I know what you mean I’ve bout 3 Hobonichi Weeks, 2 Hobonichi Techo, 1 Hobonichi 5 year, 1 Erin Condren Focused Teacher, 3 EC notebooks for 2024😩 I still can’t get the right home feeling
A lot of the planners that launched this year are from small businesses - one woman shops. And so the limited quantities and preorders have very little to do with marketing strategies and to do with the financial commitment to launching a planner. As someone that’s designing a planner to launch next year for 2025 I know to well the huge undertaking it is from a time and creativity standpoint to the financial aspect.
Yes, same for Sterling Ink. Totally understand why she launches so early.
Congratulations!
Such a great topic! I was caught up a couple of years ago things changed since i changed my mindset on consumerism and finances and became more content. I think the main problem overall is social media. These problems didn’t really exist until the birth of social media and influencers. I enjoyed your video on this topic
Maybe you are right. I do have none of these problems - and I really have a hard time understanding what‘s happening in the psyche during consumerism. But I have no social media accounts for this stuff except YT and - since ages - I do turn off all notifications for all apps (except my timer app). It is all about being self-determined vs. externally determined. A planner shall serve you, not the other way around! We need to feel ourselves to make good decisions: What do I really need? vs. What do I crave for? Endure reunciation is a big part of it, too.
I was feeling the exact same way.I've not stopped and focused on what I was purchasing and why I started planning. So next year I will be thinking about clarity and context in using the planners I've already purchased and the future planners i want to use.
I’m hoping this year of refocus for me will help with a very low spend year ahead.
I love notebooks. I don’t feel as guilty over those because they are blank and I know I can use them for work or as a planner, but I certainly do not need to buy anymore. But, I allowed myself to get sucked in this year and I purchased more planners than I can use 🤦♀️. I will be selling some, and those that do not sell I must find a purpose for. 😭
I feel your pain :) next year we will know!
They can make great gifts!
Haha. I say that too. I have PLENTY of notebooks.. I truly hope to stick to a no buy for them.
I went over board I know, I intend to gift planners I know I won’t use. In 2023 Ive been using up stickers and Washi and not been purchasing anymore. It is so easy to get caught up.
Would love to see how you set up your scripture TN.
I’m thankful this video popped up on my feed. I especially loved your anecdote about planning as a child. I too have been trying to introspect about where my urges with planning as a habit originated . I also loved how you are not being too hard on yourself even when you’re trying to identify consumerism in your planning life, and rather approach the question with curiosity and calm reflection. Also you have a really calming way of speaking which was so nice to listen to.
Thank you for watching. In thinking out loud at that moment, I knew I couldn’t commit to say I will never buy another cover ever. But, I will definitely be slowing my purchases and be more selective based on needs rather than fear of missing out.
I definitely have changed a lot over the last couple years in regards to how many planners and planner covers I purchase. I was constantly changing things up and never being content and this year I will say for the first time I have forced myself to stick it out and I am so glad I have. I already have my planner chosen for 2024 and really intend on doing the same thing. The cost of things is way too high for me to allow myself to be fickle.
I really enjoy your videos 😊
Consistency definitely helps with clarity. Less worry over what book has what etc. thank you for watching 😊
@@2tinytreasures Exactly!
BTW your mom sounds so cool! A planner was born.
Well, thanks a lot… now you've got me completely hooked on this topic! 😂
This was an amazingly well done video. You obviously have a remarkable brain and a unique ability to organize your days. I'm getting there slowly, but surely, and this video was a real inspiration. (I also loved all the Scripture references.)
Instant subscriber here. Look forward to watching more.
😂😂
Planner consumerism started around 2014 for me too! I also think that was when the planner community sky rocketed!
So many brands and covers have launched since then. I think it was also the time many transitioned from scrapbooking to planners and journals.
