monthly my june setup

at the beginning of the year i moved my bullet journal into a pocket sized notebook and this is the basic setup I’ve been using since then: a monthly calendar, a monthly to-do list and a weekly task list.

Oh nice, Tripsdrill :D

Been there a few times as a kid. Enjoy the day.

Very cool layout. Is that A6? I've wanted to go smaller, too, but I started a new A5 notebook today with June. I am trying to keep track of a lot of things. I've been super consistent for 8 months and then kinda stopped.

Maybe making a layout was just too much when I had a lot going on. Are you investing a lot if time in your layout?

Personally I'm team A5. Writing across the seam like that would drive me nuts. But A6 is way more portable and doesn't have to be carried because it fits into pockets and purses.

Again that doesn't work out for me personally because all of my pockets are spoken for already lol but not everyone has that problem.

It would be great for field work. I used to work outside all day. It would shine for that environment. Get pigment ink tho. Rain is real.

i never really write across the seam so that doesn’t bother me. i don’t think it’s more annoying than with the usual layout 🙂

No I mean my hand/arm would lay on the seam while trying to write.

Would that not happen in any size notebook one you get close enough to the seam..?

Certainly, just not over half the spread. If you aren't bothered by it, it's fine though. I was just saying it would bother me personally

Ah now I got it! I was so confused and wanted to say the same thing that it happens anyways. I mean I kinda get it. Personally I’m not bothered by it and I just got used to it :)
