I’ve definitely felt the anxiety ramp up lately as well, I think because the Hobonichi announcements are about to start! I think I’m weirdly more stressed because I’m happy with my current system - I’m stressed about succumbing to FOMO 😅 Love the FF method!

Thanks

Oh girl, you really hit the nail on the head with this one! 😊 you are so right about getting off social media.. it is confusing the heck out of me 😂😂 I am so struggling and have been watching your journey the last couple of months. The last couple of years, I have been digital planning and started this year out that way also but decided I needed to go back to paper and I am loving it BUT I think I have been in every size (except A6 🤷🏼‍♀️) since then. I am in love with the lighter thinner papers such as Tomoe River but am struggling to find the exact right fit. Right this minute, I am in a personal size wallet style TN with a hobo weeks and a journal for my dailies. I love it as an edc because it fits well in my purse and it doubles as my wallet, HOWEVER, like you, my dream is to be in 1 book. I am really wanting to try rings but don’t want to go much larger than the personal tn that I am carrying now and every personal rings I have found seem super huge. Any suggestions?? 😮😮

I’ve used hobo cousin and weeks. I find peace with the weeks but feel I don’t have enough writing space. My brain doesn’t work with the hourly layout of the cousin and dated daily pages… I gasped when you showed the PaperTess designs.. I will be trying the B6 for 2025

Would you try the avec version? Which splits the planner in 2 since you like to add a lot of stuff that gets chunky over time🤔🩷

I loveeee this and it’s making me want to switch over from my a6 avec 😍 could you do a video showing how you create/print/cut inserts (I love your created inserts and the curved edges!) and also how you archive? Would love to see more about your Filofax system 🥰

1 planner hop... makselife flagship back to bullet journal... thinking i might try the makselife printables and paste them in my bujo... i like the makselife goal system alot but bullet Journaling is the only planner system that works for me.

How do you utilize the whole day pages? I am new to this planner mid year because I just was a bit overwhelmed trying to cram everything in a bullet journal

A6 is my goldilocks size, no matter how much I love the real estate of bigger books. Bigger books get put down and never looked at again. Smaller sizes make me feel cramped and anxious. I love grid, 2.5mm ideal, 4mm maximum, and if it’s not a dated preprinted layout then I need numbered pages, because if I do it myself in one go I’ll burn out and hate the book (and probably make a mistake and hate it more)… but if I don’t I’ll never do the rest of the pages. I love the idea of rings/discbound, but I’ve tried a few times and know better- in reality it drives me up the wall after a few weeks, because my planning/journaling isn’t disposable to me, and that’s what I end up doing if I’m not in a bound book. I barely use monthly pages but I still need a monthly calendar as a reference to help my brain with the passage of time. I like the mini overview of the first column of TAN, combined with Alistair tasks/habits on the left page, and 3 columns to use as needed on the right, as a weekly dashboard, and then a second spread for journaling or more detailed daily breakdown, more like traditional bullet journaling. I also need a fair chunk of grid pages at the back for notes, doodling, and collections. Current plan for next year is A6 sterling ink 520pg grid notebook w/ page numbers, testing what I think is my ideal layout in the back pages of my current planner since it’s the same grid spaces and size. So far so good, and once my notebook gets here, I’ll start setting up in pencil (if I change my mind, i can happily use it for something else).

I'm looking for a diary that I can draw in each day as a challenge but the hobonichi pages seem really thin, have you noticed much bleed through? 🥰

Function and aesthetic ❤

LOOOOOOOVE the toolbox analogy so much! ❤ great video!!!

GREAT video. For me I have a B6 AE classic daily. I plan in it and have been since last month. I do daily journal prompts and realized I want to write more some I ordered the AE weeks daily that should be in next week. I’d really love a B6 size with monthly weekly and daily spreads. I’d like to plan and journal in it.

Price point and shipping is another one to factor in. I would like to have daily to do planner and a Daily journal.

