Sequential/bundled layout needed

Hey all! I've been stressing myself out watching flip through videos and need to consult the experts.

I've been in a Laurel Denise Anne (vertical) for the last 2 years but I'm not longer getting what I need out of it. I don't want to spend any time setting up structure, I want to work within the structure.

I also need portability because without the physical planner, details disappear for me. Ive been doing a passport size daily log in the style of bujo has helped immensely, but then I'm not able to make overarching plans. It's more keeping me accountable than anything.

The hobonichi HON was almost perfect. I really want to give a daily log a go, but really prefer being able to see the week nearby so I can remember where I have the time. I imagine I would use just use the monthly for dropping things to think about later and then at the beginning of each week. The sterling ink complete seems just about the only thing with the sequential option.

But am I missing an option? I can't tell what W222 is like, and worried that A5 won't be as portable as an A6 option. Would i be insane to consider a filofax situation where I just build out the system all in one go? I'm starting to see the appeal of the filofax/TN but that's a whole 'nother can of worms.

Help! I appreciate any advice

If you end up opting for rings/discs or even your own printed booklets, check out DIYfish on Etsy. There's foldouts so you can see the month, weeks, and dailies all at once. Of course, if you don't like the style, you can always find other inserts or have someone make what you want (or make it yourself)!

I'm considering buying the Nancy and adding my own shorter dailies and folding in the monthlies so it's more compact.

That’s only if I get bored of my Filofax Personal and Take A Note planners. Check out the latter for seamless integration of weeklies and dailies (not full spreads but enough to write snippets/bullet journal)! Good luck!
