SterlingInk's Common Planner video walkthrough: • We Designed A Planner!...
Katherine definitely blew up the book bound planner, journal world. I had my lineup ready to go with Hobonichi, and now I'm not sure. I know for sure I want a Cousin. I consistently use it for my devotional and scripture study. Definitely take it slow. Remember, it's just planning. Don't stress. Stay blessed.
I feel you on that sentiment. I’ve landed on the 5-year Hobonichi for my bible study. But I do need a smaller planner for church work that is not in my regular Cousin. Muddling the two gets things lost rather often. Maybe the A6 Day free version?…..
How do you break up your bible study within your Cousin? I have a cousin for my catch-all and Faith. But i am still figuring out the different sections
@@SapphirasMama Hello. I use the monthly section for big life events that need deep prayer, reflection. Something like medical issues for myself or loved ones. The weekly section is for the daily scripture. The devotional I use gives the scripture of the day, and then each devotional contains offer reference scriptures. The Dailies are where I write down any notes, anything that stood out in the devotional. I hope that helps.
I will admit that I thought I had my 2023 planners all set up... then it just got blown out of the water with Katherine's announcements. I was going to pass, but saw the flip through, and was sold. Now to see how I will use the planners I ordered. :P
I have spent so much time feeling wrecked over what to buy. But I remembered, they're books. I am not a planner hopper and like to use just one book (One Book to Rule them All) and am going back into a Cousin next year. It fits everything in my life (I work full time in a school, I am going back to school myself, tracking health and wellness, my daily to-do's, journaling and memory keeping. It really is my happy place. I tried the Weeks and felt squeezed out so A5 Cousin (hopefully the English one!!) it is for me!
The Cousin is SUCH a good option for an all in one planner. I so admire the one book to rule them all!!! I definitely have some ideas for trying a one book month when I get my Sterling Ink planner, just to see how it feels. Though I do love to planner hop
I'm so excited for the Sterling Ink planner! It really solves all of my issues with the Cousin. I'm currently in A5 rings and love it because it helps me stay organized when I'm feeling a bit scattered.
I love that rings is working for you! And yes, I completely agree about the Sterling Ink planner vs. the Cousin!
You have thrown me into planner chaos with the Sterling ink revelation!!! No worries. I think I'm going to get one to add to the list because I have just started a strict budgeting planner. Quarterly plans may help with debt reduction. It's great to see you back!!!! Don't stress too much. We are human and not expected to be perfect. LOL no matter how much we put on ourselves.
This is so nice of you to say Andrea!!! Thank you for commenting and watching. What is Plannertube for but throwing each other into chaos lol 😂 I'm also excited to quarterly plan as a way to help my goals seem more manageable. I hope you like Sterling Ink's planner, the preorder is on for 10 more days so you have a little time to decide!
My friend actually ordered it for me for my birthday!! I’m still going to order the Cousin and possibly a weeks. I’m switching to the A6 for my health and wellness journal though because I felt I need more space for journaling mental and physical stuff. I’m just not sure if I’m going with the day free or the original yet. *sigh* Total chaos…
@@andreasilver24601 I'm doing health and wellness in the A6 to! Sort of, anyway :D Seems like a good size for it.
@@RachelleinTheory I’m hoping so. The weeks did not offer enough space for stuff I want to write that I don’t want to put in my cousin. I’m thinking the day free only because I don’t have brain dumplings every single day, but on the days I do it comes out in droves. Lol
Planner chaos is exactly it!! I love the Cousin , it’s one of the few bound books I can keep up with. I love the weeks too for the portability and functionality. Sterling Ink definitely has me considering, bc it does seem like the best of both worlds in one book. I wonder if the binding can stand up to the stickers and stuff like the Hobos? Not to mention the new Aura Estelle. I feel like I’m changing my mind every 5 minutes! The key is to stick with what works and avoid the shiny things, unless u just want to play with them for fun lol
Oh yeah and avoiding the shiny things is so hard!! Haha. You are the second person to mention the new Aura Estelle to me and I just.... may have to take a peek.... even though I have theoretically already bought all my planners for next year... 👀
I was excited for the new AuraEstelle 2023 dated planners till I saw the monthly is a Sunday start and the weeklies are a Monday start. I’m a Monday start girl but beyond that I need my month and week to match because when it doesn’t I get all messed up. Can’t deal with them not matching and don’t want to go thru and redate the entire thing and bulk it up more with stickers.
But I did order the Sterling Ink - knew from the moment she shared it it was my EDC next year - B6 is my happy place and it’s as close to my dream planner as exists currently. So very excited about that.
