You're one of a handful of content creators I can listen to at normal speed. Everyone else gets 2x. Haha you're hilarious and great at sharing your thoughts.
@@MusiCrazyEsperanza ha! Best compliment ever. Would that be because I’m so chaotic I talk fast?
😂I thought I was the only one to speed up some content lol😂
@@chapter48creativeI personally like to get to the point facts quick and fast, I’d rather watch a video twice or repeatedly if it’s informative than trying to race ahead and miss important stuff. You don’t waste time🙏
I have to add I did just try you on double speed and maybe it’s my brain but I loved it and was laughing so hard, if you haven’t heard yourself on 2 speed try it you’ll love it😂 My brain just goes to quick lol it’s not a reflection on your content😁🫶
“Who do you want to bring home to the parents?” 😂😂😂
I completely understand where you’re coming from. I simultaneously want all the shiny new planners, AND I want to do the responsible thing and use some of the many, many notebooks I already own instead of buying multiple planners. The struggle is real.
@@thenomadicteacher6946 So. Very. Real. 🫶🏻
First time watcher and I will definitely be sticking around 😊 I’ve watched a ton of these “prepping for 2025” planner videos and this was by far the most entertaining!
@@kylenewsome24 Thank you! I was sad to see it didn’t export correctly and half the video isn’t there, but I’m super glad to see people are still finding it handy. Welcome!!
I love how you organized your categories 🥰🥰 thank you for sharing your process!!
@@mydandeliondiaries Oh hi! And thank you! I recently found your channel and have been enjoying it! 🫶🏻
“There’s something about hobonichi that sparks joy!” YES THIS!!!
It's just so true for me. I'm glad it is for you, too.
Because of you, I bought a Sterling Ink B6Slim notebook and started a health planner!! I’ll be ready for ALL my doc visits!!!!😅🎉
@@user-IdaB YES!!! Our dr’s are not ready for us! To better health in 2025!!
Your personality is so loveable and mixed with amazing humor. New subbie (:
Oh gosh! Thank you so much. Glad you're here.
Your Chaos is always welcome!!!🤣 2:50 “What has been flirtin’ with me…” 💀🤣 Girlfriend, I got some winking at me too! Hell, there’s a Hobonichi A6 cover that I swear reached out of my screen and squeezed my butt!!! 😱🍑 I absolutely agree that there is some thing about Hobonichi that “sparks joy” and I’m not gonna fight it…I will at least be getting the A5 cousin Avecs😍🙌 Love your humor, enthusiasm and your paper with the categories/examples~I did this last year and I’ll make one again, it’s so helpful!🙌💖💖💖
@@ashleydcarlson Haha. That made me giggle. Thank you for getting me. 🫶🏻
@@chapter48creative 💕🙏😁
The Collections being in a ring planner is the perfect idea…you can move things around, bulk it up with zip bags, etc. It’s meant to be chunky and will be more fun…like those popup books for kids! (Beautiful cover, also!) I hadn’t thought about having a knitting journal…I need to change that!! Cause I’m gonna fix my WIP giant Rubbermaid and I have no idea where I left off on the ten halfway done sweaters in there. And…my knitting mojo returned with the discovery of the Flea Sweater…it is my Gen X preppy girl flashback to to 1982 (but ignoring that it was part of the ‘awkward years’…bad hair, braces…you know) but that sweater will happen!!!! A journal of what is a WIP, what yarn is in my stash, wish list patterns/yarns (all the Rowan please!) That’s a fantastic idea. I also love to bake and cook, and I need a recipe book…that’s gonna have to be rings for me. Edited to add: I’m so glad I found your channel! I love that you’re real, we have a similar sense of humor and snarkiness, and I’m not about gratitude affirmations (which are solely designed to make you feel guilty “how dare I complain/be angry/sad/depressed/anxious etc when I have a roof over my head, a family, a job. I should be grateful and just stuff all my emotions down and put on a smile!”) No thanks. That kind of junk is what keeps your therapist in business!
Hello maker friend! You sound like you have LOTS of plans! Definitely dig out those WIP's
Love the energy 😂🫶🏼
It’s my first time watching your videos and I gotta tell you…. I LOVED your vibe, your energy!! I gonna stick around for sure ❤
Yaaayyyy and welcome. I'm so glad you're here!
I’m halfway thru your video and almost spit my tea out because you are hilarious. Came from your previous video - you are such a fresh breath of air! :) But yes, I can relate on so many levels.
