Part weekly planner and part playbook, her books contain over 200+ pages of personal and career development strategies and resources, wheels of life, loads of inspirational quotes, personal and professional toolkits, and most importantly, beautifully designed weekly planning pages that will help you keep track of the many roles and jobs you juggle every day.

Barbara BITONDO designs knowledge solutions in Washington, DC and is a longtime tranquilista who has been creatively customizing her Tranquility du Jour Daybooks since 2014.
 
Now, when I say customizing, I do not mean sprinkling some extra tranquility here with washi tape, but an actual amped up approach to the self-printing process. Barbara elevates the art of planning calm into a full, rich and meaningful life with her Daybook, to producing a dynamic LIFE BOOK bursting with journal prompts, space for more reflection, art journaling, flower petals, check lists and really, so much more!
 
She curates the TDJ content she likes best, then prints six, two-month, bound journals around Daybook pages rearranged and augmented with specially sequenced excerpts from my other books and emerging material such as the quarterly TDJ Live PDFs, retreat playbooks, and Salon guides.

Barbara's step-by-step approach:
Open all the PDFs on my computer and print the chapters and essays I want for the month. I usually print everything single sided landscape on 8.5*11 paper then stick the pages back into the printer and print lined pages with the coffee stain (2018 planner, lined pages from 2019 planner and dot pages from Year of tranquility on the back side and set aside.
Then I print and assemble the monthly planner pages and print those single sided landscape on 8.5*11 paper *Monthly spread, Dreams page from 2014, dreams list page, moon page, also life review page, petal pages, budget pages and flower pages, then I stick these back into the printer and print the lined and dot pages on the back and set aside
Then I print the weekly spreads. Even though I live by the lunar calendar and begin each month on the dark moon, and end on
