Actually the DIN norms for the paper sizes in A or B line originate in Germany. The clue for both is, you can go up or down a size by folding or doubleing a paper within these lines (A4 is double the size of A5, B5 is double the size of B6... the B sizes fall inbetween the A sizes). Sorry for the lengthy unasked for infos 😊. GREAT video!
I saw a good diagram showing this once with an A1 full size sheet, half of that was A2, half of A2 was A3 and so on. good visual. I need to explore the B sizes more but it helped me to have the visual. I'm a visual person I guess
@@recoveringsoul755 The B sizes work exactoy the same and are in sizes between the A sizes (B5 is inbetween A4 and A5) The other clue to these A and B sizes is: each time you fold them in half the keep their original aspect ratio. Very neet.
I’ve been using the stalogy b6 this year as a substitute for the hobonichi and I love everything about it. this is the only notebook so far where I haven’t given up on in 3 months upon using it. Definitely using it in the long run for daily logging!
That's awesome! I have been having the same experience, before the stalogy I would never commit to a notebook for more than a couple months. The stalogy is so so awesome for big list makers and daily loggers who use a lot of pages!
Thank you Freda! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, I've used all sizes of Stalogy notebooks (except b5) for quite a while so if there's anything else you'd like to know I'd be happy to help as much as I can!
I think its hard to decide till you try it. I started with an a6, needed more room got the a5 needed less room got the B6. Love the B6 and the paper type is amazing. It got really bulky and I cut it in half and recovered lol. They hold up to a lot.
I agree, unless you already know what size notebook works for you, trying out some different sizes would definitely help. When I was first getting into stalogy notebooks and didn't want to buy three sizes at once, I remember printing out pages that were the same size as the paper (a6, b6, a5) so I could see if the paper was a size I was comfortable with!
I switched to a B6 this year for my planner and I love it!!!! It's the only notebook that I have stayed in for so long. I also know that I will be able to get the whole year in there. Thanks (Lindsey Scribbles) for the weekly page ideas and thank you Bandit and Cass for the comparison and the nice video.
Good to know thank you for mentioning that Dre! I've heard many good things about the Nanami notebooks but never tried one personally, but I am with you on soft cover notebooks with tons of pages. I like to be in my notebooks for a while!
Thank you so much Michelle! That really means a lot, videography is something that I’m really trying to improve on and learn so I really appreciate the feedback!
What a comprehensive review! It was very helpful. I have to really think about what and how I plan to use it for. I want to use it for notes but not sure if I really need that much space if it’s an A5 so the B6 sound perfect too. Decisions!
Thank you so much, I'm so glad to hear that! haha yes, that is tricky, I'm a bit partial to b6 as it's perfect for portability and has lots of writing space for me, but perhaps if you want lots of room or your handwriting is bigger A5 may be a better fit!
Thank you for this video! I just ordered one (b6) after debating for a couple weeks. And a fancy handmade cover... I want to get into fountain pens, fancy cursive, and having a journal I can take with me out in the world. The large b5 notebook is about the size of a composition book and would be great for academic notes if I was a student. I'm happy to see the page color comparison, I love that it is a creamier white.
Thank YOU for watching Carinna! You're right, a composition notebook would be a similar size to B5, that's a great reference! I agree, the stalogy is very white but its definitely a softer hue which my sensitive eyeballs appreciate 😄
I use a sheet of plotting paper in my notebook. It doubles as a page maker and helps as in I can close the book emidiatly after writing without having to wait for the ink to dry. 😊
Thank you I was wondering about these Stalogy things, I keep hearing about them. Not something I've seen in a store, but haven't been shopping in quite some time, over a year. And especially thank you for mentioning the number of pages and *COST PER PAGE* omg why does nobody talk about that? You're my kind of analyzer. (I've even been known to not only calculate how many miles per gallon I'm getting, but worked out a spreadsheet where I could also calculate how far my car would travel on one penny of gasoline in feet). Yes I'm weird. But how else can you compare apples to apples without cost per page, or at the grocery store price per ounce and so on? sometimes the biggest size is more expensive than a smaller size, by a LOT. I might get that from a math class I took in high school. We had an assignment in Geometry class to go to a local pizza place and figure out what size of pizza was the cheapest. I just looked at plain cheese pizza, and it turned out that Medium was cheapest, by square inches. I was surprised, but maybe it's because more people order that size so they have more of those crusts made up ahead of time? I didn't do it for every combination let's not go crazy here.
