The 2024 Common Planner VS the 2024 Journey Planner
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 7 měsíci
The 2024 Common Planner VS the 2024 Journey Planner
Interesting comparison. So far, I have only used the Hobo Weeks and a SI A5 planner. I noticed that this upcoming year has darker print and has the horizontal midpoint makings. She really seems to listen to the feedback and act on what she can if it makes fiscal sense. The other point of difference that favors SI is that the left hand pages in the weekly spreads are gridded as well. Having used a Hobo Weeks this year, I would be neater in that space with grids of some sort. I have used my Weeks as my go-to planner to carry with me and it serves me well. But for 2025, I am leaning to SI N2 for the extra space and feel. I have an N2 notebook from SI and adore the feel and look of the cover (it’s the caramel). It is so buttery soft. My A5 was onyx and had a scratchy feel to it. It sounds like you would like the upcoming changes to the planner.
@@hollyc4624 Indeed I appreciate the changes Catherine made for 2025. I can super appreciate a small business that does their best to accommodate the needs of their customers 💜
The BPC Dusk ink just hit my wishlist
@@samiramadison9161 It certainly is gorgeous!
wow, what a great collection !!
@@impish22 Thank you💜
I like the week on one page, think I’m going to try that 😊 thank you for the info 😊
Glad to help some, hope you get it to work out for you! Happy planning.
Thank you! I’m inspired now to make a few changes myself. Your journal is very helpful! I was considering how to start one and what you are doing makes so much sense. With my kiddos, I don’t have that much time to write out scripture and prayers in a delicate way. So just blotting it down with what you have at hand helps. I’m in peri menopause, and considering HRT… It might help my body feel “normal” again I think… Are you on HRT?
Glad I could be a little inspiration! I am on HRT and feel soooooo much better now than before! I tell absolutely everyone with symptoms to get their hormones checked with a DUTCH test. It helped me figure out why I was so sick. Be your own advocate, if your Dr.refuses....get a new one. We have zero need as women to live the second half of our lives in misery! Thanks for watching💜
You pink passport is gorgeous ❤. You might like the sterling ink monthly booklet then just an open booklet/notebook. I use mine similarly and thought that might work best
I do have the booklet but it is quite thin for my covers, if only there were more pages. I could piggy back it with a notebook. Decisions,decisions,lol.
@@plannermumsy exactly what I was considering. Did you modify your pink cover or was it a straight passport?
@@kerritotty1844 I widened it a smidge to accomodate a pen better.
On function and fun... from a UI (User Interface standpoint) the win actually goes to the Hobonichi. The design is deliberately made to adhere to good design practice. Visually and mentally the spaces are well defined and it is very easy for the eye and less work for the brain to find things quickly. The Sterling might be great for a sticker fan who just needs real estate, but for getting things done the design choices are ultimately working against how we are designed.
I appreciate your opinion, even though we disagree😉
Haha I was just thinking, “I wonder what Heather is using now?” And here you are!
Haha. Perfect timing💜 Thanks for watching!
Lovely pens!
Thank you so much💜
The cover is stunning, the Amica is my favorite from Gillio! Beautiful dashboards that you made, goals! Can you share where you purchased the exercise log insert? Thanks so much for sharing. The Oura ring sounds interesting, I’ll have to read up on it. 😊
I delayed my response so I could look it up and unfortunately the person that made the insert never put their company on the side of the insert. I can't figure out whom made it. Sorry about that😢 The Oura ring has been great for me personally. I have heard there are others on the market similar but I don't know anything about them.
@@plannermumsy no worries, thanks so much for trying to find it! And the Oura ring info! 💕
❤❤❤
I'm not a die hard anything fan. I wish I could be because it would make decisions much simpler. I actually love the quotes and the creamier paper in the Hobonichi weeks. I find it more restful on the eyes. I also like all the cover options for the Hobonichi weeks including the artist and business collaborations. It's nice to have so many options. I also love the lighter grid/type in the Sterling Ink and lack of calendars on every page as it's easier to use. I haven't had any issues with wear and tear for either my past Hobonichi weeks or my N2 Sterling Ink notebooks. I find they are both best with a clear or paper cover because I'm not careful at all with my planners, but that's ease of cleaning and not durability. I like the texture of the Sterling Ink clear covers better than the Hobonichi ones based on subzero winter use. I find the Sterling Ink is easier to get to stay flat, but with minimal effort they'll both get there so it's not a deciding factor. I like the softer cover of the Sterling Ink better as it's easier to write on on the go and I don't like the sneaker weeks covers at all, but the hard covers aren't a deal breaker. For prices and accessibility I find them both in the premium stationary category. Value wise they are similar once they get to me (I'm in Canada). And they both have great communities surrounding them. Overall I think they are both good planners and I'm glad they're both available in the market.
