Out of ALL of your videos that I have watched, I can’t tell you how much I genuinely appreciate these. Your struggle is such a real struggle for so many of us, namely me; that you give me hope. You are shining light where darkness can’t stay! Great job Sam! For recognizing that just because you want something and you have the money to get it doesn’t necessarily mean you should AND great job for your weight loss journey. ❤
Thank you SO MUCH!! You have no idea how much it helps ME to hear that me sharing helps YOU! It’s hard to share these things, facing criticism and being vulnerable. But comments like this keep me going. 💕
Not long ago, I was out and about and had nothing to write on! I found a couple of pieces of printer paper in the car that had old work stuff on one side, folded them into fourths (clean side out) and used those for the next couple of days. Believe it or not, it was fun and freeing to write on those old papers - sort of like making "books" when I was a kid! I transferred the important stuff into my regular notebook, but now I plan to have a couple of folded pieces of paper with me all the time, just for fun.
Yes! I was scrolling Timehop this week and saw a photo of chores on index cards, I used to do that all the time, just keeping a simple monthly notebook on me.
I’m having a new me 2024, too. I lost 45+ pounds since March. I’m weighing once a week so it could be more. (Scale needs a battery and reset)
Paid off all credit cards except Amazon. That’s next.
Big goals: declutter, track all spending, live simply/minimally, meal plan real food, drink water, sleep, read more, and reduce screen time.
What was the catalyst for your big change?
Currently watching, so I haven't finished the video yet, but I just wanted to say that yours are videos I always click on so fast as soon as I see you've posted! I'm also glad I'm not the only one who calls them "planner woes!" 😄
Thank you so much. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Wow so I seriously thought it was just me connecting my Peri-menopause and planner unhappiness/weirdness. I’m not alone!!! And whew that feels great! Thank you so much for sharing!!
You aren’t alone for sure.
Yes, rings is the ultimate diy planner that always works!😂😂😂
P.S. And is free in the long run 😅😅😅😅
So true!! ❤
Yes!! It really always does!!
As much as it hurts me to hear of your struggle, it’s also a comfort to know I am not alone. I currently am in 4, yes 4 planners, none of which I am feeling content in. I am constantly having internal conversations/struggles with the “why” it’s working/not working. Thank you for sharing and I wish you continued strength.
I hope you get it figured out quickly. It’s not a fun place to be. I’m rooting for you!
Proud of you for working through the struggle and using what you had on hand! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
No buy is hard but so worth it for the growth, props for processing it and getting to the other side even though its 'only' $20 you now have that extra, it all counts.
Yes, thank you!!
Rings are such a great option!! 🎉
Always always.
I completely understand your struggle. I set out the rule for myself that once I start in a planner/bullet journal I have to finish with the book before switching. I have been doing this since 2017, the last time I changed mid way through a planner. It means that even though I have a stalogy waiting to be my next bujo, I am finishing the book I am currently using. No buys are never easy!
I’m so happy for you for reaching your goals - and for resisting the urge to buy a new planner! In the long run it really wouldn’t matter, but the hit to your inner self esteem is not worth it❤️❤️ Stay strong - think of new planner supplies as toxic sugar molecules 😉
Love that!!
We’re on Season 4 of Blacklist…it is a great show so far….thanks for the plug for that show!
YAY You!!! for pausing and really thinking through what you wanted to [re]buy for your Personal rings & realizing that that purchase, even if you used Amazon $$ & decided to _not_ classify it as a "purchase" might not work for you in the end (some issues solved, but still some aspects that you would not be happy with).
I totally get you re hand-drawn calendars. A few years ago, I had a "bujo-esque" Field Notes Brand ® sized planner system. I knew that some months I might get the monthly planner & tracker done in time, but other months I'd get nothing done for a couple of weeks until I got around to making the monthly calendar & tracker. For me, it was easier to make monthly calendars & trackers (make the calendar or tracker in Apple's Numbers spreadsheet program, then copy and paste into a Pages document) and figure out the booklet layout, & print, cut, fold, & sew my own quarterly Field Notes sized booklets than to have to hand-draw calendars and trackers. (That system had the quarterly booklets I made, with a Field Notes Brand notebook for weekly & daily, plus another Field Notes Brand notebook for Notes & Lists. No cover, however.)
