Since they have a white background and the paper underneath would show through, I used washi tape to cover up the existing numbers first, so there wouldn’t be any show through after I placed the stickers. So I covered up this section with a MAMBI half box sticker which was also from the Happy Planner journaling sticker book (after whiting out the existing text). Mambi gold box sticker from the Colorful Boxes sticker book (no number on the sticker book but it has a blue banner and 594 pieces) Not sure if I got a dud or this is normal, but some of the stickers in the Paper Studio sticker book have been miss-cut halfway through the word.

In today’s post I’m going to show you how to use a very handy tool for bullet journaling – the helix circle maker. You can use the circle maker in an A5 size notebook such as the Leuchtturm, but it will take up most of the page and it’s more difficult to use as there’s no space around the circle to mark up the split into either 31 days for a dated calendar, or 12 section for a monthly calendar (or however else you want to use the circle maker). Place the tip of your pen in one of the mini circles (refer photo above), hold the circle maker with your other hand, then push your pen down and guide it around the page. For a 12 month annual overview or birthdays / events calendar I put a mark every 30 degrees (360 degrees in a circle / 12 months =

Most are in 7 x 9″ page size (my favorite page size) but if you’re looking for something smaller (A5) and affordable to try out this type of weekly spread, take a look at the Kelkaa planner. The columns are too narrow on these pages for me (only 0.75″ wide), you won’t be able to fit more than 1 word (2 if you write really small) so will probably need to color code or use some dot markers. Next, there is a huge 60 lined notes pages which is probably the most lined notes pages I’ve seen a planner include. I think it’s a good option to try a dashboard weekly spread if you haven’t before.

If you get a computer with 8GB RAM it should be able to handle any of the software for making printables (plus store plenty of your personal and business files). My ecourse for using Affinity for making printables is in the works for later this year Plus various other software like Blurb’s Bookwright (for making photobooks) as well as tens of thousands of personal, travel and blog photos, design files, business files, personal files, dozens of tabs open in both Google Chrome and Firefox at any one time etc. If you want to make printables you’re going to need graphic design software and you’re going to want a big screen size to see what you’re doing. SSD is much faster than a normal hard drive so use it to keep your software / start-up files and files you access frequently and then put the rest on a hard drive or external hard drive.
