New Pen Day - Pilot Custom 743, Page Anchor, Awesome books I'm reading right now!
A friend gave me a small book by Epictetus and it’s on my 2025 list to go through it and really reflect on what the writings mean to me. Perhaps I should use one of my Many notebooks to do that!
The vast majority of notebooks I use are filled with quotes gleaned from books I've read over the years. Page one will be an index for individual titles & the relevant page numbers. I started out using Moleskine A5 sized books, then transitioned to using notebooks I made myself. The covers became a medium for all sorts of decorative artwork, everything from suminigashi and hitomezashi to silhouettes and Lindenmeyer systems. A few months back, I acquired a stack of manila paper & have made a couple or A6 sized books with that. It's a great way for several of my interests, writing, crude bookbinding, and artwork, to converge.
great video. I am using a Rhoda comp book as I attempt to make a commonplace notebook for myself. Thanks
My VP ef writes kinda scratchy. Amy idea how to fix it? I tried washing it out.
So informative! Thank you. With multiple inserts in your TN, do you remove inserts to use them in order for them to lay flat when writing? How do you navigate that?
Excellent video! you have renewed my commitment to wanting to start a commonplace book. I’ve had a bit of a one in my bullet journal for years, but never so focused and your system is very inspiring.
Glad you enjoyed. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day!
What is the colour called for the twsbi pen??
Hi there. That is the TWSBI 580 Prussian Blue. Hope that helps!
Where did you find those small little tins?
I found them a health food store close by. I think they're on amazon as well. Hope that helps. www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B07CWQZ1RR/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_plhdr=t&aaxitk=7be16fa2e32da1c3db79bf95dfa392e5&hsa_cr_id=3069140870501&qid=1737916511&sr=1-1-9e67e56a-6f64-441f-a281-df67fc737124&ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_mcd_asin_0_img&pd_rd_w=K5wsX&content-id=amzn1.sym.b63e1afd-fa7d-4ee5-8745-6f3b9e8da6bd%3Aamzn1.sym.b63e1afd-fa7d-4ee5-8745-6f3b9e8da6bd&pf_rd_p=b63e1afd-fa7d-4ee5-8745-6f3b9e8da6bd&pf_rd_r=28BPGMG9F5D551VKR5AR&pd_rd_wg=knJUj&pd_rd_r=f8ed533d-c62a-4c71-89e6-ce94b3c61cfc
Thanks for your review. You said this Midori paper is fountain pen friendly. Do you experience any ghosting? I usually use Leuchtturn 120gsm notebooks, but I’m looking for something with daily sections.
Hi there. Not at all although I haven't tried writing with medium broad nibs owing to the limited amount of space. So far it's been great! Hope that helps and have a great day!
I have a junk journal for drawings and random things i find, and a dream journal and a daily journal i love it!!!
It sounds like you have a great setup! Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely day!
I just found one brand new unopened at the goodwill outlet!!!
No way! What an awesome find. I hope you enjoy! Have a lovely day.
My son will be going off to college this year and I mentioned to him how important a planner is needed. Thank you for sharing this video
Glad it helped! Thank you for watching. Warm wishes and have a lovely day!
Amazing u got exatly my setup except the 6 hole a5 file , even ı have the rhodia and 5 year , one line a day , not mudur but
It's great to hear that we share a similar aesthetic and stationery preferences!
For a5 you should got 6 hole file .... what ı do is print and put inm my fıile really awesome
Interesting. Something to ponder about! Thanks for sharing!
Why dıd u get pasaport travellers
I thought I would like the smaller form factor for the Traveler's Notebook but I couldn't find a use for it in my setup. Ironic how I came back with the lochby mini... Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!
Samsung fountaın pens MB and lamy 2000 yoooo where is your sailor !!!
Working on it... lol
Ohh!!! I am so grateful I saw this video. I had the same idea for the Kinosawa Flex notebook - using it for my TN with a fountain pen. I am so glad I saw this!! Beautiful video and beautiful collection of notebooks.
Glad it was helpful! Have a wonderful day!
My wife and I alternate 5 year Journals each year so we can see how one another thought that time last year and the different takes on what was note worthy of the day.
That's a cool idea! Thank you for sharing. Have a great day!
I truly believe you should have more subscribers.
That's very kind of you. Maybe in time it'll happen for now Thank you for watching and I'm glad you are enjoying the content.
Oh - I have 3 Lochbys and love them!! And Composition books have been my fav for many years for just having on hand when working through things, working with my students, or just to scribble ideas, pictures, etc.
It's nice to meet another Lochby lover! Thank you for sharing! Have a great day!