Yes! That’s very true! I’ve noticed that with all my stash while trying to figure out my own style. In the end, just a pen and paper will do with the occasional dot stickers lol. 😝
I don’t usually comment on vids but I happened across this video on my feed and I really appreciate it. Consumerism and FOMO is so real when buying planners and stationery. And I’ve been trying to be more conscious and realistic about the things I’ve been buying. Your points really resonated with me, so I’ll be trying to reuse my old notebooks and things that I’ve bought. Thank you for making a video about this topic because I think it’s really important to re-evaluate the way we buy into things that seem “practical” at the time but tend to feed into our rampant consumerism habits
Thank you 😊 it was one I’ve been debating in my head to do since September but didn’t want to come off as critical on others decisions. Just explaining my personal journal and decisions at this point.
Great video - I especially enjoyed your intro/backstory. TFS 🤗
Thanks so much! 😊 I was wondering if I should have trimmed it down but it is the real backstory as to how this all started. Now to get back to simpler times and basics of planning and journaling.
I love this video! This year I narrowed my purchasing to what I actually use: the Hobonichi Weeks and AVEC for planning, and both TRCs for journaling. I still get pulled in when I see a beautiful new product, like the A6 botanical HON. I have to gift it because I never complete an A6! 😅
Loved this... honesty And hope to see more about saving money and using stash
Thanks for sharing sis
Thanks so much for sharing!! I did a stationary no buy in 2021 till 2022 and then this year just exploded with journal cover purchases and other stationary goodies. While I do not regret some of them, I also am taking a step back to ensure I can use what I have and not just fall blindly into consumption for consumption sake. I'm really happy the stationary community is being open about how consumerism affects this hobby and how these videos are becoming more common. I might make my own, but I find almost no joy in editing videos, so thank you again for sharing your experiences!
Thank you for watching 😊 and your input. I’m aiming for a very low buy 2024…hopefully it carries thru to 2025. I’m glad most of the purchases I do have are long term, long lasting covers etc.
So honestly true when watching videos you want to buy and waste a lot next year is a no spend as much .
Great insights! I started using HP in 2017 and loved the idea of refillable discs and reusable covers. Unfortunately I fell into the excessive consumerism rabbit hole because of all of the sticker packs, extension packs, dividers, dashboards, etc. And the funny thing is they don't even sell an entire year's worth of refillable spreads in one package. It became so frustrating for me that I eventually just went back to basic planners that I can find at the drugstore. They worked years ago and they still work now 😆
those journals are so cute, it looks fantastic ❤❤❤
Yes and AMEN darlin’. I keep all I write, I have about 5 feet of shelf space just in note books. I use a lot of travelers note books. They are better at a consistent size. I get mine from yellow paper house. I have for several years.. I have been doing notebooks for. Many many years. I started in college and I am now retired.. m LOL it has been a lifestyle and a have to. I have one leather TN that rotates out…. The note books.. it is a delight to me. Oh and I just subscribed to your channel . Thank you for all your work.
I’ve been meaning to try out their inserts. Will have to take a look at their options. Thank you for the add
Great video! Maybe you can cut that hibino down to have some loose pocket or a7 rings paper if it doesn't work out. That is what I have done with failed Hobonichi books.
This is such a great video. I like how you break it down. There are so many points I agree with and am *nodding along* I feel like there are so many options and opinions spread over social media. And I'm just sitting here with my planner doing my own little thing 😂 It's so easy to get caught up or carried away. Over all the years I have been watching planner videos and planning for. There has been so many. Which I do love watching how people use their planners. It's relaxing and interests me. I find thought that I just do what works for me. Or else it's way too easy for me to get caught up in the fads. And I don't want that 😅 and my budget especially does not want that haha.
Thanks again .. I love how informative your videos are. ❤
While I was editing…my husband was sitting there nodding a long the whole time too 😆 when I look back too when this channel first started, ones were watching my actual layout ideas etc More views were from the work and labor than the hauls. That’s what I appreciate about your channel. Back to basics! Goal for this year for me!