Great video, I loved the step by step process for how to think - and especially the acknowledgement that you need to decide ahead of time if you are experimenting this year, or sticking with tried and true methods. Will definitely do this ahead of my 2025 shopping :)

I love this!! It is perfect!

I really like your FF method. Definitely will be using this for 2025.

I love this video! Certainly looking for a process/planner change for 2025. This is a great way to start narrowing down which planner will work for me.

I like the idea of making a list of needs to help organize your thoughts. I think advice I wish I’d had earlier on would be: Really be sure about the size of the planner. Use cut up paper to simulate the layout to see if it works (I would never have purchased a5 slim had I just checked). You can easily rearrange sections of your planner to replicate layouts from other planners- you don’t need a whole new one. Ex- if you like the goal planning section of sterling ink, but you have a cousin- just add them in the back notes pages. You could tip in trackers etc. Sometimes what you need is just a notebook- a full on planner isn’t the answer to all of the things you’re trying to do. I’ve seen people get 4+ dated planners with very specific purposes and then abandon most of them because they skipped too many days. Maybe consider using a good ole notebook to keep several of the specialized subjects (not day to day planning) in one place. Oh and do not buy a fancy leather cover until you’re certain about that planner/size.😂

I hopped from Hobonichi to Sterling Ink, then hopped sizes to find my sweet spot. I think planner hopping this year helped me zoom in on what I need vs want in a planner. For me, I’ve discovered that I love the height of an A5 but not the width, so a standard tn size is perfect for me. I prefer clean, simple pages now so I can make the pages as busy or plain as needed/desired. Last thing I learned (to keep this from being a novel lol) is that I really only need a weekly and undated daily so I can use just one book if I really want to.

The brown leather gives such Fall vibes. ❤

I looove these inserts and this flip! I want to join your patreon to access them, but first may I ask if you offer them in A5 size? Thank you! ❤❤

What pen do you use? I’ve seen it with other planners and I can’t figure out what it is. It’s the one with the pink

Do you sell your weekly insert???

Great video as always!

I’m glad you love her. I am the eBay seller. Your setup is awesome. I wish I could figure out canvas. I have so many planners to destash. But eBay takes like 15% plus tax and wants SS#’s now.

this is super satisfying, watched and enjoyed till the end ☺☺

I’m IN LOVE with your weekly and daily inserts!

In your cash envelopes is the paper index cards or from a pocket notebook? Thanks

We are both Aries and I relate so much! 🥹🤍

LOVE your functional artful aesthetic ✨🖤✨

Great set up! ❤ What software do you use to make your inserts?

Did you make your pages in an app of some kind?

This makes me want a dark brown cover, but I am too addicted to black leather right now!

Thanks for sharing. hahaha at you flipping off

So happy to see you posted ahhhhhhhhh

Looks great! Do you usually carry your planner by itself or in a bag when you're going places out and about?

Your planner is not only functional but so pretty! I love all the deco!!

Great walkthrough, and thank you for the links, but the link to the Kokuyo paper goes to your order history page (and requires a login), rather than to the product page itself. I found some printables I like, but they aren’t available in US Letter, so it looks like I need to order some of that A4. 😊

Oh this is super satisfying - your inserts are amazing, and I love how lived in it feels! ❤

Love this video thanks for sharing. You are like my planner twin our style is so similar! Also I recently discovered sleepynotesclub youtube. Great channel ❤

I thought they were stickers. These are amazing.

Really enjoyed your setup. Thanks for sharing ❤😊

All these great pictures of home 🥺

I love how intentional and thoughtful you are with your planner system! Functional yet aesthetically pleasing. Great video!

Omg! You’re so creative! I’m so in love with your planner and setup! 🤩🤍

Beautiful. I am loving my personal filo so far.

Beautiful book! 😊

How can it be a ‘she’ when you de~ringed ‘it’ ??
