Where did you get the cover for STL
I tried to have a Hobonichi A6 as a planner and a blank A5 “dear diary” type journal and even with that I found redundancies 🙈 so now everything happens in my A6 Hobonichi😍 I might get another one for 2025 but am actually leaning more towards the common planner because it would be nice to have weeklies in an A6 size😍 But I could see how it could work the other way around where someone feels cramped in just one book! And how it can be nice to have separate planners for each category of their life!😊
I have read It Ends with us and the sequel It Begins with us... I liked them. Better than some of her books. I'll see the movie eventually. Hope you enjoy both. Catherine completely knocked it out of the park. I thought I knew what I was doing next year... lol. I'm drawn to the adorable pocket daily by Paper Tess, but if I'm being honest... it's too small for me. I adore b6 slim so I think that's the route I'm going too... and most likely the daily as well! I'm not a vertical girlie either, but man do I stress myself out and try 🙈😂🥰 my cousin looks like yours. I basically just use the months and days.
DNF the CoHo book. Might pick it up again over the year end holidays. It's not for young audiences imo
👋🏽💚
Lv is not leather It’s coated canvas And the S in Louis is silent Great review very helpful
Who else is going to try to read It Ends With Us before they watch the movie? If you read the book, what are your thoughts? Also who else saw Sterling Inks video on her upcoming 2025 lineup? Im too excited for this!
I always pull mines out 2nd week of August 😊
Are you still using this wallet? I’m trying to decide if I want to get the small or large size?
Love how real you are with planning in your Weeks ✨🖤✨
Thank you!! I really appreciate you saying that because honestly that is all I have time for lately. Quick planning.
I think you sell yourself short. You are the ultimate caretaker for your parents. That alone is reason to have all things pretty. Do whatever works for you, but self-care is important too for you and don’t neglect it.
You are abolutely right and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts regarding my being a caregiver. Sometimes I am too hard on myself.
I saw reviews saying the A5 foundation was heavy and bulky to them. Do you feel the personal size is heavy to carry around with inserts of course? but because leather is usually heavier than vegan ones. I am hesitating between this personal in black or the one from MyRoadMap
Hey thanks so much for watching. So that planner can get heavy depending on paper weight and also how much you put in the planner.
I am a planner shop on Etsy and I’m about to start educating people on this UA-cam channel about how paper is by far the most important part of making your own planners via digital planner insert downloads. I’ve been printing my own planners stuff for the past two years My perfect perfect cost-effective but still good quality paperweight is 24 pounds . Of course you don’t want copy paper which is 18 pounds to 20 pounds… Even when I have purchased 22 pound paper it’s still felt too thin therefore, printing on both sides felt like the paper was a tiny bit transparent I typically will still buy 28 pound paper but I will use 28 pound paper to print inserts that I need to last for a very, very long time such as a perpetual Callender that I have to keep for the entire year Anytime I have to print my child’s school calendar. I printed 28 pound paper so it’ll last me all 12 months. But things like a daily insert that I rewrite every day and throw away the old one … I use 24 pound paper
I can do 24 lb but love 28 lbs. I definitely agree with you regarding it truly is about paper weight.
I love the black dividers I just purchased black one for my planner
Thank you.
Happy Father's Day to those celebrating and honoring loved ones. Hopefully this brings you some joy or simply provide you with background sound while planning? How are you doing 6 months into the year with your planner stack?
So happy this popped up today- was feeling down with the holiday, but this got my mind off things and kept me on task cleaning up my desk. I'm on the academic calendar, so new year starts July 1 for me. I spent the past few months experimenting with different sizes, but I think the A6 split book common planner is what I'm going with. I love having everything in one book for work. The LD Portriat Planner was tempting, but a bit too big for commuting. Love your book stack, so many good options- spooky season is all year around here lol
@@thepossumplanner Thanks so much for watching. I definitely am so happy to hear that this was able to get your mind off things. I love the idea of having a split book because in the mid year it must feel like you are starting a new book. I do agree that having one planner for work is definitely functional. I am trying to see how this Laurel Denise will work but if it doesn't it doesn't. I'm glad that the Hobonichi still has remained constant for me and it was the one I said I wouldn't get in the beginning of the year, lol. It's great to have new planners that can inspire us. I hope you are feeling better and have a great rest of the week.
Please share info about those pastel index stickies😍
I purchased these from my local Daiso. They are so cute! I love them.
"She" lol, it's a thing. Crazy Americans...
