Some kind of something for August?

[lunabee34]

Hi, everyone! I always think of August as the start of the year because I'm an academic. It's when I get new stationery and school supplies and planners. So I was wondering if there's an interest in doing some sort of something for August like we did earlier in the year in the style of the Snowflake Challenge? If y'all want to respond to this post with questions you think will work for that, I will post them throughout August.

Have you ever pivoted/made a pretty big shift in journal/planner usage? What prompted it and what was the shift in usage?

Do you keep your old journals/planners, or do you get rid of them? If you keep them, how do you store them, and do you have a longterm plan for them? If you get rid of them, do you throw them away? Burn them? Something else?

August is usually the start of the year for me because it’s my birthday and therefore my “personal new year” ^_^

Definitely interested in another month of prompts… but struggling to come up with any good ideas myself!

What prompted you to get into using a planner or journaling?

Try this ...

How far back do your journals/planners go?

I think it's a great idea!

Maybe lists of fav resources, tutorials, Pinterest boards?

How does your practice/style change according to your circumstances? For example, do you switch to a smaller volume when you're travelling? Use a less elaborate layout when you're particularly busy? Anything else?

I have an anthology of journal entries from many celebrity and diarists, and I often find that flicking through it inspires me to go and fill a page or so myself. Do you have any journal/planning role models?

[octahedrite]

Do you revisit older entries? If so, do you review them on a consistent basis or just when the mood strikes?

Do you use your journal for productivity, reflection, as a record, or as a mix of these?

If you use your journal for productivity, describe your productivity system.
