I use a Leuchtturm A6 pocket for reference

I got interested in the Finish Journal because I struggle to finish things, but I'm broke so I decided to try and make my own. Then I learned about the other journals Leuchtturm makes (New Work, Change, Learning) and figured I could incorporate those somehow into my idea of a weekly overview and a daily log, because if it's on one page it's honestly easier for me to remember to use it. Through trial and error I came up with something I'm happy with. I want to record breakdowns and fixes at work, change the way I think about things, remember and archive the things I've learned, and finish things I start. Hopefully I got some of these in this format.

It may be crammed all into one page, but it's together instead of scattered across the journal or several journals having to look for it each time. I feel like I streamlined a good chunk of info together here.

The Weekly Overview.

The dates, and individual dates for goals or events.

A short habit tracker of simple daily stuff

At the bottom, an affirmation, my favorite song this week, and my current obsession.

The Daily log (this one has a lot)

The date and the big picture of the day. Followed by how much energy I have that day, the state my brain is in, and my general mood for the day with red, yellow, green stickers.

I separated my tasks into Must do, Should do, and could do to prioritize tasks better.

Events for appointments and scheduling

Work notes to document faults and solutions later

Tiny wins, for things like tasks super vague or small so they're easier to start out accomplish; like do some dishes, some laundry

Notes for random thoughts or things that don't fit into other categories

Finished list

Changes, anything that I've noticed was different that day

Carry Forward, for things I don't want to forget to bring to the next day

What I'm grateful for, the highlight of my day, and another affirmation(probably going to change that).

It's got a little bit of everything, but if something becomes useless or if I find I'm not using it, then I'll change it on the next daily page.

It's not very pretty or artistically appealing, but I'm hoping it keeps in scope the things that are important to me like personal growth and memory. It'll probably change in a month and I'll be back with a new format ready to post!

Suggestions and comments are always welcome.

Doodle pages, a weekly view, minimalist daily view, a paper ruler I made, and some other pages.

I use an A6 Leuchtturm pocket notebook to help keep track of things I typically forget and plan my weeks out. I minimized the daily plan/log to a two page view from a single page for each day because I kept having lots of empty space on the pages and felt it was a waste of limited space. I also keep an A7 for groceries and other ongoing lists I want to keep but not waste whole pages in the A6.

I finally figured out my optimal daily log format for what's important and what I'll actually write down. The T is for Tasks, E is for Events, D for Dinner, and M for mood. I use these little 1mm stickers to track basic moods; yellow for anxious, green for happy/content, red for angry, and blue for sad.

I've got ADHD so I tend to forget a lot of things and this has been helping me keep better track of schedules since I started bullet journaling a year ago. It's also relieving to have pages that are strictly for notes, progress bars, project planning, and research pages for hyper fixating. I haven't really gotten into much journaling or diary pages, and the sleep/mood tracker pages I never kept up with in the previous notebook.

My grandpa used to write in a little red book to track what he did everyday, more of a journal and less of a planner, but he kept all of the filled in ones and had boxes full of them. That's what I'm planning on doing, I'm on my 4th pocket book and they've become more uniform and planned well over time.

I'm still trying to figure out what other types of pages might be helpful, useful, or entertaining. If anyone has any pages that help them out or different format suggestions I'd love to hear about it. I was also considering a B6, but I'm not sure it'll fit in my pocket.
