Would you ever consider doing a walkthrough of how you use procreate? I would love to commonplace in a similar way with my iPad. You are so right about people getting way more interested when you bring out an actual book; I guess it is just not as common anymore. And OH THOSE STICKERS!
I would also be interested in this 😮 I recently started my own digital journal journey and have been struggling to find a way to journal “on the go” digitally and I would love a way to see how you set things up!
The excitement in your voice this whole video was so wholesome & heartening. Always enjoy seeing your process and love a good nerding out over stationery. Looking forward to the Halloween zine!
i'm obsessed with those wrinkly stickers they look so lovely !!! absolutely love it when a sticker sheet has a framing device, e.g. it's a page from an encyclopedia, a map, a computer screen. trying to bring this energy with my own work. i love the sunday sticker club and marrying your planning and illustration !! just lovely to see, i really love how the pages look. my city has a little stationery meetup every now and then and having a dedicated sticker book for the occasion is a really sweet idea :D
I really enjoyed this update! I love longer videos, especially when I can feel how happy you're feeling! Doing pages digitally is something I never would have thought of but it seems SO perfect for the way you work, the way you include your illustrations looks so nice, the way it feels all cohesive. This video really helped me chill out when I needed it, thank you!! 💜🖤
So excited to see you buy the drawer pouches because I’m planning my first hobonichi order and I think I’m getting the Áne pouch in black. But since I’m me, I’m torturing myself about it. I spent hours looking up videos of the pouch last night before bed. So it’s really nice to see the exact model/colour, and also I feel like I have a better mental image of how big it will be in person now
I have the cat ane pouch and I REALLY like it. It holds a ton. I keep stickers, book darts, a ruler, washi and such that I bring to work with me. such a great item.
I, too, have been researching about the pouch. I love that it can hold so much. I have a delfonics pouch in medium, so I wonder how it compares. It'll be $75 total if I order. Shew.
This might be hard to get, but for the issue of the bulky a5 covers, I know Korean binders aren’t as big as a Filofax. A lot of K-pop fans use them to store photocards and such if you want to look into it. Which is also cool cause they use plastic sleeves and you could store ephemera in it, they make different sizes from card size to postcard size clear sleeves
You can try looking up “6공 다이어리” to see Korean journaling styles. They are very cute and sticker heavy so they’re far from your style but I like how they add so much texture to their pages
the fact that i moved last month probably didn't help, but i'm in the thick of the spring ferals (like oh god breathing stings like the burn of a swimming pool) and am so relieved in the comfort of not being alone
I hate late March, the beginning of Spring is really hard for me too. Mostly because I hate the summer and warm weather, and leaving winter and going to spring is like, here it comes...warm and hot weather. I do ok at the end of spring but the feeling happens again in June and most of the summer I'm just miserable. So I understand the spring hatred. I love the bigger rings system you made. I'm not a rings person, but it looks really nice to me. I bought the same lavender weeks! I know what you mean by the hobonichi haul getting intense this year. I just got my first hobonichi this year and I fell in love with it, but it's a day free. So for 2025 I thought about a cousin, but in the end I realized it was just the hype making me want it and it wouldn't work well for me.
I love the spirit of this video 🖤 As you said, we stick around through all the planner changes. I will try the Hobonichi Weeks next year for the first time and I am super excited. I am normally more of a big book of everything person, but I cannot get all of my special interests into my Hon.
Haven’t finished the video yet but I’m already relating in a bunch of unexpected way (we have extremely different systems). Right now I’m logging my days in little pocket-ish booklets I’ve been making myself. At first making the booklets (folding trimming etc) felt like a project, but now it feels like a chore. So I bought an N2 notebook instead, but I’m going to miss decorating my covers with sticker collages every other month. So I was thinking to either make monthly spreads in one of my books, or decorating replaceable sleeves to cover my fomo A6 hobonichi. Using stickers just for fun is such a joy!
Now I wanna see you put rings in an A5 hobonichi cover, hehe! Loved seeing your frankenstein system. In all seriousness tho I've been considering an A5 filofax/ring binder for budgeting next year but the filofax brand covers are just so blegh and/or crazy expensive. And the thought of rings in those beautiful hobo covers just thrill me. About the Weeks I'd say keep both (unless it bothers you to possibly have an unused one laying around). If I were you I wouldn't be able to choose, i think. I'm so envious of the Yumi Kitagishi Weeks! It's gorgeous and it was a coin toss for me between that and the Purple Night Weeks (that I ended up getting). I'm a big time purple girly as well. 💜 Thanks for the video, from a new viewer. Been binging your vids the past week. Been having a really fatigued/overwhelmed time and watching you talk about planners and stuff is helping me cope. ty!
I loved this catch up video! My friend & I love watching your content & we find so much inspiration every time we meet up & talk about how we want our systems to be like. Also I like the drawer pouch as a carrying case for the weeks! I didn’t really consider it until your video & they have cuter (& cheaper) prints compared to the actual weeks carrying case :)
I went from a notebook (bullet journal x leuch. A5) to a custom ring planner and now I'm back to the good old notebook system. I didn't like how bulky the planner got, how pages wouldn't fit in the rings with time, and then I had to store loose pages in a file folder, they got everywhere, out of order, and it was all just too messy. I think I'll keep my ring planner as a memory planner, with photos and memorabilia. :(
RE- 11:15 ish - you mention the bulky size of A5 covers. I have a nice one that is a frosted clear plastic folder that's A5 (and shockingly not bulky). It's from Cloth & Paper - not sure if they still sell it but I like mine a lot!
