everyday carry setup I have, at my desk:
A commonplace book
An ink notebook where I swatch, try mixes, do currently inked, keep track or purchases, and do transcription stuff.
Current issues with my system:
Main issue is that I got into fountain pens right after buying the portfolio and the moleskines.
The moleskines are not fountain pen friendly (the creative writing one is somewhat, but that’s the one I use the least frequently). This is partially why I bought the ink notebook, and entirely why I bought the midori mess book. Its main purpose is giving me a casual use book where I can use my fountain pens.
The portfolio doesn’t comfortably fit A5
I don’t want to abandon my moleskines 1/4 way through
I don’t want to abandon my portfolio at all
What I want, within the boundaries of not wanting to abandon any of my books, but feeling the itch to try out a sterling ink notebook or planner:
Something that can be my log book and my mess book at the same time. I make my log books every other month approximately and I’ll def be done my mess book by the new year, so I wouldn’t have to abandon them to replace them. They are similar in size, so I could easily combine them.
An A6 common planner would make most sense: log my days in the weekly pages, habit track in the quarterly sections, use the blank pages as mess book.
Issues that have me worried:
I want the horizontal weekly layout, but I like the two page spread like in the passport size. But passport is too small for the mess book and in A6 horizontal they cram all 7 days on one page, which is way too small.
Solution to this could be to get the vertical one and use it horizontally. This gives slightly more space. Still a bit worried because my current log book is just blank grid space, so I write as much or as little as I need and just draw a line between days
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1f7a7651e243c1702ddab245d09d3aa9/2fcb2ccaac49cd59-92/s540x810/dd6cea3d4ff4bf6683f075e189f0ea38d546aefa.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/652452ac1074e7214bf67a4e1bb1a5e7/2fcb2ccaac49cd59-e4/s540x810/527c380209633a709f467e70c3599201b0ba5e4d.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/259a7b1b98c13805dfb1af3f3790caef/2fcb2ccaac49cd59-d0/s540x810/c670d7581c3cc0f896148578411bf40d9eb56070.jpg)
(Horizontal passport | horizontal A6 | vertical A6)
So the solution, if I decide that even the vertical version is potentially not enough space to log my days, is to just get the A6 notebook instead of the planner, and make my monthly overview spreads myself like I’m doing currently. Log my days from one end, do the mess book from the other.
I’m just a little lost and a little frustrated hat I wound up committing to journals that aren’t fountain pen friendly right before I got into fountain pens.
But even if I were to finish my moleskines and could replace them with a bigger planner, so I could log my day comfortably in the weekly section, and use the dailies for journaling I don’t know what I would do. This portfolio is just slightly too narrow for A5, and if I went with the B6, it would fit perfectly in width but have an awkward amount of empty space in length.
One thing I could do is get a compact B6 and keep the creative writing journal so at least one of the books would fill in the height of the portfolio. In this scenario, the B6 planner would be for log book and journal. And then I guess I could either get an A6 notebook from Sterling ink or another Midori for my mess book. But this scenario involves finishing my moleskine journal by the new year, or soon after I guess.
(Edit: the B6 horizontal only exists in full year. Don’t know if that would fit on top of the moleskine. So i would have to do B6 vertical 🥲)

Hobonichi A5 cover: Matsumoto, My Manga and I
Assorted washi-tape, sticker sheets and flake stickers.
This is my first time using anything other than Hobonichi for my daily planner/memory keeper. I’m very excited about trying these new items and seeing where the year takes me with them.
I plan to use the A5 diary as a daily journal and memory keeper to store pictures and other items to decorate my pages.
For the B6 diary I plan to use as a weekly planner - mostly as a appointment reminder, events, and to-do list keeper that I can carry with me in my bag.

pt.2 of my lineup for 2025
here we have my a5 planner from kinbor (also bought from a vendor on aliexpress) and i'm quite happy with it.
the ribbon bookmarks came undone with a light tug (i only did that because i noticed a weird lump in the spine and i was trying to figure out what the problem was).
the spine is a bit weird but i don't know if it's because i've never had a soft cover that lays flat or if it's a problem with my journal.
anyway, i'm not going to send it back because i was considering cutting the bookmarks and the spine isn't really an issue, there's just a bit of space between the pages and the cover.
the layout looks great, just a simple monthly view and a daily one, some note pages in the back, same color scheme as the weeks one AND it's a soft cover that i very much prefer (i thought kinbor only made hardcovers since i saw that the panda one was hardcover i think) AND it lays flat !

