I posted a video last month on my Techo Kaigi and I'm using the same Daily book (but A5), and it seems like we're using it very similarly! Additionally I picked up one of the 64 page grid booklets in case I ever get itchy about needing an Alastair list or some kind of project planning. It can tuck right in the cover, there's no structure so I can pick it up and then quit it as needed without stress, and I don't have to worry about flipping between pages in one book (I'd considered doing half page weeklies in the blank pages at the end of each month, but truly I am not a flipper!) It seems like you've worked out a similar fix with your rings. My Daily also had ripples but all throughout the book and all along each page near the spine, and she ended up giving me a small refund for the damage.

I also bought the journey planner this year (A5), and have reservations about how light the grid is - sucks to be middle-aged! It is expensive and in theory gives me everything I need, so I’m determined to use it, come what may as my weight, diet and mobility are my main goals for 2025 and this planner means I can keep everything together. And, Nisha has changed the Saturday and Sunday pages from half days to full days. I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise as I don’t use dated dailies but will use washi/whiteout if I have to. That wasn’t possible at all when one page was split between two days. I find it fascinating that I don’t like dailies - being told to use one page only for a journal entry and make an entry everyday doesn’t sit well, but others really don’t like writing a date or adding a sticker. We are all such funny creatures 😂. I do already have the Wonderland 222 and the Sterling Ink on hand if it goes badly wrong, but I’d be delighted to have to redate them for 2026/7. I’ll buy sticker packs instead of planners for the next couple of years - and save myself some money 😂.

That is a brilliant plan! (date stickers instead of new planners) Thankfully I have a desk lamp, and glasses 🤓 that make it easier to see the grids. And you're right, we are funny creatures.

Some planners start on Monday to match the typical work week. Some companies offer a choice of Sunday or Monday start, or they offer only one or the other. There is at least one company that has the monthly spread with a Sunday start even if you choose Monday start for the weekly spread. You just need to check what each company offers.

Look, I would fully understand if you wanted some pictures on the move but none of these produce particularly good or accurate results and basically, in a nutshell, the quality is absolute garbage for all of these. Not trying to be a troll but no one is really dumb enough to come home after their holiday and print, all their photographs out on a die sublimation. Printer. That's just so stupid. If you want your photos to come out, looking good, and you actually got the space to put a printer then, I don't know, go and buy a photo printer and actually make your photos look like photos. All of these look like trash, you would never print these out and start putting them into photo albums. They're just not designed for that. That is not why these little printers are made stupid, stupid stupid stupid, stupid stupid. Why are you encouraging people to do that? Dumb as. You can pick up decent. Proper photo printers of lab quality less than the price of one of these and they print amazing photos and I mean, amazing photos.