I love it and thank you. Your response made my evening ❤ 🌃
I can relate!
I left a long comment about my planner journey but since I voice recorded it and it was full of errors! So I deleted it. So now I’m just back to say that I really really enjoyed this video, especially the early part when you described your upbringing, your scheduled life and the various planners you used or were introduced to as a child and young adult. Thank you for sharing, that was really enjoyable! And I agree with everything you said in this video. It’s all FOMO, social media, rampant consumerism and I am right there with everyone else. Even though I’m in my mid-60s and I’ve been using calendars and planners since I was a child, I too got caught up in the past 10+ years with all the videos and planner companies. I’m sure I at one time had a planner by every single maker. If you can call out the name of a maker, I probably had one or have one. A great thing happened though in the last year or two. I feel like I’m over my FOMO. In fact now I just get anxiety when I see the over the top consumption of planners, stickers, etc. I’m not there 100% but I am slowly moving towards a smaller footprint. I don’t know that I will ever be down to one planner because I do a lot of research, I have a lot of hobbies and I will always have notebooks to contain that information as well as my planner. In 2024 I’m going to try a Roterfaden. It will hold my A5 planner, a reference Stalogy half year notebook, a scratch pad and a devotional or self care journal. I’ve been a long time user of notebooks, ringbound planners and travelers notebooks. I thought I’d give the metal clips a try with the goal of keeping everything, or almost everything, and one notebook. For my handbag I will have my hobo weeks and when I travel maybe a passport tn. A far cry from what I used to have!
Now I have to look up Roterfaden 😆 but just for research! Thank you 😊 when I was looking into pairing down for 2024 I too realized that a 1 planner only life has never been my lifestyle from the very beginning. So I won’t try to cram my whole life into one but do need to simplify my stash.
This is the first video of your that I’ve watched. Love it! Subscribed. Love that flower vase journal. ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks for subbing!
@@2tinytreasures 😊
HA HA HA! I love this video. I realized how we are all "copy cats" and don't give enough thought before we spend a ton of money. Phew. Thanks for the video. It reinforces my belief that we should not really stick stickers everywhere to look like we are doing something creative. I have realized that journaling for gratitude is very cool with stickers and I also enjoyed doing my dream journal with it. But for the rest, I feel I would prefer solid but practical planning using my own system.
Goals indeed! Thank you for watching 😊
Thank you so much for this conversation!! I have so many thoughts on this topic and I’m working on an idea to help with this! ❤ ❤
We look forward to your ideas 💡
Thank you so much for sharing this! These pitfalls are important to be aware of!
Now to just remember for myself this year
@@2tinytreasures haha indeed!
This is a great video!!! I love your back story and how your mother started you planning and scheduling all the things. The points you highlight are spot on - and how we get drawn in to purchase all the things. FOMO is real and I am working on smart buying. I have added a “conscious consumption” card in large bold letters in my planners. I am really going to make an effort in 2024 to stop “excessive consumerism”. I have many planners to repurpose. I like your idea of ink swatching but I already have one. I am trying to make a list of ideas for repurposing. If you have other thoughts/ideas I’d love to hear them. I am not one to redate though. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I actually watched twice and took notes the second time. 😂
That’s a nice reminder point. I should write ✍️ that phrase too on the pages with my stationery wish list.
So many ways you can repurpose a planner. Or you can gift them too. Some folks couldn’t snag some of them or want to try out outdated ones to see if the planner works for them.
@@JustScribble Yes. Of course. Thank you for reminding me of this!!!
I love this and my goal for next year is to also stop buying so many stickers for my planner. I watch videos on UA-cam and feel like I need to have them too. Something I definitely want to work on in 2024.
I have to widdle down my stash this year.
