Why does it start on Monday?
Because that’s how our brains work!
Our week starts on Monday, we work until Friday, and we recharge over the weekend. Splitting Saturday and Sunday just didn’t make sense for our flow—so we didn’t.
How do I use the month layout?
I use it mainly for habit tracking—and sometimes it gets personal.
When I was trying to cut back on drinking, I’d draw a little bottle on the days I had a drink. Over time, I noticed a pattern: three days later, I’d always feel low. That insight changed everything.
I’ve also used it to get my finances under control—each time I spent money, I’d mark a $. At month’s end, I’d count them up. Ten spend days? Cool. Can I aim for nine next month?
Lately, I’m tracking basics like flossing. Why is flossing so hard to stay on top of?!
How do I use the week layout?
Sunday evening I sit down after Roslyn has gone to bed and I pull up my Google calendar. I used my GooOn Sunday nights, after Roslyn goes to bed, I sit down with my agenda and my Google Calendar. I use my phone to capture events during the week, but I rely on pen and paper to actually plan.
I don’t get nitpicky here—I time block based on my priorities, not just my meetings. I think about the goals I set at the beginning of the year and block off time that reflects those values.
Example breakdown of 168 hours/week:
- 🧠 25% = Work
- 🛌 50% = Rejuvenation + Sleep
- 🍽️ 15% = Food + Movement
- 👨👩👧 10% = Friends + Family
Do I hit these every week? Nope. But having a compass helps. It keeps me from wandering into workaholic land and wondering where my time went.
How do I use the day layout?
This is my favorite layout—every day gets its own two-page spread.
The Schedule
On Sundays (if I have time), I fill in my whole week with appointments and time blocks. I break things into 30-minute chunks, and if something only takes 15, I split the line. I never go smaller than 15 minutes—planning should feel helpful, not exhausting.
The To-Do List
Ah, my beloved list. Will I get everything done? Probably not. But a girl can dream.
This is where everything goes—emails, meetings, pumping, errands, research. I never write a task that takes more than 60 minutes. If it’s longer, I break it into 30-minute pieces so I can slot it into my schedule.
Didn’t finish something? I cross it out and add it to tomorrow. If it’s not urgent, it goes on a sticky note stuck to next week’s Monday.
Reflection
Sometimes this just gets taken over by notes. But if I come across a great quote or need a little personal pep talk (thanks, nightmares), this is where it goes.
Notes
A notebook inside your agenda—what more could you want?
Meeting notes, grocery lists, random math, doodles—it all lands here. The page is blank on purpose so I can draw, mind map, or just let my brain spill out.
At the end of each day, I scan this page:
- Once it’s handled, I cross it off.
- Action items get added to tomorrow’s to-dos.
- Notes get sent to the team or filed.
Why is it in 4-month chunks?
Two big reasons:
- A full-year daily agenda with two-page spreads is way too heavy.
- Life works better in seasons.
I tried 3-month chunks—too short.
Six months? Too bulky.
Four months? Just right.
It even matches the school year (which, fun fact, is how this format originally clicked). It’s been a hit with professors, professionals, and people just trying to get stuff done.
Our agenda chunks:
- Jan–Apr
- May–Aug
- Sept–Dec
Why is it spiral-bound?
Because it lays flat. No fuss, no flapping pages, just smooth writing.
