The Perfect Daily Template: For Personal and for Work

Описание: The morning commute through Chicago is where I find my focus, but the real work happens when the pens hit the paper. Today, I’m walking you through my dual-notebook system: a compact pocket bullet journal for my personal life hub and a 2-page spread in my Iroful notebook for my technical role at work.

From biking across the various locations Chicago has to offer, this is how I stay organized using a mix of classic German engineering and high-quality Japanese paper.
