@@SterlingInk This video popped up in my feed and I was curious, I already left another post that I am in love with what you have created in the perfect planner for me, so no Hobonichi Cousin for 2025, I’m going with yours! It is beautiful. Such attention to detail. Very calming on the eyes yet totally readable. The additions you made to the 2025 are perfect for what I’m looking for and you have a new customer! I wanted to say, I had no idea you were a small business, I thought Sterling Ink was another big company in Japan with nice products…so I want to applaud you and also will be so happy to support a woman owned small business! Good for you, and well done!! I am so impressed with your products, and the changes for 2025 just created exactly what I need. Thank you!!!
@@Yosaphina Agreed, it makes me really stressed. I'd rather wait several months and know I'm getting the one I need. The multiple release dates I'm also finding really confusing and stressful.
Note for newbies: N1 is a comparable size to Traveler's Notebook standard size. N2 is comparable to Hobonichi Weeks (roughly the same size as the cover of a hardcover Weeks).
This is the definition of planner-heaven in your home, all of these planners readily at your fingertips! Catherine, so impressed by the choices, details, and passion.
Holding orders for people to combine them, just another reason why I will always support your business!! You're always so thoughtful to your customers. Thank you for that!
Oh I hope you never get rid of the half year option in vertical - it's my perfect planer and I take it EVERYWHERE I go. Thank you for keeping smooth covers and adding the yearly tracker. And as someone with a visual impairment I really appreciate the bolder font. I was hoping to see the B5 in a vertical half year option but alas, it sounds like I'm in the minority on that one. I wish I could come help you pack orders - I feel like that would be such a fun job! Gratefully, Sarah
I'm with you on the wish for a vertical B5 half year! I want the extra space for writing, but especially because of the bigger size the half year would make it so much easier to carry around!
Hi, Catherine! I just want to say a huge THANK YOU @29:19 for deciding to put grids on both sides of the pages in the horizontal planners!! This will be such a game-changer for me! Also, I truly appreciate how clearly you showed all the different sizes and how they compared to each other…that was brilliant. 🥰 Wonderful video, many thanks for all your hard work. 💙 Meline
This video cemented my plan of not going with hobonichi this year! The new colors are so pretty and that yearly overview page is awesome! linen and mulberry
Yay! Horizontal layouts! That booklet B5 for long term planning is so tempting too! I've never used planners as consistently as I've used the two I bought last year from work and home. Truly a wonderful product - all of your hard work and thoughtfulness really shows!
I’m really happy you added a B6 Slim to your line up this year. It’s so difficult to find anything in that size. This is like a dream come true. Thank you!
Oh wow!!! I had just planned to get another Hobonichi Cousin…I didn’t know much about these, but I absolutely love the daily planner, the layout, the fonts, the clarity and cleanness of everything (not much visual distraction which I need, but enough to organize,) and all the blank pages for “extras” as well as the large open daily pages. I am in love!!!!! Wow!!!! You’ve hit it out of the ballpark and just won a new customer. I’m so excited!!!! Hmmm…Forest or Caramel? I love them both (actually all of the colors are beautiful, nothing that I wouldn’t like.)
thank you so much for all the kind words on the planner design! Thats amazing to hear your going to make the switch over, welcome to the Sterling Ink family 🥰 also those are both great choices for colors!!
So glad to see horizontal in all sizes (except half years)! Also really appreciate the flat rate shipping over $35USD! It really makes things so much more accessible for myself as an Aussie. So thoughtful of you all to offer it. ❤ A great video, love the look of everything.
The 365+ pages of daily pages make this the most useful notebook on the market. This is where the Hobonichi cousin fails. I hate that pressure with the daily page dated and feeling like a failure when I have blank pages. This section makes it much more flexible for journaling and doing daily pages AS you need them and not feel like you have to do one every day. Wonderful innovation! Thank you:)
appreciate you saying that about the planner and the notebook in the back! Its one of my favorite parts of the common planner to use compared to others!
Hmm, interesting comment. For me its the opposite. The dates on the pages is what motivates me to use them and it keeps me accountable to back fill what i have left blank. If they are just blank pages i will not use them and i end up with an empty notebook. Goes to show how differently people’s brains work. 😮
Absolutely gorgeous planners. The print for 2025 is ideal. And I am in love with the B5 as a work planner. Even the packaging is stunning. All around classy!
I love that you added the yearly tracker! My Jibun Techo has that and it really helps me visualize a year like nothing else. So excited to try a Common Planner this year.
