I’m in awe you can fit your whole life into that tidy looking notebook. Does it use TARDIS technology?

(As you can tell from my other comments and jumping around organizers willy nilly, I’m pretty hopeless on this front.)

Haha, I've tried them all to find the perfect match. I mean, it's basically a glorified "to do" list, mostly. But it also tracks my sleep, my health, when I get sick, every doctor appt for each kid, when they've been sick, and for my cat Booker. All my passwords, my parents passwords, emergency contacts. It never leaves my house.

For out of the house, I have a simple Hobonichi Weeks book. I jot stuff down on there, and I also use it as a summary journal of my week. For awhile I used Notion.so online and it was good, but I prefer the physicalness of a planner.

But I used Travelers Notebooks for quite awhile too. I even got my special edition one from the Traveler's Caravan in NYC's Ace Hotel, but in the end, I feel like the rings was just more tidy for me.

Ah, it’s cool that it’s a “never leaves the house” journal, and you have something else for being on the go. I in theory had have that (a “passport” sized Traveler’s notebook), but I get obsessed with idea of The One Journal To Rule Them All. (You can see how well that’s gone… LOL).

Of course, it’s not like I leave the house much these days anyway…

Oh yeah, nowadays I never leave the house, so I don't really need too much of an outdoor one all that much. The rings planner is definitely a "One To Rule Them All" planner because it's so versatile. And I also like that I can make or buy, and then print my own inserts exactly how I want it. I'm very particular so it helps!!

I made a planner instagram like the weirdo I am jenbeeplans if you want to see more depth with how I use it, haha.
