Building moving averages charts from there was a pretty simple project, and used different colored inks. The check registers were easy with the marks on the first and last line of the Davinci paper.

Right now it is a week on 2 pages, but I change it depending on what is going on. I also have my check registers, cash records, keep track of 2 credit cards, solar record of KWhs generated,several moving average charts, lists and daily notes.

It all depends on how much you want to write on a daily basis and whether you have another, larger office binder, or if this will be it. <br /><br />I used the week on two pages and found that ok for appointments only, but poor for adding daily actions.
