I too used to journal daily and also carried a heavy sketchbook wherever I went. Now I have my Fraklin and I write down everything. There is something magical about putting something in writing....things just start to HAPPEN! The message about incorporating the journal with the planner is particularly inspiring to me, and I sometimes just want to dump out my brain when I am out and about. I do find that I keep to many previous months in my Franklin, rendering it a bit heavy. I am a designer by trade, so today I am going to hole-punch some beautiful Arches watercolor paper and create a sketch section. I'm so happy there are others who are equally obsessed about keeping life organized and our cluttered minds spilled onto paper. Great site.

I'll disagree with that bit though. When you interweave your professional with your personal life you remove the need for multiple 'faces' or personalities. You simply are - there isn't a work 'you' and a home 'you' (or a bar 'you' along with a gym 'you', etc.). I've done both - rigorously separated who I was at work from my personal life and, as now, integrated them. I'm far happier with both aspects integrated. Perhaps that is just me. podoule noted that it thought it was ‘stupid’ to keep work and personal life separate. I’ll disagree with that bit though.