Awe! Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. We can't have you spitting out your tea, though...planners could get ruined!
@@chapter48creative 😂👍🏼
Morning! So worth being broke right now, LOL! Thanks for all your ideas, usage, and creativity! I’ve learned so much from you, young lady!! 💚😘
Successful ordering? I had a really hard time with Hobonichi last night (never have before) and it took me 2 minutes to give Sterling Ink all my money. There will be some that I might not use, but I'll figure that out later. I want to have them in hand and figure out which will work best. I still have to do my PapterTess Designs order in October! And I'm so glad you're finding some value in this silly content I'm making. I'm glad you're here.
@@chapter48creative As I’m so glad you popped up for me! But…about those tiny tabs you use…😂 And I bought some notebooks so I’ll keep watching you to find out more ideas to organize my life!! 💚
And yes to successful ordering with a confirmation email almost immediately! So excited!!!!
I get you! ❤
@@ellenl9774 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I laughed so hard at your last video, so now I'm obviously back for more. 😍
@@LittleCocoStudio awe. 🫶🏻 Thank you. I hope you keep coming back.
I love that you talk about different types of spirituality, it’s so refreshing. I have most of my planning plans figured out, but you reminded me that I was considering a manifestation book awhile ago, so that’s been added to the list. The worst part is trying to find solutions without overwhelming myself, and ignoring all of it 😅
@@Amyduckie I always worry about where the line is for talking about my particular spiritual practices. I know it’s my channel, and I can talk about what I want, but I also want people to have a good time and feel comfortable. I guess it’s a way to weed out those that lean close-minded and probably aren’t so much my cup of tea either, huh?
I love this! I don’t tell anyone outside of planner world that I’m planning 4 (smaller sized) planners for 2025 because I know they will look at me crazy 😂 I already get flake from my bestie for not using a digital planner, ironically because I’m a developer but I just love analog for thinking/planning
@@lipsticklover well, you’re welcome here! And I get it…I’m a UI/IX designer but choose analog over apps as often as possible.
29:18 love your handwriting and style here 💗
Thank you. :) It was quite fun, but so time consuming.
You are my kind of unhinged, I mean that in the nicest possible way 😂 I just had to sub. Hi from New Zealand!
Hello New Zealand! And thank you for the compliment. Haha.
Not a fever dream friend!!!! Um same here!!😂😂😂😂
“We don’t body shame around here.” I laughed out LOUD!! 😂😂😂😂 Whatever sparks joy though ✨✨✨✨ But honestly the Sterling Ink B6 slim 👀👀
What happens when you want to bring them all home to the parents?…😩😩😩
@@karmenjohnson6078 omigosh! Haha 🤣 You get those planners, girl, and you tell the parents you have enough love to go around!! 🩷
As a follower of Christ, I call this ‘prophesying over myself!’ ❤ YES!!
Ooh, and where do you get your baby tabs? I really need some for my SI health notebook and all my future SI buys!!! ❤❤❤
I thought Magic Hour said Magic Hair and was very intrigued lmfaoooo 😂
@@artoriamarie1072 Hahaha. That sounds WAY more interesting!
Heeey, thank you so much for this video! It really helped me start my list of thoughts about planners for next year, making my own notes as I watched your video. Super sad the video cut out at the end so I am really hoping you have the rest of the video somewhere so we can watch part two sometime soon! Subscribing ❤
Hi Emily! Thanks so much and welcome. I'm really sorry about that video debacle. I have posted a follow up summary style thing, if that helps. I know it's not the same as fully explaining how I made the decisions. I'm also going to start doing videos of each of my planners to explain how I'm using them. Maybe that will help, too.
@@chapter48creative oh I will look forward to those videos!
I loved watching this video, your ideas and personality are fantastic!
I’m going with just one A6 common planner for 2025 because I’m using an A6 Hobonichi this year and it is a good fit in terms of size❤️ and the common planners blank back pages will mean I will have loads of flexibility to implement some of your fantastic ideas!
Your doodles are lovely btw!😻 I also do a doodle a day and it’s so fun!
I’ve also found the health related planning to be very helpful. I have so much pain every day so it’s super helpful to have lots of data and tracking for my doctors appointments and also to recognise patterns and triggers😊 I wish you luck on your journey towards less pain!❤
@@Andidejager. Thank you so much. I’m sorry you’re battling chronic pain, too. We’ve got this! Also, the A6 is sooo adorable. I’m going to get the A6 Sterling Ink, too. The horizontal…for the studio/side hustle stuff as it’s going to need some extra attention after all. Im excited for 2025.