Thankfully we all have options to choose from that work best for each of us💜
Sterling Ink wanted it to be a bit darker, but they didn't come as dark as she ordered them. The 2025 ones are darker.
They. Are. Too expensive
Cute pen - what is it?
I have the Hobo Cousin, and the 2025 release of Sterling Ink has won a new customer for an A5 and TBD to carry in my purse, but not the N2 because the horizontal week is a hard no for me, idk why, it just doesn’t work, for me personally, I know others feel the opposite, and others it doesn’t matter. I like the cleaner overall look. It doesn’t assault the eyes, and the print is not too faded for me (and it is darker now.) The dark grey/red for the weekend is a visual distraction for me, and the quote at the bottom is “a waste of real estate” imo, also it just creates more distracting visual clutter. I do love the moon phases in the Hobo, but as someone who loves astronomy, I have plenty of moon stickers. Also, the addition of the 40 plain grid pages in the back for the 2025 (I’m not so sure how many the weeks has…and really, just the blank side of each week is great in the Hobo. Also, the changing colors for each month…sometimes I like them, sometimes I don’t. I like the covers on the Weeks and the Hon version, and I like having more real estate for the ‘year index.’ There are some pluses and minuses, but overall the visual look and the extra blank 40 pages sold me.
Does Leonardo/salvatore make custom pens for anyone or is there a process that can be shared to get one made?
I totally get why you would want to change it. I would too. I actually don’t know why Esterbrook would release the one from the picture 🫣 Beautiful fountain pen!
@@jouwjournalnl It’s a tough call for sure. All of the photos from launch looked like the second one I purchased. Personally I think maybe it’s on the blank maker? The variants that can take place making a blank are vast. Sometimes your batches don’t come out as planned🤷🏻♀️ Maybe they thought they would look different until they were turned? I’m not a maker so it is tough to say for certain. I’m just guessing really. Either way, thankfully I got the one I wanted in the end without too much trouble. It’s honestly the first time I ever returned a pen to anyone 😳 Thanks for watching.
Wonderful
Mark Bacas is a consummate nib master. I hope that I spelled his name correctly RS. Canada
When I bought my MagnaCarta 650 at DC, I inked it and made sure it wrote because I have read stories where there are problems. I was told only to use Sailor, Monteblanc, or Waterman in the Mag 650. I bought a Navahlar Vacations Quebec and it did not write out of the box so I took it back for them to tune. It then wrote with their ink but not waterman. I ended up having Gina Salerino tune it at my expense and it writes like I expected to out of the box (at my expense). Vendors that tuned after sale offered a lot more value to the buyer than those who just tossed a jowo nib on and sent you on your way. Edison Pens, Kanilea, Leonardo were examples of vendors who tuned to your satisfaction before ever leaving with the pen. I am sure there were others. It is disappointing to hear stories about Magna Carta, Navhalar, and Visconti nibs being defective out of the box. So disappointing.
@@TumescentPuma I 1000% agree. I will be sending my pen out to be fixed at my expense. I totally should have wrote with it at the show. I did with all the others, so it’s a bummer I didn’t Check this one when I bought it. Lesson learned indeed. I do primarily write with Sailor inks but for now just so I could use it, I put a different nib on it. It is what makes certain makers stand out to me. Do they tune their nibs? What is their customer service etc. So many horror stories I read after the fact🤦🏻♀️ Why do I always have to learn the hard way🤣🤣😂 Oh well, it’s a rather minor issue in the scheme of life and thankfully a fixable one. Thanks for watching!
@@plannermumsy Have you reached out to Magna Carta for help?
@@TumescentPuma Let’s say my customer service experience was less than expected . I don’t want to bash. I understand there can be human error in production. So it will be easier for me to just spend the $ to have it fixed in the States. I would rather deal with it that way, than the stressors of it getting lost overseas.
