Video

I have done a video about the other one three years ago. There you can see more of the questions that it has. czcams.com/video/xv3hrJfvgA0/video.html But I think the questions are pretty similar in style. At least I haven't noticed any big difference. And you need to remember there are 365/366 questions per year. You won't remember all. Of course some you will, but most of them not. And even though the questions are the same every year, your answers most likely are different and that's also interesting to see. They have different editions for personal Q&A's, but I haven't seem if they do themes also for couple journals. Don't know if the new Potter Style journal has different questions then this hard cover one that I have. I looked the prices from Adlibris. If you search there with Q&A you will find these two and many others too.

They are from Plotter, product name: Project Manager 6 Colors Assortment PLT0008 (Mini 5 Size). plotterusa.com/products/project-manager-6-colors-assortment-plt0008-mini-5-size/ You can buy them from Plotter if you are in Japan, USA or Canada. I live in Finland and managed to get mine from Amazon Japan. I don't know if other Amazons have them. I do wish Plotter products would be more widely available. Thanks for commenting, I hope this answer helps.

It's nice to hear you have only positive experiences with Moterm 👍🏼 I'm still amazed at how much I love this cover - and that I didn't have to pay hundreds for this luxurious experience.

@@Katiplans I had that exact reaction when I got my first one. I just couldn’t fathom that I got a cover THIS NICE for less than $100 American dollars. Now, they’re all I want to use and own lol.

That's a good suggestion. I just don't understand the concept of a reference notebook 😅 I have watched some flips but it just hasn't opened to me how I would benefit from it. I need to keep thinking about it... Thank you for commenting 😊

@@Katiplans For me, it helps me remember things that either dont change or don’t change often but are always relevant to my life. For example, I’ve got a page dedicated to all of the books I own. It helps keep me from buying duplicates.

Haha, I have tried to make a list like that but have failed. But it's a good idea. Thank you for your explanation of the reference book - I like that 👍🏼 I will keep thinking about it 😊

@@Katiplans I also have failed at making that kinda list, so I totally relate lol.

I have looked at those Midori pocket diaries for years already before I purchased my first one. They are so cute! If I start thinking now, I may come up with a use case for one for next year 😅 I have been wondering if I could replace one Hobonichi Weeks with the Midori Weekly... May need to try that to get some cuteness into my lineup also for next year 😊 Thank you so much for commenting 😊 P.S. What design do you have? The clover is my favorite, last year I had the birds and the dog one I keep eyeing every year 😍

@@Katiplans I have had the bird one this year and last because I have pet budgies. The clover is my second favourite. The dog and cat ones have such cute illustrations too though.

If you buy the mini and put it in a passport cover, the pen loop is also a great bonus. I enjoyed using it in my passport TN. And now I need to stop talking myself into buying one for next year too 😅

Thank you for watching and commenting 😊

It's a Fjällraven Travel Wallet. I found it on a flea market and just had to buy it. I love the color. It doesn't come with elastics. I put those in myself. I have tried to find it online, but can only find the smaller versions, so I don't know if they have stopped making it 😔 The passport size version fits two passport sized inserts. I have shown that one here, if you are interested: czcams.com/video/cxUC9fUalwE/video.htmlsi=l3pQCoFZ_hFdUPD9&t=687 Thank you for commenting 🙏🏻

@@Katiplans wow so amazing thay means this is a rare product Loved your share Katie

Yes, I cherish it very much and I couldn’t believe my luck. It was in excellent condition and still a bargain. Like tenth of the retail price! I just couldn’t leave it behind although I didn’t know what I could use it for 😅 But I was sure that at least Hobonichi Weeks would fit, and I was so glad to realize that regular inserts fit also 👍🏼 Thank you, I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the video 😊

Thank you so much for commenting, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video 😊 Yes, sorry about the daily planner. I forgot to mention what it is, because I have been talking about it so much lately 😅 I did an unboxing and a flip about it before this video. It's a Moterm pocket Luxe 2.0 VegTan cover, but I have changed the 30mm rings which it comes with to 19mm rings. The color is plum (which seems sadly to be sold out now). If you want to see my anxiety about getting it, watch the unboxing video 😅 czcams.com/video/wprcQZmpbUw/video.html It's my first vegtan Moterm and I had my doubts about getting it... but now I love it 😊

