  2. For those of you who do “proper” planning and use a small weekly calendar as your main book, where do you write down your plans, goals etc? I’m currently a Hobonichi Weeks as my main, EDC calendar and master, but have a handful of auxiliary organisers for various aspects (diary, health and fitness, work, language learning etc)

    1. For a while I have been dividing my Personal Filofax into 3 sections, Scheduling, planning and notes.
      Scheduling has:
      1. A handwritten mini year calendar, BuJo style on squared paper. This contains my long term goals and objectives and milestones
      2. A tabbed Filofax monthly in which I record key dates and appointments and which also includes goals each month
      3. Handmade weekly (similar to your Hobonichi) which has space for weekly and daily objectives. Because I use this to manage my week up until now I have not necessarily kept the full year in the binder.

      The Planning section is really just lots of immediate action lists by project and notes are just notes.
      I use GDPM and differentiate outcomes from outputs so these might all be broken down in notes.

      2025 has been a problematic year Filofax wise because my Heritage organisers have cracked and I am unhappy with the worsening quality of Filofax paper and THE QR CODES. Consequently for 2026 I am shifting back to A5 and switching to higher quality 3rd party inserts. The thicker paper is limiting the amount of sheets and this is forcing me to rethink my system but I believe it will be worth it because of the joyous range of fountain pen inks I am now able to use!

    2. Thanks, that’s very interesting!

      I too prefer fountain pens, but don’t always use them in my planners, although I used to for several years when I used a bullet journal.