You're welcome! I will mention that cost per page isn't a fully accurate comparison, since part of the cost is the cover/manufacturing etc, but its a nice rough estimate that I like to do!
I just got an a6 stalogy to use as a bujo planner/journal for the rest of 2020! I love the portability of that size and I have really small handwriting so it works out great for me! I also don’t really have much going on and I use a digital planner as well sometimes. It’s nice, but I miss the feeling of creating in an analog way..
The a6 is truly a beauty when it comes to carrying it around, I love how it *literally* fits in your back pocket. I hear you with the decrease in things happening, but I think its awesome that your optimizing your organization system and adapting!
I have the b5. I ❤️💕❤️ it. I ordered a leather jacket for it, which is due to be delivered on Tuesday (April 25). I’m excited for that, too. You made a really nice video here. No word whiskers while grasping for your next thought…umm. Ah😂. Keep up the good work 😊
I have the B6 and the A5, and if the A5 were in the 5mm grid instead of the 4mm, it would be perfect! Looking for a reason to add the A6 to my collection 😂This is a lovely review!
Hahaha yes, one millimetre can make a big difference! Well I if you’re looking for ideas, I love using my A6 as a reading journal but I think it would also be a great travel journal. Oh and thank you so much Hanna, it’s always so nice catching up with you in the comments 💕
I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you so much! I've tried the Hobonichi and found that the dry time for gel pens is much faster on the Stalogy paper which I love 😍
The A5 is my favorite so far, mostly because I prefer the smaller grid size. Stalogy is my favorite notebook. I love the soft white paper with the pale grid.
I love this video, I haven't tried a Stalogy yet and am adding some to my Christmas wish list. Love the testing between notebooks and that you clarified ghosting and bleeding. I often hear "bleeding" for people describing "ghosting". Thank you! Just a clarification for other US people watching or listening (I had turned my back so I didn't see the on-screen display - at first) $0.07 and $0.08 are referenced as you said in cents. However, the Archer and Olive threw me off when you said $0.2 cents. The written form is $0.20 and stated as "twenty cents". I'm not picking I love the video, I'm just saying it In case anyone had to do a double-take and rewind as I did. Now, I'm off to watch the first part of this followed by the B6 journal set up video. :) Thank you!
Hey Diane, thank you so much for the kind words and also the clarification! I can totally understand how that would be confusing so thank you for pointing that out so politely 💕
@@catnipstudio wait a minute, I think I might have given you the wrong cover name, sorry thats my bad! The smallest cover in this video was the Tom journal by the company Graphic image! So sorry about that mix up, clearly I have enough journal covers hahaha
I've been journaling in an A6 for the past month and have been enjoying it. I purchased a Stalogy from amazon and it, for some reason, smelled terrible. I've got it sitting with baking soda at the moment. Hoping it will just smell like paper, otherwise, I'll have to replace it. But I'm looking forward to testing it out.
@@KaitlinGrey Both had the smell. I have no idea why. I'm not sure if it was stored somewhere, and it developed a scent or if it is the glue that was used on it? No clue. I'm just hoping the baking soda will help make it smell better.
@@InsideKimmysMind Whoa that is definitely not normal, I'm so sorry that it was sent to you like that! I'm crossing my fingers that the baking soda works 💕
I have always wanted to try a Stalogy but never caved. So just a few weeks ago, I received a 1/2 year Stalogy in a subscription box. So without spending extra $$ I will find out about them now!! I saw the 1/2 year Stalogy on Amazon.
Thank you!!! I'm on my third notebook this year because I have to have ONE notebook where everything goes (planning, journaling, memories, notes). I've been looking for one to last the whole year and @lindseyscribbles almost convinced me the hobonichi weeks mega was the answer but I didn't want to get sick of the layouts. Your review sold me on the stalogy (although nervous about the paper). Could you share how many squares are on the A5 vs the B6? I'm not sure which size to get, I'm thinking my yearly trackers won't fit a B6 spread but also that the smaller grid on the A5 will leave me with too much room to spare.
