Planner Low-Buy Struggles + Is One Book July Still On? Let's Chat!

[@spellboundnotes]

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! After trialing the layout some more and also deliberating even more... I did buy the Day Designer when I was school shopping. 🙈 I hope you aren't too disappointed, I did put a lot of thought into it. After using it for a while, I'm enjoying it and my productivity has gotten much better. I am struggling a little with a now two-planner system, but I'll give it a good shot at least!

I love my personal rings. I did switch my on the go planner to co petite. Loving the combo. You have a nice setup.

I think you should stick with your low buy year. Be creative and work with what you have already!!! Not only you will be decreasing your stack of notebooks but I believe you will also feel more productive while using them. I know the temptation is high but stay strong 💪🏼

You had me at “faux leather” 😮 Now I’m tempted to get this as the ultimate mom organizer 😅

I was a day designer customer for many years. Loved it. But, the planners are quite big compared to what you’re using now. I liked the daily but don’t miss the size of it at all. Good luck on deciding. I think I will add their layout to my current planner based on what you’re doing - so thanks for the inspiration!

Tbh I didn't think you were indecisive at all. You already know what to do and know what your goal is.

I have an A5 rings day designer and I love it! I use it as a research binder.

That's awesome! I'm surprised at how much I'm loving it to be honest!

I think you’re doing the right thing by trying to work with what you already have. Redating for the week ahead won’t take too long and it’s a good opportunity to experiment with what will work best (especially when he actually starts). Maybe you could think of a way to make it fun/fancy. Also, I just realized recently- “planner season” starts very soon. You could work a more permanent solution into your new lineup. It’s only a few more months. I can’t remember if you got the sterling ink mega version. Would you have enough pages?

I looked at that same planner, I just can't go without Tome River paper. I would keep drawing it out.

Hi! I have those mini hobonichi notebooks as well. I havent had the heart to use it. I realized why buy if your not planning on using it. Use it up and dont stress and dont be hard on yourself. 🎉 Happy planning!

I like the idea of just using what you have for now at least, until you reallyyyy know you need an hourly dated page and if you switch to spiral you may not like it

Do you have a TikTok?!!
