Day 7 Question:

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'll stick to the book (planner or notebook) i picked for the year throughout the whole year. Since i travel a lot between my home town and the city where i study, i've set up my system to be as low-maintenance as possible. (Which is also why i prefer my book to be A5 in size.) In the Bullet Journal, i use a black pen to write everything and then another in a different colour to add comments and accents as needed. In my hourly planner, i use a black pen and a highlighter. I'll usually pick one to use during one week and then switch the colour for the next week. These are all the things that don't really change after i've set them up.

I think the only difference is in the method i'll use to plan my day. I usually plan my day in the morning, just after waking up, but if there's some uncertainty about how the day is going to go, or i'm in a particular kind of mood, i'll add things as i'm about to do them, or after i've already done them (and then proudly highlight them as done immediately after writing them).

I think that's a really sensible and practical way to approach it.