I love my Kindle! I got it for Christmas last year! I mostly borrow books from the library and if i really like the book or series, then I’ll buy the physical book. Plus, i love that i can get a book right then and there and don’t have to wait or got the store/ library. I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! Also if you have Prime, you get one free book a month from a list of book on prime. ETA: i loved Mexican Gothic! The author has written so many great books! If you liked this, you should definitely check out her other books.
Loved Mexican gothic. Also, the Adeline series is on KU.
I absolutely loved this read. Chapter 20 and then 24-26 were 😳😲 for me. I did not expect the twist!
Eeek...Mexican Gothic was sooooooo gooood. Worth a re-read!!🎉🎉🎉
This book was too too good. The twists that I did not expect. I was literally 😲 on Chapter 20 and then 24-26 I was like 😳 on the edge of my seat.
This book was so so good. I did not expect the twists and turns. My mouth literally dropped on Chapter 20 and I was on the edge of my seat from chapters 24-26.
I have an older model. Had it for a while (I absolutely love it). I have to say I forgot about it until I came across your video. Hope you enjoyed it. Great investment.
I really do love the Kindle. The ability to use it for Kindle Unlimited is worth it for me. So I definitely am doing more reading of books I did not get in booksellers like Crave. Thanks so much for watching.
Where did you get the awesome washi tape from?
I get most of my Washi tape from Paper Minty Studio or Lauren Phelps Design online. Thanks so much for watching.
Loved this!!
Thank you so so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Love ❤ the aesthetic is so pretty
Thanks so much.
Girl i’m the same way. Between work, my young daughter, husband, and being a caregiver to my dad, I’m constantly switching planners and am behind in updating them. I never know what the right planner is. Over thinking doesn’t help, either!
Right sometimes over thinking has me switching planners as well. Sometimes it's just trying to find what works in the season you are in.
@@TheMinimalSophisticateagreed! Esp because the needs of my dad has changed every few weeks in the last few months! There’s so many planner options combined with liking each planner for different reasons.
What is your style of journaling? Do you use ephemera or stickers?
Ew subbie here. 🙂🙂
Hello 👋🏽 and welcome. 😀
Where did you get your clear cover for the Moleskine please? Is it just a softback pocket moleskine? I struggle to find covers for them. I can find them for the yearly dated ones but not a pain notebook 😢
I purchased my Moleskine cover from Lauren Phelps Design online.
I removed social media from my phone two months ago and after a decade of struggling to read, I have been reading constantly again. It changed so much beyond reading, too.
I definitely have seen such an improvement in my reading since removing social media platforms. I have seen a change in my attention as well.
I always seem to have a Midori A6 and B6 slim on the go. Lol. Whatever else is happening in my planner world, those two really bring me joy. So now I am using an A6 for all my financial data for the year and the B6 slim is for morning pages. I'll find any excuse to have them in my planner arsenal 😁
I love that you are using what you love and despite whatever is going on you have your A6 and B6. I feel like I always have to continue using a constant in my life, so I understand. Thanks so much for sharing with us. 🤎
I’m so sorry for the winded comment ahead of time, however… I was binge watching since found ur channel tonite. N I’m so curious, if u get a minute to enlighten me or want to, lol I found myself caregiving for my mother after her C-19 episode, she went from active to bedridden to semi moving around since 2021. Living with me now, diabetic, blood clots, now new kidney issues, etc. I found that being digital while on phone with drs / providers along with going into office visits isn’t ideal to pull out phone n give or note info especially if drs think ur texting or not paying attention, kinda rude. Anyway my question is. Do you have a separate set up for the things you keep track of for your parents? I started out with pocket tn but I switched to personal rings so I can make her a binder with sections for history, meds, appts, specialist, etc. just wondering if you have a different easier method.
Hello 👋🏽 I really appreciate you sharing this. I write my notes for my parents in the back of my Hobonichi weeks in sections. For examples, mom’s medications, medical history, hospitalizations and etc. I hope that makes sense.
Bless your heart. Hugs for you taking care of your dear Mom.
