Ahh thank you Bucky that's so kind of you 🥰 and yay I'm glad, I wasn't sure if that was an unnecessary addition to the video!

ugh i still cant get over your covers I love how you decorated them so much 😭🤎 also I've never seen anyone else put in the time of when they write their journal entries! i also feel like it helps ground what I'm writing to see the time when I wrote it not just the date

I think I should do that , put time in my entries. I think thats good idea as mood changes throughout the day ❤❤

I picked up an interesting hint from Katherine of Sterling Ink and I love it. She uses a light color like grey or sienna, etc. and divides the journal page into 2 columns - it was life changing for me! Give it a go. I love the way that Sterling sets up there planners

Oh that's a good idea! I've tried it with regular black ink but didn't like it so much, maybe because the line was too bold? I'll give this idea a go 😊

I would ,over to see the set up process...so inspiring and helpful.

I definitely want to see the setup in a video, I love watching those! I am a bit sad to see the hobonichi go though 😅

Ahh thank you that's good to know 😊 I don't think the Hobonichi is gone for good!! I'm sure I'll be coming back to it at various points in the year 😊

Yes! So excited for you! I have said goodbye to Hobonichi for the most part (have a weeks I got at a conference but I won’t purchase one for next year) I am Sterling Ink all the way! Love the Hobonichi layout but w/ SI I get clean pages no holidays or quotes anywhere. I love the standard size (had cut the Hobonichi Avec down to one b4 SI’s creation) it’s so awesome! Excited to see your setup!!

Thank you so much 🥰 I agree, I think the minimal Sterling Ink pages are so nice, and so easy to make more personal/your own! Your system sounds lovely!

Yes for a setup video! I'm using the A5 Common Planner...

Ohh exciting, hope you're enjoying it! I'm so excited for mine to arrive 🥰

I chose to go with the Kinbor 1 day 1 page instead of the Hobonichi Cousin. I had the same reservations about the weekly pages. I know I could commit to the monthly and dedicate that to either weather tracking, a doodle a day, or a daily gratitude. And I would use the dailies. They also come in an AVEC version so you get 6 months in a book so it doesn’t get super chunky, and it’s been fine with all my fountain pens.

Ooh okay that's interesting - I didn't know that the Kinbor planner didn't have weekly pages! Good to know; I think I'm going to make a list of all these amazing options we have so I can reference it!

Yay for the Common Planner in A5! (I use that one too) I hope it works well for you. I'm loving the freedom the undated pages in the back give me. And yes, I'd love to see another set-up video. Don't feel pressured however, sometimes it can be fun to just do a set-up without filming.

Ohh that’s exciting! Thank you so much, as you can probably tell I’m really excited 🥰 yay thanks that’s good to hear, if they come in time for the weekend I may be meeting my friend who I did the joint order with and we’ll do some set-up together!

For the moment, I have found planner piece in the B6 for Common planner and TN (N1) for work but you know how that goes

I am interested in seeing a set up video of the new planner please. I love everything you do 😊😊❤❤

Thank you so much you're so kind 😭❤️ I will try and do one!

I was just browsing for an A5 as well. I was considering the avec since I would not want to lug around the full book to journal on the go. I was looking at the day free as well. I personally would not use the weeklies. Excited to see your new one. xx

Ohh that’s exciting! The day free sounds like it would be great for you, or the Planner Monkey Co Freely Planned notebook maybe? 😊 thank you so much! And thank you for watching, i love your Instagram/KZread 😊

Oh stop! Appreciate you and likewise!! :)) I hadn't thought of hers but I do love her notebook so much. I will go take a look.

I love hobo but I’ve fully converted to the common planner too - I have a full yr onyx b6 for my main book and a caramel a5 compact for my everyday carry at work. The dated pages, colours, quotes & layouts in the cousin started to annoy me last yr so wanted a change! Feel so much more free and relaxed in the common planner because of its minimal but effective design (I live in Edinburgh uk and shipping / taxes worked out the same as prev orders from Japan)

Ahh that's so interesting! They sound like a great pair 😊 I think that's how I feel too - the Common Planner is so easy to put your own 'stamp' on! And yes I think my Sterling Ink order with taxes etc was probably about the same as Hobonichi which I actually didn't expect!

I was waiting for this video after your Instagram stories :) I think you will love the A5 common planner. Will you set the weeklies up in the same way? I'm trying dividing the page like you have done, just a bit lower down. Will see how it goes.

Ahh yes I’m sooo excited!! I’m definitely planning on setting up the weeklies the same yes 😊 but yes same I may divide the page lower down so I can take advantage of my sticker kits from The Coffee Monsterz Co and use those some weeks 😊

Hey, Brontë, where do you find refills for the Hobonichi pens? I can't seem to find them in the right size and they run out so fast!

@bronteswannick

Hello! I found some on Amazon but they were tricky to find I agree!! The exact code/name for them is ‘Uni Jetstream refill SXR-80-05’ - I got a box of 10 for £15 which seemed pretty good 😊
