HOW TO USE A PAST YEAR PLANNER(free organisation's planner) By organisation planner I mean those free agendas that companies give to their workers or spread at different shops or other companies as means of marketing.(Those that have a companies name printed in big letters on the cover and every page with their logo or the like) As a matter of fact you can use this method for any past year planner. (I was lucky, my dad gave me a past year moleskine daily agenda ^_^) 1. The cover- depending on how big the logos or the year the planner was intended to be used you may want to stick something on that or if it is very very apparent and can't be covered then you can make a fabric cover for it. 2. Cover the year inside of the pages- I used a thin flag to cover it, as for the pages that have calendars on them well: 3. Use free month calendars(maybe you got a table calendar by the same company which gave you the planner) and cut them and stick them to the pages with the calendars intended in the planner 4. And lastly, what bothers you most when using a past year planner is the fact that dates have the wrong days of the week for your current year of usage, you can fix this by some free planner stickers(the source of my stickers is in the photo). And ba-damm! It's as good as new. If you are using this for school and you say for example start school in september, which means that you can only use the planner for 3 months, do this: just use it normally for those three months and when january kicks in start at page one. I hope this helped. Another idea of spending less on a planner/bujo is buying one of those chinese journals with black fake leather covers on them (sometimes they have prettier covers). Those which don't have dates on them, just the place to write the date(usually they have pages with grids). They have a quality good enough to last for the full year and the paper is quite nice plus there's plenty of room for personalisation and quite fit for a bujo since the pages are blank(ok they have grids on them but yet).
