    My journaling style is similar to yours. It's rare that I need an entire page, to reflect on my day. I usually write a paragraph or two about my day and sometimes I skip days. I'm planning on getting an A5 Hobonichi Day-free, which I'll cut down to a b6 (because I don't want to buy an A5 cover since I don't own any). I'll use the monthly section for daily gratitude and the daily grid undated grid pages for "daily" journaling.

    • @TheMinimalSophisticate
      @TheMinimalSophisticate 5 дней назад

      Thanks so much for watching and sharing. I do not need an entire page to journal. I literally write about a paragraph or two when it comes to journaling. I think a B6 is a perfect size or B6 Slim. So I am hoping that it will be a great size for me to write. I love that you use the monthly section for a daily gratitude! That is an awesome idea.

    Oh yes! I wasn't quite as graphic as you were, but I really laid out all my needs on paper and all the reasons that the 3 hobonichi weeks (for example) did not work at all this year. My main issue for 2025 is to not buy a whole bunch of planners like this year and to stick to one or 2 planners at most. I'm going with the hobonichi a6 for planning, (because I really need more space than the Weeks) and the Cousin for daily recap and work. Most of work (projects, meetings) will be in a separate notebook though.

      Hello and thanks for watching Cherylly. I like the idea of writing all the reasons the your current system did not work for you this year. I am in the same boat you are in. I did not want to buy a whole bunch of planners for 2025 as well. I want to keep it minimal but I also want to make sure I am using what I have functionally and with a purpose. A6 is a great size and the Cousin is great for a daily recap and work. Thanks so much for sharing.

    I tried to have a Hobonichi A6 as a planner and a blank A5 “dear diary” type journal and even with that I found redundancies 🙈 so now everything happens in my A6 Hobonichi😍 I might get another one for 2025 but am actually leaning more towards the common planner because it would be nice to have weeklies in an A6 size😍 But I could see how it could work the other way around where someone feels cramped in just one book! And how it can be nice to have separate planners for each category of their life!😊

    I have read It Ends with us and the sequel It Begins with us... I liked them. Better than some of her books. I'll see the movie eventually. Hope you enjoy both. Catherine completely knocked it out of the park. I thought I knew what I was doing next year... lol. I'm drawn to the adorable pocket daily by Paper Tess, but if I'm being honest... it's too small for me. I adore b6 slim so I think that's the route I'm going too... and most likely the daily as well! I'm not a vertical girlie either, but man do I stress myself out and try 🙈😂🥰 my cousin looks like yours. I basically just use the months and days.

    I saw reviews saying the A5 foundation was heavy and bulky to them. Do you feel the personal size is heavy to carry around with inserts of course? but because leather is usually heavier than vegan ones. I am hesitating between this personal in black or the one from MyRoadMap

  • @theinkandpapershop
    @theinkandpapershop Месяц назад

    I am a planner shop on Etsy and I’m about to start educating people on this RUclips channel about how paper is by far the most important part of making your own planners via digital planner insert downloads. I’ve been printing my own planners stuff for the past two years My perfect perfect cost-effective but still good quality paperweight is 24 pounds . Of course you don’t want copy paper which is 18 pounds to 20 pounds… Even when I have purchased 22 pound paper it’s still felt too thin therefore, printing on both sides felt like the paper was a tiny bit transparent I typically will still buy 28 pound paper but I will use 28 pound paper to print inserts that I need to last for a very, very long time such as a perpetual Callender that I have to keep for the entire year Anytime I have to print my child’s school calendar. I printed 28 pound paper so it’ll last me all 12 months. But things like a daily insert that I rewrite every day and throw away the old one … I use 24 pound paper

I'm on the academic calendar, so new year starts July 1 for me. I spent the past few months experimenting with different sizes, but I think the A6 split book common planner is what I'm going with. I love having everything in one book for work. The LD Portriat Planner was tempting, but a bit too big for commuting. Love your book stack, so many good options- spooky season is all year around here lol

I am trying to see how this Laurel Denise will work but if it doesn't it doesn't. I'm glad that the Hobonichi still has remained constant for me and it was the one I said I wouldn't get in the beginning of the year, lol. It's great to have new planners that can inspire us.

N I’m so curious, if u get a minute to enlighten me or want to, lol I found myself caregiving for my mother after her C-19 episode, she went from active to bedridden to semi moving around since 2021. Living with me now, diabetic, blood clots, now new kidney issues, etc. I found that being digital while on phone with drs / providers along with going into office visits isn’t ideal to pull out phone n give or note info especially if drs think ur texting or not paying attention, kinda rude. Anyway my question is. Do you have a separate set up for the things you keep track of for your parents?

    I wanted to take a quick second to tell you. That I have been so overwhelmed trying to find the best fit for me n my situation. I have DIY’d everything from a 11 disc bound to a micro, tn, rings, disc, composition books, school binders, etc. I found myself thrown into a situation that I was forced to go from being a digital nerd to having paper in hand for care taking of my mom almost overnight. So I sooooo understand the “testing waters” of other options. I think I will forever hop out of boredom lol. I think it’s a situation of… “seasons” I believe in our lives sometimes season change. Doesn’t mean our season “won’t change” just means “it hasn’t changed yet” so no guilt of trying other things when we get bored, u may find one day ur season changes. In the meantime, side note… haven’t tried bound books yet n must say u have sparked my interest to try lol thank you for sharing, so glad I found ur channel. (New sub)

      I love that I have you interested in book bound planners. I think it’s a great system for me plus I can review the notes in my Hobonichi Weeks planner.

    Yeah I don't use fugitive inks in my hobonichi because I find they're not archival I had a purple ballpoint that I loved but always faded and turned pinkish. I only really use black or blue uni ballpoint and mildliner highlighter. I use it for practical every day things so I don't use my gels in it.

    • @TheMinimalSophisticate

      I completely agree about only using ball point pens because gel pens are a "no" in this planner. I am only going to use my Uni Jet Streams and Mildliners from now on. There is no point in archiving them if the ink changes colors or begins to change.

    So glad you found your sweet spot. I’m using the PTD weeks and enjoy decorating with SI stickers, but you gave some ideas for my cover; I’m working on using one book and optimizing all the layouts. Have multiple books has become overwhelming for me as well.

      I completely hear you. Having multiple books can be very overwhelming not to mention overstimulating besides getting stressed about not filling in the dates. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this.

    You can switch the inks to use the cutest pen: pull the ink cartridge out and push in, any size nib works in all Jetstream bodies

      You are absolutely right I can use the cutest pens by switching the inks but I actually like the look of the Uni Jetstream 3 pens however I will always have cute pens on standby should I get bored.

      @@TheMinimalSophisticate I meant if you prefer the darker jetstream ink, switch into the Jetstream body you prefer. My English wasn't working yesterday 🙃 I use a slim Jetstream with 0.38 and 0.5 black and 0.38 blue. That pink pen body is so perfect with your setup!
