<![CDATA[Planners]]>Is anyone else a planner person? I’ve been using the same system for a few years but noticing a whoooooooole lot more white space in my book since I graduated in May. So now – naturally right AFTER ordering my planner for 2024 – I’m considering switching to a different, preferably more portable system than the one I have.

Curious to hear people’s thoughts on:

  1. Hobonichi
  2. Plum Paper
  3. Ways to bullet journal that are effective instead of totally overwhelming as you’re forced to build your own layouts from scratch.

The paper is nice and thick, and I use the lined undated paper in the back to keep journal and notes. I use fountain pens, and generally there’s no ink bleed.

That being said, I still have days where anxiety wins out and it feels more overwhelming to try and make my own layout.

So I got this both for the anxiety days and for easier on the go scheduling. I like that it has the same bullets and boxes as I’d make with a bullet journal. I just don’t have to spend the spoon to design it instead!

But thank you for bringing it up, maybe I should.

More recently been entirely focused on simply getting to-dos done so went for Todoist as it has both an app, web and desktop version.

Has been a lot more helpful since it’s just a simple to do list, without having to spend a good hour+ sighing at my meager art skills to make pretty layouts.

All the wonderful of handwriting but also the flexibility to upload it to my drive and such so I don’t have to carry the actual planner around.