You’re so welcome! Unfortunately I don’t have access to my notebooks rn bc I’m travelling and I don’t know the number off the top of my head, BUT I do remember that the b6 just barely had room for 31 days but not much else. The A5 is definitely big enough to fit the trackers bc it has a smaller grid!
A stalogy is a type of notebook brand, just like archer and olive or moleskine! So the only difference is my bullet journal (the system) is kept within my stalogy (my notebook), does that make sense?!
@@trenitymeridith2064 Well if your considering using one for bullet journaling I’d suggest watching some review videos to make sure you’ll like using the notebook and then for bullet journaling there’s tons of videos but I’d recommend starting with the ‘start here’ video on the bullet journal CZcams channel!
I need you to know that I watched this with closed captioning on and it used a different word/words every time you said stalogy. I watched some other people's stalogy videos too and I haven't seen CZcams get it right once yet. Lol
Hmmm, well it changes daily haha, but right now I'm really enjoying the 120 gsm Leuchtturm 1917 notebook and I also really like the Archer and Olive for thicker paper! Oh and in terms of thin paper the stalogy is awesome and they just came out with a dot grid versions which is super cool.
I've also seen people using Hobonichi and they have thin paper but the one person I've been watching uses watercolor in theirs so I guess the paper is coated to be able to handle that kind of thing. The 5 year version might be good to track a long term project, in my case, a lawsuit
Hi there... Can you tell me what you do for reference pages and collections? I’ve been planning in the B6 for 7 months and deciding whether I should try an A5 1/2 year I just purchased. I might set it up like a hobonichi cousin.
Hey Jackie, so I find what works best for me is to keep the majority of my collections in my b6 Stalogy (which is my bullet journal). However, some types of notes, such as my notes on books I read, as well as recipes I keep in separate locations (another stalogy and a recipe box) since I take a lot of these types of notes and if I kept them in one place they would fill up my bujo too quickly. I do know of a couple of people who like to use a separate notebook just for notes and collections so they can keep their planning pages separate, I think choosing one or the other depends on what you feel would make most sense to your brain.
Bandit and Cass Okay, thanks! I was thinking about info that I don’t want to re-write each time I finish a planner. I started a commonplace book for the quotes and book notes. I guess the big thing is to really decide and commit to a purpose for each book. I’ve had one planner a year since high school plus a faith journal, homeschool planner and house reference. Now I’m entering this bujo, tn and multiple planner world. It’s so fun and overwhelming at the same time. ❤️❤️
Oh yes, it can be equally exciting as it is overwhelming! I found it took a lot of experimenting to figure out how many things I can keep in separate notebooks without my system becoming too complex or overwhelming! I've heard of the commonplace book and it seems like a really cool idea, it makes a lot of sense to me!
Hmmm, I don't know of a direct substitute, the closest thing I can think of is the B6+ Soft Cover notebook by Leuchtterm 1917 but it doesn't have as many pages as the stalogy.
@@KaitlinGrey does the stayology make a .grid? I've tried using it before and I loved it until I tried drawing out my monthly calendar. Lol I just couldn't figure out my spacing. I'm in a letchurm 1917 but its sooo thin. I just ordered a b6 from makers south and I need to fill it w something for my bullet journal. Probably will end up going w a Stayology again

I'm in a letchurm 1917 but its sooo thin. I just ordered a b6 from makers south and I need to fill it w something for my bullet journal. Probably will end up going w a Stayology again
Thank you for the comparison, just a small heads-up: it is LeuchttUrm, not LeuchttErm :-) Greetings from Germany, where those are made :-)
Good to know, thank you!
your sound is super low
Good review but the vocal fry is killing me.
I hear you, I'm doing my best with what I have but I agree, it isn't great. I hope you still found the video helpful!
What a gracious response to such a rude comment!
@@mmlr1983 I don't even hear it! If it is there, it's not that bad to leave a comment like that. 🤷♀️