I’ve ordered stickers from Sterling Ink before but have only just stumbled upon the Common Planner in someone’s youtube review. OMG this is exactly what I’ve been looking for and CANNOT WAIT for the release! Every year, I keep trying different planners thinking that I’m going to find what I need, but I think this is FINALLY what I need! So excited!
thats amazing to hear you found us through our stickers then stumbled upon the Common Planner! Glad that it sounds like what you have been looking for too!! 🥰🥰
I have purchased the 2023 and 2024 Common Planners for my daughter and myself. I thought that from day one they were absolutely perfect. I didn't think that there was anything that you could do to improve them. Well, imagine my surprise! You've managed to perfect it AGAIN. And the mulberry, tweed, and linen?!?! Girl, take my money!!!
Oh your line up is magically. I hadnt bothered to look at what you offered because the shipping to Australia normally makes me not buy but you have out done yourself with the cost. I also love that you have sizes that are more common for Australians A5 and B5 and undated oh wow
oh my, so many great colors this year! I'll need more notebooks and planners just to have a piece in (almost) every color! haha Catherine you outdid yourself!! you are amazing!!
I really appreciate your candour about the difficulties of adding items as a small shop. I think a lot of people don't know or understand that each new option across a line like this means several new SKUs per planner type and along with that a whole section of inventory space. Wonderful overview of your products and additions. I hope your shop continues to thrive.
Thank you so much for putting together such beautiful new line. They are all just beautiful!!!! It shows that so much time, thought and effort have gone into this release, thanks again to you and your team!!!!!!
Excellent. I've also learned how color coding helps me cross reference. Beautiful and well thought out planners. And although a small thing, thanks for numbering the pages. I dream of the 24 hr. format but I realize it's a minority concept in today's world. Thorough video. Grid across the pages makes total sense to me. With macular degeneration I appreciate the slight bolding of the pre-printed icons. Food for thought...Monthly overview NOT grouped together but start of each month. Probably a bindery issue but thought I'd mention it. I do way too much thinking about these things. Comes with being 75 and well down the planner rabbit hole. Very useful tool the making the best of life.
Beond excited as your layout is exactly as I love to plan 😍🥰.And I am a B5 fanatic ❤. Living in South Africa normally means that my dream planner is unaffordable as shipping usually more than doubles the price. Your flat rate means that your perfect planner should still be affordable for me - thank you so much!😊
Was considering the common planner for 2025 and yup I’m definitely getting my first common planner after this video! Now to decide which colour to get!
Wow! I’ve never before ordered from your company, but I will definitely be ordering this year. I am blown away by your product line! So excited to be a new customer!
This is literally the only planner I will need. I won’t even need to tip things in or paste pages because you have included it already. I’m very impressed. I can’t wait!
This is an amazing release! I don't know how you do it? I'm so grateful though! I will definitely be getting my beloved N1 in the Full Year. You know, at first (back in 2023) I didn't know what to do with the Quarterly section, but now I've come to plan my whole life in quarters and it's so productive and convenient and those pages are my main guide. Can't wait to place my order!
For work, since it stays at my desk, I prefer larger planners. The fact you made the Common Planner available in B5 may have just won me over. I love the front pages as they are (love the yearly tracker you added, too). My only hesitation in not ordering right this minute? Well, I just wish the months/weeks/days (aka notes pages) were bundled. I am getting the monthly booklet + notebook planner for budgeting and spending tracking/savings.
I love the idea of using the back of the planner in reverse to jot down notes! Sometimes I fixate on making it pretty that I forget it can be fun and messy!!
I am so excited about the yearly tracker and the horizontal layout!!! Thank you so much!!! 💚 Also I LOVE that Forest is staying! I have been in love with it every single day all year long! And I’m excited to bring more booklets into my planning system! The mulberry is gorgeous, and I am already hoping/daydreaming about the academic planner in the tweed! (If that’s an option. If not, that’s ok!)
My adhd makes it easy to get lost in planners with too light of font. I’ve wanted one of your planners for a while, but couldn’t do with the font. This year’s launch makes me so so happy! Thank you for changing it. Now I can watch your videos with my own Sterling Ink . 😊😊😊
You’ve done it!!!!! You have made exactly what I’ve been looking for in a planner. My issue with the first version(excluding light grid) was the absence of a monthly overview page and notes pages. Daily planning is my system. Weekly is plus or minus. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Oh this is perfect ❤🎉 I’m a daily journaler and i always want that all-in-one setup because you don’t really want your thoughts where you plan but two books is too much, etc. I’m so excited for the blank pages!
