The Monthly Overview 3 Ways

Here’s 3 fun ways to use your Monthly Overview, one of our most popular themed pages.

The Monthly Overview gives you a clear view of the coming month, and will help you plan longer periods than just one week at a time. There’s many ways you can optimize and personalize how you use the monthly overview - here’s 3 tips from us!

1. Journaling

Use the daily box to write a few words or a short sentence summarizing your day. Think of it as journaling light! It helps to have only a small space to write in, we find - who can say no when the threshold is so low?!

2. Timelines

Add a strip of washi tape to mark off a period of time in your monthly overview. This way you get a quick glance at your vacation days or whatever it is you’re marking off. Perhaps it’s a specific project you’re working on. Marking off the allocated days will help you visualize how much time you really will be using.

3. Doodles

Draw a doodle every day! Pick something that can symbolize that particular day. Or pick only one motif that you draw every day, over and over, and see how you develop your skills throughout the month. How fun to look back at it all at the end of the month!