(okay just binged all your videos -- i love) I am going to live vicariously through you and sterling ink's new planner!! its so tempting to me and part of me wants to try it so bad, but I'm content in A5 and I know I'll fall down a rabbit hole of B6 covers which my wallet doesnt need right now lol
Ohhhh i know the B6 cover life is coming for me 😵 Thank you for watching, I love your videos too!
Planner chaos yep! The day after I pre ordered the take a note planner I saw the announcement from Catherine! It is planner perfection and I will have one. I love my weeks. I put anything and everything in there. So I'll be in at least 3 next year.
I originally wanted to use a Jibun Techo Biz mini as my work planner for 2023 and pair it with a Nanami Café Note in B6 Slim for any notes I need to take. The Sterling Ink planner is like a perfect combination of the two, without things like Japanese holidays that don‘t apply to me. That’s why I’m suuuper excited about the Sterling Ink planner and will definitely go for it for next year. The Cousin is too big for me. I’m going to use a Weeks for my private planning and an A6 Hobonichi as my journal. I think I’ve figured it out now, but I definitely went on a few tangents in the process: Inamio? Hemlock & Oak? NOTHING planner? - All amazing options, but ultimately, I’d love to have a planner next year that is smaller than A5. Not needing to pair it with an additional notebook is an added bonus.
I seriously considered Hemlock & Oak too. But I completely agree with you about SterlingInk's planner in size. And she did a great job removing the color and holiday issue that the Cousin has. Update me with what you end up using!!
I loved watching this. Im actually in the A6 wonderland222 undated right now and I absolutely love it. New to me in 2023!
A6 is a really sweet size! I got me an A6 planner as well for 2023 and am vibing on it.
I’m also in the middle of planner chaos. I’m in school for the rest of the year and just gained a new client at work. I use a cousin and even though I only use half my daily pages for personal planning, I need the space for work…and I hate “wasting” them that way. My unicorn right now would be an a5 with a monthly, weeks style weekly and undated daily plus vertical weeks for personal/memory planning. My plan is an a5 Avec for personal planning with a Jibun techo Days for work. I dislike multiple planners but I won’t be able to find my unicorn in a single book. The Jibun Days has an interesting layout with the hourly marker in the middle of the page. With both splitting the year into 2 books, I can keep both in the same cover. That’s the current plan.
WOW I so understand your situation. I also hate "wasting" my planners for work, especially if I'm also doing memory keeping in the same planner and I have to have beautiful memories right next to to-do's like "inbox zero" 🙃 I would suggest that you try bullet journaling, and make your own spreads, but I know as a student it is SO hard to find the time, even if the spreads you're making are dirt simple. If you have to have a multiplanner system though, i'm happy for you that they can at least fit in the one cover, which is the dream!
I 100% would go with sterling ink if it was A5. I have a expensive A5 hobonichi cover i want to use more then once and don't thank the B6 would look right. And i love the wonderland 222 but again it bw to lose because i don't want to have 2 separate books
I like the timeline in the taller Jibun Techo and hope she offers A6 in her next iteration, so I have the PERFECT book. I went back and forth and missed the preorder.
Oh my gosh planner chaos is exactly how I'm feeling too!! I'm experimenting with a weeks since I'm also finding my cousin a bit overwhelming at the moment ahahah. Because I also have a spring cousin I'm waiting to see if I prefer the smaller size of the weeks but I am sorely tempted by Sterling Ink's planner... Thanks as always for sharing!!!!
It sounds like we are experiencing the exact same thing right now 😂 thanks for watching!
I caved and preordered the sterling ink b6…..it’s like a b6 cousin
@@Jaime_plans Right! I'm pumped
If you’re just wanting a weeks for if you’re feeling overwhelmed, Kinbor has a dupe for the weeks and you can get it either dated or undated. Just in case you haven’t had a change to check that out!
Yes! I have seen the Kinbor dupes and have my eye on them.... 👀
Yes 🙌🏻 I love the Kinbor planners. I shared them on my channel - they rock
I too was thrown for a loop once the sterling ink planner was announced! I loved this video 💕
So glad we could commiserate over that 😄 Are you going to get it, do you think?
@@RachelleinTheory 🙄I probably will. I really want a vertical layout along side the hobo weeks and it seems like it’d work perfectly.
@@smittenagenda7129 I so agree. I'm going to try to finagle mine to fit into one cover... if I can !
Enjoyed your video. I purchased the Sterling Ink B6 planner for my everyday planner , half year/2 books. I will use a Hobonichi Weeks for a health tracker; continue on for my third year in my Hobonichi A5 five year, and memory keep in whatever size I fancy at the moment! I feel really good about this line up!
I'm so glad you have found something you feel good about! Thank you for watching :)
I definitely like the tarot idea. I would love to see videos on that.
