While most Washi tapes simple add a decorative touch to your journal or planner, our SMART Washi tapes work way harder.
These little tapes have captured the attention of the internet on more than one occasion, with the views on our IG reels topping over 8 million for this particular range.
They are all designed to work perfectly in a 5mm dot-grid journal to make setting up spreads quick and easy! (Because who wants to be writing out numbers 1-31 by hand every month?).
There are so many ways you can put them to work. Fancy some inspo? We’ve put together a list of 9 different ways you can use our SMART Washi tapes in your journal.
1. The Original BuJo Classic – A Vertical Monthly Spread
The Vertical Days and Numbers are our most popular Washi tape, and for good reason! They are perfect for setting up a super quick vertical monthly spread. Not only do the days and numbers align perfectly with a 5mm dot grid, they are both 10 metres long, giving you enough for over 64 months worth of spreads!
2. Fancy Something Different – Try a Horizontal Monthly Spread
A slight variation on the above example is using our Horizontal Days and Numbers Washi tapes to set up a monthly spread across a double page.
3. A Quick Monthly Habit Tracker
A vertical tracker can be placed down the edge of your monthly spread as a reminder of those all important habits you need to keep up with. With our Vertical Days and Numbers Washi, it takes just seconds to create! (This could also be done horizontally too!)
4. Try a Rolling To-Do List
A rolling to-do list (also known as ‘The Alastair Method‘) is a great way to organise your tasks, designating a specific day for each of them to be completed. Using our Horizontal Days Washi across the top and our Check Box Washi down the side, setting this up is easy peasy!
5. Try Time Blocking
The unsung hero of our SMART Washi tapes, turn your standard weekly spread into a super-charged organisation tool by time blocking each day. The times on this tape run from 1.00 to 12.00 and repeats 40 times, so you can customise your start and end times to suit your own days.
6. Create a TV Series Tracker
Since most TV series don’t have more than 31 episodes, the Vertical Numbers Washi tape is perfect for tracking your watch progress for TV shows. You could also do this for movies franchises like Marvel, Star Wars, or James Bond!
7. Add Time Blocking To Your Weekly Planner
Thanks to Louise for this fab video – She uses our Days of the Week and Timeline Washi tape to add colourful headers to her planner, as well as adding a time blocking function to the columns. Psst… Did you know this design is available in white, black and purple?? Now you do!
8. Getting Creative – Set Up a Book / Movie / TV Review Spread
Thanks to Claire for this fab idea – She uses our Gold Star Washi tape to review the books she’s read. Obviously you can use the same idea to review movies, TV shows, or anything else you want to give a rating! As with our other SMART Washi tapes, the stars line up with a 5mm dot grid too.
9. Meal Planning Made Easy
Create a cute meal planner for your week using our Vertical Days and Numbers Washi tape. Using Washi instead of writing by hand is a great way to keep the look of your spread consistent. These are also available in black and purple too!
