Question

How do I remember to check my journal?

Community Answer

An easy way to remember to check your planner is to write a reminder on a post-it and stick it somewhere you look regularly (mirror, refrigerator, bulletin board, etc.). You can also set an alarm on your phone for a specific time each day reminding you to check your planner.

Can my sections be any size depending on the number of assignments I will have?

Yes! If you are in a school with fewer classes or less homework, you might want to opt for a smaller notebook. Just remember to get something that will fit everything you need it to!

Question

What should I do for the first page?

Community Answer

It's your planner, that's entirely up to you. Start your schedule there, leave it blank, or decorate it with your name or something that means a lot to you.

Question

Can I use a composition notebook?

Kulia Tequila Kaleiohi

Community Answer

Of course, you can. This formatting of a planner is more like a bullet journal and you can customize the planner a lot more but a composition notebook would result in a more professional planner.

Question

What kind of notebook is best, a lined, graphed, or just plain blank paper? Also, is there something I could use instead of a binder because I can only find big binders that don't fit in my backpack?

Kulia Tequila Kaleiohi

Community Answer

Composition for a quick and professional look, graphed for a free bullet journal look, and blank paged notebooks will take longer to customize because, if you are a perfectionist, you're going to want a lot of measurements to get titles, times, and notes on-point!

Question

How should I use school diary?

Kulia Tequila Kaleiohi

Community Answer

If you're talking about a planner, I recommend that you use it to help organize your life. It may just be a School Planner but you take it home to check on assignments, events, and reminders so it casually leaks into other aspects of your life. Use it as a tool and a skill, a tool to organize and a skill to fight stress and impress the teachers who doubt your maturity!

Question

How long does it take to make it?

Kulia Tequila Kaleiohi

Community Answer

If you don't have a notebook on hand, it may take longer but it should only take 30 minutes, depending on the amount of time you would like to spend on the quality and customization. Mine took maybe 1 hour or less!
