Well, it’s been 1 week since I started #onebookJuly2016. Here are my thoughts so far on this challenge:
*Heavy. I forgot how heavy this Maverick TN could be.
*Loving my bullet journal insert. This will be continued.
*Missing my system pre-planner addict world…The inserts I have in the Maverick for the month mimic the set up I’ve used my whole life, except for when I was falling down the planner rabbit hole and trying to force myself into a new system. I’ve always used a brain dump notebook and a single wall calendar to stay organized. I’m kinda back to doing that now.
*As lovely as my colletto pen is (Thank you again, Canyon!), I’m burning through ink so quickly! I do have refills, but if I run out of them, I’m switching pens for the rest of the month.
*Piccadilly insert doesn’t lay flat like my daily insert did. Needs binder clips.
*Wasn’t using the Brain Dump/Random Writings notebook at all at first, but once I filled up the Musings and Brain Dump pages in my Collections #2 notebook, I started using the first one.
*Weekly insert helps me see an overview of what my week looks like, but I don’t use it very much.

The heavy aspect would definitely not sit well with me! But at least you’re getting a work out from the deal 🙂

I’m definitely switching to a smaller size when August comes. I’ve already decided that.

Great post!

Thanks, Jay!

I have never tried using a bullet journal you make it sound so easy and very useful.
Jul 14, 2016 @ 11:14:08
It’s a great way to keep my head from spinning.
Jul 13, 2016 @ 13:07:20
Do you have a picture of the book you;re using? I’m having a hard time visualizing it.
Jul 14, 2016 @ 11:16:13
My initial #onebookJuly2016 set up post has the pictures: http://talesfromapolkcountygirl.com/onebookjuly2016-set-up/

I have to have lay flat pages. It is just a must for me.
Jul 14, 2016 @ 11:16:44
It’s getting a little annoying. Not so bad in the smaller TN I used. This one is too thick.
Jul 13, 2016 @ 20:55:26
Maybe I need to try something like this.
Jul 14, 2016 @ 11:17:00
I’ve certainly been learning what I need and what I don’t.

Bullet journals are becoming so popular!

Yes, they are!

What is #onebookJuly2016? Are you reading 1 book per week?
Jul 14, 2016 @ 11:18:11
#OneBookJuly = 1 book (1 planner actually) + 1 pen for 1 month. Pairing down your planning system to the essentials and figuring what what you really need.

Sounds like you are observing a lot with this challenge. It’s hard to be without things we are so used to!!
Jul 14, 2016 @ 11:18:47
Yes, it is. I find myself reaching for certain things and then I have to remind myself that I have to wait until August.
Jul 14, 2016 @ 10:41:26
It sounds like you’re totally fine-tuning your system as you go. That’s exactly how it should work.
Jul 14, 2016 @ 11:19:08
I definitely am. Come August, it’s going to be interesting.
Jul 14, 2016 @ 11:35:23
I have never heard of a bullet journal! How interesting.
Jul 15, 2016 @ 08:17:35
YouTube and Google will be great teachers!
Jul 18, 2016 @ 07:59:13
I’m not sure I know what a bullet journal is either. You’ll definitely know you preferences after this challenge.
Jul 18, 2016 @ 08:53:11
http://Www.bulletjournal.com is a great place to start.
Jul 18, 2016 @ 10:21:28
Do you have a link to your first post? I’d love to compare! I keep reading about journalling, but can’t seem to get myself started. Any tips for getting started?

Here is the link to the set up post: http://talesfromapolkcountygirl.com/onebookjuly2016-set-up/. Thanks for the idea though. I need to put links to the previous posts in my review posts.
