I enjoy hearing your insights on what you like and dislike about your various planners. Your videos do a good job of explaining to us why you are experimenting with different things. I am also trying to figure out the optimal planning setup, and it helps me sort out my own thoughts.
Thank you for watching the video and leaving message. I had a serious planner chaos in June, but this simplifying challenge has been a great chance to see what’s really important for me!
Don’t stress yourself. Calm down, think through what you want. You are supposed to enjoy the whole process. Take care!
Thank you so much for your kind word. Yes, I keep reminding myself that it's my hobby so I should just take it easy and enjoy :)
Which one did you buy from AnalogAlicia to fit in the TN? TIA
So I downloaded in Personal size. When printing on A4 paper, I just hit "fit to the paper". This is because the height of TN standard is same as A4! I've tried two templates but so far so good!
Oh I’m missing using my tns - they have neglected in my ring planner exploration… now I want to make inserts too… I think diy inserts means we can make any style we want!
I'm also on the same boat and that is why I decided to try 30 days challenge with TN (video is coming up next week!). Making TN insert is new experiment for me, however, I also noticed it's not that easy and flexible like rings with my limited printing skill.
@@minimalish.journal Making planner inserts with dates and such is more difficult but if you just make blank or creative journaling kind of inserts it’s more forgiving of course! I wish you luck in your challenge!
Wow~~~Your video is really healing and relaxing!😘
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! Sometimes I worry about the background noise of kids running around, but "healing and relaxing" phrase made my day!
I have a 5 yen coin on my TN, too. It is from the year that my husband and I met in Japan, Heisei 5 (1993) We were English teachers in Mito. That's 31 years ago! Thank you for sharing , especially your Reflections journal.
Thanks for sharing about the beautiful story of your 5 yen coin!! And it's so interesting that you've met each other in Japan. Reflection journal is something I started this year, and I'm hoping using the nice notebook will motivate me and keep me on track.
This is making me want to have a passport, lol. I didn’t get this because I thought it’s top small but now I’m having secong thoughts. 😅
Yes, to be honest TN passport size is quite tiny and it's not so functional for me. But I wanted to use it so badly (too cute to sit on the shelf) so I'm not using it as my wallet! Also, it's nice to have one notebook that I can scribble anything.
I just found your channel and I am so happy I did. I am binge watching your videos. Waving from the Philippines 😊.
Thank you for stopping by & leaving comments! So nice to connect with all the stationery lovers across the globe:)
I stumbled upon your channel today when I was doing my Watch later list. I am so glad I stopped and clicked on your video. Thank you for sharing your insight to the japanese currency. I think that's cool that you found 1 with your birth year. When I traveled year as a child and then a teenager anytime we got change back we would look through the coins to see if we could find our birth year and keep those for a keep sake. More videos from your channel. I just subscribe..
Thanks for the lovely comment! Your message reminded me that I also used to keep the leftover small coins, all the different currency mixed up in one jar. It's a bit sad that we are using less and less of physical money in that sense.
I have loved this notebook for some time but it is quite expensive to get in/to UK. I appreciate that I can enjoy the notebook through your use of it. Loved your setup and glad to hear you are going with what works for you. I was very excited to see another video from you. It was cute to hear children having fun in the background, life is real, pretending otherwise will only make it harder to find time for joy. Thank you for another great video. 🙏🏽🙌🏾💖🫶🏽
Yes, TN is a bit pricey notebook option but my previous one is still nice after 10 years. Considering it's durability, I decided to get my second one which I'm committed to use for the next decade! Thank you for your generous comments on the background noise. It can be a bit disturbing to watch my video, but if I wait for a quiet day at home, I can never film anything, so I decided to document my real life ;)
@@minimalish.journal yes I have to admit I have a few TC TNs for different purposes. I’m sure I will get the Kyoto edition as soon as I find a good deal. In the mean time I can enjoy it through you. For me real life is always better. I try to live by, if I can do it now, I should do it now. I live by myself but sometimes too tired to do anything due to fatigue and disability so if I feel like, I can do this now or even try now I seize the moment because later might not come. Thank you for keeping it real and relatable. ☺️🙏🏽
Ah, so you also have TN! Would love to hear how you use them for different purpose. Now that I have 2nd one, I'm also trying to figure out how to use old one (brown cover) and this Kyoto one at the same time, because I want to use all of them ;)
Love your reflections insert - what a cool idea!
Thanks! It's a great way to use my gorgeous Kyoto edition notebook.
Hi there, i know the feeling. I don’t want to carry that big planner. I will go back to using the mini travelers notebook again. I also had to smile because I heard you saying again the way I do. I love your channel even though I just found you. I am now going to binge watch your channel lol .
Thank you for stopping by! Sometimes downsizing planner can give you the answer, so I hope you are enjoying TNP!
Your videos are so warm and homey 😁
Ah, thank you for your message! This video was actually taken at my old room in my parent's house so it must have had "homey" vibe ;)
Very neat system.
Thanks! Trying to keep things minimalish!
Love this as a simple travel journal!
Thanks! I noticed as much as I love watching beautiful travel journals, realistically speaking, I need to keep mine minimal.
