Added a gaming journal to my lineup! 🎮 I had a journal like this a few years ago in an MD notebook, but I’m going with my trusty @leuchtturm1917usa this time. For those who like to read, I wrote a blog post that goes a little more in-depth on my website (link is you-know-where). Excited to see how this journal comes along this month!

I’ve been doing calendar spreads like this in my journals for yeaaaars, but in A5s and B6s, never a pocket size. So this one in particular was inspired by @lindseyscribbles’s A6 setup. 🫶🏻

And although I’ve been using @leuchtturm1917 A6 notebooks for years as an inboxing system, @bettyydays inspired me to give it a try as a proper journal. 📝

Do you keep a gaming or hobby journal?? Always looking for inspo, especially for daily logs.

Unboxing my new Paper Republic haul. 📦

Like many of us in the notebook community, I’ve already been thinking about my 2027 lineup. I’m keeping an A6 Paper Republic leather journal as an inbox in my system, but for the new year I wanted to upgrade to a Le Portfolio. 🥰 I’ve checked back for months and this folio CONSTANTLY sells out, so I’m glad I managed to snatch one up while it was in stock!

I accidentally ordered plain notebooks (that’s how much of a rush I was in, haha), but decided I will use them for doodle practice and free planning I tend to only do on my iPad.

Do you use a @paper_republic multi-notebook system? What inserts do you have in yours??

📌 Save this for when you set up your journal or planner for the week!

I always get so many questions about my weekly setup so I thought I’d walk you through it. This setup took a lot of trial and error for me, but after weeks of trying different things, this layout has worked for me for almost a year now. And I love that it only takes 5-10 minutes to set up!

I honestly don’t know where I’d be without the Alastair method, so if you haven’t heard of it, I definitely recommend looking it up. After this weekly dashboard spread, I use a traditional bullet journal rolling daily log for the week as I go — no other setup required. But this page is where I flip to first when I’m planning my days and migrating tasks.

I’m curious: what’s one thing that’s always on your weekly spread?? 🤔
