I’m trying out the Hobonichi weekly supplement and I wonder if it wouldn’t be perfect for your personal planner. It’s tiny, only 50 g, and I should think you don’t need much given that you have those other specialized notebooks. I think it’s good to think about personal versus business, portable versus spacious, private versus not so private, important/valuable versus disposable, and how long you want to retain information after the year is done. And think what kind of writing meets those different criteria, then we know what can be combined or should be kept separate. For example, both personal and business planners can be thrown away after a year or two, whereas journals we may want to keep forever. Stuff accumulates, and we should try to keep the bare minimum, and dispose of what we can, and think of that upfront. Something private and important like a journal we want to leave at home and not take with us where it might get lost, so it can be large, even multiple years - we’re going to keep it at home anyway and that’s easier to store than a bunch of annual journals. Personal and business planners should be compact so we can take them with, and there’s a chance they’ll get lost so we probably don’t want to pack too much into them anyway - then, maybe it’s OK to keep personal and business in the same planner - they meet the same criteria. Bullet journaling seems cool, but combines planning and journaling, and I think that’ll be a problem when it comes to disposal later.
I have heard about Hobonichi a lot, but never actually tried it. Now I am using an A5 Filofax for my work and personal/pocket for my personal life. Yeah, it is not perfect, since I am trying to avoid as much as possible having a gazillion different notebooks, but it is what it is. At least for now
This one is a Tombow Homo-Graph 6B (My daughter plays in a orchestra and a lot of musicians use this pencil to make notes in their music sheet) I like it because it is very dark and soft. But my main EDC pencil is a Rotring 600 0.5mm

What kind of pencil are you using?