I’ve been experimenting with different sizes of rings planners and now you have me considering a5, which could work for me since I don’t tend to carry around my journals and planners anymore (I have a pocket notebook I carry around even though most of my on-the-go notes are on my phone). My problem is that there is always something I like about each size, but I want only one notebook-the struggle! 😂 Maybe I need to embrace the fact that I need change every so often. 😅 Love your video, as always and I hope things are going well for you!
Your nails look great! I actually moved to an original size Filofax because of your content. I thought I would hate it because my go-to planner is a Hobonichi Weeks Mega. But actually, I like it more! So freeing! And I can literally create my own system! Right now, I'm using a Plotter, and it's great.
Always a treat to check in with your videos! The stickers! Would love to see more hauls. Speaking of yokai, if you're interested in them I would really recommend the anime called "Natsume yuujinchou" (or Natsume's book of friends in English), it's my favorite animated series and so beautifully made.
I got an A5 Plotter earlier this year and it really does overcome the size issue. Its like carrying around a notebook rather than a giant binder and it will fit the larger of those two Hobonichi pouches (which I have as well). Its insanely expensive to get outside of Japan (I got mine in Japan), but maybe you can import it through a reshipping service.
you always say your nails look bad but when mine are bad they are literally missing on half my fingers and the rest are cut down out of frustration of them getting in my way when i type. like even grown out they look so good and i can't see any lifting. kudos to your nail tech! how long do you go between sets?
I love the A5 Filofax! Would you consider making the digital inserts for that size for your shop? Or would you recommend buying the personal size and just printing it A5 size?
A5 size too... Hooray!!!! I personally would like the monthly calendar in an A5 to be the same as your standard in the A6 -- I wouldn't care for if about extra space... sure I could find a ue for it, and would stand a better chance of reading my appointments without putting my reading glasses on.
I do this EXACT rings set up in an A6/Passport Carpe Diem TN, in a Hobonichi clear cover, with 19mm rings. 😂 I love it. Gives me the A6 "slim" of my dreams.❤
Loved this wonderful video! Halloween zine yes! Great afive pages they are so beautiful! Loved the whole setup and the beautiful illustration! Hobinichi amazing I like the pouches and the MAGA black so chic, your 2025 is underway! happy Autumn ❤
@@JacquelineJaxI’ve watched this video twice trying to figure it out lol So it’s sort of like journaling but you’re basically just doing it virtually then printing and archiving them in a 3 ring binder.
Hey, thanks a lot for this video ! I was thinking about joining you're patreon but I didnt find an "explaination" on what is avaliable on patreon and not on youtube 😅 would you be able the share that ? Thanks a lot
first of all, love your nails and your illustrations! they fit so well with how the spread looks and ugh i’m in love. i’d love to know the dimensions for the personal rings/a6 hobonichi cover bc I’ve officially been influenced 😂😂
I am super curious about the "referances" page/ divider in the left of your desk.. Would you mind telling me what it is and what you keep for referances?
really cute video!💜🫶 love that the infodumps are back🥹can you eventually talk about when you decide to print your pages? Are you only printing them at the end of the week so the binder is mostly for archiving or are you printing them in-between too? I find this way of journaling really interesting but I don´t know if it would be stressing me to remember to write down everything before printing so I would not need to print the same page a hundred times😅
I am still trying to figure out which size filofax would suit me. I want to use dot grid paper like I would in a bullet journal, and I want some dividers, and I want to have a suitable hole-puncher to be able to add my own pages. the filofax itself should feel fancy and sturdy and it can be used/vintage
My 2024 has not worked for me. I like hearing you talk about "Frankenstein-ing" your system. I am hopeful that my 2025 choices work better. Only time will tell.
Be careful where you order your kamio stickers from. I tried searching for them, found a website that says they sold them. Went to place my order and more $1500 was taken out of my bank account 😭😭😭 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I called my bank and opened up a claim with them but they said it could take a couple weeks to process and because I told them “I placed the order” The lady on the phone was saying that they might not put the money back into my account since I should’ve know where I was ordering from. I know she said she was gate keeping, & she doesn’t have to add where she got anything from but that also kind of sucks because she’s an influencer and has a huge platform so she has to know it affects people
Wow, I bought the same hobonichi weeks by Yumi Kitagishi as you! The small cats are in the heart shape frames, which I looove!ฅ^•ω•^ฅ I will use it for my English learning planner like this year's weeks. The big cat sticker is so great! I have no regrets ᐞ•༝•ᐞ₎◞ ̑̑
Wait SHUT UP. I Hadn’t seen the 2025 stuff yet 😭😭 Been trying to refrain for now. I’m OBSESSED with this one!!!! I thought you were talking about last years
oh! What I bought was the one Megan showed in this video. Yumi Kitagishi’s illustration is so great, and the 2024 year’s one looks so cute too! Thank you for the reply ☺️
