New books recs! Thank you! I feel all of this. I wasted so much money this year on dated planners that didnt work for me. I ended up right back in my b6 slim TN for planning and my Hobo cousin for journaling. Instagram is definitely overwhelming us with choices and i havent been posting as much because of all the chaos its bringing to my life. Im trying to be very intentional from here on out and moving into my purchases for 2025. Good luck to all of us! 🤗🤗

I saw reviews saying the A5 foundation was heavy and bulky to them. Do you feel the personal size is heavy to carry around with inserts of course? but because leather is usually heavier than vegan ones. I am hesitating between this personal in black or the one from MyRoadMap

Hey thanks so much for watching. So that planner can get heavy depending on paper weight and also how much you put in the planner.

I am a planner shop on Etsy and I’m about to start educating people on this KZread channel about how paper is by far the most important part of making your own planners via digital planner insert downloads. I’ve been printing my own planners stuff for the past two years My perfect perfect cost-effective but still good quality paperweight is 24 pounds . Of course you don’t want copy paper which is 18 pounds to 20 pounds… Even when I have purchased 22 pound paper it’s still felt too thin therefore, printing on both sides felt like the paper was a tiny bit transparent I typically will still buy 28 pound paper but I will use 28 pound paper to print inserts that I need to last for a very, very long time such as a perpetual Callender that I have to keep for the entire year Anytime I have to print my child’s school calendar. I printed 28 pound paper so it’ll last me all 12 months. But things like a daily insert that I rewrite every day and throw away the old one … I use 24 pound paper

I’m so sorry for the winded comment ahead of time, however… I was binge watching since found ur channel tonite. N I’m so curious, if u get a minute to enlighten me or want to, lol I found myself caregiving for my mother after her C-19 episode, she went from active to bedridden to semi moving around since 2021. Living with me now, diabetic, blood clots, now new kidney issues, etc. I found that being digital while on phone with drs / providers along with going into office visits isn’t ideal to pull out phone n give or note info especially if drs think ur texting or not paying attention, kinda rude. Anyway my question is. Do you have a separate set up for the things you keep track of for your parents? I started out with pocket tn but I switched to personal rings so I can make her a binder with sections for history, meds, appts, specialist, etc. just wondering if you have a different easier method.

I have DIY’d everything from a 11 disc bound to a micro, tn, rings, disc, composition books, school binders, etc. I found myself thrown into a situation that I was forced to go from being a digital nerd to having paper in hand for care taking of my mom almost overnight. So I sooooo understand the “testing waters” of other options. I think I will forever hop out of boredom lol. I think it’s a situation of… “seasons” I believe in our lives sometimes season change. Doesn’t mean our season “won’t change” just means “it hasn’t changed yet” so no guilt of trying other things when we get bored, u may find one day ur season changes.

I started a Weeks in December, noticed I have at least 45 weeks kits, said to myself “I want to not be wasteful and use it all”, now it’s march and I want to give it up because the stickers have created so many grooves and I dislike it. I also think I should’ve gotten a mega to have enough space for bullet journaling in the back. Then I have a sterling ink b6 (which I love) but I feel like I’m duplicating stuff and force myself to use it but now the weeks has not enough space for listing. So. I’m stuck for what really works for me right now. I did find the new AuraEstelle weeks and bought it. I think it’s a good solution (think).

Oh, I completely get the feeling. I so want to go back to my one bullet journal, but after joining the planner community a few years back and fully accepting my obsession with stationary, it feels impossible 😅 I do have to say, though, that being a planner content creator there are two versions of systems (at least in my case) the one(s) that I truly use and keep at the end of the year and the ones that are more for content creation and that I know will not stay with me a the end of the year. Either way, it is a creative hobby that changes all the time and feeds from different systems. 🫶 I can't wait to see your new weeks. I also got two and can't wait to chat all about them! )

