Now is generally the time of year when I start thinking about next year’s planner. For the past few years I’ve been using my friend Nikol’s Year of the Planner, and before that I loved Ruff House Print Shop’s Weekly Planners. I find having weekly spreads where I can make to do list and note…

A Deep Dive into Elastic Planner Systems (AKA Traveler’s Notebooks/Fauxdori)
Following our previous posts about Ring-Bound Planner Systems and Discbound Planner Systems its time to tackle the “elastic planner” AKA the Traveler’s Notebook (TN) or, when not made by the Traveler’s Notebook Company, the “Fauxdori”.

In the fall, we pen and stationery and planning nerds get excited about the prospect of a brand new year and shiny new notebooks, calendars and planners. But when the rubber meets the road, what do we actually use? Since it’s June already (eeek!), I thought I’d take a quick look at my plans for…
