skip all the fatigue from trying to mimic what you unintentionally have been influenced to think you need.
Focus on what you like and what works for your brain. What makes YOUR life easier?
Find a NOTEBOOK that you like (I prefer Sterling ink grid in B6) with the paper that you like in the size that you like. I know you have a favorite.
Just get the notebook! dot, grid, blank, whatever tickles.
Then buy a cover that you love. My go to is always clear because I can never leave it alone.
Then always have an extra cover for back up that you also love. This one just feels like a luxury. And for me it really pays off. Anytime you need a fresh start, clear off your cover or get a new notebook refill. you won’t feel the guilt of planner remorse.
Personally, I don’t need a pre-printed date. I like the idea of the consistency, but there’s way too much guilt and anxiety attached to a book giving me zero choice of either being forced into false creativity or the guilt and shame of back filling.
My pages starting the beginning and end on the last page. There are no sections. It’s chronological …like my life. Anything else wouldn’t make sense for me. Not to mention, I save so much more money. Which intern you could use on the supplies instead of buying 18 planners. You can actually enjoy the supplies that way. Find your preferences, stick to them, save your money. There’s too much disappointment out there. And if you do find something you like you really hold onto why. 🤷♀️
Here’s the sign you need if you needed one. What could go wrong?
Sorry if there’s any grammar spelling errors whatever. I have too many things to worry about. Good luck to you all, don’t turn something you love into anything but.
