Using a Unison brand grid lined composition book I purchased at Target for about 70 cents!

I love how you do your monthly calendar and your weekly calendar. Looks better then mine. I think I am going to purchase a composition book with graph paper for my 2025 planner.

I go back and forth but I always come back to the composition note book. It’s so versatile

@Gillyweedsfun 8 ай бұрын

Same here. I can do so much with a composition book, and if I mess up a page, it only costs me a fraction of a penny! They are so cheap, and I can do whatever I want with it, without stressing over the cost.

I like the sound of the paper. I didn’t realize composition books came in grid paper!

@Gillyweedsfun 8 ай бұрын

I love the paper of these particular books. The Unison brand has light enough ink that the lines aren't too dark, the paper is pretty smooth, and there is very little bleedthrough or ghosting.

I’m going to model my composition planner after yours-it’s so practical and I think would be perfect for most of my needs.

I'm so happy it helped! I like to see what other people do, especially for new ideas. This has worked the best for me, though, after 10 years of bullet journalling.

Hi welcome to you tube! Glad you’re here. I use a composition book daily because I’ve always used one before discovering the planner community I’ve moved in and out of so many types found my favorite is personal rings but got to say I don’t think I’ll never not use a composition notebook. I like how you used grid 👍🏻 tfs

I have gone back and forth over a ton of planners as well. I always wanted to like rings, but it was not for me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I love what you’ve done with this notebook! I’ve been using a composition book for everything after years of using multiple happy planners at once. It was out of control I mean at one point I had to have two separate hourly planners because one would only go from like 7-7 and I needed something for the other 12 hours!!! I love working in a composition book now and doing whatever I want! I literally can and do use it for everything and I use any of my stickers that I want to! I do love what you’ve done here. You’ve given me some great ideas!

Wow, I have never subbed so fast! 😄Absolutely wonderful planner. I go in and out of using comp books as planners/journals. I have a large collection of them in both lined and graph versions. I'm currently in a Day Designer spiral planner, but this really gave me some great ideas if I choose to return to a comp book for 2024. I love them for all the same reasons you do - ultimate freedom for planning, journaling, notes - you can make it whatever you need without being locked into a specific format for an entire year. I really like how you set up your weeklies. We have so much in common. I also use those clear/colored post-it tabs on the side of my planners, they're so durable. And I am also back in school and not working - I arranged my life to do so, as you did. Great video!! Keep 'em coming! PS I also love the name Roman. Happy 18th to your kiddo!

@Gillyweedsfun 8 ай бұрын

Thank you! I love the idea of a preprinted planner, but then I miss the creativity and flexibility of a good old comp book. I need the pages for notes and lists that I just can't get in a spiral printed planner. Plus, this one fits in my bag perfectly in the padded ipad sleeve! It's the same size as my ipad, so it's perfect!

Gotta love grid composition books! I have wasted so much money on fancy planners and such, I am trying composition notebook planners. I have lined ones, so using them up before I buy grid. They just feelso much more practical and usable compared to leather binders with costly inserts or "fashion planners" which are now so expensive I just laugh. Thank you for showing us a REAL planner!!!

@Gillyweedsfun 6 ай бұрын

I struggled hard with wanting to have the pretty happy planner type of planner, but I'm also a bit of a perfectionist. If the planner is too pretty, I am afraid to use it! This way if I "mess up" I don't feel so stressed about it.

@thegoatgirlcr 6 ай бұрын

@@Gillyweedsfun I hear you about perfectionism. I wish I wrote smaller so I could use a pocket planner. However, it isn't going to happen. I've accepted it. Trying to use what I have while having a bit of fun😊