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
I loved hearing how you didn’t put pressure on yourself to back log and giving yourself the flexibility to use your Hon for however and whatever you needed it for. Thank you for the inspirational to be kinder to myself. Varsha 🙏🏽🙌🏾
Thanks for leaving a comment! Yes, the pressure & perfectionism of back logging evokes journaling fatigue, so let’s be flexible!
It was so lovely going down Stationery Memory Lane with you. I have just subscribed as this your second video I am watching, you have a lovely voice and I enjoy hearing the joy and excitement in your voice when talking about the stationery you have enjoyed over time. I have enjoyed stationery from when I was a school girl and can hear that same excitement in your voice. Your Traveler’s plastic wallet has held out well, I have seen others that have fallen apart in a few years but I guess that may be due to less use. You could use it as temporary sticker storage or as a cover page that create to express your joy of the trip. I love your Hobonichi A5 cover I hope they bring that one back. I am an A5 journaler as I write a lot in the daily pages and sometimes have to tip-in extra pages to continue writing. I also really enjoyed seeing the 2014 Travelers Regular size Boarding Pass writing board, I image it must bring back some happy memories when you see it. I think I will search that one out for myself as I have the new blue Travelers Airline regular notebook cover. You have a lovely Washi tape collection and I love that stationery is a hobby you share with your mum. My thing with my mum is fresh Indian vegetable shopping or food shopping - we like to eat healthy 😛. If you ever decide you want a penpal from London do message me about it. Looking forward to more of your videos and thank you for sharing what makes you happy and your old closet discoveries from home. Varsha🥰🙏🏽✍🏾
Hi, thank you for watching the video & leaving a comment. It looks like we both share the same passion for stationeries since we are little! I am also A5 notebook fan and I have an undated simple notebook specifically for journaling. Although, I'm eyeing on upgrading my Hobonichi A6 HON into A5 next year...! Let's see.
Thank you for sharing. I went to the same coffee bean shop too! Bought two bags of bean, love them!
It was a nice spot to visit! Interesting beans from all over the world!
I loved your video 😊
Thank you so much for your lovely comment!
Love your authentic journaling reflections. TYFS! ❣️✨
Thanks for watching. It's interesting how I haven't changed much in 10 years, and I can truly say this is my passion!
Thank you for sharing! I need to go to Japan for TN! The Kyoto edition one is so beautiful! :)
Thanks for watching! Yes, I truly love the Kyoto edition so much that I've been playing with it all day long.
Waaaait whaaaat there is traveler’s store in Kyoto? 😮 how did I miss that 😂 I was in two stores in Tokyo but from some reason didn’t find the one in Kyoto. Now I have to get back 😂
Yes! There is one in Kyoto and they even have multiple Kyoto limited items. Sorry that you missed it but it will be a great excuse to go back to Japan soon ;)
Looks like your trip is wonderful!
Yes it was. The weather was perfect in Japan around this season!
I use my address book as a file... i keep small notes in each box..addresses, phone numbers, child 1 clothing size, vets name and address and meds the dog takes. Its kinda like a very small concise tickle file.
Thank you foe sharing interesting idea. I will look it up again and see what kind of info I can put there to utilise them!
I loved seeing your trip to and purchases from the Traveler's Company in Kyoto! The Kyoto notebook looks beautiful with the rose gold accents. Gorgeous! I have a blue regular-sized notebook and think it has a more sophisticated look than my olive version. I am thinking of getting a passport sized notebook, in camel, for my summer travel. Thank you for sharing! I hope you enjoy your new notebook and inserts!
Thank you so much for the comment! Yes, I do think blue cover looks sophisticated & elegant. I cannot wait to see how it ages with me. I'm excited for you about getting passport size. I'm sharing multiple video on how I'm travel journaling in my TN passport, so hope they motivate you before your summer travel starts!
Just came across your channel, love your sharing!
Thank you so much for stopping by & dropping comment!
I really like your common place set up for capturing information. Thank you for sharing your planner ☺️
I also love combining a planner + notebook! Hope it gave you some inspiration!
Thanks for sharing! For the wellness log what are the 3 boxes for? Is it for how you feel from good to not good? I am interested and want to make one for myself .
Yes, I'm scaling my body and mind status by not good / OK/ good. 3 was very enough for me!
Such a simple and clean setup. Thank you for sharing! <3
Thanks for the comment! I'm new to this system so trying to keep it simple for now.
I’m excited to hear how you get on with your new ring planner. I’m transitioning into them slowly- replacing notebooks and journals as I finish the bound ones. I will finish my Cousin though. I just found your channel- I’m really enjoy your content!❤
Thank you for finding my channel! It’s been a month since I started using Filofax, and I’m really enjoying it so much! Great idea that you are moving slowly rather than jumping all in!
the water damage in 2020 and 2021 really represent the covid years
I have never thought about it that way, but true...!
Have you tried the A6 Hobonichi before? Maybe that would suit you better and it's so small and cute. Perfect to carry around. :)
Hey, thank you for the suggestion and yes, I am actually using Hobonichi A6 Hon this year and loving the size so much!! Current set-up video is now under making!
@@minimalish.journal I am so happy you have found love in it! <3
