StrimPlanPERSONAL JOURNAL
STRIMPLAN JOURNAL · TIME & EVERYDAY LIFE
Personal notes on making plans, keeping the process, and looking back. A calendar can leave room for life, too.
Start with a note01 / PLANNING NOTES
Three small habits to connect intentions, experiences, and reflection.
“Finish a book this month” and “Read for half an hour on Friday” are different kinds of plans. One needs a place to stay visible; the other needs a time on the calendar.
Keep undated intentions with their week or month. Move them into a day when the timing becomes clear, so today remains easy to read.
Important does not always mean today.
A meeting, a trip, or an afternoon with friends is more than a title. The things to bring, questions to discuss, and references to keep all belong with the plan.
Afterwards, leave a sentence or two: what changed, what comes next, or a moment worth remembering. The record then has a story around it.
A day holds details. A week reveals a rhythm. A month gives a sense of direction. A review need not be long, or simply count the tasks completed.
02 / DESIGN JOURNAL
A few considerations from the making of StrimPlan.
Contour, line weight, and empty space work together. A shape’s geometric centre is not always where the eye finds its balance.
A personal background brings character and changes the contrast. Each area of text needs to work with the background directly behind it.
When explaining an interaction, keep the changing content in view. Let the result settle before scrolling on; clarity matters more than showing everything at once.