That was a fun video to watch. I love my travelers notebook but still enjoy other notebooks. You gave me some great ideas on how to organize them so my thoughts/notes aren’t all over the place.
Thanks for watching - I'm glad it was helpful!
Great setups for all your interests. I've bought so many notebooks in this past year of many different kinds of papers to try so I've been thinking of ways to assign them uses. Your black backpack is definitely deceiving in size but it holds alot. I like how you are using so many pens at once also. I have many samples of ink to try to and I'm still getting to know my pens.
I love the set-up. I’m curious as to how the 5 year complements your current set up - bought one for my partner this year and I am now low key thinking of getting one for myself.
I love the 5 year. Now that I'm entering year 4, I really like how I can look back at past years and see what I was up to. It's mostly a daily notebook for me. I hope that answers your question but let me know if it doesn't. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
Love what you bring to the stationery community on UA-cam!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback and for watching!
I like that Mk. VII repro bag... a lot more organization options than my Romanian bread bags... though both have a similar army surplus vibe
I had to look up Romanian Bread Bags and have to say they are awesome! I love the aesthetic. Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!
Always a joy and inspiration to watch your videos - thank you for sharing😊
Thank you for the kind feedback! Glad you're along for the journey. Have a wonderful day!
Hi there! In case you mentioned it, I apologize in advance: is it possible to fit another Notebook into the left slip pocket? Regarding height and lenght. Greetings from Vienna, Janette
Hi there! I just tried and yes you can although it's snug. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Warm wishes and have a great day!
Great video, thank you. Love your 5-year, just started one in permanent inks
Thanks for watching! Have a wonderful day!
I really enjoyed this video and love your setups!
Thank you! Have a great day!
Really enjoyed this. I’m hoping to do a video like this soon. Kokuyo is a brand that I want to love. Some of their products are absolutely fountain pen friendly. But some are not. I try to use Jet Pens as a resource because they carry a lot of their products and include paper tests in the product images. One thing I would like to hear about is the desk behind you. What’s the story there? How does it fit into your writing life? What’s your desk setup? What’s inside? Love your channel. Keep up the great work!
Hi There. Thanks for stopping by! Regarding the desk... I put up a couple of videos however will have to create more and finish the story. It's a great desk. See here for a quick overview and another video with the original owner. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day! ua-cam.com/video/ueNk-tneM8M/v-deo.html
Awesome setups! I was gifted a travelers notebook from my girlfriend for Christmas and with other stationery stuff, this video gave me tons of ideas. Great work!
Thank your for the kind feedback. I hope you enjoy your new notebook! Take care and have a great day!
I had to use composition notebooks in high school for Chemistry, which I did not enjoy. You had me until you said Calculus, another topic I did not enjoy. My immediate thought was, “on purpose?” Yuck. 😂 Love your setups. I still am not fully set up for the year but I’ll try to do some more today. How are the kids enjoying their TN setups?
lol. I hope you're doing well. The kids are still enjoying their TNs. I have one more setup to go with my other son. How's the new year?
@ Life is good but still soooo busy!
Is it possible to slot the passport insert directly into the right flap? Or is it too tight?
You can. I tried very hard and finally got it in but it's incredibly snug and I had to jimmy it in otherwise it almost tore off the back cover of the insert. Maybe my leather will give in time. I hope that helps. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
I came to Stationery at 4 for the Stationery. I stayed for the authenticity.
Thank you for the kind feedback. Take care and have a wonderful day!
Where did you get your double pen loop on your front cover of your original TN from please?
Hi there, I got it from Wonderpens. Here is the link wonderpens.ca/products/center-b-pre-order-b-the-superior-labor-leather-clip-2-pen-holder-natural-center?variant=35766377775257 Hope that helps. Warm Wishes and have a great day!
Thanks so much for the link. I really struggle to just use one pen in my TN diary so this might be the ticket for me@@StationeryAt4
Nice 10-year review. I just discovered the vanishing point/capless and have bought the special alloy cheaper version off Amazon. May consider getting Reid’s Stationary to order me an 18k nib if I find the pen to be an EDC for me. i have heard of people buying the metal nib and then the 18k after to essentially get two nibs for price of one. Have you tried the metal nib for comparison?
Hi there! Thanks for sharing about the metal nib. I didn't even know that was an option and have such not tried it. How are you liking yours? Take care and have a wonderful day!
@ It’s coming from Japan in February, so haven’t had the pleasure of trying it yet 😬
Outstanding video! I will definitely use this as a guide to find a system that works for me. Thank you!
is that astronaut sticker a bookmark? so cute...