Thank you 😊 I can admit that I didn't enjoy stacking my books in one place - it was a bit too much to be honest. But now it's done, and I don't have to do it for another six months 😅 But I do like making these - having the history. And it can be eyeopening to see everything at once 🤣 And yes - more is more 👍🏼🫣😂 P.S. Now I can focus on dreading the promised cover collection video - that will be tough too 😅

@@Katiplans I really don’t think it’s too much because you are using each for a purpose - there weren’t many pending at all! But I guess then you can share your cover collection and it might seem more… but that’s another thing… because we can have multiple covers for one purpose if you just prefer to change colors for seasons etc.

I have never been good at changing my covers for seasons. I see others do that, and it seems like a great idea to get some variety and change. But usually I stick to one cover because it helps my brain to know what's inside. And sometimes when I try to change covers, I reach for the wrong books and things stop working. I also would like to have all covers in use... But if you are happy in one certain size I can understand wanting to change up covers sometimes. I would like to be able to do that... On the other hand - I like the idea of one perfect cover too... But I also like change, so in that way the cover change could help in sticking to the same system. Do you change covers for seasons?

@@Katiplans Yes, I see others do it and I can understand - like changing clothing, styles etc. But I mostly use certain covers for specific purposes. It might change over time, but generally, I want them all to be in use, rather than swapping around... but I'm just swimming in supplies right now and I think it has more to do with other things going on in life and it's like my stationery situation is a reflection of my life situtation!

I hope everything is okay, or at least will be okay again soon 😘 I don't know if swimming in supplies is good or not, but I assume it's not your preferred situation 🥹

Luckily I haven't journaled yet from some travels pre 2020, so I have still some travel journaling to do 😂

Thank you 😊 I'm so glad that I finally realized to put all things that I like together in one cover 😅

Well, I have learned that I enjoy tiny planners 😊 And this baby is heavy so with bigger inserts it would be even heavier and I think that would be too much then 🥵 But these sizes are a bit confusing, so I want to make sure that nobody reading this would get a wrong idea. Real-A6 pages won't fit in this Moterm-A7 planner. And I don't even think they would fit in the Versa version either. Only an A6 sized notebook would fit in the outer cover pockets of the newer A7-Versa. This Luxe fits the Hobonichi Weekly, which is made for the A6 Hobonichi but is actually smaller than real-A6. Moterm-A9 inserts are teeny tiny with only three holes. Mine are actually real-A7 in height but cut a bit narrower to match with the mini inserts I bought from Japan. Real-A7 (105x74mm) is half of a real-A6 (148x105mm). And my inserts are 105x62mm. Moterm-A9 inserts are 78x60mm so nearly the same width but almost 3cm shorter. And real-A9 is 52x37mm so that would be even too small for me 😅 Thank you for commenting and sorry for the long answer 🤭 I got curious about A9 so I had to find out the sizes and document it here for future reference 😅

@@Katiplans I switched the rings to the smaller ones and the A6 pages fit in. There is the overhang, but I don't care because the A6 moterm is too big

Oh yes, sure, if you don't mind the overhang. And I can agree - A6 ring covers are huge! So you too have the Moterm pocket Luxe? What color 👀

@@Katiplans I have 2 moterm pocket luxe , 2 pocket Filofaxes and gazillion other Filofaxes and moterms and FC etc.

Okay 😅 So a nice collection to choose from 👍🏼

Haha, that's a funny metaphor - but I get your point 👍🏼 I just want to have everything I like in one cover - and I'm actually pretty proud of what I have put together now 😅 Only bound doesn't work. Only rings doesn't work. So here's the end result of putting all that what works in one cover. I'm curious to see how it evolves... Thanks for commenting 😊

Thank you so much for your kind comment 😊 I do my best every day - some days that's more and some days it's less 😅 And usually I don't apologize, but apparently that day I felt that an explanation was needed...