I am back! It is 200 degrees outside! Anywho….I love your process and your videos! I was thinking about this on the way to town, it is 45 miles to town, I live in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma, it is FINE. 😂 Anywho, my basic problem is I love journals, I love paper, I love paper in journals, I am a snob about paper in the journals, BUT I CANNOT STAND TO JOURNAL!!! As in write in the things. I don’t want to write about bad things, my brain works like, you just took the time to write about that so you called attention to it so now I will need to dwell on it for like 3 days! 😒 I went to a therapist one time and he said, set a timer to 15 minutes and write everything that is in your head for those 15 mins but when the timer goes off you stop thinking about all of those things. Okay this is a plan. First of all 15 minutes is forever, I was having to think of stuff that I didn’t have in my head and when the timer went off I had the stuff that was bothering me highlighted PLUS everything I wasnt thinking about bothering me too! That was a bad plan, for my hyperactive brain. 😑 I also have disc bound planners going so there is that and junk journals to use up paper that I have everywhere so there is also that. I am a jotter not a writer, if that makes sense. So I am going for the Hemlock and Oak because of the paper and I love gluing and taping and stamping and then some size of the Sterling Ink that I can carry around because I cannot keep a thought in my head for 10 minutes? This sounds like a plan but it really isn’t that great of a plan because too much is up on the air. I also watched the entire Hobonichi video and I would be lying if I said I didn’t want a cover, I mean several, but I could narrow that down. What to do with that? I don’t know 🤷🏼♀️ Sooooo, yeah… 😂 Talk to you next video! 😂
Anger issues here, girl! My therapist shared kind of the same thing... Journal it. Get it all out! ALL of it! Yell, scream, shout, cuss (I could make Samuel L. Jackson blush). Get it out until you are literally exhausted and cant write any more. Then I was to take it to someone safe (my therapist was my safe place att) read it out loud and then BURN IT. That was 25 years ago now. I do much better now, but I still journal. I write everything down like I am speaking right to Father God. Getting it all out - deeply, honestly, directly, and without holding anything back has worked wonders. Just wanted to share and encourage. I wish you all the best ❤
@@jinoshiosote4049 thank you! 💕
If long form journaling isn’t your cup of tea, but you like being in notebooks…jotting seems a fine alternative. Just a list of highlights from the day.
@@chapter48creative 😂 yes I know everything me and my Mom has done for the last 4 years since my father passed away. By day. In list format, including what we have eaten, what we drink, how much, her moods, my moods, anything I can track. I keep up with her stuff and my stuff. We do have a shared planner, I spent $5 on it so she would write in it because she won’t write in my “nice” planners. She still won’t write in it. She says her writing is too shaky now. But the first time we went to the doc together he said, how are you Annie, she actually said, I am fine, nothing wrong with me. I said, hold up, she has been sad 15 days, abnormally sad for 10 days, mad for 2 days and normal for 4 days. 😂 She was like, hey that’s according to you. I said, that is according to reality. She said, my husband just died, what do you expect? Yikers, I was just trying to help. 🤔 Wowzers. 😬 My brother bought me a tshirt that said, raising your mom is difficult. 😂 The shirt ain’t wrong! Until next video! 💕
@@terrilabeth I’m sorry about your dad. Seems like we have many things in common…including being mama caretakers.
Oh no, did the video cut out? I was really getting into the Paper Tess Health journal and thinking I totally need a system like this for my health as well! Thoroughly enjoyed your video and thought process. Made total sense to me! ❤
It did. I'm so sorry. That video was cursed from the start. Apparently, my software didn't want to include the rest. I'll go over each one more thoroughly at some point.
You are so heartwarmingly authentic in your talking that probably loads of planner girls and guys feel the same you send out to us. Thank you! Go on like this! Greetings from Germany with the same problem of choice... 😅
@@UMS-Arts Hellooooo Germany!! Thank you for watching. I’m still changing my mind on a couple. I hope we both land on decisions that make us happy!
@@chapter48creative It's die same for me. I try not to order a hobonichi, wait for a planner from Twines and Paper and think about the Papertess Pocket *sigh... 🤣
That's exactly what i'm want as well, just someone to talk about planners with. I'm in "2025 planner hell" myself. like I know one or two but there are so many choices now. I like your list, I might have to take my current list and break it down like yours, in larger categories. Right now I have it like reversed, with the planner as the headings and what I'd use it for, rather than larger categories. hmmm. ideas.
