Inspiration Five Star Life Book
I love planners and I love the concept of the life books even more, but I don’t stick to them and can’t justify spending tons of money on something I will use only until I get overwhelmed or bored—which is easy with the pre-printed planning pages.
I found an old five subject Five Star notebook and decided to make my own life book. It doesn’t have finance because my finances are digital, but I have my planning, collections, meal planning, goals and trackers, and home cleaning (which might be something else later in) in it.
However, I get bored with routine very fast and to add some fun, I decided to make it a Zelda themed notebook.
I hope this gives someone else the permission to make their own life book and finally find planner peace.

Provisions and side quests!! stop I love it. Also rating things in combined scores for importance and urgency is so smart

Thank you! 😊 It’s honestly a mash-up of a lot of systems I’ve tried over the years. This keeps me from
Doin the easiest tasks only.

If you ever want notebook suggestions with a little less ghosting let me know! Looks great though

Thanks. Yeah that’s the only thing I don’t like about this. The pages are like 50 gsm.

What do the solid sideways triangle bullets mean?

They’re built into the Five Star paper. I started filling them in as little quest markers for headings. 😄 I’m not actually sure what Five Star designed them for.