Yay, me too 😊 Thank you for commenting 🙏🏻

Oh, I'm so glad to hear that 😊 Your comment made me happy now, so thank you for commenting 🙏🏻

Thank you for watching and commenting 😊 Moterm did release some new colors this week in the pocket Luxe 2.0, and did also a restock of a few colors like apricot. I was curious to see grapefruit and it isn't anything I was expecting because we have a different name for the red grapefruit here in Finland, but it was a pleasant surprise. We'll see if they still restock some of the older colors in the future, like plum, or will they just focus on making new colors...

@@Katiplans That’s great! I live in Sweden and I couldn’t find a supplier here. I enjoy watching your videos and your journey in finding the right planner. Yes, that’s planner peace.

Okay, you are pretty close then, hello neighbour 😊 You can buy Moterm only from their own stores: moterm.com (don't know where this ships from... USA?) - this is a good place to browse all what they have AliExpress: Moterm Official Store Amazon: Moterm DE store and US store I have only bought from AliExpress so don't have experience from buying from those other stores. Haha, I'm glad to hear you enjoy my videos. Sometimes I'm worried to share something new again, but that's just how I work. If something stops working, I need to find something else. I'm curious to see how long this current setup will work now 😅

Thanks, it's always a hassle to get things settled and working. One day the thought came to me that how easy it would be if I just used pocket inserts in the pocket rings 😅 But no, that would be too easy and simple 😂 And I do love bound books - and rings - and tiny planners - so here's now the end result of that 😊

@@Katiplans maybe if it works you can switch to pocket inserts for 2025… I’m all for using what you have now. I also use old and outdated Filofax inserts upside down as notes and scratch paper.

Now I remembered that I got some pocket inserts with the cover - had completely forgotten about those... It depends what I decide my 2025 planner to be - if I buy a Nolty or some other pocket planner. Haven't dared to look for 2025 planners yet. It's way too early in my opinion, but then again I don't wan't to miss out on something I really want.

@@Katiplans It is early but some bound books already have preorders. I think I just need to miss everything and not buy a thing … see what happens 🤣🤣🤣

Well, that is also a way to handle the situation 😂

Thank you so much for commenting - it's so lovely to hear from you so that I know that you still are there 😘 I was just the other day wondering that I haven't seen a sign from you in a while. I'm hoping it's writing that has taken up your time... I so wish that I could stay in this cover now 😅 So fingers crossed for that so that I have something to report in the future 🤞🏻

@@Katiplans I haven’t been writing, I’ve been travelling which is also fun and challenging. I have barely looked at my planners and journals. It will be something to look forward to after the summer when I need to ‘get back to the grind.’

Oh nice, it's good to get out of the grind every now and then 👍🏼 Wishing you safe travels and a lot of new happy memories 😊

Thank you for commenting 😊 I try to answer your questions as good as I can. I counted and there are now 33 videos, 34 if we count the bonus closing call she had this time. Days seven and four have 6 videos and that is a lot! Most days have 4 videos, but I can’t do the course in seven days if I’m not clearing my calendar and life for it. Now I’m planning my Q3 without the videos, but usually I have watched or listened to them while doing chores and then done the tasks and planning between videos. But now I decided due to lack of time to skip the videos except opening and closing call. And I have watched the course videos so many times already that I’m very eagerly waiting for the re-make of the course. There is about 9 to 10 hours of video material. So of course there is a lot more than what you can fit in a workbook. She gives examples and explains things in the videos. But of course if planning is familiar to you, you can do the system with the workbook alone, but I think you will then miss Sarra’s style and ideas, which is kinda in my opinion the point of doing HB90. There are a lot of planning systems, and this one does things a bit differently again. For me the power of this system comes from the repetition. It helps me to get motivated to take the time to plan again, because I can take the course every quarter (or whenever I want). And because the opening call is always live and new, I at least watch that and get inspired to plan again. And planning does help me to move my life and goals forward, so that is why I have stuck with this system. And although I despise some of the exercises, those are the ones that help me the most and that is why I force myself to do them - and the pressure of the course every quarter helps tremendously in that. The phrase is a saying which we don’t have in the Finnish language and I didn’t know it in English either, so it didn’t open up to me and when somebody constantly says something that doesn’t make any sense to you it gets irritating. And I find it is a stupid saying (which they sometimes are) so that doesn’t help either. But I don’t want to point it out, because I want everybody to have their own experience with the course. If something bugs me, it doesn’t mean it would bug others. You may love that saying and use it yourself also all the time. Hope this helps and If I missed a question, feel free to ask again 😊