I also totally get you re sometimes there is something that, for whatever reason, just irritates about a certain planner, even a planner that you might have enjoyed using previously. And when there is an irritation -- something that just bugs you about a planner or insert, that can make it so that you just don't use your planner, which kinda defeats the purpose !! For me, I had very happily used a Jibun Techo - the A5 slim colorful version - for a year, and re-ordered one for the next year. Well, Jibun Techo did a MAJOR revamp -- changing the fonts used, changing the sizes of the fonts (many things smaller and I've got aging eyes here), changing from English M T W etc to Japanese characters, changing to a slightly heavier paper (but it seemed like the binding machines weren't calibrated for the heavier paper & the sewing was just a hair to tight to allow pages to lay flat the way the previous year's book had). All those changes together made it so that I just didn't enjoy using the Jibun Techo anymore & I found myself not using it. So I wasn't planning. Which meant that I was getting basically nothing done. So, after only a couple of months, I bought a Hobonichi Weeks Mega & very happily used that for the rest of the year (and the next 2 years also)
I absolutely feel your crazy. The more I buy the more it stresses me out and the harder it is to decide how I want to plan. So I too am on a planner no spend! I am trying the KISS method. Keep It Simple Sue. Or Sam;)
I like it!!
Congratulations on sticking to your decisions. You should feel proud. 💚💚💚
Thank you!!
Any challenge is difficult, this one is an up on the scale of difficulty in a consumer based country! Good for you for making the effort towards not allowing the STUFF OF THE WORLD ALWAYS IN YOUR FACE AND VERY EASILY ACCESSIBLE to be so loud and always in control. But when you’re fighting yourself, remember it’s really not just you you’re fighting.. here ❤ sending you love
I really appreciate your candor, it’s hard when a system isn’t working, and I do try to shop my stash. I really thought I was set in my 2024 lineup, and while I am enjoying what I am using, I’ve limited myself in my journaling space, and when you like to write a lot, that makes it hard to stick to. I love all the things! 2024 may be a year where I have my main system and have fun using all the other sizes and setups, as long as I know everything is documented, I’ll be free to try other systems. Mostly I can shop my stash, I’m on a low buy, and it should work well. Maybe! LOL 😂❤. Congrats on the weight loss success, I’m working on mine this year!
Thank you for sharing, I hope you have a successful low buy and an amazing weight loss journey!
I love this set up! If a page format isn’t working, you can fix or replace it using freebies. The pocket notebook being spiral is key for having control, too, because you can tear out pages. The daily for journaling is roomy, while your EDC is light and compact. And your Weeks is still there for when your nostalgia for it returns. I agree with you about the $3 monthly cost; it’s just a subscription that adds up to less money than you spent in the fall getting ready for 2024. It’s much like replacing the pocket notebook when it’s full. Go you!!
Thank you! I think this is a good system that allows for things to change as I get bored too!
I loved this! I just started a 30 day no spend and I went “shopping” for freebies after watching this and found some great ones.
I already failed on my low buy no buy. I honestly didn't realize how much planner shopping helps me to avoid my anxiety. Not deal with it but avoid it! I've bought transfer stickers, a new pen, and a new filofax pocket. What's hard for me is when I voice my concerns to my husband he looks at me like I'm being ridiculous for stressing over stationery and tells me to just buy whatever I want....who cares etc😅 he's like my stationery dealer or something. I don't blame him but having a partner that encourages me to buy all the things doesn't help my dopamine addiction. I'm probably coming off like a whining brat but the shopping struggle is real!
I'm the exact same way about a hand-drawn calendar. If I draw it, it's not "real" and I don't trust it. It's because the numbering and my other writing on the calendar is all the same, so it's just words and numbers, but it's not "officially" separated into dates and words lol.
Thank you so much for talking about Peri!! I didn’t even realize I was in it until recently and I’ve probably been in it for a while. I may have had my last cycle but not 100% sure yet 🙈
Mine is 2 months behind. I don’t have hot flashes, but I feel like I have so many other things. I just ordered some HRT cream that I hope will help. 🤞🏻
It is definitely tough. I should have a list of what I didn't buy but I'm afraid I will not have room...lol. At least so far I made half of a month without buying.
Go you!! I think it would be neat to see a list though, you should start one!