I had such a hard time choosing what book to use for this half of the year. Even this morning I just stared at my hobonichi cousin avec and original avec. In the end I did choose the cousin, because how it can be both a planner and a journal for me.
I did entretain the thought of using a blank notebook as a journal and setting up a bullet journal but in the end desided against it. In all my attempts I found that if it doesn't have a designated amount of space to write, I tend to not feel like writing. So the cousin daily page feels inviting.
I got my komadori order today and it had the kokyo perpanep a5 zara zara notebook. And oh boy does it feel inviting. The paper is so incredibly textured that I can't wait to use it. I ordered it to be my tarot study notebook, but I have yet to recive the book I want to study with so I have to wait to use it... watch me have a weak moment and set it up as a bullet journal this week lmao.
Hopefully I can stick to the cousin avec for at least a month 🫡

Bullet Journal Beginner Setup and Productivity Tips
Productivity systems is always an interesting subject.
The reason for this is there is actually no perfect system out there, though many people might still try to convince you of otherwise.
The best system, however, is the one that aligns with your goals, your priorities, and your lifestyle.
And so, this is precisely the reason why I was drawn to bullet journaling in the first place. This method is completely customizable to fit anyone’s needs — it’s both fast and flexible.
According to Ryder Carroll, the inventor of the bullet journal system, this is an analog way to track the past, organize the present, and plan for the future.
Free Spacing Guide for A5-sized Planner
If you count spaces in your planner way too often, then this guide is for you!
Simply select "actual size" when printing and place the guide behind your planner page. You'll be able to see the markers through the page and choose which to trace.
No sign up or purchase necessary.
Here are five things to do to get started with bullet journaling:
Get a pen and a notebook.
Assign an index page where you can list down anything you write on whichever page of your notebook.
Number your notebook pages (if they aren't numbered yet).
Use bullets and signifiers to classify and easily recognize everything you write on your notebook (examples are provided in the video but feel free to use your own).
Remember to always go back to your index page to keep track of what you write down.
And just like that, you already have your own basic productivity system.
How?
By writing things down and keeping tabs on them, you're clearing your mind to facilitate a higher level of thinking. This is when you're able to reach a level of focus that permits you to do deep and meaningful, high-value work.
Now that we've covered the essentials of bullet journaling, let's talk about what actually goes in those pages. According to the bullet journal website, a section of anything you write on your notebook is called a collection.
Here are the four core collections of bullet journaling:
Index
Future Log
Monthly Log
Daily Log
Again, the Index is where you jot down the page numbers and the corresponding description of whatever you write on whichever page of your notebook.
The future log is where you list events, holidays, birthdays, appointments, meetings, to-dos, and more. This gives you a bird's eye view of what's to come and what to expect.
The monthly log is where you gather all your tasks and assign them to specific days. This ensures that everything gets scheduled and prioritized in their own time.
The daily log is where you can rapid log all your tasks, notes, ideas, etc. on a particular day. Don't forget to classify them with bullets and signifiers. Also, if you plan to migrate a task, write it down on a future date or if you schedule it, make sure to jot it down in your future log.
As I mentioned early on, whatever you do with your bullet journal is completely up to you. So aside from these four core collections, here are other examples of what you can put in your notebook:
Weekly log
Habit tracker
Reading list
Gratitude log
Mood tracker
Brain Dump / Ideas section
Client list
Project list
Content calendar
Blog/Vlog stats
House chores
Expenses list
Grocery list
Meal planner
Favorite recipes
Fitness log
Quotes page
TV show or movie list
Travel list/places you want to visit
Word for the day
Student calendar
Study/Homework progress
and many more.
There is a new term introduced over in the bullet journal blog called a Stack. A Stack is simply a group of collections. For example, if you were to ask me what my stack is, it's the following:
Future Log
Monthly Log
Weekly Log
Monthly Trackers
Keystone Habits
Gratitude Log
Reading List
Blog Mapping and Stats
Expenses List
Ideas Section
Adventures List
Once you get the hang of bullet journaling, you'll find that it's actually a really effective productivity system. Aside from writing things down as I mentioned earlier, here are seven tips on how to increase your productivity using this system.
01. Write down your goals
It's no secret that having goals is crucial to being productive. This is how you know you're spending your valuable time, energy, and attention on things that really matter. But do you know what's even more powerful than having goals?
It's having goals that are written down.
Since your bullet journal is something you already write on on a regular basis, it's only logical to map out your goals in there as well.
> You can list your goals according to what, why, how, and by when.
> You can have a wish list and match each task to a particular reward.
> You can have a checklist to see if your goal aligns with goal-setting strategies such as SMART, Stretch, BSQ, or OKR.
> Or, you can simply have a statement of what you want to achieve each month, day, or week.
02. Identify your ideal productive day and compare it with your actual day
Since we all have 24 hours in a day, the simplest way to do this in your bullet journal is to create a time map and visualize what your ideal productive day looks like — what are things you should be working on and what are activities you should not be doing.
Then choose a regular day and log everything you do in each hour or half-hour. Afterwards, compare the two lists and evaluate where you need to improve on.
Are you spending too much time checking emails? On social media? In meetings? Watching tv? You might be surprised how much of your day is actually spent on distractions and multi-tasking instead of deep work.
03. Track your habits and activities
This is a favorite among many bullet journalists since we already know the habits we should be developing and the activities we should be doing on a regular basis.
Simply search 'bullet journal tracker' in Google or in Pinterest and you'll find beautiful and inspiring layouts from others.
Some things you can track are your keystone habits, your fitness, your meals, your projects, your blog/vlog stats, finances/expenses, your morning routine, and your evening routine.
When it comes to habits, I highly suggest identifying the habit loop. According to Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit, a habit consists of three steps: the cue, the routine, and the reward. By establishing what triggers a habit and what reward we associate with it, we'd get better at developing or reshaping our habits.
04. Identify your SMITN
SMITN is just a catchy acronym I came up as a thought trigger to remind myself whenever I wasn’t prioritizing. It stands for:
Single Most Important Task Now
As I mentioned earlier, a huge portion of our day is usually wasted on distractions and multi-tasking. But if we always highlight our single most important task now, then we can more effectively act on things that actually move the needle.
This is related to concepts found in Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy, The One Thing by Gary Keller, even Essentialism by Greg McKeown.
So, in your bullet journal, it’s as simple as marking your top priority, high-value task with a star or an asterisk and making sure you work on it before your other activities.
05. Schedule a regular review period
It can be as simple as listing what you need to do 'more' of and 'less' of. Or your can review different areas of your life and rate them using a scale of 1 to 10.
This is what some bullet journalists call the level 10 life or wheel of assessment, which was taken from The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod.
You can even make a simple “stop doing” list to recognize which activities hinder your self-development and are essentially time-wasters.
The concept is that since we will always have areas of our lives that we can improve on, why not check in with yourself on a regular basis — yearly, monthly, weekly, even daily if you’re up for it.
06. Make a "go over later" list
Again, it’s really difficult to be productive when you’re constantly bombarded with distractions all day long.
But what if that distraction is a brilliant idea that just popped into your head? How do you turn that off when you’re trying to focus and get things done?
Well, one simple but effective way is to acknowledge the idea and write it down in a “do later,” “brain dump,” or “go over later” list.
This way, you’ll have a record of the idea and still be able to choose to work on it later when you’re ready to devote 100% of your time, energy, and attention to it.
07. Have a gratitude list
When it comes to productivity, sometimes it’s NOT about achieving more, being everywhere, and doing everything.
A lot of it is saying NO to things that don’t really matter and instead, being content with who you are, where you are, and what you have.
I love the question posed by Tim Ferriss in his latest book, Tools of Titans, where he asks,
Could it be that everything is fine and complete as is?
He was talking about how our obsession with being productive can sometimes make us more anxious, stressed, and lose sight of what’s really important.
This is related to what Productive and Free is all about. Our aim in being productive is NOT to simply do more work, but so we can be free to pursue the things we love.
And so in your bullet journal, my last suggestion is to list down and contemplate on things you should be grateful for or simply, to recognize and celebrate your small wins on a regular basis.
Over to You
Now as I mentioned many times before, what you do with your bullet journal is entirely up to you. And so, the same goes with these seven suggestions —
If something is unnecessary, eliminate it. If something isn’t entirely applicable, improve it. And if something works, use it.

