While perusing Kmart I came across a notebook labelled as ‘Life Admin Bullet Journal’ thinking it was a dot grid notebook for bullet journaling with a few extra life organizing pages e.g. password logs and other frequently used pages. Well… not quite. It turned out to be nothing like a bullet journal (didn’t even have any dot grid pages). However, it did have a 2 page daily spread which is hard to come by, and for $5 I figured why not?!

Quick facts

• Size: approx 5.75″ wide x 8″ high
• Hardcover
• Undated
• 2 page daily spread
• 2 lined notes pages between each daily spread
• Neutral inside pages

Price: $5 AUD

The Cover

Hardcover in 1 color only:

Approx 1″ thick

This notebook is very simple – just a 2 page daily spread followed by 2 notes pages.. and that’s it!

Undated – stop and start using it whenever you want. I actually think this planner could work well as a weekly planner. I’m intending to use white out or washi tape to cover up some of the titles and the days of the week.

Then turn the right side ‘points to discuss’ into weekly reflection or project space.

Tabs

There are no tabs but there is a ribbon bookmark.

Pen Testing

For a cheap planner ($5) the paper quality was better than I was expecting. Yes there was ghosting but only one of the the marker pens actually bled through.

Pros of the Planner

• Portable size
• Very cheap
• Layout can easily be tweaked
• Rare 2 pages per day spread
• Sturdy hardcover
• Pages lay flat

Cons of the Planner

• No extra pages
• Some pen ghosting

Would I use this planner?

While it’s not actually a bullet journal I think I still would try this planner – but as a weekly planner not a daily planner. For $5 it’s good value.