I am absolutely in LOVE with the beautiful fairy pink and that rich mulberry color!! I agree with the others that you hit it out of the park with these colors and planners they are gorgeous!! I just hope you have enough stock for all of us pink and purple lovers and praying that both colors are available in A5 size 🙏 💗💜 I also wanted to say Thank you for taking the time to explain and also go over every detail about the planners, the sizes, layouts etc. It was so helpful and I look forward to further videos about the A5 sized items!! I missed out on the pink planner, and bought one of the July planners so i could enjoy it sooner instead of waiting until 2025 and Im loving it and so glad I made the decision yo switch. I also love my subscription as well. You work so hard, you listen to feedback and you care what your customers want and that means so much. I am excited to finish the year with Sterling Ink and begin my year of 2025 with Sterling Ink ❤Thank you so much!!! ❤
It’s ALL amazing! I love the daily planner and all of the new colors! You’ve done an amazing job in supplying products for so many diverse needs and desires. 🥰👏🏻👏🏻
When you make the videos for each of the planners, can you please be sure to include the column width for each of the vertical layouts for those of use that use sticker kits?
So happy to see a B6 slim option cause that's my ideal format (big enough to write a lot but small enough to carry everywhere). Also yes to a horizontal option for every format (I hate time blocking :D ) Eying the daily planner as a journal option now
Great video, Catherine. Thank you for being so considerate of your customers. I’ll be ordering probably from several release dates and all during a vacation. I greatly appreciate the “hold” option and great shipping rates to Europe!
I was so thrilled about the detailed video showcasing i just wtached for the upcoming features of the 2025 collection. Your thorough explanations of the available options and limitations are appreciated. The new sizes and colors, particularly the mulberry and tweed, have piqued my interest. Choosing the right size and combination for these shades is a delightful challenge. I have decided on the B6 slim and pocket size, and may consider another depending on the availability of the mulberry color. This upcoming year, I am determined to prioritize self-love and indulging in these planners is a fitting way to embrace that resolution.
Im sooo excited for 2025!! I decided im going to switch to a Sterling Ink common planner from a Happy Planner for work because i just really loved and enjoyed my B6 and Passport from you!
I’m so excited and seriously cannot wait! You are amazing! For next year, my one request would be a monthly weekly daily notebook, and available in B5. This year, I think I’m going to get the B5 common planner and I’m so excited!! Will never get a different planner ❤
I’m speechless 😮. So thankful for just an only slightly darker line visualization. At least I know the color I want 🖤🖤. It’s the multiple sizes and layouts that decision fatigue will kick in 😅.
Im so excited! The horizontal is exactly what I’m looking for! 🎉❤ You guys have done so well to provide something that will no doubt suit everyone while also offering the best customer service! Truly amazing! I really hope I manage to snag what I’ve got my eye on 🤞🏻
I used to need 1-3 daily pages per day. Since leaving my 8-5 job, I’ve felt so weird not doing as much as I used to. Seeing this video has awoken a new me. I think weekly’s is what I’ve been needing to get into a new rhythm. When I don’t write things down, I feel like I haven’t done anything. I’m looking forward to your launch. I want to get the passport, pocket, or slim.
I'm super excited about the release and I love the planners that you have created. This is will be my first time ordering. The B6 horizontal weeks is exactly what I need for my language studies. I have been looking for something like this for the past year, and it's just perfect!
No preorder has me feeling nervous....finally have the perfect planner this year (horizontal n2) and have to cross my fingers that it won't sell out in 30 seconds. Please tell us you will have plenty on hand! I know you are small...it is an insane line up you have...so many pretty options! But after 30+ years as a planner girl, yours are my hands down favs ever!❤
Daily planners poppin off this year. Sooo excited to try y'all's daily as well as just scribbles new a6! Will probably end up still getting a hobonichi too just in case 😅
I have been looking for a Planner/Journal where there is a month calendar, followed by a daily section and I am not able to find ANY company that makes it. For example, there would be a January month calendar spread across 2 pages, followed by 2 monthly trackers/habits pages for January, followed by daily pages for January, (the daily pages would run across 2 pages with 4 boxes on each page), followed by 2 notes pages for January review or pictures or whatever. Every month would be laid out in this same format and can be dated or non-dated.
Thank you, Catherine, for working so hard each year to improve your planners 👏😃 I started using the Common Planner this year, and it’s great 👍 I love how it’s very functional and minimal, so I can change the layout without a problem for those weeks that need it. And now I’m excited for the B5, which is a size I have never used, but seems like the answer to my never ending page tipping because I always tend to write a lot 😅
😊😊 Very informative 👏🏽 I love all the originals and additions, and hope they are here to stay🤞🏽 Interweaving all available options throughout the product line - FANTÁSTICO 🙌🏽😍
Wow! I am impressed with all the options! Way to go! I plan to make my switch this year from the Hobo. Last year I was going to, but missed the preorder (so I am thrilled there isnt a preorder this year! ) and ended up ordering from Hobonichi instead. This year…. Sterling ink all the way! Thanks Katherine ❤️
Thank you for this! I am new to your company, and this was so helpful! I am excited to receive my first order...AND thank you for including Alaska shipping with US shipping. :-P Many companies don't do that. Thank you! Thank you! :D I will definitely be placing more orders.
