I have not tried a ring planner and I’m happy to see this because I don’t think I would be a ring girlie either! I was excited to hear about the ultrasonic cleaner and the photo storage! Thank you!
You’ve learned a lot! This year, I planner hopped a TON and have also learned so much. I am not a ring planner user-though I like it for notes! I am not a dated planner person-notebooks or undated work best for me! All things to bring into 2025! ❤
As for the classiky box. You can always repurpose it else in your home. I have 4 and use them from different things, like a first aid/medication box etc.
Very true! I’m so particular when it comes to buying things for my enjoyment 😂 I’ve got little hands that get into everything except my desk because they know it’s off limits. However, I could totally use it for household items or even my jewelry! Thanks for the idea.
I have all the Classiky boxes. (All the sizes) and use them throughout my household. My largest Classiky box holds all our medication and it sit so pretty on a bookshelf. My medium size Classiky box holds all my planner stuff and stickers. I have it laid out where the inside looks like a filing box. And the toolbox. The one you have. I actually use it on my vanity and it holds my blushes and eyeliners :) I’m sure you can probably find a use for it. At one time I used one of my Classiky box for tea. It my tea collection outgrew the Classiky box so now I have a whole tea drawer instead. The Classiky boxes are so beautiful I’m sure you can find another use for it :) maybe even a first aid kit.
not a ring planner person either but I still use a DIY one at work. Just a normal 3 ring binder, templates are easy to find using Microsoft for letter size calendar, charts, line, etc. Gear for 3 ring binder are dirt cheap and most company's supply closet already has them, things like dividers, folders, plastic protective sheets. You can even print notes for meeting etc. Also my company bought a whole pallet of laser paper that is pre-punched right before the pandemic as we used to send out info/manual/revisions/ etc to clients, rep etc if they want paper versions to keep in their ring binders. We stopped during the lockdown and after the lockdown, people stopped asking. My dept QC/QA was pretty much the only ones using the prepunched paper and 2 years ago, before the new year I was about to email our purchaser for desk calendars, notepads etc and thought wait why don't we just print it in house and use those. Turns out quite nice, everyone can customize their own style instead of using the same desk calendar. Also turns out laser paper is quite good for fountain pen, Fine Extra fine works quite well. If you have access to free printer ink, paper and the materials and the planner/notebook doesn't have to travel far and aesthetic is not an issue I do recommend the ring simply for the ease of use. Can easily rearrange info, take things out, make it as big as you want or as small as you want. It ain't pretty but don't need it to be when utility is what is needed at work.
If you’re up for a project the pocket Malden de-ringed with passport TRC inserts makes a wonderful wallet (I prefer it to TRC passport covers because of all the extra pockets and the pen loop). I purchased mine already set up for TNs but there are tutorials here on YT.
Oooh! You just gave me an idea! I should totally de-ring it because love the feel and cover. I have notebooks that I could slide in and use it as a cover. Now to learn how to de-ring 😆
love that you shared non-stationery items... can you record a video of you using the ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning your fountain pens? :D Because I'm all for making that process easier and faster!
All your misses were because you made impulsive purchases out of boredom without thinking it twice, but I'm not blaming you because I'm the same exact way
Yup! You got it! There’s a common thread in my misses and it’s the thought that “the price is too good to pass up”. But giving in a buying it at a “lower price” is still money wasted if it doesn’t get used. I hope to be better and more mindful in 2025!
I was exactly the same with the stickers BUT after taking them all out of their packaging I found I use them a lot more.
I should do this! Idk why I feel like I need to keep them in each plastic sleeve with its cardboard backing

Spot on about the ring binder. It’s work 😆

Lovely as always, thank you for sharing ✨ And super appreciate that you included subtitles, thank you 🤎
I totally get the classiky box taking up space on your desk. I’ve wanted one and not invested in one because of the same reasons ❤

Thanks for the video idea! I’ll be sure to add a fountain pen maintenance video soon 😊
Jasmin....guessing it is made of Balsa wood....very lightweight, think model airplane, karate chop boards, etc.
Yes! It honestly feels like a toy for how lightweight it is