I removed social media from my phone two months ago and after a decade of struggling to read, I have been reading constantly again. It changed so much beyond reading, too.
I definitely have seen such an improvement in my reading since removing social media platforms. I have seen a change in my attention as well.
I always seem to have a Midori A6 and B6 slim on the go. Lol. Whatever else is happening in my planner world, those two really bring me joy. So now I am using an A6 for all my financial data for the year and the B6 slim is for morning pages. I'll find any excuse to have them in my planner arsenal 😁
I love that you are using what you love and despite whatever is going on you have your A6 and B6. I feel like I always have to continue using a constant in my life, so I understand. Thanks so much for sharing with us. 🤎
I’m so sorry for the winded comment ahead of time, however… I was binge watching since found ur channel tonite. N I’m so curious, if u get a minute to enlighten me or want to, lol I found myself caregiving for my mother after her C-19 episode, she went from active to bedridden to semi moving around since 2021. Living with me now, diabetic, blood clots, now new kidney issues, etc. I found that being digital while on phone with drs / providers along with going into office visits isn’t ideal to pull out phone n give or note info especially if drs think ur texting or not paying attention, kinda rude. Anyway my question is. Do you have a separate set up for the things you keep track of for your parents? I started out with pocket tn but I switched to personal rings so I can make her a binder with sections for history, meds, appts, specialist, etc. just wondering if you have a different easier method.
Hello 👋🏽 I really appreciate you sharing this. I write my notes for my parents in the back of my Hobonichi weeks in sections. For examples, mom’s medications, medical history, hospitalizations and etc. I hope that makes sense.
Bless your heart. Hugs for you taking care of your dear Mom.
@@solascripturamjc9681 thank you, I’m the blessed one to still have her. 😁😁
I wanted to take a quick second to tell you. That I have been so overwhelmed trying to find the best fit for me n my situation. I have DIY’d everything from a 11 disc bound to a micro, tn, rings, disc, composition books, school binders, etc. I found myself thrown into a situation that I was forced to go from being a digital nerd to having paper in hand for care taking of my mom almost overnight. So I sooooo understand the “testing waters” of other options. I think I will forever hop out of boredom lol. I think it’s a situation of… “seasons” I believe in our lives sometimes season change. Doesn’t mean our season “won’t change” just means “it hasn’t changed yet” so no guilt of trying other things when we get bored, u may find one day ur season changes. In the meantime, side note… haven’t tried bound books yet n must say u have sparked my interest to try lol thank you for sharing, so glad I found ur channel. (New sub)
I love that I have you interested in book bound planners. I think it’s a great system for me plus I can review the notes in my Hobonichi Weeks planner.
💕💕💕
Thank you!!! 🤎🤎
Yeah I don't use fugitive inks in my hobonichi because I find they're not archival I had a purple ballpoint that I loved but always faded and turned pinkish. I only really use black or blue uni ballpoint and mildliner highlighter. I use it for practical every day things so I don't use my gels in it.
I completely agree about only using ball point pens because gel pens are a "no" in this planner. I am only going to use my Uni Jet Streams and Mildliners from now on. There is no point in archiving them if the ink changes colors or begins to change.
So glad you found your sweet spot. I’m using the PTD weeks and enjoy decorating with SI stickers, but you gave some ideas for my cover; I’m working on using one book and optimizing all the layouts. Have multiple books has become overwhelming for me as well.
I completely hear you. Having multiple books can be very overwhelming not to mention overstimulating besides getting stressed about not filling in the dates. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this.
You can switch the inks to use the cutest pen: pull the ink cartridge out and push in, any size nib works in all Jetstream bodies
You are absolutely right I can use the cutest pens by switching the inks but I actually like the look of the Uni Jetstream 3 pens however I will always have cute pens on standby should I get bored.
@@TheMinimalSophisticate I meant if you prefer the darker jetstream ink, switch into the Jetstream body you prefer. My English wasn't working yesterday 🙃 I use a slim Jetstream with 0.38 and 0.5 black and 0.38 blue. That pink pen body is so perfect with your setup!
❤️ Love this! I’m back in my 2018 era system-B6 stalogy for all planning, project things, and writing! Feels so good and grounding!
Love that! You completely got this. I sometimes feel like doing what centers you is always best.

Love the hugging skeletons
Thanks so much for watching. So do I! They were so cute.
Love it.
Thanks so much. I really appreciate you watchingl.
I started a Weeks in December, noticed I have at least 45 weeks kits, said to myself “I want to not be wasteful and use it all”, now it’s march and I want to give it up because the stickers have created so many grooves and I dislike it. I also think I should’ve gotten a mega to have enough space for bullet journaling in the back. Then I have a sterling ink b6 (which I love) but I feel like I’m duplicating stuff and force myself to use it but now the weeks has not enough space for listing. So. I’m stuck for what really works for me right now. I did find the new AuraEstelle weeks and bought it. I think it’s a good solution (think).
Thanks so much for sharing Mari! I did see the new weeks from Aura Estelle and good thing I did not order it since my Hubby got me these too. I know exactly what you mean. I felt like I was duplicating my Personal and B6 and trying to play catch up. So now I think I have found my planner peace, the key word is "thinks."
Oh, I completely get the feeling. I so want to go back to my one bullet journal, but after joining the planner community a few years back and fully accepting my obsession with stationary, it feels impossible 😅 I do have to say, though, that being a planner content creator there are two versions of systems (at least in my case) the one(s) that I truly use and keep at the end of the year and the ones that are more for content creation and that I know will not stay with me a the end of the year. Either way, it is a creative hobby that changes all the time and feeds from different systems. 🫶 I can't wait to see your new weeks. I also got two and can't wait to chat all about them! )
I love that you shared this. I think as someone who truly loves being in this hobby and community, you do gravitate towards what others use however I also find myself getting pulled back in the same direction I was going in before. So for me, it's really important to find what works. I like that you have one for content creation purposes and wish I had the time for that right now. I also like the fact that I now have everything in one system without having to keep up with separate planners. I can't wait to see what you do with your content and truly agree that this is a creative hobby that does in fact change all the time. Can't wait to chat next time!
Who has gone through these exact same emotions? Gone through finding the best system among the chaos of life and feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated?
I am here watching for the 3rd time cause I am shopping for a new cover👀
It hard to choose a cover. I will say that this cover is pretty but also a little stiff. It’s not floppy but you can train it to lay flat.
What is the name of the wallet. Want one thanks
Hello and thanks for watching. I purchased this from Portland Leather Goods (Not an Affiliate) here is the link: www.portlandleathergoods.com/products/small-zip-wallet
I love your planning videos. Do your parents live with you? I live with my 87 year old mom.
Hello and thanks so much for watching. I appreciate you taking the time to watch. I moved my parents out of their apartment and in with me going on 4 years now. So yes, they live here full time and at times it can be a handful as you probably know. Some days are tough, some days are exhausting but I do it all because I love them.
