Hey, you!
Thanks for checking out my channel! It's all about paper and stationary and how I use it to organize and catalogue my life!
Planning is a hobby and a creative outlet, as well as a management system and my second brain. On this channel I share my processes and *how* I use paper to do those things.
I'm also very active over on Instagram (@evergreen.inks), and I now have a patreon that has even more process content, and a shop where I am making some of my processes into digital inserts!
Thank you for being here! You mean more to me than you know!

Thank you so much for this video. I am just about to start my rings planner journey (currently using standard tn... and plan to continue using this and have a pocket rings to supplement it) xx
Did you switch out to 25mm or did it come with 25mm?
🎉any updates?
On a budget graph paper is a handy option for inbox and tracking just so easy to make yourself templates rather than having to buy everything. Even just to figure out sections before committing to rings or other purchased templates/inserts like in bullet journal. Love graph. As someone who’s tried nearly everything taking apart books and punching pgs is a great way of reducing wasting the money spent on say; midori etc. I love all the vellum, fall suits you x
Where did you get your clear pocket that you have the pictures in?
Where did you get your clear pocket that you have the pictures in?
Do you use the exact pocket size inserts or you orint them bigger?
I have exactly the dame problem with all the daily inserts!!! When i look at them, i think how much i need to do, and i just don't want to see them again! It's getting better now, but that's how it was for 12 years! I used monthlies and weeklies only!
Wow, you are back to the pocket!
this is such a cool setup! you have such nice handwriting too! :) thank you so much for sharing!
Are the clear sleeves you where keep pictures/ephemera the Moterm brand? I like the fact that they are clear and not frosted.
Omg that midori hibino in rings is perfection 😮 did you film your unbinding and cutting down? I want to try it but I'm afraid haha
Lovely setup
I call that overwhelm.
All the pocket love!! I loved this long video! You kept me company while I cleaned the kitchen, made dinner, and ate❤❤❤ I love a functional planner with stickers here and there.
Thank you on accounts! I'm glad you appreciate long content! And yes!!! A mixture of whatever you need to make planning fun is the best way to plan!
Promo_SM 😔
I just love your planning process. I enjoy these types of planner videos much more than decorating planners (though they’re fun too😊). I get such great ideas. TFS
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thank you for being here 💚
While looking into going back to A6 rings, I ran across this video. I’ve really enjoyed it. Very thorough. I’m a little late but this is so good! TFS
Thank you! I still LOVE this planner and set up, and when I need to be in something bigger again, I'll be right back in it!
Really enjoyed this!! Thanks! So inspiring.
Nice! 💚
Such a lovely setup and of course very functional which is important...lol. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching! 💚 yes! Functional is soooo important, and most important to me, but you'll still have to pry my stickers from my cold, de@d hands, lol
@@evergreeninks 🤣
I wonder, how do you save/archive your pages from month to month, or do you? 😊
@bonfer20 this is going to be one of my next videos! 😊
@@evergreeninks Yay! I'll be excited to watch.❤️
Ooh, the Triangle is my favorite 😍 Love this, I was so bummed to have missed it in Grizzly, been hoping it will come back! ❤
On personal wide- it’s actually fairly easy to find covers and inserts. For those who like B6 books, personal wide is a great option because the paper size is fairly close. But most insert shops have personal wide, and many of the popular cover makers will also make personal wide. 😊 I have had zero issues finding inserts and dividers to fit my personal wide planner system.
Thank you for this addition! I did not know this!
Patina is if the leather gets darker over time. If the color doesn't changed over time it, then it doesn't patina
yes! agreed! I just can't share the patina (or talk about comparison of a patina) on a cover that I had received only the day before! But I will make sure to post an update in the future once the Toscana gets a lot of love!
i’m a bit late watching this video but it’s so nice to hear someone talk abt the overconsumption in this hobby without the condemnation i’ve heard others speak with. you were so well-spoken and put into words a lot of the troubles i’ve seen in the community! and i think we all make mistakes. it’s important we learn. i myself have fallen into the rabbit hole of ring planners the past month and want to make large purchases since i am easily influenced, but i’ve stopped myself and tried to use what i had first to see if it would truly work for me. thank you for such a wonderful video 💛
thank you so much for saying so, it makes my heart full knowing that others understand I'm not trying to condemn, just to find my own boundaries! You've got this! I believe you can forge through and find what you are comfortable with in terms of consumption/purchasing
thanks so much for sharing! also your nails are super cute! 💛
Thank you! (To both things!) 🤭🥰🫶
Do you have a video on your weekly set up? I like that running list
I mention it in my full flip videos (specifically the one from October 2023), but I don't yet have a weekly-specific video! It's in the list of ones I want to make though!
lovely! thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you!
👋🏽💚
So satisfying to see some functional planning in real time ✨🖤✨
Thank you so much! 💚🫶
this was such a helpful video! thank you so much for sharing!
thank you!
Are you familiar with DIYFish inserts? I love her foldouts for the reasons you mentioned.
I know of her inserts and I looked into them when I first moved into pocket! She didn't have exactly what I was looking for though, and I didn't want to demand a custom or anything, haha! If she had an insert that would work for me I would IMMEDIETLY hop on that train! I love her inserts so much!