@@solascripturamjc9681 thank you, I’m the blessed one to still have her. 😁😁
I wanted to take a quick second to tell you. That I have been so overwhelmed trying to find the best fit for me n my situation. I have DIY’d everything from a 11 disc bound to a micro, tn, rings, disc, composition books, school binders, etc. I found myself thrown into a situation that I was forced to go from being a digital nerd to having paper in hand for care taking of my mom almost overnight. So I sooooo understand the “testing waters” of other options. I think I will forever hop out of boredom lol. I think it’s a situation of… “seasons” I believe in our lives sometimes season change. Doesn’t mean our season “won’t change” just means “it hasn’t changed yet” so no guilt of trying other things when we get bored, u may find one day ur season changes. In the meantime, side note… haven’t tried bound books yet n must say u have sparked my interest to try lol thank you for sharing, so glad I found ur channel. (New sub)
I love that I have you interested in book bound planners. I think it’s a great system for me plus I can review the notes in my Hobonichi Weeks planner.
💕💕💕
Thank you!!! 🤎🤎
Yeah I don't use fugitive inks in my hobonichi because I find they're not archival I had a purple ballpoint that I loved but always faded and turned pinkish. I only really use black or blue uni ballpoint and mildliner highlighter. I use it for practical every day things so I don't use my gels in it.
I completely agree about only using ball point pens because gel pens are a "no" in this planner. I am only going to use my Uni Jet Streams and Mildliners from now on. There is no point in archiving them if the ink changes colors or begins to change.
So glad you found your sweet spot. I’m using the PTD weeks and enjoy decorating with SI stickers, but you gave some ideas for my cover; I’m working on using one book and optimizing all the layouts. Have multiple books has become overwhelming for me as well.
I completely hear you. Having multiple books can be very overwhelming not to mention overstimulating besides getting stressed about not filling in the dates. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this.
You can switch the inks to use the cutest pen: pull the ink cartridge out and push in, any size nib works in all Jetstream bodies
You are absolutely right I can use the cutest pens by switching the inks but I actually like the look of the Uni Jetstream 3 pens however I will always have cute pens on standby should I get bored.
@@TheMinimalSophisticate I meant if you prefer the darker jetstream ink, switch into the Jetstream body you prefer. My English wasn't working yesterday 🙃 I use a slim Jetstream with 0.38 and 0.5 black and 0.38 blue. That pink pen body is so perfect with your setup!
❤️ Love this! I’m back in my 2018 era system-B6 stalogy for all planning, project things, and writing! Feels so good and grounding!
Love that! You completely got this. I sometimes feel like doing what centers you is always best.

Love the hugging skeletons
Thanks so much for watching. So do I! They were so cute.
Love it.
I started a Weeks in December, noticed I have at least 45 weeks kits, said to myself “I want to not be wasteful and use it all”, now it’s march and I want to give it up because the stickers have created so many grooves and I dislike it. I also think I should’ve gotten a mega to have enough space for bullet journaling in the back. Then I have a sterling ink b6 (which I love) but I feel like I’m duplicating stuff and force myself to use it but now the weeks has not enough space for listing. So. I’m stuck for what really works for me right now. I did find the new AuraEstelle weeks and bought it. I think it’s a good solution (think).
Thanks so much for sharing Mari! I did see the new weeks from Aura Estelle and good thing I did not order it since my Hubby got me these too. I know exactly what you mean. I felt like I was duplicating my Personal and B6 and trying to play catch up. So now I think I have found my planner peace, the key word is "thinks."
Oh, I completely get the feeling. I so want to go back to my one bullet journal, but after joining the planner community a few years back and fully accepting my obsession with stationary, it feels impossible 😅 I do have to say, though, that being a planner content creator there are two versions of systems (at least in my case) the one(s) that I truly use and keep at the end of the year and the ones that are more for content creation and that I know will not stay with me a the end of the year. Either way, it is a creative hobby that changes all the time and feeds from different systems. 🫶 I can't wait to see your new weeks. I also got two and can't wait to chat all about them! )
I love that you shared this. I think as someone who truly loves being in this hobby and community, you do gravitate towards what others use however I also find myself getting pulled back in the same direction I was going in before. So for me, it's really important to find what works. I like that you have one for content creation purposes and wish I had the time for that right now. I also like the fact that I now have everything in one system without having to keep up with separate planners. I can't wait to see what you do with your content and truly agree that this is a creative hobby that does in fact change all the time. Can't wait to chat next time!
Who has gone through these exact same emotions? Gone through finding the best system among the chaos of life and feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated?
I am here watching for the 3rd time cause I am shopping for a new cover👀
It hard to choose a cover. I will say that this cover is pretty but also a little stiff. It’s not floppy but you can train it to lay flat.
What is the name of the wallet. Want one thanks