You know, that is a good idea. I should attach the price to it in order to see how much I saved...lol.@@samplans
I received the vds planner off bst and ive used all freebies to build it plus i resized a couple pocket size i had. I'm really excited. Your video keeps inspiring me thank you
Way to go for using freebies!
I loved this one. Awesome for overcoming that inner critic. I'm going to need to rewatch the rings flip portion as I really feel inspired to set up my pocket Malden for a wallet, and your well thought out sections plus insert pairings were chef's kiss!
oh man, that struggle was had here too but solved my crisis with using just one of my planners vs both and now back to 100% happy with only the stuff I have and no extra money spent on a planner I had fomo for but wouldn't ever work for my planner style.
Good for you! 👏🏻
Sam, thank you for your vulnerability in sharing your struggles with this fabulous planner hobby we all love! I too am challenging myself to not spend beyond what I've already spent on, to focus on my system and to also not indulge in consumerism and using spending as a means of "making something better." I think you briefly touched on it...but once I finally realized which size/system I love (personal rings), I found that creating inserts has really addressed my major issue with my own overspending. As much as I loved the adaptability/convenience of rings, I was feeling so boxed in regarding inserts and buying multiple different types because they weren't exactly what I wanted/needed. I thought creating inserts was going to be so much work & avoided it for so long...until I got onto Canva (free version) and watched 2 YT videos on making inserts. I have finally found peace & have cut down on spending! Best of luck on your journey & thank you again for sharing with us!
Congratulations on holding strong! The dopamine we get from impulsive purchases is truly a thing, and there is such a thing as going through withdrawal. But you are doing so well at figuring out how to get pass these “blocks” instead of giving in!
Hi Sam, I have been watching your videos for years most of the time I’m right with you on all this the frustration of it all but I have an idea for you to contemplate. Why don’t you sit down and construct not put it together or do whatever you want but why don’t you construct a planner that would actually work for you make it design it make your layout do whatever you want laying out the way you would like it and then see where that goes in a size that’s comfortable for you I think that could be quite a project and probably feel very good about yourself when you’re done I don’t know if you’ve tried to do this in the past I’ve never seen one of your videos that you’ve tried that, but design your own what you would like And see where it takes you. What do you think?
I think that I’m too afraid to fail. And I’m not kidding. It’s a real fear.
I’m back again! I have so many of the same issues that you have on top of which I am recovering from a severe accident and I am now homebound for an extended amount of time in pain and no vehicle to drive. Not my point here my point is don’t let fear get to you like that. Don’t tell anybody that you’re working on this project if you want to do it or decide to do it, so it won’t. You won’t be feeling anybody not even yourself because you can come up with new ideas while you’re doing what you’re doing to make it better for you I plan to hop but I don’t know it’s up through Amazon but I’m terrible and I love to spend, so I would love to see you try because I can relate to you so much and if you can do it, so can I and I’m in a time of my life that I don’t have much of anything going for me except my CZcamsr that I always watch you are one of them, of course But I think you can do it. You definitely have a way of knowing what you want make a list and then come up with an idea on how you can start. Keep me posted. I hope you go through with this at some point don’t let fear do this to you I’ve been living my life for 69 yearsand I have lived in fear for about 59 of those years. Don’t do that. Take a leap of faith for nobody but you I hope to hear from you soon.
Instead of tabs, color code with markers or colored pencils for certain topics or subjects. Then you can find what you need at your finger tips with minimal color. 💚💚💚
That’s a good!
You go, girl! You got this! It’s a hard journey to go through, but you’ve built up a lot of strength already through your weight loss journey, and that will really help you in this new challenge. 💪💙

The thing about hand-drawn calendars is so true!
A no buy for me feels like going through withdrawal symptoms. So crazy.
It’s very trying!
Great update. I found I use my Moleskine pocket daily (that I hadn't planned to use) in the same way you use your A5 one. I'm flipping between personal rings and the weeks. I'm still not really using my cousin but i am up to date with my Hobonichi 5 year A6. I just use my Moleskine daily notes to write something on the 5 year. I'm kinda content.
Yay rings! 🎉
And I love notebooks for dailies 🙂
I’m happy about it too!!
