Glad to see someone else who uses bullet journals without feeling the need for all the art work. I too admire those who do and how beautiful their journals look. Honestly, I don’t have the time or desire to do it everyday. But thumbs up to those who do.
Thanks for this video. I too use a planner for the purpose of "productivity "instead of a source for coloring and artwork, carrying around a load of different color pens and reinventing calendars over and over etc.
I appreciate the video! I ran into similar problems with my Leuchtturm BuJo: I would burn through it in 2-4 months, it was hard to find my journal entries, I would have to migrate my long-term projects every 2-4 months, and I had a huge future log that would get lost. I'm hoping my TN will help me with a multiple journals approach.
It was long term projects and notes that I found hardest about the Bujo one book system, so I moved into a TN as well and found it much better. Little by little you can create it how it works for you which I love about the tn system. Thanks for sharing your set up. I don't have time to decorate, and I'm not going to keep these books indefinitely so I don't see the point of wasting time decorating. They're kept for reference 2-3 years then recycled. That's why it's good to have the things I do want to keep in a separate booklet which can be stored together.
It's a pleasure to see how organized you are, Michael, and how you have a personal system that works for you. I'm going to be on the lookout for ways that I can be better organized. For me to just keep my appointment book/to-do list in a designated place would be progress!
Thanks for this video! I'm currently considering swapping from a one-book bullet journal system to a TN precisely so I can retain some things more easily and get rid of others. I think a system similar to yours would work well for me, and either way it's helpful to see some different examples of how people do it.
Thanks for this. I'm more of a functional planner too. For about year I've been using the same weekly spread - inspired by Hobo Weeks, and just learned a month ago that there's a similar TN insert, which I plan to move into in July.
I've been bouncing around planning systems (paper and digital) for a while and I have so many things in common with what you said in the beginning: constantly copying, burning through pages, etc. I also really like the weekly + memo format. I was on the fence about leaving my full A5 size LT1917 after years, but seeing your system mirroring a lot of my issues and working so well in the travelers notebook, I think I am going to try this 🥳. Great video! (though I have to say the MD Notebook is what got me looking at this in the first place because I happen to love the MD paper specifically over the Tomoe River Paper that drove me nuts in the Hobonichi lol)
I really like the idea of making your own Traveller’s journal! You’ve inspired me to look it up and see if I could do one for myself, too. I already use the Traveller’s refills, and really enjoy the paper, but haven’t taken the leap to having the full leather bound system. Would you be interested in sharing your tips or process on how you made yours? Thanks very much.
I love my midori however I can’t afford to keep buying inserts. It adds up. I don’t have the ability or things necessary to make my own inserts unfortunately.
How do you handle the dry times with heart of darkness. I use basically the same notebooks and find the dry time excruciatingly long. Thank you for the video, I enjoyed it!
Eric Iverson oh, the dry time is horrible. It’s just such a great looking black though. I use an extra fine nib so its as little ink on the page as possible. I also carry some blotting paper if I am in a rush, or if I dont want ink splotches on the opposite page.

The pen holder to mark the week/daily is simply inspired! I'm so doing it from now on! Thank you!
did you catch the name of that pen holder?

I like your system for bullet journaling in the TN. I’ve been thinking of switching over to the TN and this video is quite helpful.

Wow, I was searching the internet today about bulletjournaling on the traveler’s notebook, and you uploaded this video. Thank you for sharing this.

I enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing. I love the Midori the most. Best Travelers Notebook Maker for me!
What do you do with all your used up inserts? I like my hobonichi weeks because I like the idea of one year one book.
very good, my only gripe with travellers notebook is that it doesn't open flat for writing without the help of clips etc.
Yes. I have found different inserts perform better... but in general, it is definitely a pain
Your system Is very clever and actually useful! Thank You for sharing
I just bought one today and I’m trying to work out where to start! 😆
Nice preface to the video. I agree with you.
Think I'll subscribe if you keep showing more of these videos particularly.

Are you still using this TN? Would love a planner update 🙂
Fabulous! Just what I was looking for for my husband and his TN. Really enjoying your channel!
I thought I was the only guy who was interested in this
love it

great! a fellow musician penman - if you were a vegan that would make three in a row
The ladies can make things so complicated; but I do agree with the simplicity and time savings. Interesting.