It is! It's actually a Midori Paper Clip. www.buchanst.com/products/midori-etching-clips-space Warm wishes and have a great day!
Thanks for sharing openly your process and your goals. It takes courage to be genuine and transparent. I appreciate 😊
It's always nice to have a supportive community. Thanks for the kind words!
Yo what clip is that?
Hi there, it's a kaweco bronze clip. reidstationers.com/products/kaweco-sport-nostalgic-clip?_pos=1&_sid=30169bfb1&_ss=r Hope that helps! Have a great day
Wow! What an amazing video! Thank you so much! I have always had a road block when creating vision boards. Part of it was how unworthy I felt and the other was lack of discipline. Your video has given me a guide and step by step how to. Thank you for opening up and sharing your visions. I’m not trying to be nosey but just trying to figure out HOW to write my visions down. This helped tremendously! I have my list now I just need to organize it. Also I love the sheet that you did. Your goals plus your pictures. I love it! Thank you and God bless you and your family. May you have a safe, healthy and prosperous New Year!
I'm so glad that the video was helpful, thank you for your kind words!
Thanks for sharing! ❤
Thank you for watching!

Hi there, that's Diamine Inkvent 2024 Sleigh ride. It's an extreme sheen ink with brown and green. Hope that helps. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
Where did you get the weekly insert? Great setup!
Hi, I got all of mine at Reid Stationer's here in Calgary. reidstationers.com/products/travelers-notebook-regular-refill-2025-weekly-memo?_pos=6&_sid=3170ce64f&_ss=r&variant=46105376915675 If you google Traveler's Notebook Weekly + Memo you may be able to pick one up online or at a stationery shop that's closer to you. I hope that helps. Warm wishes and have a great day!
Tried the Weeks for the first time last year. It’s awesome and slim. Might be right up your alley
Thanks for stopping by and the suggestion. I gave it a solid try but still wasn't quite enough space for me. Glad it's working for you though! Take care and have a wonderful day!
Beautiful pen! I’m really wanting an Edison pen…I love the interesting designs/acrylics and nice nibs. I especially like that they are a small US business and want to support that! I’m deciding between the Beaumont and the Comet. I wanted to ask you what type of paper are you using? I like the style of the section at the top of the paper and the grid. I’m thinking it might be Maruman, but let me know if I’m mistaken! Great review and thanks for showing off your gorgeous pen! (You asked about other nibs…I saw a review of another type of Edison pen with a Jowo steel 1.1 nib and it was beautiful in how it wrote and the reviewer had no issues with the nib as Edison will pre-tune the nib before it leaves the factory.)
Hi there! Thank you for your feedback and sharing. It's been a couple of years since I did this video. It's still in my daily driver setup. I love it but sadly my only Edison right now although I've got plans in the future. The paper I was using is a Mnemosoyne A5 notebook. I love their notebooks and paper. I hope that helps! takenotestore.ca/products/copy-of-mnemosyne-194 Warm wishes and have a wonderful day!
@ Thanks so much!
Thanks for your video - really helped! It would be nice to have some links in the description to where you buy all your TC products (in Canada). Take care
Thank you for stopping by and great suggestion. I've just updated the video with a link to where I bought my Olive Notebook as well as the 2 pen holder clip. If there's anything I've missed let me know and I'd be happy to help. Take care and have a lovely day!
well we loved the "kawecrow" review, well presented, I got mine today !
lol. Thank you and I'm glad that helped. Have fun with your new pen!
I’m huggging my 5 year camel while watching your video. My original Midori and olive tns are in the drawer. I love your common place insert.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing! I just gifted my camel TN to my wife and am happy it's going into great hands but also wondering if I should pick up another camel for myself lol. Take care and have a lovely day!
Thanks for sharing your set-up. I like how you’re incorporating habit tracking into the Weeks pages (I’ve been doing habit tracking in my Hobonichi Techo, but now considering this approach…inspiring). One question: Are you using your TN primarily for your UA-cam and side business and personal tasks? Or, also using for day job work/tasks? I may have missed that in your other overviews?
Thank you for the kind feedback. To answer your question my TN is primarily for my personal life/youtube/side businesses. My day job I keep a simple A5 in my Galen Leather A5 and freeform / scribble / jot notes most of the time as my job seems to be mostly all executed in Microsoft Outlook and Teams. It's a bit of a struggle for an analog guy like me but I'm working on it :) Take care and have a wonderful day!
Thanks for sharing…I too struggle with the analog/digital nuance at work/office…we use Teams and Outlook, etc…but co-workers still take notice of my notebook and fountain pens, always makes for interesting conversations. Really enjoying your videos.
