Nothing has changed dramatically since my last planner update, but I figured I would show you anyway.
In this one I walk through my Sterling Ink Common Planner B6 slim, what I'm actually tracking in the quarterly section, and why the vertical layout keeps turning into journal pages instead of daily to do lists. I go back to horizontal every single time. I show you the weeks I kept up with, the weeks I got behind and just journaled through instead, and the vignettes I keep adding because they are my favorite part of the whole book.
Then there's the honest part. I have 105 blank pages left in the back and we are almost in August. So I am sitting here deciding whether to be brave and size down to the CP with half the pages of this book and risk running out at the end of the year. I hate the thought of wasting all that Tomoe River paper. Tell me what you would do.
If the vignettes are the part you keep pausing on, that is exactly what I teach in No Sweat Vignettes. Simple memory keeping for people who do not have time for full pages.
