Shortlists from this shelf
Questions
- Dated or undated?
- Undated, almost always. A dated planner prints the evidence of every skipped week, and that guilt is what ends the habit. Undated makes a gap structurally free.
- Why does the expensive one keep failing?
- Because cost raises the stakes of abandoning it. Cheap paper you can restart on any Tuesday beats beautiful paper you are afraid to ruin.