Do what works for you. I've tried various versions of this to figure out my planning lineup and have always felt a little unsure in the end. This year feels closer to settled...save for one lingering category I can't decide on.
This is really helpful! Thanks for making this great video.🥰 I feel like Hobo weeks could be a good physical/ mental health and nutrition/ meals tracker or something. The space is limited which is why people usually say they end up changing out of them.
@@Sarah-xw2ff I did use the weeks for a couple years for health. Something about having the habit trackers already set up and the whole week on that one spread I did the meal planning on (in the Papertess) just really does it for me, though! I’m hoping it helps me stay on top of all my stuff.
Using the monthly calendar for gratitude tracking! Chef's kiss. Brilliant. Great visual.
@@Wolridges oh thank you! Are you going to try it?
@@chapter48creative Oh ... you just made me realize what I need to do - Sterling Ink monthly booklet as gratitude tracker + their notebook for journaling/note taking in a Traveler's Notebook. Yeah ... that might be the right setup for non-work stuff.
@@Wolridges I love it!
Well now i know what to use my calindex pages for! I love the daily draw idea
😂 “we don’t body shame…”
“Who do you wanna bring home to the parents?” 😂😂😂😂
@@vrmomoffour9446 I’m such a weirdo sometimes. Thank you for embracing it. 😂🫶🏻
Although I agree a planner needs to spark joy. I don’t agree that you should start with the list of planners that caught your eye - that can be aesthetic, fomo and influence driven and not focused on function. You should start with a list of what you absolutely need in your planner, then what you’d like to have in your planner and then things that would be fun for more joy. Then look to what checks those boxes
Your step 2 is step 1. Your step 3 is step 2. ❤
@@JustScribble If it caught my eye enough to be considered, then it WAS because it would fulfill a functional need for me. Like choosing a partner, “Cute”isn’t enough for me. If I don’t make a list of what planners are really speaking to me for the year, my old lady brain will forget. It won’t, however, forget what I’d need them for.
@@chapter48creativeI understand. You’d just told folks to make the list of what catches their eye first and I think that should go after figuring out what you need. The brain dump you did. Because I see so many focusing on the former not their actual functional needs.
The planner indecision and overwhelm is real! Phew! Well... on the bright side, these planners are much more reasonably priced than the gazillions of specialized accessories I always end up buying for my rings planners lol. I'm a sucker for anything watercolor or floral so I have drawers of watercolor dashboards and book marks. Plus I always laminate everything. All the seasonal dividers really add up. Then there are all the specialized inserts I get sucked into and then invariably don't get enough use out of. I still love rings but I'm enjoying using the Hemlock and Oak, Sterling Ink and PaperTess for more too. It always keeps things interesting, plus I have an ADD brain that's always looking around for a new experience.
@@Sarah-xw2ff What little I’ve played in my new rings…I can see it being quite expensive. I’ve barely dabbled and spent lots already.
@@chapter48creative Yeah it can definitely be a rabbit hole.
12:29 “bitty bob bitty boop” - LOVE it!!! think you’re my planner spirit animal!!! 🦓 🦔 🦒
New sub here! I’ve been watching your backlog too! I love your vids!
@@ghostyplans Well, hello there!!! Thank you for joining me. 🫶🏻
Have you seen the Twines and Paper weekbook planner? Vertical and horizontal spreads for every week, plus lots of habit trackers. I was going for a Sterling Ink A5 vertical, but I must admit to being very tempted by the weekbook
@@sallycourt5919 I have not! I think someone mentioned that to me a couple weeks ago. I’m scared to look. 👀
@@chapter48creative I wouldn’t look actually, after watching a review their customer service is dreadful. I was going to preorder their planner, but I think I will now be getting a sterling ink one as originally planned.
@@sallycourt5919 ooooh. That’s good to know.
New subscriber here! Really enjoying your content. I agree, Hibonichi does spark joy!! Would you let me know where you got the sticker of the girl in front of the VW car? It's so cute!
@@sharkirasiggal1826 Thank you! The sticker MIGHT have been from one of the Pion or Pinkoi sticker sets? I wish I could say for sure, but I’ve had it for years. I just move it from planner to planner.
