Journaling Just Works

@Theotime812 @journaling okay so!

While you can journal in a Hobonichi (I use an A5 cousin for example) you can't really write a LOT on one page.

What I would recommend, is when the store opens in september, buy either a Day-free (which you can basically use like a Bullet Journal, it does not have enough pages for you to write in every day, but you said you'd spend weeks not writing so that may work) or just buy one of the A5 notebooks they sell (I will often pick up a few myself)

In particular for the regular notebooks- the grid is smaller than you'd see in English Techos / Cousins / Weeks, etc, so unless you can write really small I would use the advice: ignore the grid. That's how I do it anyway.

@Theotime812 @journaling I have some ideas! One thing to note first off is that Hobonichi notebooks have a smaller grid (3.7mm iirc) so your writing may take up a little less space than usual. Which I find nice.
My ideas:

1. Blank Hobonichi - you can do stuff like highlight important parts of your journal entries so you can find them by flipping through (I do this), or title entries and index them in a calendar or list.
2. System planner - using a binder or open ring notebook, you can have dated pages but add blank pages in between as needed.
3. Divide up pages for overflow - this sounds like it would become chaotic really fast, but maybe you could figure out writing on the second half of the following page or something.

Lmk if you want more details, I love this stuff.

The thing is, when I write entries, I tend to write several pages. Is there a way to "work around" this

Have you considered a refillable agenda, like a Filofax or anything similar? I mean, you can easily use it as a journal and you can easily add as many pages as you need for any given day.
