Out of curiousity, which planner do you use and which feature(s)/layouts are the most useful for you? I've started building custom pdf planners for these eInk devices (I'm an rM2 owner myself) and am always looking for insight on how people use them. Have a little website setup for this at https://hyperpaper.me https://hyperpaper.me

My use is still evolving, but mostly I use it for daily "TODO" lists for both work and personal. Secondary I use it for notes about the day. Both are basically disposable, and my "what I did" I type into a notes file on the computer for future reference and searching. The planner I find quite valuable to let me flip to a page in the future and write down a "todo" to do in a few days or weeks. The TODO lists I mark with Done, Won't Do, or Rescheduled for the future. That process is valuable, if I push something off too many times, I evaluate if I really need to do it. I started with the Panda Planner Pro, but I ended up finding the personal and reflective things more onerous than useful. So once I filled up the first one I moved to the Amazon Basics Daily Planner ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078GVYRZG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078GVYRZG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b... ), which I mostly like. I like having two days of todos at once, because I can just see more that way. I'd probably be just as happy to have 3-4 todo columns per 2 pages, 5 would be convenient but probably too small. I'm considering the Clever Fox Pro for the next one, but it's $40 while it has a nice week view, it probably doesn't have enough todo entries, I really need a good 10-15 per day. Maybe I just need a week todo, with daily "priorities". That would probably be ideal. I'd like to try the "timeslots" where I plan out my todo a bit more with times, but that may or may not work.
