One Book July Setup 

You are me! I use my (one) to organize the many facets of my life not to use as a means to sticker and then say (like I’ve seen in other people’s videos) that there’s no room to plan so they have to use other planners.

​@@dsimone3720 for sure. i mean i love a good sticker or stamp if there's room/time, but it just depends, and my planner just for me. i think we the viewers need to remember that these planner content creators have monetary incentives for collecting and showing off all their different planner lineups and set ups and switch ups, etc., so they really don't represent the common every day person imo. more planners = more content for them, but = more unnecessary cost, energy, and stress for me. but tbh if I were Rachelle and I spent well over $60 +S&H on ONE dated planner, I'd sure as F want to get the most use out of that as possible, too!! ffs i could absolutely never 🤣

Same! Just one personal size Filofax for everything.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I started all the books in an effort to buy all the things. After creating a complete mess and spending all the money, only to toss all the things, I am back to one book😂.

@@katzenfrau Oh I use stickers for example I have small dollar sign stickers on my monthly layout to track paydays which saves me space and time of actually writing it several times/month so I can use it for other things. I'm not against stickers, stenciling or whatever as a whole, I'm moreso talking about people where there is very little writing, tons of stickers, and they are so confused why their planner isn't "working" for them. Your explanation about content creators needing to promote products makes so much more sense and for people like Rachelle actually paying for their planner--heck yeah--put it to good use. That's a lot of money. I've been wondering how people are spending so much and switching every 2-3 months.

Oh cool I didnt know! I had just seen some videos around about it. Thank you!

why not try it for august?

@@katzenfrau I mean I definitely could. 🙂 This actually is a great idea for figuring out exactly how I want my planner to work for me as 2024 draws near. Thanks Katzen!

Hey the purpose is to minimize, so as long as you're in the spirit of that I think you're in the clear!! Good luck to you as well my friend!

I'm honestly?? kind of nervous about it! But i think it's going well so far 👀

Thank you!

There will definitely be a review at the end of the month!

Love the streamlining of apps!

I also have to have separate journals to work with the way my brain works.

I also keep movies I watch in my journal

I plan to do a video on this at some point!

Its a fav for me!

Hahahah four book july 😂

Oooh how is it going?

@@RachelleinTheory so far so good but I do miss the smell of paper and using my various pens. So the digital one has become very planning focused and not really a true Bujo. I do some digital memory journaling since photos are super easy to transfer from my phone to GoodNotes. I still have my pure written journal since paper is my friend.

I'm also a vertical layout person, and I use A5 size notebooks to bujo. even B5 is way too big! i had to just accept that each week is across 2 spreads. first half page is habit tracker and an Alastair weekly list, followed by the 7 dailies (each half a page). 2 spreads is annoying but im getting used to it. one spread just isn't enough room! I also put a commonplace section at the end of my notebook if I need more space for other stuff.

Its a Moterm Veg Tan Leather in Khaki!

It's the iPhone 14 camera!

Just a little more info if you're trying to recreate this--that effect is mostly coming from cinematic mode, which is available on iphone 13 and newer. We also do some color grading in editing, which helps 😎

@@RachelleinTheory Thanks a lot 🥰

This is honestly exactly what I am aiming to figure out! I have some anxiety about running out of blank pages for some reason, even though there are so many. But I figure, if i use it really consistently for a month, then i can see how many pages i use up and do the math.

​@@RachelleinTheory❤🎉 Yes exactly this 💯 I see so many comments in the planner community about the fear of not having enough but by the end of the year they have over fifty pages left over. So many people switched to the mega weeks only to discover that the original weeks had plenty. I think it's interesting watching this challenge done over the years the anxiety in the beginning of the month and the wow can't believe it amazing relief moment at the end of the month. I think that is the true value in doing this challenge you can truly see how much you actually do utilize your planner and how many pages you actually need. Of course we're all here because we love planners and all the things so we'll still buy all the things but at least the hope is we're more self aware 😂