Hello 2025
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6d13b3ae7de3e61633566186dd8d8a76/7d998532152cfce6-38/s540x810/40f06f1fa36ba99001b45ebc4b7822a0a1840cdb.jpg)
Welcome to my stationery blog! I go by Ghost (they/xe), and while I don't post here often, my love of journals, planners, and stationery consumes my life every day <3
My 2025 Main System:
Kinbor Weekly Planner: For general to-do lists, appointments, events, etc.
A5 rings binder: For tracking health, symptoms, goals, habits, hobbies, yearly collections, and a handful of long-term collections.
A6 Hobonichi HON: daily journal pages and reflections. I often just use this for memory keeping/dairy entries everyday.
I have a few other books that I rotate in and out for longer entries about interests, brain dumps, long-term collections and lists, but the books listed above are the main focus for every day use.

Digital Planner Preview
EDIT: jfc! click on the images to see the full picture, tumblr is being dumb and cropping them however it wants (or i'm being dumb and i don't know how to use tumblr anymore)
last year i made some templates for myself because i was very into digital planning.
what i wanted was a digital planner that resembled the hobonichi cousin with a minimal design so that i could customize it from week to week like a bullet journal and that i could reuse year after year.
what i came up with is what you can see in the first image, an undated planner with four different templates for different uses. the grid on all the sections is a 5mm grid and the templates are a4 size. it was important to me to have be able to see the month and the week in one page so that's why i chose a horizontal layout and it served me pretty well.
now let me explain a bit more what's in each of the templates.
calendar: this one is self-explanatory, it's a calendar with room for six weeks. it also has a sidebar for whatever you want to use it and a space on the top to add the month.
weekly: also self-explanatory, this template has a full vertical week on one page, plus the sidebar. the blank space on top of the sidebar is where i used to add a monthly calendar and highlight the current week but it can be used for other things. each day also has a divider at the top, for events or important tasks or meals.
daily/notes: these two i used interchangeably depending on my mood. the first one has three columns with a space to write the date at the top left corner and thew second one has a sidebar and a top bar with a wider section that's not divided.
in the second image you can see an example of how i used these pages. it's more in line with how i plan currently on a physical book, only using a couple of colors and my handwriting. but i used to go nuts with different colored pens and highlighters, digital stickers, and even photos.
now, would you be interested in me making this available to you guys? because i can definitely do that. i can also modify this to make it more printable friendly (like maybe splitting the pages so that you guys can have a big calendar on two a5 pages instead).
