I love rounded corners too!
Yay!!🙌 ❤
I truly feel the same about the planner market I enjoy seeing your video
Agree. Why won't the companies provided the same items. Just like fast food places. Over seas they get cool items while in usa its the same boring thing.
Yes, it makes me so sad! We're missing out on so many wonderful products that will never make it to our US based market, unfortunately 😢
@@PaperPensandCoffee It makes me so sad that we get the "basic" version of a lot of products. Even certain car models are upgraded and better overseas.
Here in Europe we are almost in a desert regarding planner goods. Most of them are UK (and you have to pay customs when shipped to EU) or US.
I know you mentioned wanting to try fountain pens and 5 below had a pack of highlighter and half fountain pens I would love to see you review
Love the quality if you don’t mind me asking what are you filming on? Thanks
just my iphone
I love your long videos. please don't say sorry. I love to drink coffee and sometimes ☕️ tea. I appreciate your attitude: gratitude is very important and I also write every night. thank you for your beautiful voice and videos.❤️
Oh, thank you!! 🥹💗💗🥰
Completely off topic- would you share your nail care/ routine?? Your natural nails are amazing! @seaweedKisses
Thank you! Hmm, all I do is take daily vitamins, drink lots of water, and use a clear top coat. I no longer use acrylic/gel nails as they ruin the layers of my nails and take months to recover.
Can you link your hole punch please
it is linked in my description area: amzn.to/3Kjbf3e
I knew I'd like you for a reason. I love rounding the corners of my papers too. I just misplaced mine and hope it will show up soon. I love using those hole punches too. Its a great investment for using in the stationery world. Can't wait to see your next video.
So happy to see someone else that prefers rounded corners, too! hehe. Thank you so much for watching! Hoping to get part 2 up soon!
I am a moleskine girl for years using it as my main daily journal/commonplace book/faith journal etc. Lately I've contemplated using my filofax (which I'm using it as a planner) only for past and future reference. The thing was that I do not like carrying both my moleskine and my planner along with me, it was getting too much. So, what I did was extracting my 2024 monthly's and a couple of the current expenses pages from my filofax, and put them at the back pocket of my beloved moleskine. The personal size is ideal to be put inside this pocket. When I'm done with the expenses pages, I put them back in the filofax section as an archive.
This has solved my problem of carrying both of them with me, since, not only I transfer my whole year from notebook to notebook without me having to copy everything down, but also, I can keep my one notebook as my only carry everywhere having everything with me without missing anything. So easy to do my pre-planning this way having my monthly's with me also.
As for my grocery list and shopping list, I just keep them on post-it notes at the front page of my moleskine, so, again, problem solved with carrying only one journal/planner, that is, my moleskine.
At the beginning of each week what I do is I dedicate two spreads for my planning inside my moleskine (weekly appts, meal plan, weather of the week, important dates I need to remember, tracker, house clean, scripture plan and notes). I pull out all the information I need for my planning from the monthly filofax inserts I keep at the back pocket, how convenient is that!
After this spread of my planning section, I have as much free space as I please to write anything I want for as many pages my heart desires, until the next week, where I'll write down my two planner spreads and so on. Total freedom in writing or anything else you wish it for!
I've tried the expanded moleskine, but since I carry it with me everywhere I go and it's getting heavier as I use it, I find the regular size much more convenient and handy.
For me, I have found my golden balance.
Love all your videos, you are trully inspiring. Take care, Michelle!
Wow, it sounds like you've found the perfect system that works for you! Combining your Moleskine and Filofax in such a creative way is brilliant. I'm sure it makes everything so much easier to manage. That's great that you’ve found a balance that allows you to carry everything you need without the extra bulk. I love how you’ve dedicated spreads for planning and left room for free writing. That sense of "total freedom" is wonderful, isn't it!
I'm so glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos and finding them inspiring. Your approach is truly inspiring as well! Thanks for sharing your process. Thanks for watching, and happy journaling! 😊📓✨
You're so economical and efficient to use a shopping list built on the set up of your store!!!!
Thank you so much!❤
Good idea about cutting a ready made planner into the Filofax!