Haha, I don't know what that means but I first thought that you had commented on my newest video 🫣 Maybe it just means that I have the same problems and keep talking about them 😅 Thank YOU for commenting - now I also know that I'm not the only one struggling with small annoyances 😊 But I hope we both find soon our 'planner peace'. I'm so jealous of people who find a working system and just use it and can focus on making things happen and not just keep looking for the perfect system 😅

Nice, that's lovely to hear 😊 I think I would also been happy with smooth. That is just what I wish - that I could choose the planner from a lineup. I understand why they don't do it like that (too much work), but how nice it would be to get to choose the one you really like. I think I would be ready to pay extra for that. And I wish that at least a brand like Gillio would do it. I'm curious. Do you use all three covers or prefer one over others?

@@Katiplans I haven’t used the chestnut yet as that’s a B6 for my journal, which I’ll start in August (when my A5 runs out). I love both the apricot and the plum but they definitely feel seasonal, so I’ll use the plum in autumn. I did get a VDS TM and I was rather disappointed with the leather, sadly

Oh, I'm so tempted to get a second color also... but I have to wait and see. Apparently there are some new colors coming so I'm curious about those 🙂 I like that the VDS TM is easy maintenance - but that's probably the only thing I like about that leather.

Oh, that's nice. I think that depends on where you live and where you buy from. In Finland returns are not so easy - and not always even possible if there is not seriously something wrong with the product. That is why I'm slow to buy because my unsatisfaction is not a valid reason to get my money back.

Thanks for commenting. I think I watched your unboxing right before making mine - if I remember correctly 🤔 I was a bit anxious at the time so memories are a bit blurry 😂 I have kept tweaking my setup and it still needs work to get everything fitting nicely but I'm hopeful that it will turn out nice and that we will have a long happy relationship 😅 Although I admit that I'm already thinking about getting more color options - but then there are all the same risks that I was talking about. There is no guarantee, that I will get something I like - and I don't think that there is an option of free return to AliExpress... Because they say on the site that you get what you get and that's it. Natural variation etc.

@@Katiplans Yes it is a random chance to see what type of leather you get - which is why in the groups BST is nice you can see pictures of exactly what you get… but you can’t always find exactly what you want. So I am currently going down the rabbit hole of mini planners… it’s so tiny and cute but also less on one page is like focus only in this one thing. However, I realize I might need bifocals because I keep taking off my glasses to see close up and then put them back in for the computer screen - oh my! 🫠

Oh no, after you said that I had to test and it's the same thing for me! I can read my planner better without my classes 🥹 So no wonder I don't use my classes when journaling and planning. But I have had sometimes problems reading small prints, so next time I just have to remember take of my classes - at least I hope that helps to make the text readable 😅 If not, maybe it's time to check my eyesight again...

@@Katiplans Yes it’s when we get older and the eye doctor asked me about it because I’m at that age and I was a bit shocked … I’m old but don’t always feel that old - I mean I sort of joke about it but then reality hits. It’s pretty annoying having to take off glasses out on again and again 😭

But you can't be like old old - don't you have a small child? So then you can't be old. And old is relative. But yeah - I have middle age crisis, so I feel you. I don't want to be so old as I am 😭

Thank you so much for your comment 🙏🏻 I'm glad to hear you were able to sell those that didn't feel like you. I would also need to do that... Yeah, Hobonichi is bad 😅 I think I need to write myself clear instructions before the release so that I wouldn't forget what I like and don't like, and use and don't use 😂 So glad to hear you like your Moterm veg tan and that it has aged nicely. I hope I will develop a good relationship with mine as well 😊

👍🏼😊

Nice 😊 That surely must be very cute 😍 What do you use it for? One book July?!