Omg Catherine!!! ❤🎉 THE COLORS!!! HONEEEY!! That mulberry is all me!! Hhmmm...but I love the pink, linen, tweed too 😂 I'm gonna have to make some decisions! Haha ❤Awesome job on this lineup! Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for all your hard work! It really shows that you care!

@@SterlingInk what highlighters do you use for keeping track of what is what in your planner you showed? Thanks

@@SterlingInk you’re welcome. And thank you for creating this system. It’ll be my third year in the Common Planner - moving from B6 to A5. ❤️
Yes. I have a video comparing all the sizes which can be very helpful too.
I was going to tell people this. Thank you 🙏
This is my Olympics 👀😍

same here!! glad I'm not the only one 🥰
Same!!
Me too! That was my reaction when we saw the first sample of it! 🤭

The color and the size too
Thank you for the larger fonts and heavier lines, and horizontal in every size! Perfect!
Thank you! We are adjusting based on feedback as we go :)
@@SterlingInk this is gorgeous!!!
You hit it out of the park with the new colors. Team “Linen”
This may be my favorite of the new colors
Yay I am so happy that you like the linen color. It is very elegant in person :)

Nope. She created more problems for me. Torn between linen and tweed lol 😅
me too. Now im just praying to have this color in B6 full year

Love the 2025 lineup. Also love the daily planner, will be ordering that one for sure. So many options, thank you Catherine.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :) I love the daily planner :)
Amazing Catherine! Love the Linen and the Tweed! So many options, too! Thank you so much for allowing combined shiping!
Thank you so much! Linen and Tweed are both so beautiful and elegant. Thank you!
I am so excited!! That Mulberry is gorgeous!!
Thank you so much! We are very excited about the mulberry :)

yes! the forest has so much character to it! 🥰
Same! I have forest for this year and planning to get it again for next year because I love it so much!
Thank you for adding the yearly tracker. That’s was what I missed the most for the N2😊
Thank you! I am very excited to use it next year!

Holding orders for people to combine them, just another reason why I will always support your business!! You're always so thoughtful to your customers. Thank you for that!
appreciate you saying that so much!! 🥰
Oh I hope you never get rid of the half year option in vertical - it's my perfect planer and I take it EVERYWHERE I go. Thank you for keeping smooth covers and adding the yearly tracker. And as someone with a visual impairment I really appreciate the bolder font. I was hoping to see the B5 in a vertical half year option but alas, it sounds like I'm in the minority on that one. I wish I could come help you pack orders - I feel like that would be such a fun job! Gratefully, Sarah
I'm with you on the wish for a vertical B5 half year! I want the extra space for writing, but especially because of the bigger size the half year would make it so much easier to carry around!
I love the tweed and the mulberry! Oh no, no preorders makes me scared! I'm worried about ninja fingers!
we should have enough inventory this year that it shouldn’t be a problem!
Hi, Catherine! I just want to say a huge THANK YOU @29:19 for deciding to put grids on both sides of the pages in the horizontal planners!! This will be such a game-changer for me! Also, I truly appreciate how clearly you showed all the different sizes and how they compared to each other…that was brilliant. 🥰 Wonderful video, many thanks for all your hard work. 💙
Meline
thanks you so much for saying that and noticing that about the grids!
This video cemented my plan of not going with hobonichi this year! The new colors are so pretty and that yearly overview page is awesome! linen and mulberry
Thank you for your support, we are very excited about the new colors as well!
Yay! Horizontal layouts! That booklet B5 for long term planning is so tempting too! I've never used planners as consistently as I've used the two I bought last year from work and home. Truly a wonderful product - all of your hard work and thoughtfulness really shows!
Thank you for your support!
Catherine, than you for always making our panner dreams come true!! You are truly amazing!
I appreciate your support!
Catherine, you may have converted me to get gilded edges with the tweed. That tweed is GORGEOUS!
I love the tweed color!!!! It’s absolutely gorgeous in person 😍
I’m really happy you added a B6 Slim to your line up this year. It’s so difficult to find anything in that size. This is like a dream come true. Thank you!
glad to hear that you are a fan of the B6 Slim!
