We are a few weeks into the new year, so that means it’s time for a Common Planner update!
I figured it was time for a Common Planner Update, especially since we are already a few weeks into the new year!
Common Planner Update
Let’s start with the monthly spread
I accidentally put down the washi strip on the left quite crooked, but we are going with it!
In this spread, I keep track of appointments and special events, like my birthday 🎂.
When things change, I usually draw a line through it. That way, I can always refer back to when something was “supposed” to be scheduled. I will only use whiteout when I need to write something else in the date block.
Next up are the weekly spreads
This spread is a must when I am choosing a planner.
I had a few fumbles the first day working in the Common Planner, but I quickly recovered and have loved how these weekly pages are turning out.
I honestly don’t know if I will keep creating a tracker in the left common. At the moment, I feel like it’s too time-consuming, but we shall see. I do like the way it looks!
I do like having a Focus section; I just have to get better at writing it down at the beginning of the week.
The daily pages
I LOVE the daily pages. They are the perfect size!
They are undated, so I can skip days if needed, and I can change the layout to serve my needs.
I also tipped in one of Sterling Inks beautiful free monthly calendar printables.
On January 1st, I drew a timeline, like in the Hbonichi Cousin, but in the days that followed, I found inspiration from The Coffee Monsterz Co.
I feel like there is the perfect amount of space to fit all of my to-do’s, and still room for journaling. But not an overwhelming amount like in the Hobonochi Cousin A5.
I have even started to add photos! On the left, I used my Canon Ivy, and on the right, I just printed out a photo from my regular home printer.
I honestly like the home print better, because the Canon Ivy print makes my page bow too much.
Check out my video for more thoughts and what planner supplies I have been using in my Common Planner.
