But...it stresses me out.
I don't like things unfinished. And with bullet journaling, it's never really 'done'. So I found myself NEEDING to set up the whole thing at once. If I have an appointment in December, and I don't have my December spread done, where do I put it? Now, I know there are easy solutions and fixes for this. But it still felt very unfinished to me. And it was just always in the back of my head that I needed to get it done.
And then I would rush through it and not end up liking the spreads because they were messy (because of the rushing) and I just hated the whole thing.
I have issues.
So I got a 'regular' planner at Barnes & Noble.
The one on the left is my main planner.
I love it so far.
There's monthly and weekly spreads AND habit trackers for each month (which I love):
There's a pocket in the front which holds bills, prescriptions to drop off, my Weight Watchers book, etc:
The book in the middle is for our finances. I track what we owe, what's coming up, savings goals, etc.
And the little one on the right is for my books. To be read, already read, wanted, etc.
And apparently I look books with elastic band closures. :)
These books pretty much come everywhere with me. They all fit in my purse. So does this pouch (that my sister got me in Ireland!):
The pouch holds my pens. I am fussy about my pens too (shocking).