That's great! I will definitely incorporate :)
Thank you for this! I've not been paying much attention to new planners around for the past few years but it is something I am curious about now. I'm off to go down a wonderland 222/sterling ink rabbit hole for a while! I find the Cousin overwhelming but exciting at the same time. Never got full use out of it but still keep trying haha! I'm not planning on getting a large format planner for 2023 but happy to have a little look anyway. Always enjoy your videos, thank you!
Thank you so much for watching Emily! I'm happy that this got you thinking about other planners. I was so worried people would be upset that I was moving away from the Cousin lol 😅 But if it's not working for you, you gotta move on right?
@@RachelleinTheory of course! Personally I would love to see you using the Sterling Ink planner. I went over to check it out and it looks amazing!!! I won't be getting it for 2023 but maybe for 2024. I feel like I could use it for self-employed work but that's gone on the back-burner for 2023, hoping to get back started for 2024 so I can indulge in a planner for it then. It is basically perfect for self-employed or students I think with all those goals and trackers and pages and pages to write notes in 😍😍😁
@@RachelleinTheory You definitely don't need to get ANY planner just to please your audience btw!!! I will still watc even if you don't get the Sterling Ink one. Just thought I'd point that out haha 😄
@@EmilyKariya Thank you for the reminder, so sweet of you to say! And happy to have you watching :)
I like Sterling Ink's planner, except the gilded edges. Hopefully she'll decide against it in the end.
As for Hobonichi, I don't want to order a bunch of things from them on 01/09 simply because of FOMO, but it's so hard to decide!
And I'm seriously considering the Take A Note planner in A6. Just not sure if it'll be too small... Lol the dilemma is real!
I have never used Take a Note! It looks lovely though. A6 I have found to be too small for me to do real planning in it, although I've only given my little hobo a shot once or twice lol. I think Sterling Ink did decide on the gilded edges! They don't bother me, but I totally understand why they would be a turn off!
@@RachelleinTheoryre Sterling Ink's planner - oh no... but I guess my bank account will be happy lol
It's so hard to find the perfect EDC planner, sigh....
@@cchy8742 Truly.. especially when you planner hop every three months like I always end up doing 😅
She kept the gilded edges. Not excited about that. But I’ll deal.
I LOVE my TAN planner. I use the A5 but both sizes for 2023 even though I don’t use A6 size for a planner or journal. Going to find another purpose for it.
@@JustScribble loved your videos on the TAN planner 😄
Can't relate because I don't have so much money to waste on huge amount of paper products 🤣
Your cons list was sooooo similar to mine. The dated daily pages always stressed me out so I’m looking forward to the sterling ink planner.
I also felt the Hobonichi Cousin was too much for me. I don't do dailies after trying in 2020. I tried two planners in 2021 and figured out I'm a 1 planner max, no dailies kind of girl. I'm going with the Wonderland 222 as a single planner for 2023 in A5. I saw the Sterling Ink planner late in the game, and will be monitoring it for potential in 2024, although I think it may have too many back pages for me and I do like A5 for weekly spreads. I like to use the blank pages for permanent lists, recipes etc., that I want to retain so having a separate pages notebook works better for me than 365 pages in the back of a planner.
Wonderland 222 is such a great option! I wish you luck in your planning endeavors:)
I too was in planner chaos and I love The idea of the sterling ink planner but I think I’ll be returning to my roots and doing a bujo again.
A bujo sounds so peaceful in the chaos
@@RachelleinTheory I’m really hoping that it will be. Otherwise I may go back to my hobo weeks.
I had the exact same reaction to the Sterling Ink announcement. It's everything I want!
Right! Seems like she was so attentive in creating it.
I have cut down my a5 stalogy and it fits in my Moterm! The perfect amount of space!
The trend of cutting down planners is so cool! I'm glad you found something that works for you :)
new to your channel! i'm totally in the same boat hahaha. i loved the cousin but its def too big some days and ive been using the weeks this year but it sometimes feels too unsubstantial for me. that sterling ink planner threw a (wonderfully welcome) wrench into my plans for my 2023 system and in the end ive decided to skip hobonichi all together since her common planner answers all the needs ive been looking for as well!! and aahhh yes pls to the tarot content! i just found you through your last video with how to use tarot in conjunction with planning and journaling and loved itttttt ❤
Thank you so much for your comment and welcome to the channel! Skipping Hobonichi altogether...! It must feel liberating after dealing with the cons of the weeks and the cousin. Excited to hear how it goes for you with Sterling Ink's planner, and tarot vids are on the way :)
Great video! I tried so many different planners and notebooks this year (way too many :/) , I now know I am going to use the Kinbor a6 and I hope to snag a nice Hobinichi cover for it☺️ Preferably the Brownie Plaid one
The plaid covers are so cute! Is the Kinbor a6 a Hobonichi dupe?