Oh wow!!! I had just planned to get another Hobonichi Cousin…I didn’t know much about these, but I absolutely love the daily planner, the layout, the fonts, the clarity and cleanness of everything (not much visual distraction which I need, but enough to organize,) and all the blank pages for “extras” as well as the large open daily pages. I am in love!!!!! Wow!!!! You’ve hit it out of the ballpark and just won a new customer. I’m so excited!!!! Hmmm…Forest or Caramel? I love them both (actually all of the colors are beautiful, nothing that I wouldn’t like.)
thank you so much for all the kind words on the planner design! Thats amazing to hear your going to make the switch over, welcome to the Sterling Ink family 🥰 also those are both great choices for colors!!
@@SterlingInk Thanks so much for the kind welcome! I’m looking forward to the releases!
You are too good at this. I want it all. For the sake of my wallet, you must be stopped 🤣
Haha please don't stop me lol because I am having too much fun creating planners :)
So glad to see horizontal in all sizes (except half years)! Also really appreciate the flat rate shipping over $35USD! It really makes things so much more accessible for myself as an Aussie. So thoughtful of you all to offer it. ❤
A great video, love the look of everything.
thank you so much for saying that 🥰
The 365+ pages of daily pages make this the most useful notebook on the market. This is where the Hobonichi cousin fails. I hate that pressure with the daily page dated and feeling like a failure when I have blank pages. This section makes it much more flexible for journaling and doing daily pages AS you need them and not feel like you have to do one every day. Wonderful innovation! Thank you:)
appreciate you saying that about the planner and the notebook in the back! Its one of my favorite parts of the common planner to use compared to others!
Hmm, interesting comment. For me its the opposite. The dates on the pages is what motivates me to use them and it keeps me accountable to back fill what i have left blank. If they are just blank pages i will not use them and i end up with an empty notebook. Goes to show how differently people’s brains work. 😮
I agree! I love the freedom and flexibility to not waste pages when I don't journal on one day but use two pages on another day
Absolutely gorgeous planners. The print for 2025 is ideal. And I am in love with the B5 as a work planner. Even the packaging is stunning. All around classy!
thank you so much for saying that about the planners and packaging!
@ 💞
I love that you added the yearly tracker! My Jibun Techo has that and it really helps me visualize a year like nothing else. So excited to try a Common Planner this year.
Love the daily planner and the n1 ! That mulberry is so gorgeous 😍
Thank you so much!
I’ve ordered stickers from Sterling Ink before but have only just stumbled upon the Common Planner in someone’s youtube review. OMG this is exactly what I’ve been looking for and CANNOT WAIT for the release! Every year, I keep trying different planners thinking that I’m going to find what I need, but I think this is FINALLY what I need! So excited!
thats amazing to hear you found us through our stickers then stumbled upon the Common Planner! Glad that it sounds like what you have been looking for too!! 🥰🥰
😮 Yes! I can actually use your planners! I bought them this year but couldn’t see the grid or font hardly at all. I ended up having to go elsewhere.
I have purchased the 2023 and 2024 Common Planners for my daughter and myself. I thought that from day one they were absolutely perfect. I didn't think that there was anything that you could do to improve them. Well, imagine my surprise! You've managed to perfect it AGAIN. And the mulberry, tweed, and linen?!?! Girl, take my money!!!
that’s amazing to hear that you and your daughter are using the CP together! and appreciate you saying that about the 2025 edition!
Oh your line up is magically. I hadnt bothered to look at what you offered because the shipping to Australia normally makes me not buy but you have out done yourself with the cost. I also love that you have sizes that are more common for Australians A5 and B5 and undated oh wow
thanks so much for the kind words on the planners!! 🥰
Best customer service for sure!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
oh my, so many great colors this year! I'll need more notebooks and planners just to have a piece in (almost) every color! haha
Catherine you outdid yourself!! you are amazing!!
Haha thank you so much! I love the colors! I love your work Marija! Can't wait to get some to match / compliment the. planner colors!
I really appreciate your candour about the difficulties of adding items as a small shop. I think a lot of people don't know or understand that each new option across a line like this means several new SKUs per planner type and along with that a whole section of inventory space.
Wonderful overview of your products and additions. I hope your shop continues to thrive.
appreciate you for understand the challenges of being a small shop!
Thank you so much for putting together such beautiful new line. They are all just beautiful!!!! It shows that so much time, thought and effort have gone into this release, thanks again to you and your team!!!!!!
appreciate you saying that about the releases!!
The colors! The sizes! My brain! 🤯
I feel you. I am also trying to finalize my own personal line up for next year :)
Is there going to be a list of which colors will be in which sizes? It might help me narrow it down 😅
So excited. I won’t buy my planners from anywhere else. Just need to make decisions now 🤣🤣
Aww thank you so much! I am so flattered!
