I love the idea of using the weeks for a reading journal! I may have to try that in the future. Excited to see what you do with your cousin!

[@bronteswannick]

Ahh yes it works so well! It’s the perfect size to not feel overwhelming! Thanks so much, i’m enjoying it so much so far 😊

[@bonjourkatie]

So excited for you! ✨ Classically (for me) I am now lusting after a cousin despite knowing I’m happy in my hobonichi day-free 😂 I have previously got too caught up in dated pages for journaling and I also do my functional planning in my hobonichi weeks so I really don’t need one but it’s so hard not to lust after the big book of everything! Can’t wait to see your future spreads and everything all filled in 😍

[@bronteswannick]

Ooh the day free is also so great though! But yeah the big book does really appeal to me too hence the change 🥲 thank you so much!

[@bonjourkatie]

@@bronteswannick I think it’ll definitely be perfect for what you need! Maybe I’ll try the cousin next year to get it out my system and then I can move on 😂 for now, I’ll look forward to your videos!

The calendex is a future logo and when you setup a new month you go to the calendex to see events, birthdays, doctor's appointments...

[@AvivaHadas]

I use the calendex to track my quilting. (I chose 12 projects that I would like to make, and if I sew on project 10 I annotate that on the day. So I can jump around... Last year I used the monthly and chose one project to work on until it was finished... So far so good. I was thinking if you had multiple knitting projects or if you also did the spinning/plying...)

[@annettefertitta6868]

That’s a great idea

[@bronteswannick]

Ohh this is a lovely idea, thank you! I definitely do always have multiple projects on the go so it’s definitely something worth keeping track of 😊

[@ndevent496]

This is great I'm also a knitter and reader (my main hobbies) so this is great to see :D

[@bronteswannick]

Ahh so lovely! It's definitely nice to keep track of everything in one book 😊

[@annettefertitta6868]

I use mine for birthday in my Sterling B6 and in my TN, I use it to swatch deco for the month. I got that idea from Martin-MadeTV channel she also has a brilliant video on various layouts that can be used in a vertical planner.

[@bronteswannick]

Ooh these are great ideas thank you 😊

[@breathesarah]

Love it! Hope you have a blast.

[@bronteswannick]

Thank you so so much 😊

[@annettefertitta6868]

I do much better with an undated notes section at the back - I’m in love with the Sterling ink Common planner but I know you tried 😳. You can always cover the date with a sticker or white it out

[@bronteswannick]

I know what you mean, i do really like the flexibility of an undated book, but the dates definitely hold me accountable and encourage me to record things!

[@annettefertitta6868]

@@bronteswannick yes, the dates in the notes section seem to motivate some, like you and stress some of us out. Glad we have choices. It might be because you’ve gotten in these habits so much younger too!

[@lindyredmond9838]

Curious as to why you chose the spring start rather than January start?

[@bronteswannick]

Purely because I swapped systems, and I didn't want to back fill 3 months in the January start 😊 also, I found this April start one on sale so it seemed like fate!

[@CoutureByKrystal]

Where is the clear cover from

[@bronteswannick]

It’s from Lauren Phelps Designs 😊 i would definitely recommend it, the quality is great!
