journalsandplannersHi, all. A couple of years ago or 10, I tried a BuJo because my BFF swore by hers and blah blah blah -- I hated it. I'm not artistic (she is) and doing any kind of even basic layout was stressful and time consuming. I very quickly abandoned it. Then a few years after that, I got a Panda Planner after it being recommended in my online store group (I had an online store at the time). Big monstrous thing, too much detail and needs, and it overwhelmed me.
Cue me tripping into this group and actively reading through all the wonderful advice and planners and designs and .. and ... and....
I've bought the Jibun Techo (Life, Diary, & Idea) for 2025. I'm easing my way into it to end 2024, but I'm struggling with the translations (or lack thereof) and also all the many, many pages that don't interest me and I don't want, like the maps specifically. I'm almost to the point I'm going to cut them out. I know I read someone's post (or comment) that they were able to get the same or close grid paper and they glued over those pages -- I would love someone to pipe in if it was you (of course I can't FIND it now that I need it). Or if anyone has any links to even amazon where I can get "fill in" pages of similar type/size/grid pattern. I did get some of the translation pages available on jetpens, but they don't seem to have all the translations and I'm curious as to what is actually on the days and specifically the anniversary pages. I really don't want to learn Japanese to enjoy this planner FULLY :(.
Anyway, I'm looking for advice/recommendations/etc. on how to help keep me on journaling without me wanting to kick it to the curb before MLK day.
Thanks in advance!
