One Book July // Daily Duo, Hobonichi, Leuchtturm1917, or Pen + Gear

Join me as I ramble through my choices for One Book July. I really did leave it to the last minute, lol.

You have that little Pen & Gear set up so cute! It’s hard isn’t, when we love all the options! I’m in a similar situation with my system, and always seem to come back to rings. I have been watching Planning with Kay, and all her A5 bullet journal setups, and I love the whole concept, but can’t ever seem to stick with a bound book. I’m not sure I could fit every section I like to have in a book, to make it make sense…..I would most likely do B6 or B6 slim, and put it in a TN. That way I could still keep a resource insert (so I’m not copying everything over and over), and 12 month insert. UGH, decisions! Loved the video, thanks for sharing! ❤

Have you considered printing inserts on precut/prepunched paper? It doesn't really save paper but it does cut out a ton of work of cutting and punching while still giving you the customization you want.

It seems you began with one book. 🤷‍♀️
It does seem you are enjoying the thought of changing it up…
Thanks for sharing the options!
I’m going with the 4x6 dollar notebook. :-)

If you do a setup in the A5 bujo, I’d love to see a PWM on that if it works out!

Could you print weeklies and then just use lined or graph paper for dailies? Some of the paper Filofax or Moterm give as part of their package? My diyfish weeklies are literally three pieces of paper a month

Love your reading journal mixed into your planner. So fun. I need to go watch more of your videos to see if you have a walk through of how you use the reading tracker pages and lists and all those goodies. I think you should go for the Leuchtturm!

I’m trying to squeeze into a cousin but this makes me think…hmmmm should I return to the 1917 😂

I don't think I'll ever understand why we follow trends in this community that don't align with us or the way our brains work. One Book July assumes that the way we compartmentalize our thoughts and creativity is wrong and causes internal chaos when, in fact, it keeps our brain organized and our emotions balanced. Don't choose one if you can't choose one; go against the grain and forget about One Book July. Just another silly trend in this stationery space.

I used the cousin for a couple of years but I couldn’t truly get into. I rarely used the daily pages and the weekly was too small.

I’m now comfortably in a passion planner medium weekly Monday start for my everyday carry. It works great for me. I have some other “planner type notebooks” too. I use a Moon Phase Studios journal for daily journaling. And I have a Clever Fox budget planner monthly for bills and budget. I have a Happy Planner big in dashboard layout for my volunteer work. It’s a lot but it keeps me organized and separated as needed.

couldnt you use the binding machine on any A5 printables you wanted for the notes/tracking section of the daily duo? 🧐food for thought!