I found on the Filofax UK site this text: ”Please note: Exact ring mechanism measurements can vary depending on the year of manufacture. Mini organisers made before 2020 come with slightly smaller 13mm rings; Mini organisers released from 2021 onward contain 15mm rings.” But - in my personal opinion, I would choose the cover with a design you like more. The Malden and Saffiano are so different in pocket configurations and also that Malden is real leather and Saffiano faux-leather and of course what color do you like. I don’t know if you can really even notice in use the difference between 13 and 15mm rings. So in short it apparently depends where you buy it from how old stock they have if it has 13 or 15mm rings.

Oh, so jealous. I feel like always when the HB90 bootcamp runs there is an unexpected emergency which takes all my time, but I’m hoping I could do it next week 🤞🏻 Increasing income sounds like a good plan, but it’s not always easy… but I have to agree that it would be the best solution in this case 👍🏻 I’m a bit curious about how much you have spent on the vintage ring planners you have bought now 😏 Is it more or less than my two filofax originals 🫣

@@Katiplans oh shucks! It is more motivating to me to do hb90 in real-time but at least you always have access - so just do it as you can! I have done it quarterly but not always completely (the rebel in me) - but each time I feel I get better at it and more clarity. Definitely an iterative process! lol 😝 you are putting me on the spot! So I have bought a lot of actual vintage Filofaxes which are like 10 or 15 euro used items - so I consider it fun money and okay in budget. For the new personal binders - they cost more but definitely super discounted and I couldn’t resist the deal 😅😅😅 it’s interesting to think about prices of things in general. Sometimes we spend a lot on say… eating out… and so you have to think - okay what is worth it to me because it’s all a personal judgement… I do need to stop following prices and see the deals because it’s too easy to buy things that are a great deal but I don’t actually need! 😭

I don't know if I have ever been able to do HB90 in real time. It always takes me more than 7 days... Apparently I can't do so much thinking in such a short amount of time even if I had the time 😅 But I'm excited to be doing it again! I still have one week left before Q3 starts so I'm still on time 🤞🏻 Oh yes, a good deal is just waisted money if it's something you don't need or use... I fell for that last week and felt bad afterwards. I could have spend the money on something I really want or need 😕 Spending money is always a decision and choice. I have decided not to spend money on eating out so that I would have money for other things (like stationery). And that is also what I need to think about again - where I could spend less to have more money for stationery (if increasing income is not the solution that's available now). I have even been trying to avoid buying candy and other treats with the motivation that I would then have more money for stationery. Which is correct, but what I don't always remember in the grocery store when my mind wants something else... But one thing I'm sure about is that 20 euros a month for stationery is not enough! That problem I need to solve asap 😅

@@Katiplans I did start hb90 beforehand so I had more time to think on things. I find making the decisions on what to focus on the hardest part. Yes, 20 euros can be really difficult unless you hide from internet usage and never go out 😂😂😂

I have just made them myself: 1. plan what size list you want 2. write your list 3. cut to size (minus laminating margins) and decorate 4. laminate 5. cut to wanted size -- ready. You could also print on thicker paper if you don't have a laminator and clue two sides together to make it stronger, or just use clear packing tape or something similar. Or just hand write on nice card stock. Do what ever sparks joy and works for you 😊

It's a constant trial and error looking for a "perfect" working system, but I will now focus on the working and not the perfect. But I think I still need to find some solution... it kinda hasn't clicked in place yet... I'm trying to resist the urge to buy something new, but I'm not making any promises 😅 Thanks for commenting 😊

I don't remember if I used that word in the video, but I think investing is not the right verb in this case 😅 I think it would be just spending. Maybe in the second-hand market with vintage items it can be investing if you think of selling them someday, but I usually keep my covers. I'm so sad that everybody is giving me the wise advice of not buying 😂 I so would want to buy... But I think you can't say anything if I buy a used cover, right 😏

@@Katiplans Haha! I meant to say investing in a costly planner - but maybe using that word is only justification LOL well, you have a stationery budget so ultimately you are more informed than most of us in stationery spending! What will you do with the cute Filofax original mini you got?

