Use a pencil board when you write in your stickered monthly, give it a try!

I don't usually like to write with a pencil board which was why I didn't think of that lol. I tried it and it helps a little. It is still bumpy and not flat. However, I tried it with two pencil boards stacked and that seems to do the trick. The best solution I found is taking it out of the cover and folding it so the page I am writing on is a single page on my desk...if that makes sense. This is the most flat and stable. But the double pencil board could work if I want to keep it in the cover. Thanks for the suggestion!

Would those stickers come off with tweezers? It seems a shame to not use it. All the spare pages in your other monthly planner, I used mine to make a second year so my monthly planner runs for two years which is great for me.

I tried to take them off but they rip the paper :/ I think I've found a solution so I am going to use it. I agree, I don't want to waste it. Even if I don't use it as I originally planned I would make something out of it.

@ I love how we set up an insert and then find a different use for it…often better than the one we’d originally thought of 😀

Even with the washi dates, it will bulk up a bit. I have the same ones. I bought them on TEMU.

I'm realizing that after just the first set of stickers I added 🥲 I might white out the dates and stamp them on instead of writing them out. I'll probably alternate between the stickers and the stamping. Do you still use the stickers or do you do something different now?

@ I use a travelers notebook system in A6 size. So my daily insert I use the stickers in typically only are for one month, which means it doesn’t bulk up too much. I also use a writing board to help, but since the insert is a lot thinner than a hobonichi and other bound books, it doesn’t really cause any issues in that area for me. Sorry I wasn’t much help, but think white out and stamps will help avoid too much bulk. I use white out and write things in when I want to avoid bulk.