@@plannermumsy Sorry to hear Magna Carta refused to stand behind their products. Pen enthusiasts should know this and buy from a reputable seller that will take the pen back for issues.
I went to the Pen Show on Friday. It’s definitely not as crowded as a Saturday. Wow!!! You purchased some really beautiful pens. Love love the lavender pen holder!!! I’m waiting for the Nodal from Mayfair to be made. I love the shape of his pens, they’re different. Thank you for sharing your haul and especially thanks for the videos with the interviews of the pen makers. Everyone was super nice.
@@darlenewashington9570 Glad you were able to go to the show. It’s a fun experience indeed. You are going to love that pen from Mayfair, it’s so pretty! Thanks for watching and helping out my channel by commenting 💜
I understand what you meant in the video. I avoid crowded places, too. I am glad people were so warm and friendly; that definitely helped. The vendor was so sweet, giving him a good discount; the pen is gorgeous! Wow! All your pens are stunning! Love the colors!
@@cheesim It certainly can be difficult to navigate events like this but it ended up being a wonderful experience. Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching!
Good for you. It’s your account, your channel, and your choice. Don’t compromise yourself, applaud yourself.
@@kathiwilson4082 Thank you. It was a difficult decision but ultimately I am still glad I did it!
This was tempting me. I was wondering if you were gonna get this one.
@@talksfromtheheart It’s a gorgeous pen indeed 💜
Heather!! I feel so special for being mentioned by you!! Thank you, my friend 🙏❤ It was more than a pleasure to suggest talking to Bert at Bertram's Inkwell. And for the record, I don't think that wanting a beautiful pen whose body isn't all muddy looking is being picky. Especially when the brand offers 'sneak-peek' pictures & reels of the beautiful pens that are soon to be released. I am happy that you were able to get the Estie of your (Sweet) Dreams! {Buh-dum-tiiinngggg 🔔} 😉😂
@@Claudia_CG_Garza Well I appreciated your help! It’s great having pen friends💜
Thanks for sharing! I had a blast!

how fun, thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot, I especially enjoyed the stories. 🙂
Great job!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Get the english version?
@@Ritz7866 Still wasted space with quotes I don’t prefer🤷🏻♀️
Thank you so much for sharing. I watched both of your videos. I know you did not ask for feedback, but I just wanted to mention that it is so refreshing to find a video that is so natural and organic as opposed to the plethora of 'cookie-cutter' videos out there. I am glad that you learned a lot but I hope that you don't change too much because you are exactly what we need
That’s super sweet! Thank you. For me it’s more of the audio issues I learned from. I know now how to make it easier for the person being interviewed which is important for the audience. I learned so much from these interviews. Hearing about people’s passions is inspiring 💜 Thanks for watching!
I bought both for 2024. I ended up selling the Journey planner. The only thing that I did not like the dates on the back pages.
I bought a pen from Jonathan Brooks at the show and I love it!
@@jhpyle2 I may or may not have😂shhhh that’s the next video,lol.
Thanks for sharing all these pen makers !! No one really interviews these marvelous makers much!! I am slowly going down that bespoke or custom made pen rabbit hole this year… hahaha
@@tfjarvisgirl I personally love to try my best to help small businesses. I know every little bit helps them, so this was definitely an enjoyable video to create💜
Jonathan🙌🏽💜💙🩵🙌🏽 Loving all these questions and artisans 🎉 You did an excellent job! Thank you 🙏🏽

@@amberwhite6086 I know right!
Great questions, and I'm so glad you featured small makers! If I ever get to a Pen Show, I think they would be the booths I would seek out! I want my Pen Collection to have variety and pens that most people don't have!
@@marachristian8726 I loved spotlighting the smaller makers. It was super fun to do!
When I heard your opening music I thought this was JG3 reviews. Good video.
Thank you!
This was my first pen show! I went and left so fast and now my memory is blurred 😂 Thanks for showcasing the makers, I will definitely check out their websites!
You are so welcome!
Great video. I loved the personal interview. Thoroughly impressed with motor city pen. That young man will probably go far. I’m still watching so I hope you interview DarillPens before it ends. He’s a cool guy and his sing for a pen concept is cool
I did get to interview him but my camera and my audio messed up🤦🏻♀️ I am hoping to fix it and post a part 2 video.