​@@tortagialla Are you interested in my Original Mini? 😏I was planning to just keep it for now. Use it as storage for used mini inserts. A bit costly storage binder 😅

@@Katiplans I already have a different mini organizer but I was wondering if you found a different use 😂

I thought of trimming the Hobonichi to fit it in a smaller cover, but I don't want to take it apart. That doesn't feel right now. I have had this exact set up now for two weeks but it feels so right that I have to think very hard to remember what I had before it 😅 I believe you could eventually find a buyer for it. And to avoid questions put the exact measurements and clearly state what it was made for. But anyways, I'm sorry to hear that the Nolty didn't work out for you and your money is now stuck in a cover you don't have any use for. Not trusting myself to be able to custom a perfect cover for myself I would very likely buy something ready-made, so I think I would then be able to sell it again. And also - I have already done the mistake of investing in expensive covers that didn't work for me the way I wanted. But - then I just made them work, because they cost so much, or just accepted that I made a mistake in the past with the knowledge I had back then. And if I start to think about all the clothes, shoes, bags... that I should have left in the store, I don't feel so bad anymore about the few covers that ended up being a mistake. But I promise to consider very thoroughly before making a purchase. I have already thought about it for two weeks and the pondering goes on still 😅 Thanks for commenting 😊

Thank you for the recommendation. I checked the channel and saw that they have put pocket rings in a passport TN. I don't understand the language, but I try to get some inspiration and ideas despite the language barrier. I usually just listen and watch only now and then so it's a bit of a challenge for me 😅

​@@Katiplans Oh I see, don't worry, I understand. I don't understand japanese either, but I use the CZcams translator and I understand it quite well. Indeed it has a hybrid system of TNrings with inserts, I thought it was great because it is similar to what you did, it has some videos where it explains how to use the plastic folder of the TNp to make a trifold so that she always has her notebook and the rings interest page in sight, she has been using all of this for years, so I think those are very interesting as ideas. I don't imitate what she does but I thought there were quite practical ideas there.

​@@wormzhao I'll try to find those videos. I'm interested in the trifold idea. And I thought that there would be a translate function but I couldn't find it on my phone... maybe it only works on a computer or tablet... But now that I know it is there I will also keep searching for that 😅

I don't understand how people have time and energy for journaling or planning while traveling 😅 I usually don't even manage basic tracking, but let's see what happens with my new setup 🤞🏻 I get to test it out soon when we go visit some relatives. That's mostly what our traveling is about - short trips around Finland visiting people. We haven't been abroad since 2019... I have looked around and luckily many pocket ring covers are too small for my A6 Weekly or have the wrong pocket configuration. I say luckily because I'm better off making decisions from a small variety 😂 I do have my eyes on one cover... but I will try to contain myself 👍🏼 I think I will try to make a plan for my 2025 lineup before making any cover purchases. Thank you - we had a very relaxing weekend which we haven't had in about six months 🥹 Let's hope better times are ahead 😊 Thank you for commenting ❤️ Wishing you lovely summer days and hoping you will not go nuts in the coming planner season 😘

Kiitos järjen äänestä. Sitä oikeasti kaipasin. Tuo kuulostaa hyvältä haasteelta, että katsoo yhden kuukauden tilannetta. 👍 En lupaa mitään, mutta yritän pysyä järkevänä ja vaikka tarkkailla käytettyjen kansien markkinoita. Joo ei mahdu A6 passport kokoon. Isompaan malliin mahtuu regular-kokoinen TN-vihko, mutta nyt en äkkiseltään löytänyt sitä netistä. Ehkä se on lopetettu malli. Jännitin itse saanko mahtumaan passport kokoa siihen lompakkoon, joten katsoin netistä, mistä sitä löytyy ja marssin mun vihkojen kanssa kauppaan ja sovitin 😂 Sitten uskalsin tilata haluamani värin netistä, kun sitä ei ollut missään kivijalka myymälässä saatavilla. Ikävä kuulla, että sullakin ilmeisesti on jotain haasteita elämässä. Onhan se tavallaan harhauttamista, mutta sitten toisaalta ei siitäkään mitään tulisi, jos murehdittais 24/7. On hyvä, jos on harrastus tai mielenkiinnonkohde, joka saa unohtamaan muut murheet. Toisaalta liika netissä surffailu kyllä aiheuttaa itsessä ahdistusta 😅 Täydelliseen en itse ehkä enää usko, mutta jos edes löytäisi toimivan, olisi huippua 😊 Kiitos kommentista, on hyvä päästä välillä harjoittelemaan äidinkielen käyttöä ettei ihan kokonaan unohdu 😂

