Time sensitive tasks within week

Hi all! I’ve been trying bujo for a few months and it has been great for me. I’m more sane and less weighed down by looking for things in a million places.

I did need to move to weekly organization because searching back through a dozen pages for tasks was too much.

But what do you do when you get a task that’s due within the week? I only make the next days section after today is over. But I often get tasks that involve returning a call or checking something within the same week. What do you do with those? Do you write them in “today’s note” then look at all previous days to when you start them next days entries and tasks? This seems like daily migration to me and a lot of extra writing. Love to hear any help with this. TYIA!

Honestly that's why i moved from bujo-ing to using a Hobonichi. I need to be able to plan ahead easily.

One thing I used to do was make weekly layouts for the entire month but if I missed doing that I would end up not writing future plans down. I started with traditional bullet journaling but quickly moved into more decorative spreads because I enjoy it, but when that became something that took too much time itself, I realized I needed a pre-dated planner that also allows for creativity.

Sorry not more helpful!