Hi Sam, I would totally love to try the Pocket Plus but in the end I don't want to spend on a new cover although I love yours. I already have FF Pocket in 3 versions/colors, so I don't NEED a new Planner. Use what you have, right? I still so much enjoy how you organize your pocket planners though, so I'm happy with this video. Over the years you've given me lots of ideas. Sometimes it's fun to go back to the olden days, before all the new jazz. Sometimes when I go through my stash I find some pages of trackers, decoration or something I used to like, and then I try them again in my current planner. I will call this lateral, I move laterally within my stash, but I don't look outward, as in buy new stuff, like you - unless I really need it, meaning my stash did not have it. I DID buy, don't get me wrong, but now I don't buy if at all possible, because once you have a pocket rings cover it's just inserts you need, and the fun is in moving or playing in the sections. Thanks again. Have fun. It's a beauty!
Yes! One of the great things about printables, especially undated, you can use again and again. Rings are the epitome of customization in a planner system!
Congratulations on hitting those goals, you definitely need to be proud of yourself!
Thank you!
Sam, very proud to hear how you are recycling your planner holders and printables.
I know you love to have a bit more room on certain days . Possible to just have a blank page in the rings. When finished writing for that one day, draw a line and then write below for the next day.?
.
Yahoo on your weight loss journey too.
Me and hubby have been on the fasting lifestyle since Nov '23 and I am down 10 pounds.
Thanks for your honesty in your videos.
Fasting is so very good for us!! Congratulations!
I appreciate this video! I was considering a purchase of a 5 year planner/journal from Hobonichi. This video is having me rethink this. I may still buy it down the line but I definitely don’t NEED it. I have been way too cavalier about buying things lately, and your video has me at least thinking about it. Do I have something that could be used in its place? Maybe…I will be going through some old planners that I did not complete to see if they could be used for that purpose. The idea of use what I have already is definitely something I should be doing. Thank you so much.
“Maybe I’m just crazy, and that okay too!” Girl SAME.
Hugs. ❤️
Your calendar looks great. You can draw mine for me anytime!
Thank you 🤓
Watching this and nodding along because I'm thinking I want a smaller edc and I've stopped myself twice from buying something in the last 24 hrs. Lol 😂 appreciate the honesty you are sharing on your journey.
Way to go for stopping yourself!
Soooo crazy, I wachted your video a few minutes and from the beginning I thought " she is talking about me"....thank you so much. So I'm not alone with my Monk in my head 😂
I love Monk!!
Your Spoke to list... When you finish the front Take the insert out and flip it then it is right side on the front and the used spoke to list upside down.
That’s the plan!
I loooove that Oli clip!!
Me too! It’s a few years old now.
I feel like a donation to a creator is reasonable. (Assuming you’ve given time to think it through etc.) Great video. Congrats on your success 💫
Oh man! Now I think I need a pocket rings! I like my hobo weeks but the ink situation is driving me nuts. I love the way the paper feels but hate my handwriting in it. It’s so hard to find planner peace.
Way to go on the weight loss Sam. It's so difficult. Keep up the fight!
Thank you!
I've would love to make inserts. Heck I can't figure out how to print them !! 😂
Aww. Once you get it, you get it. Except those two I can’t figure out with my new printer. 😂
What was the name of the freebies you liked? The one you used for your CZcams calendars?
They are from Nada Notes.
This was like listening to my own brain telling all its planner woes.
🫶🏻
I'm struggling this year. My issue is I want to have one planner that has my planning and my journal, and I insist on it being a B6, but I also need something to just scribble down brain dumps and to-do lists so I keep grabbing a second book and then I get upset with myself for having two books again. But if I mix the random notes in with the journal I hate how it looks. For my work planner I've already realized the weekly layout doesn't have enough space for my to-do's (my job changed literally the first week of the year) so I cut the spine off with a guillotine and spliced it together with blank pages from another planner on a coil so that I'll have enough room for what I need to write down. Maybe I need to do the same for the personal planner. Remove the extra pages, just use it as a planner, and get a plain B6 to be a freeform journal and live with the fact that I have 3 separate books. The real problem is I don't need a weekly layout. Maybe I should go back to an A6 daily with a companion monthly?????
I think the Pen & Gear notebooks at Walmart are $1.29. In Ky anyway.
Still cheap!
I really miss the black list! 😊
Such a good show!!
What personality test do you like to take ?
The ones that interest me the most are Enneagram and MBTI. There are so many, most not good for having good test results.
What multi-pen is that?
It’s a uni jestream.