Oh, that's interesting. I will check it out. Thanks for letting me now. 👍

I also enjoy separate books, but I don't enjoy carrying so many... But also having everything literally in one book would be kind of a nightmare to me 😅 I think I wouldn't find anything and it would just feel like a mess. Unless it's rearrangeable like discs or rings, but then I'm missing the bound... So I'm excited of having rings and bound in one book. That feels like a perfect system to me. I think it needed me to be in the right sizes, that I finally could make it happen with what I have in my stash. Now I'm a bit scared, but also excited to go look for my 2025 calendar... What all I will find that's tempting me 😬 But it's a good limit if I now decide that it must be pocket or smaller. I think that will save me from a lot of temptations 😅

Yesssss!

absolutely!

No, I haven't. It looks very cute. I'm just wondering about the rings/holes. The distance doesn't look standard so then you would need to use a single hole punch. Do you have an A9 Moterm? Thanks for commenting and making me aware of even smaller ring planners 😅

Oh, that would be so interesting to see your tiny planners and journals 😍 Do you use a TN cover? How many inserts/notebooks do you have in use at the same time? Tiny is so great for portability. I don't understand how people carry huge heavy planners around 😅 Recently I went back to mini rings. Always when I get too overwhelmed I go back to tiny planners. That usually helps to get myself back on track, but I don't understand why I can't stay in the smaller size... When I get over the overwhelm I start thinking I could handle a bigger planner and the cycle starts over... Just today I was thinking about trying an A5. Why? I think I need to journal about that 😅 Thanks for commenting 😊 It was so nice to hear someone using micro/nano successfully 👍

Answering these comments from strangers give me a good escape from my everyday life 🥰 Being able to talk about stationery and getting new ideas ❤️ That laminating idea was great 👍 And maybe I just need to get over my pen&paper snobbism 😅 In the end my problems are small - they just seem huge in the context of my little life. But thinking about the world situation doesn't help either, so maybe I just keep focusing on stationery and what's good or bad about that... Thank you for commenting - that way I know that you are still there and doing at least good enough to comment 😊 Hope you are doing well ❤️

@@Katiplans thank you, I'm okay.❤ I think no matter the size of the problem - big or small - sometimes the sheer amount just adds up to being completely unbearable. So if stationery is your sanctuary, I'm really glad you're sharing it with us! Also I completely get your paper snobism, after tomoe river I started to hate almost everything else, especially very toothy gritty paper like craft 😆

Yes, we have a lot of those here in Finland, which is the home of Moomins. Sadly I'm not such a big Moomin fan, but I do sometimes enjoy some of the products 🙂 Thanks for commenting 😊

Haha, I'm not going to start arguing which one is more stupid - unnecessary stationery or scratchies 😅 In Finland part of the money goes to charity so you can always think of giving to charity when gambling 😂 So in that way I think scratchies are better than bad stationery. But of course that may only be the case here in Finland. Well, I'm very bad at asking for help/support... so no luck there. But I'm taking care of myself. Sleeping, exercising, eating well and so on. The car analogy is bad in our case, because we do it ourselves, and we only fix things when they break 🤣 But I do get the point 😅😘 And of course we do some maintenance, like oil changes and so. But oh boy, the countless hours on the parking lot... with our teenager aged cars... Luckily my spouse enjoys it, so that is his way of relaxing 😉 Thank you for your comment ❤️ It made me laugh and brought a smile to my face 😊 And I will remind my spouse about the oil change 😅

Oh I see now. I totally understand not sharing all things - just in general I don’t think we should share all things on the internet. Totally makes sense that things happening to people around us make a huge effect on our lives! I hope it gets better and you can find some solace in stationery hobby things either way ❤

I wanted to mention the legami brand is Italian so we have while shops here! their stuff is so cute but not really high quality especially if you are used to Japanese stationery! My daughter loves all the legami things 😊

Sometimes cuteness beats quality 😊

@@Katiplans yes, maybe not long term use things but cuteness overload for sure.