Thank you for this gorgeous and useful video ❤ Also, we can see your planner well. What are you using to film it? How is it set up?
thank you! I just used my phone (a Samsung flip 4) and a stand from amazon. I will try to add the specific one to my amazon storefront within the next day or so. I also only use daylight. I think this video was right in front of my sliding door-wall and that was it in terms of lighting!
Girl yasssssss!!!! I needed this video!!!!! Love the entire set up!!! New subscriber!!!
I have been following you on IG for YEARS so this tickles me pink to hear! Welcome!
i’m about halfway through and this video is so refreshing. i’m just getting back into the planning community after stepping away for a lot of the reasons mentioned here in the video. i mostly found myself with a planner that was curated based on whatever everyone else was doing with their planners. being influenced instead of inspired. i’m happy to report that i am back and im in personal rings filofax and i love it here lol
Good for you! I'm glad this was helpful, and I hope your planner journey is less influenced by others (?) in the future!
My best size is B6, I need the space to think haha. I hope more shops in the future will do nice covers in that size. I can't find many I like the leather of.
"Need the space to think" - I love that! I'm crossing my fingers, I hope we get more B6 covers for you, too!
I love B6 notebooks, so I use personal wide rings because it’s the closest in paper size :) Personal wide is very readily available as well!
I recently switched to an a6 rings. I absolutely love it and your videos. One of your videos convinced me to try a6 rings. I did want to add to your video Amazon does have some true a6 inserts. The brand is Handy Forms. The selection is very small but I really like the two kinds of lined notes pages. I also just tore up an a6 stalogy to make pages with grid paper. I thought I would share what I recently discovered for the a6 size. I hope this helps. Thank you so much for your amazing videos.
Thank you for sharing the shop from Amazon! That's super cool! And thank you so much for your kind words 💚 I appreciate them - and you - so much
Do you have your pocket setup video?!
I do not. When I was in pocket, I was not "doing KZread." I have recently purchased a new pocket cover, but since I'm not yet sure how I want to use it (I got less than a week ago), I haven't filmed a video for the public! I just posted a flip of what I have currently to my patreon. My patreon generally gets more of my in-the-thick-of-figuring-stuff-out content, and KZread gets the results.
@@evergreeninkswhat??? You're going to move out from the a6 yo the pocket??
@@katsmith8263 I haven't yet decided what I'm doing with it 🤭 but my a6 wouldn't be leaving completely even if I started using pocket
I just setup my A6 ring planner listening to this video from the bound dated planner and another bound store bought A6 planner and A6 printables. In the moterm luxe planner. Yes, not in the A6 ring planner, in the pocket luxe planner. And I love that the cover is not as huge as the A6 cover! Oh, and I , of course, switched the rings from 30 mm down to 20mm, otherwise, the inserts wouldn't fit!
That's very innovative! I love a good pocket cover, haha!
My Kaki/Undyed Toscana is very squeeky. It's mostly the undyed that gets that nice "sound", just like with Epoca leather.
My fave "productivity" book is _Time Management from the Inside Out_ by Julie Morgenstern. When I was reading productivity books back in the late 90s, I was a SAHM, trying to balance home maintenance, driving kids to afterschool activities, and having time to sew. David Allen's terminology just did not resonate with me. I found that many of the productivity books, especially those written by men, were written for executives who had minions to whom they could delegate menial tasks. Time management for moms is more related, in my opinion, to time management for secretaries -- both are often interrupt-driven and don't usually have minions to delegate to; many tasks can seem low-priority (like cleaning toilets) and repetitive (washing dishes, doing laundry); some productivity and time-management books don't address these. Julie's book helped me define my Major Goal Areas, and set my "Whys" for those areas -- for example, if having a picked-up, clean & welcoming home is a priority, then cleaning toilets on some schedule becomes important. (And as an aside, because I have defined my Major Goal Areas, that have remained the same for the past 35 years, I am not at all interested in Cultivate What Matters, Makse Life, or other planners that have their own defined life areas -- they are not mine (and they all have too many areas; most people can't pay attention to more than 4 or 5 categories at one time)
😍💚
Lovely comparison. Veg tanned leather darkens but chrome tanned don’t. I don’t expect that will change color. But should get some sheen but not a lot and not as dramatic as a veg tanned.
Since the Toscana is vegetable tanned (not chrome tanned) it will most likely darken en soften over time. And get lots of patina!
Thank you for sharing this!
@@JuLa-222 I didn't realize the Toscana was veg tanned. That's wonderful - it's my preference :)
I went from pocket to true A6. I love it. I'm still using my pocket for edc. I do think it was easy to find A6 print. I found many shops on etsy have them.
Your system sounds similar to mine! And yeah, Etsy has a lot of great True A6 digitals and supplies! Etsy is so great, but I forget about it sometimes, haha
I just love this detailed comparison. ❤
Thank you! And thank you for catching my upload issue earlier. I really appreciated it! I couldn't say thank you because I made it private. But I saw it, and thank you 🥰
Thank you so much for this excellent review! Very well done. Oh, and the new box is new with the toscana leather so you’re one of the first to have one 😊
Thank you so much for the compliment! And thank you for the details of the box! That's really good to know!
The review we have all been waiting for. ❤thank you. I’m a follower. Looking forward to your flip.
Thank you so much to both things! I'm looking forward to recording a flip, too!
I appreciate your attention to detail so much! Great review video - thank you!
Thank you so much for saying so! I'm glad you enjoyed it 💚
