[(00:00:03)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=3s) - The update is being shared in February of 2024. [(00:00:05)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=5s) - A single book is used for everything. [(00:00:09)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=9s) ## Overview [(00:00:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=28s) - A decision was made to purchase a specific planner cover for the year. [(00:04:08)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=248s) - The planner cover is a gelo, specifically the anite color, and has six elastics. [(00:04:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=253s) - The goal was to fit everything into one planner book, inspired by another planner enthusiast. [(00:03:45)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=225s) ## Monthly [(00:06:49)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=409s) - The speaker is using a [[The Travelers Companies | Travelers Company]] notebook with a three-card slot and zippered pocket. [(00:06:59)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=419s) - The monthly planning section includes a month-on-one-page spread from Creative Paper, used as a master calendar for appointments and events. [(00:07:49)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=469s) - A second set of the same insert is used for [[YouTube]] content planning and managing a team. [(00:08:44)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=524s) ## Daily [(00:13:25)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=805s) - The daily section of the notebook has undergone some changes. [(00:13:27)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=807s) - A page per day format was used in January, but now a two-day per page format is being implemented. [(00:13:42)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=822s) - This new format allows for notes, trackers, gratitude, and journaling to be included in the notebook. [(00:13:52)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=832s) ## Memory Keeping [(00:14:21)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=861s) - The page is divided into two sections, with scheduling on the left and memory keeping and journaling on the right. [(00:14:26)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=866s) - The right side features stickers, pictures, and journaling. [(00:14:38)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=878s) - If more space for journaling is needed, a lined page will be taped in, folded, and incorporated into the planner. [(00:15:17)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=917s) ## Tracker [(00:15:40)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=940s) - The speaker moved all of their printed inserts to the front of their notebook. [(00:16:05)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=965s) - The speaker is using a hobonichi style long-term overview planner for their health information. [(00:16:52)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1012s) - The speaker's daily habit tracker for January is complete and they have started February. [(00:17:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1033s) ## Collections [(00:17:23)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1043s) - The remaining lined pages of the notebook are used for collections. [(00:17:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1048s) - Collections include items like passwords and book lists, information that can be referenced throughout the year. [(00:17:33)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1053s) - At the end of the year, the notebook will be archived. [(00:17:47)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1067s) ## Archive [(00:17:53)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1073s) - A [[The Travelers Companies | Travelers Company]] binder with metal spines is being used to archive completed planner inserts. [(00:17:54)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1074s) - January inserts are the first to be archived in this binder, with the hope of fitting the entire year 2024 in it. [(00:18:10)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1090s) - Inspired by Lindsay Scribbles, a decision was made to integrate work planning into the same planner, departing from 18 years of using a separate work planner. [(00:18:40)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1120s) ## Notes [(00:19:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1153s) - Notes are printed on standard-sized paper and include monthly and daily planning pages. [(00:19:16)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1156s) - The notes section allows for the recording of appointments and tasks from various sources, providing a centralized location for managing personal and professional commitments. [(00:19:29)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1169s) - Combining work and personal schedules in one notebook allows for efficient planning and prevents scheduling conflicts. [(00:21:09)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1269s) ## The pros [(00:22:42)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1362s) - The system being used is an all-in-one planner. [(00:23:01)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1381s) - The planner is portable and easy to carry to different locations. [(00:23:04)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1384s) - The current cover is satisfactory and may be used for an extended period. [(00:23:51)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1431s) ## The cons [(00:24:06)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1446s) - There is a limited amount of space in the notebook compared to ringed notebooks. [(00:24:35)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1475s) - It is difficult to use pages from future months before the current month is over because removing pages also removes the back half of the notebook. [(00:25:40)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1540s) - Adding a large number of jump bands to accommodate more inserts results in an undesirable layout. [(00:24:46)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1486s) ## Outro [(00:25:55)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1555s) - A downside of the notebook system is that the next month's booklet needs to be added to the current one, and the old month's booklet needs to be removed at the beginning of each month. [(00:26:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1560s) - Despite the cons, the pros of the traveler's notebook system outweigh the downsides. [(00:26:32)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnFU39iJ08&t=1592s) - The speaker is satisfied with the current setup, particularly the pocket configuration.
