I'm really hoping the system will help me not only to plan better, by identifying the things that interfere with the planning, but also to help me create more time for my family. After all, when you can see that you already put in a 10 hour day, it's easier to say, "ok enough for the day, time to do something else". Where I might otherwise just have gone on, because I lost track of time... The 2 colors pen also help identify the personal time and the work time. For now I do it all with Frixion pens, but who knows I might become confident enough in the future to switch back to fountain pens, I already have the brown and orange ink for it... 
I'm pretty happy with the current lay-out. It's nice and clean, it has a visual representation of the day, with the larger stripes on the midday section and has a practical bar to the right side to track the actual time spent. The left side, the planning side is smaller, since I think I can manage the planning with key words, whereas I probably need more room to the right, tracking side, for any notes or larger descriptions of the things that have passed. Hope you enjoyed watching the video's with me rambling about planners. Please let me know what you think in the comments, or maybe when you think of a catchy name for the tracking system. Have a lovely week, xoxo Monique

I am intrigued about the time tracking. So on one site you put what you want to do and the other side what you actually did?
What kind of fountain pen and brown ink do you use? I am looking for a nice brown ink, but can’t find it :(.
And I was wondering, how do you use both systems? Your personal notebooks and your A5 or are they stand alone books?
Love the A5!!
