September Setup

Hello, Butterflies

For the month of September, I went with a theme of magic. This theme was inspired by Harry Potter the movie, I decided to go with a classroom design.

For September I have in a Monthly Calendar, Goals page, Braindump page, Blog work page, and weekly using the dutch door style.

My Weekly has Good and Bad boxes, Weekly Weather box, Small Monthly Calendar, Meals Box and a Daily Step Count box.  

This month I want to try to use fewer pages when setting up for September, so I am trying to use the Dutch Door layout. This way I can also have all the information on my weekly spreads.

September Setup:

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my September Setup and hope it has inspired you to try new things in your monthly setup.

Dutch Door Layout in a TN Insert

Hello, Butterflies

Have you seen those videos with Bullet Journalers doing a Dutch Door layout? They are able to cut part of the page to see the whole week or month. Are you using a Travelers Notebook and want to do this layout, but don't want to cut the page in your insert.

In my Travelers Notebook, I don't bind my inserts, so that I don't have to worry if the staples are cutting into the elastic band holding them in. For me to cut pages for the Dutch Door layout it makes the insert lay off in my TN. and I find it hard to keep the insert together. 

I enjoy the look of the Dutch Door layout, so instead of cutting a page I just simply fold the page in half that would be cut otherwise.

This way I can unfold the page and lay it flat when closing my TN, or leave it folded to mark my page. with doing it this way I won't have an uneven page, I will have a flat surface to write on when moving on in my TN.

Here is an example of how I do my Dutch Door layout.

This is what the spread looks like when the pages are flat.

I find with doing the Dutch Door layout I am still able to see all my information for the week. I also find that with doing a Dutch Door layout I use fewer pages in my inserts and Bullet Journal.

So give it a try and see if it works with your planning style.

I hope this has helped you find other ways you can do the Dutch Door layout without cutting your pages.
