    I totally understand you. I think a lot of us go through this. We do a few weeks in a spread and we're like this is it and then we get bored or unmotivated. I have always been a one planner ...heck one notebook sort of person ....but this year I have a graveyard of planners. I have been through at least 13 different planners so far lol I went back to basics. I got out my old a6 rings with inserts and what do you know it worked. I realized that I'm a pen and paper only planner but I love stickers and have so much of them that I kept trying to find a way to do both and it just isn't working. Also I like having a work section but I dont need a work planner. So I decided to keep my work/to do with pen and paper only and do memory keeping with pictures and stickers markers etc and so far it's working. It's true what they say at least for me once you find your planning style it's easier to find the planner for you.

    The sound of flipping pages made my brain go brrrrrr. So good.
    Sterling Ink sells standard size notebooks with Sanzen Tomoe River Paper! You can get what you'd like without the extra cost of cutting down, if you'd like. I'm all for cutting down, though, especially if you're pulling from your stash (I need to do that too!)
    Your whole attitude made me feel validated - last year my planning was so locked down, and this year I can't stay in one planner for more than a couple months - it's a frustrating feeling, but now I feel better about it.

Oh my yes, you are NOT alone! There are bunches of us that are struggling and some of us not really even knowing why?!

    I have a Hobonichi Cousin English version and it works great for me. I turned the daily section into a bullet journal style. But next year I am changing. The reason why I am going to the Wonderland222 is because the months and weeks are grouped together. This will help me with my budgeting for each month. I will also turn my dailies as a bullet journal as I tend to track quite a few things and also have collections.

    • @ashleydcarlson
      @ashleydcarlson  Год назад

      That makes absolute sense! I love the fact that Wonderland 222 has the monthly and weeks grouped together as well!

    I am glad I am not the only one who goes back and forth with different ones trying them out. I look at Happy Planners and think I like the ability to add and remove pages, but like you and the spiral the discs get in the way and though you can take pages out and add them back in, that can be a pain. The same thing with the 6 rings in many A5 planners, though I feel like I would like having the cover. I feel like I would like a TN and have made a couple covers and inserts but then wonder if I want to add pages, blah blah blah…. Lol. The classic HP is kind of too big, the mini too small but then maybe an A5 is too small? I don’t know!! I do know I don’t like to have to draw the pages every week like the bullet journal style. I do really like to decorate though! Maybe I will try the horizontal week on one side and blank on the right in a blank notebook and see if I like that. Like you I don’t have a ton to write out and have someplace else I keep what happened each day so don’t need a ton of room.

    • @ashleydcarlson
      @ashleydcarlson  Год назад

      These planner companies are only making it even harder for us! All the options now, and I still feel like I can’t find one that has everything I want and need🙈🙈🙈lol So then I just need to have multiple planners so that I can cater to my crazy needs😂 I get what you mean though! I love to be able to change layouts and decorate how I want in a blank notebook but I’m already annoyed with having to draw out a layout each week… the hunt must continue…😝 But you should try the Hobonichi Weeks layout, even if you make it in a plain notebook, it’s a great layout if you don’t have much going on🙌 Thank you so much for watching and commenting, and reminding me that I’m not alone in this crisis 🤣💕

I preordered a Sterling Ink planner, I love that she made a Hobo Weeks layout in standard size!🤩 B6 is such a great size though, great for every day carry, not as tiny as the Hobo Weeks but not so ginormous as the A5 if I want to throw it in my purse😁

    Regarding the moleskine planner: I’ve used one every year for the past decade and found that staedtler pens work. I bought mine for 2023/24 and my staedtler pens bleed through. I’ve found that Sarasa pens work with this paper, but idk if it’s just that they’re using different paper now, or I used to buy hard cover planners and bought a soft cover this year? No idea, but long story short, I understand what you mean about the paper. ❤

    I'm always curious how the show-though from the previous page with the Tomoe River paper works for people, as the Moleskine paper issue is obvious, but the hobonichi paper looks like it has as much show thru, but no bleed thru. Is is a problem for you?

    • @ashleydcarlson
      @ashleydcarlson  Год назад +1

      I’ll admit, it took some getting used to! I was used to Erin Condren paper, so that was definitely a 180😆 The best way I can explain it is just like you said, there is no bleed through~there is shadowing which just doesn’t show up enough to bother me personally. After you flip a page and start writing on the back, the shadowing and new writing just magically blend together! I forget that there’s even writing on the other side😍

    Girl! So I have been planning in an Erin Condren vertical (mostly) for so long….since 2015. And I’m trying to break up with it but I feel guilty. I keep going back to it and saying but but…I’ve always planned in one. How can I replace it with the Commonplanner…like something about the color and the coil and the size makes me so happy to flip back to it. I do NOT get joy from flipping back in my bound notebooks. They seem more like messy scrap paper even though they do hold memories. And that toothy Mohawk paper and the smell. Idk, I gave into the planner hype and trends. In reality, I still love my EC vertical. Sighhhhh

      Omg, I understand this TOO WELL! I’ve also been using an Erin Condren vertical since around 2016, 2017… I love the vertical(1.5 inch columns), the colors, I LOVE THE PAPER-the smell everything 😍🙌 I still use it to this day! It’s my main squeeze😂 I use it to pre-plan, keep track of Birthdays, House stuff, etc. But the coil is driving me nuts! Also, their themes lately just aren’t bringing me joy like they used to😭 EC is just very nostalgic for me too, so it’s going to be sad but I’m ready to let it go. It sounds like you are not ready to let it go and that’s okay!!! If EC planner lights you up then I would continue to use it! I was in exactly your spot last year, I bought my regular EC vertical and Hobonichi Cousin and tried using the cousin for a month , nope ~hated it! So then I just went right into my good ole EC again🤩🙌 I continued to use the Hobonichi for memory planning and LOVED it! Now when I flip through those pages, my heart is so happy! We don’t have to use any kind of planner if it isn’t bringing us joy, no matter WHAT is trending🙏😁
