Step 1: Plan Your Layout

Before printing, plan your page layout. Consider its purpose (e.g., daily log, habit tracker, project planner, bucket list, travel log) and the categories you'll need.

Step 3: Design Labels

Using your P-touch Label Maker, design colorful labels for your main categories or sections (e.g., "Tasks," "Appointments," "Ideas," "Goals"). Don't forget to label your journal as well so you can easily find it when you need it!
