This is useful for getting a rough overview of the year.

The daily pages that follow are:A layout that allows you to view two days per page, or four days at a glance across a two-page spread.It is designed to be easy to use for both journaling and task management.

Features and usage of the monthly page

The monthly pages areThe structure allows for a significant increase in visibility by opening the free space section.It is as it is.

This system makes it easy to get an overview of your entire month's schedule and also facilitates integration with other pages.

The layout is vertical, and there is less writing space than in a typical monthly planner.

Therefore, I

etc. Visual management with stickers I am doing it.

I find it just right to be able to see the situation at a glance and then check the details of my work schedule in my work planner.

Examples of how to use a vertical monthly planner (ideal for managing social media and blogs)

The vertical monthly pages were originally drawn with dotted lines.A layout that is easy to divide into three sectionsThis is how it is. I'm using these dotted lines to draw lines and divide it into three areas for operation.

The main things I'm using are the following three:

• SNS update schedule
• Blog update history
• Page view count memo

By separating them in this way,Communication activities can be managed at a glance.This is convenient. The way I use it might change in the future, but for now, I plan to continue with this style.

The ability to view four pages at once is incredibly convenient.

The best thing about this planner is,A structure that allows you to view up to 4 pages simultaneously.By opening the page wide, you can view multiple pieces of information at once, such as daily, monthly, and free pages.

Because it opens so wide that it cannot be captured in a single photograph,

How to use an annual schedule (weight management, habit tracker, etc.)

Once you finish the December page, next Annual Schedule It will appear.

The printing is a bit faint and some parts are difficult to read, but depending on how you use it, this page can be very useful.

The annual schedule is,

This is ideal for situations where you want to see a summary of changes over the course of a year.

I found this page For weight management I use it, and I like that I can see the daily changes at a glance.

After the annual schedule,Approximately 15 pages of free dot grid paper. This space continues, serving as a free-use area for notes, ideas, study logs, and more.

Pros and cons I discovered after using it for a month

Using sticky notes to manage things seems to work well for me, and I've been able to stick with it.

I'm not the kind of person who can stick to a schedule very well, so the fact that I can travel freely suits me.

Of course, there were some aspects that I found difficult to use, so I'd like to share those as well.

Disadvantages and points to note based on my experience using the product.

After using it for a month, my impression was:It works very well with task management using sticky notes.That was the situation.

I'm not very good at sticking to a schedule, but with sticky notes, I can easily move tasks around, so I'm able to keep up without any difficulty.

However, there were some "inconvenient aspects" that I noticed after actually using it, so I'll be honest about those.

The cover tends to shift easily.

If you open and close it repeatedly for about a month,The cover gradually shifts and lifts up.This problem arose.

I'm so glad I got a planner It opens flat, 180 degrees.It's a shame that the cover gets in the way, even though it's part of the design.

Therefore, I decided to take the plunge. Remove the cover before use. Yes, it works. It was difficult to remove at first, but I got used to it and can now remove it easily.

There were no other problems.

Aside from the cover, I haven't noticed any major problems so far.

The paper quality is perfectly fine for writing with a ballpoint pen, and I don't notice any bleed-through.

That's why, to be honest, I feel that the cover design is the only thing that's really disappointing.

Conclusion after using it for a month

After using it for a month, my impression was:A planner that is easy to write in and easy to manage.That's the point. It opens completely flat, 180 degrees, so you can write on any page without any stress.

Furthermore, thanks to the structure that allows you to view multiple pages simultaneously, It's incredibly useful as a "mother ship notebook" that lets you grasp the overall picture of your schedule in an instant.I am doing it.

It has become almost my primary planner.
