Ranging in width from 3-4.5 inches and 4-8.5 inches in length, the pages in these little notepads are cut from unsold expired planner pages! 

I really hated for all this high quality paper to go to waste, and there were so many beautiful dot pages to make use of, so I unbound my leftover 2022 and 2023 edition planners, rearranged the pages, chopped them up, and bound them again for re-use.

Yes, it was a possibly stupid amount of work to make these, but again, I just couldn't trash all that useful paper.  STILL, I made one for myself and when I started using it, I knew I was really onto something. Unlike typical little jot-books, which generally have TERRIBLE paper quality and flimsy covers that get destroyed quickly, these little guys are wonderful to write in and have very sturdy covers!

approx. 100 sheets per notepad.

Note: the back sides of all the pages have planner layouts (weekly, monthly, goal reviews, etc.), but the fronts of the pages are clean dot pages.  one or two pages in each pad have occasional stray marks or printing (see last photo for examples) but nothing too intrusive!  The hard covers are trimmed sections of the Work Play Every Day planner cover and contain portions of the foil cover design.  Length options refer to length of the paper sheets, not the cover + spiral binding.

As a lifelong devotee of all things stationery, I was on a constant search for the perfect planner - one that combined the best of: bullet journaling practices, productivity tools, creativity, self-improvement tips, and task management. This planner gives you plenty of space to keep track of your to-do’s while making sure you don't lose sight of the priorities most important to you.

Not only will it still have a strong, hard cover and a spiral binding, but it will be WAY more portable at a new 6”x9” size! You’ll still be able to use all your favorite pens and markers on the thick, smooth pages you’ve gotten used to (and have told me you love).

Like everything else, manufacturing costs for books have gone way up — word on the street is ink and paper costs have increased as much as 20%, so it"s even MORE exciting that because of a new LOCAL printer partner this year, as well as a lucky break on the exact new paper size, the retail price for the 2023 planners will be the same as 2022.

There will only be 250 copies printed this year, so be sure to get your order in soon, and start thinking about who in your life could benefit from receiving one as a gift. Who is your favorite stationery addict? ❤️

Hand-lettered details

There are so many hand-lettered details throughout the planner, including a unique hand-drawn calendar for each month and labels throughout the book.

Bullet Journal principles, simplified

For some of us, spending hours drawing calendar and planner layouts is fun and relaxing. But for those who want to apply the helpful principles of bullet journaling and would rather spend time on other pen-to-paper practices in their planner, these weekly layouts take you right there: the finish line.

A beautiful gift

Whether your Work Play Every Day order is for yourself or someone else, your planner, stickers, or accessories will come packaged with love and care. I personally wrap every planner, and as I package it up to ship, I say your name and wish you a year of health, happiness, and dreams come true. Mushy? Maybe. Sincere? Always.

Looking back to look ahead

You might think I'm obsessed with the past, but reviewing where we've been is the best way to evaluate what we should change or keep the same in order to plan our best future. You'll find many tools throughout Work Play Every Day for analyzing past practices in order to shape and decide upon your own best practices.

Holistic productivity

Most productivity planners focus on a single goal or career. What sets Work Play Every Day apart is its holistic approach to the idea of productivity.

I hope the tools, creative prompts, and "go further" challenges will help you feel productive in every area of your life: spiritual, creative, emotional, interpersonal, and whatever you identify as ripe for growth.

Oh, and yes, it can help your work life too!
