I think its based on preference, when I started this notebook - for me - it was a two part experiment - One to see if id like to bujo my own layout and two if id like the size Also there were no planners in the market in B5 so i went the bujo route. Considering if there were planners, id prefer to get the planner with pre-made layouts. If you think ull be using up more than one notebook or would like to use the calendar separately- go for it, for me .. I like a good all-in-one xx

Im very excited for all the horizontal options myself! Its going to be a very settled and exciting year 😊

@@ModPlans Cheers to that! 😊

Iv never actually come across someone who doesn’t like the common planner yet - but no, the reason i went to a common planner was because it suits my needs to have undated notes pages at the back than dated daily pages. Sterlingink has actually improved a lot of things I personally didnt like about hobonichis, their sanzen paper for example. Most my pens are bleeding through the new hobonichi paper and they dont bleed through the new planners in the market, including the common planner or the paper tess planner. But of course i hope you’re happy using the cousin 😊

Thank you Vanessa ❤

You are welcome! Im having a lot of fun with it ❤

Thank you! Yes I use a dot zig marker (thicker end) to make my headers, i found that a dot marker is darker than tombows and writes cleaner - yes its trp paper 😊

Yess the paper tess design planner has a very white crisp trp paper!

Sorry to hear that! Will try better next time 🙃

You are welcome! My personal wide inserts were all digital printables and i used to print cut them myself. Once the planner is set up - the process gets easier, this is one of the reasons why I later on switched to a personal because shops carry that size more but i believe some well known shops now do offer personal wide as well! Carrying this planner wasnt heavy especially if you are using a medium size bag, im used to carrying an A5 now!

@@ModPlans Thank you ever so much

Thank you so much!

Thank you Donna! Ure always so kind! Im glad im sticking to something!

@@ModPlans It feels good doesn't it. I would rather one but I love both my bujo and Cousin and I've been in them for over a year now.

@@ModPlans

I use Sarasa dry 0.5 - its my favorite! And i used a black dit zig marker for my headers

Yes! I have 5 covers at the moment - but I have tried a lot of them over the years - will talk about them and show in my next video 😊

Hi there! Thank you so much! I actually just have a black tote bag with pouches - nothing fancy 😅 let me know if you have any questions tho!

You are welcome! The planner is working out so great for me I hope to share it regularly 😊

🎉 thank you!

It absolutely makes sense! By using all the planner, which planner am I gona hop to 😂😂😂

You are welcome Donna ❤ Glad to know that so many of my favourite planners are using the Hon

A5 croc was a Gillio 😊 but you can try moterms or even the buy and sell groups on facebook to snag one!

Hi! Yes its a Giramondo from Gillio Firenze which is the standard size or midori size thank you!

Sorry for such a late response! And thank you! The weeks cover is from whp design on etsy, a very affordable cover!

@@ModPlans thank you!

Thank you lovely!! Im sure ill enjoy it much!

Changing it again soon 😬

It was fun!! Thank you!

Thank you!! The charms are honestly from a bracelet I bought years ago 😂 there was a time i was able to use anything for planner stuff!

Im sorry this is too fast for you, but I liked how I put this video together and even how much it covered in a short amount of time thanks to the speed. I felt it was going to be boring otherwise and just wanted to give an idea about how i put it together - not actually take everyone through the entire process. Peace x

Its one of my favorite setups ever! Even if im not using it - its usually around 😅

Thank you!! The VDS does seem narrower yes! For the leather - yes to soft and pliable but very different from Gillios epoca / its not butter but its mayte and goes to extremely shiny once patina’d. I think it’s beautiful!!

Its from a shop called Daiso - they have outlets worldwide, I have used Daiso copy A4 paper but you can also buy tomoe river paper (loose sheets on Amazon instead too)

It is! 🎉

Glad you think so!

Thank you! Will do!

Hi! You can buy weeks from the hobonichi store or I would recommend amazon mainly - the green one is from 2022 so you wont get the same color now, they are coming in red and navy blue for the sneaker weeks: www.1101.com/store/techo/en/

Thank you!! Both are amazing planners and have wonderful characteristics! Comes down to preferences! Excited to see what everyone is using next yr

Thats awesome! So glad that i could help in some way! I absolutely love the Hobonichi cousin because of the space and the paper. I would recommend really making the planner your own by customising it to your liking!

Mostly a sarasa dry 0.5 ! Its a nice thick black and comes out beautifully on TRP paper

Thank you!! The last pocket planner is from takahashishoten.co.jp brand called Takahashi Shoten and I got it from Kinokuniya in Dubai - outlets available all over the world .. or try amazon Japan!

Sojourner USA in the Enoch leather

Its a speckled fawns Bora bora - its beautiful! Its in personal size and she has some ready to ship ones available but you can also get it custom made like i want to do in A5

Ure very welcome 🙂 glad it helped and do share details soon !

Thank you Donna! Ure always too kind!

So happy you found this helpful! 🥳

Same here

So glad!

Its from filoplanner on instagram or allieryaz.com

For me, the weeks only doesnt work most of the times because its a supplemental as an edc but not my main planner and I dont like putting down important information in there since it should essentially go in my A5 - theres some sort of balance I need to maintain to make them both work. Eventually iv thought that ill use the weeks as a note taker / scheduler but not put actual to do lists on there or plans.

Ure welcome 😀

Thank you Samantha 🙂💕