Excellent. I've also learned how color coding helps me cross reference. Beautiful and well thought out planners. And although a small thing, thanks for numbering the pages. I dream of the 24 hr. format but I realize it's a minority concept in today's world. Thorough video. Grid across the pages makes total sense to me. With macular degeneration I appreciate the slight bolding of the pre-printed icons. Food for thought...Monthly overview NOT grouped together but start of each month. Probably a bindery issue but thought I'd mention it. I do way too much thinking about these things. Comes with being 75 and well down the planner rabbit hole. Very useful tool the making the best of life.
thank you so much for your suggestion!
I would love a 24 hour format as well. I am sure other shift workers would love it as well.
B6 slim, yesss! thank you so much, Catherine
Thank you! There were a lot of request for this size :) it's so cute
I had my 2025 planner on lockdown, and then you showed the Mulberry colorway....what?! Back to more decisions!!😅😂🎉
haha such a tough decision to make
Beond excited as your layout is exactly as I love to plan 😍🥰.And I am a B5 fanatic ❤. Living in South Africa normally means that my dream planner is unaffordable as shipping usually more than doubles the price. Your flat rate means that your perfect planner should still be affordable for me - thank you so much!😊
glad to hear your excited for the B5 size and that’s it’s going to be affordable for you!
Was considering the common planner for 2025 and yup I’m definitely getting my first common planner after this video! Now to decide which colour to get!
thank you so much for your support!
Thank you for the detailed breakdown Catherine!! Can't wait to get a monthly booklet for my shop planner 😊 Need to decide the size now though 👀
Thank you so much!
Wow! I’ve never before ordered from your company, but I will definitely be ordering this year. I am blown away by your product line! So excited to be a new customer!
thank you so much for saying that and welcome to the SI family! 🥰
I think I have finally found someone with the same planning brain/needs as me! So excited by these products!
haha thats amazing to hear that we are on the same page! ❤️
This is literally the only planner I will need. I won’t even need to tip things in or paste pages because you have included it already. I’m very impressed. I can’t wait!
appreciate you saying that about the planner!
This is an amazing release! I don't know how you do it? I'm so grateful though! I will definitely be getting my beloved N1 in the Full Year. You know, at first (back in 2023) I didn't know what to do with the Quarterly section, but now I've come to plan my whole life in quarters and it's so productive and convenient and those pages are my main guide. Can't wait to place my order!
For work, since it stays at my desk, I prefer larger planners. The fact you made the Common Planner available in B5 may have just won me over. I love the front pages as they are (love the yearly tracker you added, too). My only hesitation in not ordering right this minute? Well, I just wish the months/weeks/days (aka notes pages) were bundled. I am getting the monthly booklet + notebook planner for budgeting and spending tracking/savings.
cant go wrong with using the bigger sizes especially if its going to stay at your desk. Also that decision makes sense for your planner system
I love the idea of using the back of the planner in reverse to jot down notes! Sometimes I fixate on making it pretty that I forget it can be fun and messy!!
I struggle with the same thing at times too, but like you said starting in the back has helped me out!
The linen and tweed!!!! this year too I was audibly gasping at the colour reveals and I had to explain the husband it is planner season :D
Maybe your husband might appreciate the Tweed as well, it has a "tailored" look to it hehe
I am so excited about the yearly tracker and the horizontal layout!!! Thank you so much!!! 💚
Also I LOVE that Forest is staying! I have been in love with it every single day all year long! And I’m excited to bring more booklets into my planning system!
The mulberry is gorgeous, and I am already hoping/daydreaming about the academic planner in the tweed! (If that’s an option. If not, that’s ok!)
Im excited for the new layouts too! and the both the Forest of Mulberry are great choices for colors!!
My adhd makes it easy to get lost in planners with too light of font. I’ve wanted one of your planners for a while, but couldn’t do with the font. This year’s launch makes me so so happy! Thank you for changing it. Now I can watch your videos with my own Sterling Ink . 😊😊😊
appreciate you saying that about the darker fonts and lines this year🥰
You’ve done it!!!!! You have made exactly what I’ve been looking for in a planner. My issue with the first version(excluding light grid) was the absence of a monthly overview page and notes pages. Daily planning is my system. Weekly is plus or minus. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that :)
Oh decisions, decisions!! Tweed or mulberry!! You guys knocked it out of the park! So excited for this launch!
such a tough decision and appreciate you saying that!
