Dayleaf

One life, many planners

Method guide · August 29, 2026

Ryder Carroll's Bullet Journal Method introduced millions to "collections" — dedicated sections for different threads of life. The insight: separating streams reduces noise, but they still belong in one book. That's exactly how Dayleaf's planners work.

The classic split

Color-coded planner entries together on one Dayleaf calendar

Together or apart — your choice per glance

The planner switcher shows All Planners woven together (each entry color-dotted by its planner) or any single one alone. Your work review sees only Work; your December look-back sees everything. Filter by planner in Timeline and search too.

Make each planner feel like its own notebook

Give each planner its own color and icon — and with Pro, its own font and text size. Books in a serif, Gratitude in handwriting, Work in something sober. Your eye learns the difference before you read a word.

📚 Three planners are free — a Journal/Work/Personal split covers most lives. Pro removes the limit for the full collection habit.
