Choose paper size & get this sheet

Use the pieces

Pick one moment from your week rather than trying to record everything.
Write on a card, or on the blank reverse of the folded note for a longer update.
Cut the piece and add it to a letter or keep it in your journal. Check the size before pairing it with a pocket.

Before you print

Download the sheet you will use. The other pieces in this collection are optional; a full kit is not needed to send one note.

Choose A4 or Letter to match your printer paper. Print at 100% / Actual size. The previews show real PDF pages; physical printing and fit still need a trial.