Oh this is perfect ❤🎉 I’m a daily journaler and i always want that all-in-one setup because you don’t really want your thoughts where you plan but two books is too much, etc. I’m so excited for the blank pages!
it’s always nice having an all in one 🙌
I am absolutely in LOVE with the beautiful fairy pink and that rich mulberry color!! I agree with the others that you hit it out of the park with these colors and planners they are gorgeous!! I just hope you have enough stock for all of us pink and purple lovers and praying that both colors are available in A5 size 🙏 💗💜
I also wanted to say Thank you for taking the time to explain and also go over every detail about the planners, the sizes, layouts etc. It was so helpful and I look forward to further videos about the A5 sized items!! I missed out on the pink planner, and bought one of the July planners so i could enjoy it sooner instead of waiting until 2025 and Im loving it and so glad I made the decision yo switch. I also love my subscription as well.
You work so hard, you listen to feedback and you care what your customers want and that means so much. I am excited to finish the year with Sterling Ink and begin my year of 2025 with Sterling Ink ❤Thank you so much!!! ❤
I love the Mulberry and fairy floss colors too! really appreciate all of your kind words on the planners and for your support!! 🥰❤️
The pink 💕 for personal planner and mulberry for work planner…perfection 💕💕💕
that sounds like a great color combination!
A few months back I had asked about a B5 size planner, and you delivered. Many many many thanks for including this size. 🥰😍♥
appreciate you saying that and for sticking around!
Omg love the new colors! I'm definitely choosing between the textile color ones! ^.^
thanks so much and thats a great pick!
Monthly booklet+blank notebook is such a good idea!❤
Thank you! I thought that would be more flexible :)
This is what I use for work now. Super flexible.
Yes it’s what I use now in my passport. I looove it :)
Love these planners. I used a planner as a journal and a calendar book for work schedule 😊. Love the way the pen feels on the paper as well 🎉
Thank you so much!
@@SterlingInk you are welcome!
You KNOW I’m now hoping for notebooks in all the new colors 😊
Haha same here same here :)
It’s ALL amazing! I love the daily planner and all of the new colors! You’ve done an amazing job in supplying products for so many diverse needs and desires. 🥰👏🏻👏🏻
thank you so much for saying that🥰
When you make the videos for each of the planners, can you please be sure to include the column width for each of the vertical layouts for those of use that use sticker kits?
Thank you so much for the suggestion. We will do that.
thankyou..this is best planner.Love the simplicity and small details.moved over from hobonichi A5 to sterling ink A5 .
appreciate you saying that so much and for making the switch over!!
So happy to see a B6 slim option cause that's my ideal format (big enough to write a lot but small enough to carry everywhere). Also yes to a horizontal option for every format (I hate time blocking :D ) Eying the daily planner as a journal option now
the B6 slim seems to be a favorite! and happy to hear you want the horizontal option!
Great video, Catherine. Thank you for being so considerate of your customers. I’ll be ordering probably from several release dates and all during a vacation. I greatly appreciate the “hold” option and great shipping rates to Europe!
thank you so much for the support and for noticing that option!
I was so thrilled about the detailed video showcasing i just wtached for the upcoming features of the 2025 collection.
Your thorough explanations of the available options and limitations are appreciated.
The new sizes and colors, particularly the mulberry and tweed, have piqued my interest.
Choosing the right size and combination for these shades is a delightful challenge.
I have decided on the B6 slim and pocket size, and may consider another depending on the availability of the mulberry color.
This upcoming year, I am determined to prioritize self-love and indulging in these planners is a fitting way to embrace that resolution.
those sound like amazing picks for planners in 2025. Also prioritizing self love is a great goal 🙌🥰
Im sooo excited for 2025!! I decided im going to switch to a Sterling Ink common planner from a Happy Planner for work because i just really loved and enjoyed my B6 and Passport from you!
happy to hear that you are making the switch over!
I’m so excited and seriously cannot wait! You are amazing! For next year, my one request would be a monthly weekly daily notebook, and available in B5. This year, I think I’m going to get the B5 common planner and I’m so excited!! Will never get a different planner ❤
Yes this! This would mean I wouldn't need two books.
Thank you for considering our new lineup! We cant wait for its release too
I’m speechless 😮. So thankful for just an only slightly darker line visualization. At least I know the color I want 🖤🖤. It’s the multiple sizes and layouts that decision fatigue will kick in 😅.
Thank you so much, it will also be a difficult decision on our end deciding which color to use!
Im so excited! The horizontal is exactly what I’m looking for! 🎉❤ You guys have done so well to provide something that will no doubt suit everyone while also offering the best customer service! Truly amazing! I really hope I manage to snag what I’ve got my eye on 🤞🏻
thank you so much for all the kind works on the planners and service 🥰
I used to need 1-3 daily pages per day. Since leaving my 8-5 job, I’ve felt so weird not doing as much as I used to. Seeing this video has awoken a new me. I think weekly’s is what I’ve been needing to get into a new rhythm. When I don’t write things down, I feel like I haven’t done anything. I’m looking forward to your launch. I want to get the passport, pocket, or slim.
that’s great to hear you are making the switchup!