@@RachelleinTheory yes it's a dupe! They have a5, a6 and Weeks as a dupe. I prefer it because it doesn't have any quotes at the bottom and it's not Tomoe River Paper (which just really isn't my type of paper xD)
@@OktoberJournal Oooh I'll have to check it out!
It is overwhelming. I just couldn’t figure out what to do what it. I’m goin to use the A6 next year. The weeks also gave me a hard time too.
What did you find hard about the weeks? For me, sometimes the smallness is a little limiting, but I also found that with my A6 when I gave that a shot! There are so many options !
@@RachelleinTheory I use B6 rings and pocket for my EDC so with the weeks I couldn’t figure out how to incorporate the weeks to work for me. I now use the cousin as a journal and go back and forth between the weeks and my pocket rings for every day. I want to finish my weeks though before the end of yr.
Your cat is stunning 🥰 I love torties
Thank you! Her name is Coffee. :)
I just found out about the Sterling Ink Common Planner, and I already ordered one! It sounds like you might like the A6 Hobonichi Day Free. Have you checked it out? It’s basically monthly pages followed by undated graph paper.
Thank you for this suggestion! I find my A6 planners have to have very specific uses because they're just a bit small for me, but I'm trying the original techo as a daily journal this year... we'll see how it goes! I may have to do the day free!
I was content with my planner system until sterling ink and aura Estelle revealed their new planners. I am happy to support these small businesses next year.
So I might try aura Estelle weeks size and sterling ink b6
I havent explored the Aura Estelle in detail yet but I do like their undated daily planner! So many new things to try it can make your head spin lol
Love that they did a half year weeks with daily pages
Glad that youtube suggested your channel.
Yes..the Planner season is upon us..crazy amount of selections.
I am choosing the Bushimen Planner again for 2023..the paper and layout suits me for my tracking/planner style. The Stirling Ink does look great but to get here in Australia..quite costly. I really wanted a demo planner that was teased earlier this year by @MarshmallowStudio here in Perth but being a small business the rollout was for 300 planners upfront. Cross fingers it comes into fruition.
I totally understand about the costs! Planner season in general is a big spending time for me and shipping on top of it all... 🥲 I'm glad you found my channel, happy to have you here!
I had a brain fart when it came to nxt yrs planners......wanted a cousin but I'm not going to be studying and working due to unforseen circumstances lol......so bought a weeks mega, just cos it fits in my handmade cover............2,400 yen for the product. 3,600 yen for shipping from Japan to UK....and 500 yen for admin fees........the shipping was more than the product.....but I got it so yay......as a mega it beats my normal and hobo blank notebook cut down by myself that I haven't even used lmao xxx
Its so hard with Hobonichi! I always end up buying so much just to justify shipping. I know some people lump their orders with their friends so that they can all split the shipping because it's insane.
I was fully prepared to switch to a cousin but now that Sterling Ink is releasing a b6 I’m reconsidering. Honestly not sure what I’ll end up using in 2023.
This is EXACTLY how I feel
The stacked weekend was a deal breaker for me on the Wonderland 222. I will check out the Sterling Ink planner. However if it has stacked weekends, why bother…
Sterling Ink's planner does not have stacked weekends! She was very thoughtful in her design.
I’m torn between a cousin, sterling ink and wonderland!! I can’t decide
Get... them... all? 😂
Love your tortiie
Great video
Same!!
I would love to try the Sterling Ink but I can find a B6 cover anywhere.
Moterm has great b6 and b6+ covers! That's what I will probably use. For a jelly/plastic cover, I'm hoping my old ones from my Stalogy will fit!
How does the Hobonichi paper take pencil?
It it alright! Mechanical paper is not my favorite on the hobo paper, because I find it's a bit slippery for the graphite. But it works and doesn't smudge or anything.
I don’t see what the big deal is about the sterlingInk planner I reviewed it and it’s almost the same as hobonichi except the goal pages, undated blank pages, no holidays, and no moon phases. For me it’s a flop. I’ll stick to my wonderland222 until take a note comes out with a b6 size.
For a lot of folks it fixes our issues with the Hobonichi! Size, colors, dated dailies, etc. Personally, I am pretty excited about it, but I can understand being wary of the newcomer! Losing the moon phases is a bummer for me especially.
Why does every milimeter have to be filled?
It doesn't...?
What have you decided? Wonderland or Sterling Ink? Both is not the answer I'm looking for 🙂
Using my wonderland for now, and Sterling Ink in the new year! What would be the answer you are looking for?
Rachelle I was asking about 2023. Thanks for the reply.
