August Update: Journalling School, DIY B6 Slim Notebook and Fitness Log in Gillio A6 Compagna

-


So I started some sort of art journalling in the month of July for the One Book July challenge.  I kinda want to continue that path but with more focus on "journalling".  I started reading "Journalling School" by Ray Blake to guide me through how to record my life in the form of journal. For the month of August, my goal is to start journalling and also keep up with my fitness.  I team up my B6 journal with Gillio A6 compagna as the planner and fitness log.



DIY a tri-fold leather cover to house MD B6 slim note book with my version of pen loop.  


PPCO # 102 and #083 inserts for my fitness log.


I am still in the process of setting up my A6 Compagna.  Once it is done, I will do a video for both.

xoxo

Hello All, September seems like the month most of the planner people start discussing or deciding what planner to use for the coming year. (Academic year and also Japanese Planner releases) For next year I am tempted to try Jibun Techo. Yet, before I commit to the bounded book planner, which I never be able to stick with a bounded planner for more then 3 months, I want to try the layout first to see if it really fits my need. I just recently acquired this beautiful Fuchsia color classic croc pocket size planner and spent a weekend to have it set up just like (as close as I can) Jibun Techo. Here are the steps I took! I downloaded the guide on how to use Jibun Techo on their official website and blog post from JetPen to get my planner setup.   It shows detail list of "Lists" or "Fields" included in the Jibun Techo.  Based on the guide, I followed and jazzed up the lists that fits my life style.  Some of the things just don't apply to peo

A6 is the new Personal! I jumped on the A6 trend in the mid of July as I am itchy to try something new! For the month of August, I was in Gillio A6 Black and Red Compagna that I got from Gillio Market Place.  I have to say it is NOT loved in the first sight.  I love the configuration of the planner, but for some reason, I am just not that into it. Click HERE to see all the spec. on Gillio Website  During the Labor Day weekend, I went to SJC and met my planner friend who is nice enough to let me borrow her un-widen A6 VDS planner to try it out again.  I have to say I LOVE IT!  The size feels right in my hand and the sturdy leather wins my heart!
