Let's get the ball rolling in this community!

This is the post where we can all introduce ourselves and talk about what sort of journals and planners we're into. Remember, anything related to journals and planners is on topic here.

independence1776 and I will make monthly posts to keep the comm active, but we hope you'll also post regularly. Don't forget that pictures are encouraged!

I love planners.

I get a new planner every year which I use extensively for work (and some personal stuff like doc appointments and birthdays). I got a Bloom daily planner for this year which I really like in every way except that it's too small. I misread (or just didn't think to check) the dimensions and instead of it being the size of sheet of paper, it's the size of a paperback novel. I just need more room.

For next year, I think I'm getting a Volt planner. I just found out about them last week, and they look amazing. I don't know what the dimensions are on them, but I'm going to try one for next year even if it's smaller than what I want. I usually consider tabs for the months essential and Volt doesn't seem to have those either, but I think I can make some. IDK I should read some reviews; the website doesn't give enough info.

I downloaded Volt's planner from last year (if you haven't seen it, it's there as an example of how the thing looks), but haven't looked at it closely yet. I think there're some things in there that look useful to me, though.

I've looked at the PDF of the pages. I really like the layout. I think it's big enough that I will have room to do what I need with it. And I like the opportunity for goal setting and planning and reflection. That's not something I realized I wanted from a planner until I got the Bloom one; it has to-do list and goal setting pages and a reflection portion at the end of the year. All the planners I've had up to this point have been very utilitarian.