I think I found it! Try the La dolce vita sticker set tin called Bon Voyage. Possibly at Yoseka Stationery. 🫶🏻
You crack me up! But, I absolutely love how you go through and decide what you will do for 2025…Sterling Ink & Just Scribble threw me off too!! Although, I’m still getting a Hobonichi cover for my common planner. Haha!
@@obxwildcat1 I keep telling myself it’s just one year of my life. Plus…if I don’t end up liking my choices in a big way (which, spoiler alert, has already changed on a couple), I can switch it up however I need to.
This is a super helpful video, thank you 😊. Please could you share where you got the green car/girl illustration sticker? It’s sooo cute and I would love to try and purchase one.
@@Cat_And someone asked me this yesterday and I said it could be Pion, but that I’ve. had it for a few years and I move it from planner to planner and I just can’t recall. BUT “dolce vita” comes to mind now and that feels right. As for WHERE I got the sticker set it was in…I just have no idea. I’m so sorry.
I think I found it! Try the La dolce vita sticker set tin called Bon Voyage. Possibly at Yoseka Stationery.
@@chapter48creative Aw, thank you … really appreciate it 😊
I found Wonderland 222 planners that I am trying, they have tomoe river paper and B6 size in a hobonichi cousin style but more fun pages in the front and non dated dailies so can determine what they are without covering all the crap up. I’m excited! Love ur video you talk just like me!
I have tried the W222. I wonder if I’d like it for my health journal/planner. Hmm 🤔 So many choices!!!
Thanks very much for recording this video, it was super helpful to hear about your thought processes. Personally I'm 90% settled on an A6 Hobonichi (hard to argue with that level of portability) with a companion B5 journal. Not sure yet what notebook I'm going to go with for the journal but I'm currently looking at a Leuchtturm.
@@DarkFire515 Nice!! I just saw that my video was cut off like halfway through. 🤦🏼♀️ I’m going to do a summary style video when I make my final decisions. Gonna have to hurry up and finish my final thoughts!!
@@chapter48creative good stuff, looking forwards to part 2!
I'm a Weeks lover - I use a few, for reading, projects, sleep/dreams, oracle etc. I have TRIED to live without the Weeks (and try the pseudo-weeks) BUT seriously why am I denying myself.
Spoiler alert! I am keeping the Weeks in the lineup. Pistachio Mega, me thinks!!
Your health and wellness planner could be the journey planner in A5. She has everything the common planner has plus trackers meal page spread and dated dailies and of course the weekly vertical. I’m getting that plus I’m thinking long and hard about the common planner in B5 for my health and wellness.
@@pbudinsky1 I don’t know about the Journey Planner, but I am intrigued by B5. Let me know how it works out for you. And if this Pocket I’m in loses its appeal I’ll have to check out the Journey Planner.
26:21 an dated daily might be better for accountability. Maybe 🤔
I think (and hope) the horizontal weekly spread will let me do the things I want to track daily, so that ticks the accountability box. A chunk of my woo woo list aren't things I do daily...mostly as needed/inspired...so the undated pages in the back might be just the ticket.
Scripting = manifesting lol
@@Chaos_and_Creativity Exactly!!! 🫶🏻
What about wonderland 222 ? Vs Hobonichi
@@cathiejo2165 I have tried W222, but it didn’t suit my. We’d quite as well as Hobonichi or Sterling Ink as far as I remember. Maybe I should revisit it, though. Last night I was playing in my A6 Take a Note to see if it would work. Not quite right.
I gotta go to a meeting, who does that on a Saturday 🙄, but I will be back because I gots things to SAY! 😂 I have entered official Decision Fatigue to the point that I am dreaming about it which basically means I am thinking about it to the point that is overwhelming and has spilled into my dreams which are always weird and loud and involved and confusing. 🫤 But I will be back and will be making another comment, this is just basically a disclaimer! 😂 So far I see you, I get you, I am you! I love how you wrote “Spark Joy” but stab at it and say forcefully, “Spark Joy!” 😂 Apologies for laughing but I mean that is how we are all feeling! Oh and I have almost but kinda sorta have potentially decided maybe on Hemlock and Oak for the paper cause I want to stamp and write with all of the things without worrying too much about bleed through with any of it. I haven’t decided between the Weeks or the Daily and I am still in Kinda sorta maybe mode. 😂 Which is closer than I don’t have a friggin clue but not by much? Be back! 💕
@@terrilabeth What I’m hearing (reading) is…we’re basically twinsies? Lol 😆 The alloveredness of this comment says yes. 🫶🏻 Can’t wait to see what else you have to say!!!
