Many of you know that I practically live in my journals, and I love a dot grid for all the flexibility. I can write, make lists, doodle, or create whatever layout I need that day. But I know that isn’t everyone’s preference—some of you love having lines to keep your writing neat and organized.

So, which would you choose: lined or dot grid? Tell me your favorite in the comments!

Okay, we've talked about capacity, making room, and leaving a little white space this week. Today we're leaving some white space, for some fun Fall/Halloween This or That!

It's October, which means I'm fully committed to enjoying all the little things that make this month my favorite.
So let's play THIS OR THAT — October edition.

🎃 Pumpkin patch OR haunted house
🍎 Apple c***r OR hot chocolate
👻 Cute Halloween OR spooky Halloween
🎬 Halloween movie OR cozy fall movie
🍂 Crisp fall walk OR blanket on the couch
🎃 Carved pumpkin OR decorated pumpkin

I'm pretty sure I know some of my answers immediately, but a couple of these are harder than they should be.

Give me your answers in the comments, and add one This or That question for me to answer too.

Have you ever looked at an empty spot in your planner and immediately thought of something you could put there?
I have. And sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing it.
I'll start with a perfectly reasonable plan, notice that there's still a little room, and think, Oh, I could fit this in too. Then real life arrives, something takes longer than expected, my energy changes, or something unexpected needs my attention—and suddenly the plan that looked completely manageable feels packed.
That's what we're talking about during today's Friday Chit Chat.
As we continue October's conversation about creating space, I want to talk about why an empty space isn't necessarily unused capacity, why our real lives need a little room to happen, and what might change if we stopped automatically giving every open hour another job.
Come hang out with me, and then tell me: Does white space in your planner feel good to you, or does it immediately make you want to fill it?

Have you ever finished planning your week, noticed an open spot, and immediately started looking for something to put there?
I have.
There can be this strange feeling that if there is white space in the planner, I've somehow forgotten something. Surely there's another task I could fit there. Another project I could work on. Another thing I've been meaning to get around to.
And technically, there probably is.
But an open hour is not the same thing as an available hour.
That space might end up being where I catch up because something earlier took longer than expected. It might be where I deal with something I didn't know was coming. It might be where I realize I'm tired and sit down for a while. Or it might remain completely open.
Don't make your plan harder to execute just because you found an empty space to fill.
One of the things I'm practicing this month is letting some of that space stay there long enough to see what real life needs from it.
Take a look at your planner today. Do you have any white space you've been tempted to fill?

Looking for my Tula XII shopping link? You found it!
I get asked where to shop the planners, inserts, accessories, and all the other Tula XII things you see me sharing, so I wanted to make it easy and keep the link right here in one place.
And while you’re here, take a look at this month’s Bundle of the Month!
For $39 each, the October bundle includes a cover, Micro Magnet, lunch bag, and two holiday planning inserts. The Micro bundle comes with two dot-grid inserts instead. There are four sizes shown—XL, Large, Medium, and Micro—so you can choose the one that works for you.
If you’ve seen something I've shared and wondered where to find it, this is the link to bookmark. And if you aren't sure which size, insert, or accessory would work best for you, ask me. I’m always happy to help you figure it out.

I think we spend so much time talking about the big things that are supposed to make our lives better that we forget how much joy can come from the ridiculously ordinary things.
So today, instead of sharing one current favorite, I thought I’d give you a little snapshot of what I’m loving lately.
I’m watching Survivor 51, listening to all the audiobooks, eating all the pumpkin-flavored things, working on my Q4 goals (including a new website!), loving my new foot massager, and, as if anyone who knows me needed this last one confirmed, I am completely obsessed with Halloween.
None of these things need to be productive. They don’t need to teach me something, move a goal forward, or somehow earn their place in my day. Some are things I’m working toward, some help me unwind, and some just make October feel like October.
And I think that fits perfectly with what we’re talking about this month with Create Space. I don’t only want to create space for work, goals, and the things I’m trying to accomplish. I want there to be room for the things I simply enjoy, too.
Now I want to hear yours. What are you watching, listening to, eating, doing, loving, or completely obsessed with right now?

One of my favorite things about putting together a planner is finding all the little pieces that make it feel like mine.

These are three things I’ve been reaching for lately: stencils, washi, and charms. None of them are technically necessary for planning, and I think that’s part of the fun. My planner has a job, but I’m also allowed to enjoy making it something I actually want to pick up and use.

The stencils give me an easy way to add a little something to the page, the washi is probably one of the quickest ways to change the whole feel of a spread, and the charms… well, I definitely don’t need another charm (um yes I do…have you seen my charm wall).

For me, the best planner setup is a mix of function and fun. Some things make planning easier. Some things simply make me happy when I see them. And sometimes that little bit of personality is exactly what makes me want to keep coming back to my planner.

If you could only pick ONE from this photo, what are you grabbing first: the stencil, the washi, or a charm?
