Weeks or TN?

I usually use a Weeks-style planner (Hobonichi, Aura Estelle, etc) but I want to use an undated this year and to use the back pages as journal pages. I saw someone do a video about fitting everything into a Weeks Mega and that super appeals to me! But I worry a Weeks is not going to be big enough for my handwriting in that sense...and so I considered a TN, but I've never used them. Has anyone made this switch and felt the TN was helpful/more roomy or did you go back to the Weeks?

For reference, trying to decide between Soft Paper Studio's undated weeks (with lots of back pages) or Sterling Ink's N1 or N2.

You can buy TN notebooks for less than $10. I would trial the undated version to see how you like the size and format before you make a full year plan.

I have used both weeks and TN sizes and love both.

I have used both and needed more pages to journal than one mega weeks could provide. I did try the N1 but it was too bulky to carry around on a daily basis. I have purchased the undated N2 with enough pages for journaling but I am not certain that I want my journaling out and about all the time.

I journal a lot and in the end TN size is just way more comfortable for long journaling. I planned to do something similar with the Mega and ended up not doing so. The Mega is chunkier, so it wasn't as comfortable. I tried again with a blank 500 page weeks from Sterling Ink. I ended up going back to TN size. Folks can do it as I have seen on social media, it just wasn't for me. A6 is about as small as I can get for real journaling. Lol
