Antithesis for One Book July

If you are in anyway "into" the "planner community", you may have heard about One Book July. 
It is a "challenge" of sorts that says you use just one book (yes, obviously) for the month. Instead of having a journal and a planner and another planner and all this, you do everything in one book. To try and reset what you think you need, to try and stay with one set up for a whole month (which, apparently, people have problems with), and to just...condense.
I don't think July actually applies in any way, other than there isn't really anything that happens in July that requires extra planning.

I've watched tons of videos on YouTube about it, seen plenty of Instagram posts, and multiple blog posts (though it really has yet to translate to Twitter, thank goodness) - and these links will take you to the search results for the subject on the respective websites.

It's a great idea. 
If you need it.
The people, from what I can tell, that are taking part are the kind that jump on every good idea they see (not that there is anything wrong with this). They switch things out as the weather changes, and are always on the search for perfect. Which, is not to say that I am not in the same boat, searching for the best way to do things, but we'll get to that in a minute.

I have multiple books myself (as I know most people do). But I have one planner. I have one journal. Yes, the insides will change, but the planner and the idea behind it never fluctuates - same with journaling. And the journaling bits need to stay separate.

I have tried keeping it all together before. Briefly, though, because it did not work for me. My planner needs to be mobile. My journal does not. And I can write far more in a journal than I can write for planning.
From what I've seen, there are plenty of people who feel the same - that it's weird to have everything together. But convenient, that they know no matter what writing is from the month, will be in one place.

There is no need for it to be in one place. A journal is a journal. A planner is a planner. Two different worlds, occupied by very similar supplies. 
Instead, I've got a planner that is all business (even though there is nothing business about having to remind myself to do laundry). And I have a journal that is all, well, journaling. It's easy. It's perfect. It's only two books (and both are much thinner as of late, from taking out the fluff).
I know exactly where to find anything, and I know exactly where to write anything. And while there may be some redundancy in writing a task down in my planner, and then writing about it in my journal, I'm okay with that. Saying I did something versus thoughts about a task - that does not need to be done in the same place.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe having it all together would be easier. But I doubt it.

P.S. Plus, I don't really want to worry about keeping my journaling bits tucked away secret-like while doing grocery shopping. Because, let's be honest, my planner sits in the grocery cart. And going through check out always has me fumbling about in it for coupons.
But, again, maybe that's just me. Probably is. Meh.
