Great video! I hate those planners which have everything pre-labeled, and prefer to have some flexibility in what I want to plan and what section I want to have (being a student, my main "plans" are my study plans and workouts only), so this planner looks perfect for my needs :) Unfortunately, I currently have tons of blank notebooks and journals that I want to use before buying new ones, otherwise I would just continue the habit of hoarding notebooks 😂 But do appreciate the concept and your explanations :) 👍
I so wish I would have researched these prior to purchasing the hobo cousins. I really like this SI but I would need an a5, it’s the perfect size for me. I have a personal food journal in a hobo weeks, my cousin for all main planning for me family, then a personal journal. I do like the monthly and daily only❤
I used to use the hobo weeks as a food journal too! Oh no, I kinda want to do that again 😆 And Sterling Ink has A5 size too. Maybe you can give it a try for 2026!
@ I think I will!! I’m going to see how this cousin works out this year:) the food journal at least helps me stay aware of what could be causing so much inflammation and it does kind of motivate me to do better! Do it girl!!
@@DiaMerazI have both the common planner and daily planner. The CP is mainly just for journaling and I knew I needed more than a page a day sometimes. I’m not too sure how I want to use the daily planner yet. I don’t always have something going on everyday so I’m excited to get inspiration to see how you use yours 😊
I also use the weekly to record what I did that day! I like having the week all together though because at the beginning of the week I pencil in (literally!) all of the stuff I already have scheduled and my BF's hours so I get an idea of what kind of availability I have when other things come up
That's how I used to use mine when I was raising my kids 😀 Especially when they were involved in sports. It gave me a quick view of the week, and made it easy to fill in the blanks with stuff I needed to do.
I posted a video last month on my Techo Kaigi and I'm using the same Daily book (but A5), and it seems like we're using it very similarly! Additionally I picked up one of the 64 page grid booklets in case I ever get itchy about needing an Alastair list or some kind of project planning. It can tuck right in the cover, there's no structure so I can pick it up and then quit it as needed without stress, and I don't have to worry about flipping between pages in one book (I'd considered doing half page weeklies in the blank pages at the end of each month, but truly I am not a flipper!) It seems like you've worked out a similar fix with your rings. My Daily also had ripples but all throughout the book and all along each page near the spine, and she ended up giving me a small refund for the damage.
@@DiaMeraz yes! I went back to the Vertical Layout in the SI CP in the B6Slim size. I just felt like that weekly "display" of my week was missing because I had lots of meethings and appointments but if that's not your situation then a daily is probably just what you need :)
I loved watching this! I am going to be using the Sterling Ink daily as well in my leather. ❤️ Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Love the Sterling Ink daily planner. Will you do an updated personal ring flip? TFS! 🤍
Absolutely!!
@ Yay! TYSM! 🤍

It can be hard to break the habit of buying new notebooks 😂 Good job!

Have you thought about getting the sterling ink weekly booklet?
It did cross my mind! But I think I am going to enjoy keeping everything on one page 🤗

I will have to check out your video! And I'm glad to hear she compensated you for the damage. I'm happy mine is hardly noticeable.
Dia meraz great video
Thank you!
What kind of paper clips are those at 8:11 ?
Those are the Midori Chiratto Index Clips. I get them from @JetPens I love them because they are minimal and don't mess up my pages.
I used a daily for 2024 after using the weekly vertical for 2023....i honestly regretted not having the Wo2p layout.
I hope I won't regret it! Good job sticking with it for the year though. Are you using a weekly layout for 2025?