I'm super excited about the release and I love the planners that you have created. This is will be my first time ordering. The B6 horizontal weeks is exactly what I need for my language studies. I have been looking for something like this for the past year, and it's just perfect!
Yay! Thank you!
No preorder has me feeling nervous....finally have the perfect planner this year (horizontal n2) and have to cross my fingers that it won't sell out in 30 seconds. Please tell us you will have plenty on hand! I know you are small...it is an insane line up you have...so many pretty options! But after 30+ years as a planner girl, yours are my hands down favs ever!❤
We have a good reference from previous years in terms of quantities. Many lessons learnt so this has certainly helped! Thanks for considering us! ☺
WOW, WOW, WOW! I LOVE everything! All the new colors are fabulous! Thank you, Catherine!! ❤️
appreciate you saying that!
Wow!! This is amazing, Catherine. And love the new colors and sizes. So many options!
🥰🥰
The Mulberry color is gorgeous! ❤😊
I think so too, thank you!
Daily planners poppin off this year. Sooo excited to try y'all's daily as well as just scribbles new a6! Will probably end up still getting a hobonichi too just in case 😅
I posted too soon. OMG, THOSE NEW COLORS! Your shipping times are excellent. I ordered a B6 Academic, and I had it within a few days.
I have been looking for a Planner/Journal where there is a month calendar, followed by a daily section and I am not able to find ANY company that makes it. For example, there would be a January month calendar spread across 2 pages, followed by 2 monthly trackers/habits pages for January, followed by daily pages for January, (the daily pages would run across 2 pages with 4 boxes on each page), followed by 2 notes pages for January review or pictures or whatever. Every month would be laid out in this same format and can be dated or non-dated.
Sorry we don't have exactly that but if you want we do have undated planners that you can setup however you'd like
So excited for this years release! B6S horizontal is calling to me. I love my hobo weeks but run out of space some weeks.
We are excited as well for its release!
Thank you, Catherine, for working so hard each year to improve your planners 👏😃 I started using the Common Planner this year, and it’s great 👍 I love how it’s very functional and minimal, so I can change the layout without a problem for those weeks that need it. And now I’m excited for the B5, which is a size I have never used, but seems like the answer to my never ending page tipping because I always tend to write a lot 😅
The decision is going to be so hard because these are all beautiful!!! Thank you for always giving so much attention to detail. So excited!!
thank you so much! and decisions decisions haha
So excited!
A B5 for my desk and a B6 for on-the-go. A perfect combo!
that sounds like an amazing combo ❤️
😊😊 Very informative 👏🏽 I love all the originals and additions, and hope they are here to stay🤞🏽 Interweaving all available options throughout the product line - FANTÁSTICO 🙌🏽😍
thank you so much!!
Wow! I am impressed with all the options! Way to go! I plan to make my switch this year from the Hobo. Last year I was going to, but missed the preorder (so I am thrilled there isnt a preorder this year! ) and ended up ordering from Hobonichi instead. This year…. Sterling ink all the way! Thanks Katherine ❤️
thank you so much for the support and for making the switch over!
The amount of options you offer is insane!!! I am excited to try out the common planner for the first time in 2025 🤗
Thank you, I hope you'll enjoy the selection. We cant wait for the release too!
Thank you for this! I am new to your company, and this was so helpful! I am excited to receive my first order...AND thank you for including Alaska shipping with US shipping. :-P Many companies don't do that. Thank you! Thank you! :D I will definitely be placing more orders.
so happy to hear that you are excited to get your first order, hopefully you received it already! and thanks so much for the support!
I WILL get my hands on the horizontal layout! That's my dream layout for work. And that Mulberry color? LOVE!
can’t go wrong with using the horizontal layout for work!
So excited about the yearly tracker!!
Love the new sizes and upgrades! I wish with the new colors you chose some more blues and greens ….
We already have blue and green which will be available for 2025 planners as well
Omg Catherine!!! ❤🎉 THE COLORS!!! HONEEEY!! That mulberry is all me!! Hhmmm...but I love the pink, linen, tweed too 😂 I'm gonna have to make some decisions! Haha ❤Awesome job on this lineup! Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for all your hard work! It really shows that you care!
Thank you I really appreciate appreciate the support!
I'm excited about mulberry and the a6 books :) Also, I appreciate the labeling on the video. Very sleek!
Thank you so much! Just trying to make it easier for everyone :)
Wow Catherine you are amazing! You have created perfect planners!
thank you so much for saying that 🥰