Great video! Loved hearing your planning backstory! ❤
Personally, I don’t think it’s wasteful to buy planner covers … as long as you use them/keep them in the rotation. Then again, I’m the kind of completionist who wants to fill up her planners and notebooks, but who also needs some change regarding the physical appearance of her planners. Meaning: I switch in and out of planner covers as the seasons change or as my mood changes. The planner itself stays the same, but the cover change gives it a whole new look, which I enjoy.
The only dated planners I bought for 2024 are Hobonichis and they’re what I’m intending to use in 2024 (or, in case of the Weeks, that I am already using). Stayed clear of Sterling Ink, Midori Hibino, and so on. Feel like I didn’t do too badly, even though I did buy some undated Tomoe River Paper planners and notebooks. But these don’t go bad; they’re just waiting for their time to come. Or at least that’s how I justify my purchases to myself 😂
Very nice. 👍 I have some that are complete and just love keeping them in their original cover. I need to get braver about just taking out the old insert and storing it separately from the covers. They suddenly feel naked 😂
@@2tinytreasures I sometimes paste paper or collage on a notebook cover after I've finished writing in it because it has stayed inside covers all this time. Throughout its use, I didn't feel the need to decorate the cover (except with one sticker, maybe), but when I stash it away, I want it to look nice without a cover, too! 😂
New subscriber 🙂 I really enjoyed this video and have noticed a lot of the consumer trend videos popping up on my feed. I have been all about my Hobonichi Cousin and haven't felt pulled into buying other planners, but, I do find myself getting sucked into the stickers and pens. I have so many pens. It is honestly silly. I do love them but look at them and wonder why... Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I enjoyed your video and plan on doing a very low-buy for 2024. I have my planner (Avec Cousin) ready to go and don't worry about not using it or feeling pulled to another planner, but the pens and stickers... 😮💨
My husband asked me the other day if I know how many pens I have. I have never counted. I guess there’s a video coming 😂
@@2tinytreasures 🤣 I have had similar conversations with my husband! I will be watching!! 😁
Interesting video. 💕
Thank you!
We are the exact same person. 🤭
I ordered a Nolty off Amazon, the prices are fantastic and I love it. I really wanted a daily B6 which I couldn’t find in a Nolty, so I’m trying out a weekly. I’ve ordered a Takahashi Daily from Amazon which was also are reasonably priced and I’m excited to try. This is all after getting a Marks edit daily and an Endless regalia both of which I was disappointed in paper quality and they were both very pricey. I’m honestly embarrassed that I’m now awaiting a 4th 2024 planner but wanted to share that Nolty and Takahashi aren’t mentioned much at all on UA-cam and I’m not sure why!!
Nolty is a favorite with penguins creative and Jobs journal but true not mentioned as much. I don’t think I’ve had a takahashi
@@2tinytreasures oh cool, I will check out those channels. I haven’t tried Takahashi yet, this will be my first. It seems comparable to Nolty 😊
I’ve always loved your videos and content. I can’t agree with you more on all counts. My life seems to be in the same lane as your’s regarding simple downsized living. I always end up giving away or donating my excess planners etc . I really need to stop watching UA-cam planner channels.
I’m trying to go back to basics and focus on creating and filling my journals instead of just acquisitions :) this will be a low buy year for me.
I’ve been thinking about this topic a lot. Consumerism got me with planner supplies like pens and markers and social media definitely fueled that. I want to not buy any supplies in 2024.
I’m trying to do the same.
Solutions:
1. Stop watching UA-cam and Instagram
2. Become poor do you can't afford planners
3. Move to Russia where you can't buy anything from abroad
There is definitely truth to number 3. We lived in Ecuador 2016-2018 and I couldn’t get anything shipped or mailed. That definitely kept things simple.
@@2tinytreasures I'm from Russia. Sanctions and inflation made me poor, I lost my online store, and I can't buy any planner from abroad
@@katsmith8263 wow! That’s so difficult! I’m sorry 😞
@@katsmith8263so difficult! I’m sorry!
So travelers makes a notebook binder to store your inserts. You don’t have to keep buying covers.