Watched your video while out for a walk. Thanks for all the great ideas and links. My go to in the morning is a good coffee with caramel nutpods. Tea after that and thanks for the London Fog recommendation-love it.
Love your videos, they are refreshing and have such great planner ideas! Also like that you include affordable options! Like the idea of what I enjoyed/highlight list. Diane in Denmark on her channel is providing four self-care assignments one can choose from on her Friday videos. I think monthly planning with weekly lists might work better for me than daily. I have a goal of walking more, too! That includes nature walks and UA-cam walking workouts like Leslie Sansone Walk at Home and Gina B from the channel Up To the Beat fit has some dance walking workout like her divas walking workout and Tina Turner Dance workout. I like idea of ring planners, so you can add and remove pages but I do not like rings. So, I have been watching index card videos and think that might work for me. For example some UA-cam channels about index cards : Time & Tide plans- index card planning videos and My Craft Orchard- index card system update video.
Thank you so much! I’ll have to give those other channels a look❤
❤
Thanks for the ideas! Looking forward to your weeklies ☺️
I love seeing the inside of your Moleskine, so nice to see real life scribbles like mine.
Oh my analysis paralysis 🙋🏻♀️is my name!
I categorize my shopping list too! I do it by code, P=produce, ect. but I like yours much better.
Ciao ti seguo da un pó complimenti per i tuoi video
io sono in Italia non é che potresti spedirmi qualche copia del tuo taccuino a Spirale pen+gear. Tranquilla provvedo io a spese ed altro grazie max
Really great videos 😊 thanks for sharing
The Juicy Broads mentioned you on their UA-cam Podcast May 26 2024 - Dutch Pen Show 😊
Oh!! Nice! Thanks for sharing! I'll have to check it out
hi how you
Completely agree on the difference in quality and variety of products offered by Franklin Planner in Japan vs US. They have great paper there. It's frustrating.
Analysis paralysis. Same struggle here.
For your new exercise tracker, you could simply start tracking if you did exercise on that day while you are building this new habit. After that, maybe you can decide if you'd like to track distance, minutes, type of exercise, etc. That's what I'm doing anyway. Start simple. Otherwise, I get paralyzed, and I don't track anything.
Do you ever file a fax?
not anymore 😂😉
I have been so inspired by all your ideas! I started using a notebook to jot things down and now I want to use my alphabet stamps to jazz up my planner! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas!!
So happy to hear that!! Yay! 💗💗🥰🥰
I love your planner set up where did you buy your monthly inserts? Did you cut them from a book? If you did can you explain which book you got it from and how did you cut them? They are perfect , love the size of the boxes!! I love your video keep them coming!! Thanks for sharing!!
thank you! I share that detail at the 14:24 mark 😉 Appreciate your support
Been waiting for it
Yay! Welcome!! hehe 🥰🥰
those little pen + gear felt tip pens are SO nice. i was given a pack as a present recently and I was surprised with how lovely they are to write with- I like them way more than papermate flair pens. I love the idea of a little collage of things you're grateful for throughout the month. I'm saving up money for a printer and then I may do the same thing!
u r so right abt FC id rather buy tjings made in usa and support american company! I shud say i really like ur Filo set up but also liking ur moleskine ❤❤😂 i love chunky well loved notebooks ALLLLL MY INSERTS are corner rounded in my filofax. My go to is coffee. I am a south indian ao tbe drip coffee with milk and sugar NO OTHER coffee will do lol❤❤ I enjoyed this vid so much. Lovely share . keep em coming my friend
Great video!! Thank you. I have several planners that are dated and I also white out the dates so that I can use them the following year. I really like the idea for the tracking. That 4 year planner is great for tracking exercise or other things. I have a Franklin Covey from 1995! It’s still in great condition and I do use it every now and then. It’s an A6 size and I love it. I don’t buy FC covers because they are expensive and I don’t need anything so expensive. My favorite drink is COFFEE… 😂. I do make tea in the evenings. I like the YOGI teas. I’ll have to try your tea recipe one day. Looks delicious. ❤
I love watching your videos and getting inspired by them. I usually watch while doing my hair and makeup. Can’t wait for the next installment of the Filofax set up ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video!💚
