Be careful where you order your kamio stickers from. I tried searching for them, found a website that says they sold them. Went to place my order and more $1500 was taken out of my bank account 😭😭😭 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I called my bank and opened up a claim with them but they said it could take a couple weeks to process and because I told them “I placed the order” The lady on the phone was saying that they might not put the money back into my account since I should’ve know where I was ordering from. I know she said she was gate keeping, & she doesn’t have to add where she got anything from but that also kind of sucks because she’s an influencer and has a huge platform so she has to know it affects people
not to be dramatic, but I think your bog book changed my life. Lately I've been really interested in circus arts, cats, philosophy, and stationary. I'm just doing some stream of consciousness journaling and common placing in travelers inserts. I find myself not wanting to actually look at the pages when I flip through because of how disorganized it is. I think it would be really nice to have something for topics that come up a lot.
Megan - thank you SO MUCH for sharing your system, and for being so open and generous about yourself. You are an inspiration, not alonew. I have been trying to find a workable system for keeping track of things for myself without complicating my life uncessarily, and what your share here is just what I was looking for...thank you. :D
I went from a notebook (bullet journal x leuch. A5) to a custom ring planner and now I'm back to the good old notebook system. I didn't like how bulky the planner got, how pages wouldn't fit in the rings with time, and then I had to store loose pages in a file folder, they got everywhere, out of order, and it was all just too messy. I think I'll keep my ring planner as a memory planner, with photos and memorabilia. :(
This video is giving me hope to try out the hobonichi weeks again! The way I was using it didn't work for me, but this looks so much more streamlined!!
@@JacquelineJaxI’ve watched this video twice trying to figure it out lol So it’s sort of like journaling but you’re basically just doing it virtually then printing and archiving them in a 3 ring binder.
RE- 11:15 ish - you mention the bulky size of A5 covers. I have a nice one that is a frosted clear plastic folder that's A5 (and shockingly not bulky). It's from Cloth & Paper - not sure if they still sell it but I like mine a lot!
Loved this wonderful video! Halloween zine yes! Great afive pages they are so beautiful! Loved the whole setup and the beautiful illustration! Hobinichi amazing I like the pouches and the MAGA black so chic, your 2025 is underway! happy Autumn ❤
Hi Megan, I’ve just discovered your channel and I’m really curious about the way you plan and journal! Thanks for making these videos. May I ask what you use to edit your videos? I’d like to start up a channel sometime and I get a feeling from watching some of your content that you’re really conscientious about the types of products and apps you use. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us and I hope you’re enjoying your weekend. Nilly xoxo
Always a treat to check in with your videos! The stickers! Would love to see more hauls. Speaking of yokai, if you're interested in them I would really recommend the anime called "Natsume yuujinchou" (or Natsume's book of friends in English), it's my favorite animated series and so beautifully made.
I love the A5 Filofax! Would you consider making the digital inserts for that size for your shop? Or would you recommend buying the personal size and just printing it A5 size?
You ever look at a ton of art all at once and get like mega overstimulated in the best way? This is doin’ it for me. I’m totally gonna get that book for creatives
I really enjoyed this update! I love longer videos, especially when I can feel how happy you're feeling! Doing pages digitally is something I never would have thought of but it seems SO perfect for the way you work, the way you include your illustrations looks so nice, the way it feels all cohesive. This video really helped me chill out when I needed it, thank you!! 💜🖤
I do this EXACT rings set up in an A6/Passport Carpe Diem TN, in a Hobonichi clear cover, with 19mm rings. 😂 I love it. Gives me the A6 "slim" of my dreams.❤
I hate late March, the beginning of Spring is really hard for me too. Mostly because I hate the summer and warm weather, and leaving winter and going to spring is like, here it comes...warm and hot weather. I do ok at the end of spring but the feeling happens again in June and most of the summer I'm just miserable. So I understand the spring hatred. I love the bigger rings system you made. I'm not a rings person, but it looks really nice to me. I bought the same lavender weeks! I know what you mean by the hobonichi haul getting intense this year. I just got my first hobonichi this year and I fell in love with it, but it's a day free. So for 2025 I thought about a cousin, but in the end I realized it was just the hype making me want it and it wouldn't work well for me.
Now I wanna see you put rings in an A5 hobonichi cover, hehe! Loved seeing your frankenstein system. In all seriousness tho I've been considering an A5 filofax/ring binder for budgeting next year but the filofax brand covers are just so blegh and/or crazy expensive. And the thought of rings in those beautiful hobo covers just thrill me. About the Weeks I'd say keep both (unless it bothers you to possibly have an unused one laying around). If I were you I wouldn't be able to choose, i think. I'm so envious of the Yumi Kitagishi Weeks! It's gorgeous and it was a coin toss for me between that and the Purple Night Weeks (that I ended up getting). I'm a big time purple girly as well. 💜 Thanks for the video, from a new viewer. Been binging your vids the past week. Been having a really fatigued/overwhelmed time and watching you talk about planners and stuff is helping me cope. ty!
first of all, love your nails and your illustrations! they fit so well with how the spread looks and ugh i’m in love. i’d love to know the dimensions for the personal rings/a6 hobonichi cover bc I’ve officially been influenced 😂😂
A5 size too... Hooray!!!! I personally would like the monthly calendar in an A5 to be the same as your standard in the A6 -- I wouldn't care for if about extra space... sure I could find a ue for it, and would stand a better chance of reading my appointments without putting my reading glasses on.
The excitement in your voice this whole video was so wholesome & heartening. Always enjoy seeing your process and love a good nerding out over stationery. Looking forward to the Halloween zine!
My 2024 has not worked for me. I like hearing you talk about "Frankenstein-ing" your system. I am hopeful that my 2025 choices work better. Only time will tell.
Wow, I bought the same hobonichi weeks by Yumi Kitagishi as you! The small cats are in the heart shape frames, which I looove!ฅ^•ω•^ฅ I will use it for my English learning planner like this year's weeks. The big cat sticker is so great! I have no regrets ᐞ•༝•ᐞ₎◞ ̑̑
Wait SHUT UP. I Hadn’t seen the 2025 stuff yet 😭😭 Been trying to refrain for now. I’m OBSESSED with this one!!!! I thought you were talking about last years
oh! What I bought was the one Megan showed in this video. Yumi Kitagishi’s illustration is so great, and the 2024 year’s one looks so cute too! Thank you for the reply ☺️
I got an A5 Plotter earlier this year and it really does overcome the size issue. Its like carrying around a notebook rather than a giant binder and it will fit the larger of those two Hobonichi pouches (which I have as well). Its insanely expensive to get outside of Japan (I got mine in Japan), but maybe you can import it through a reshipping service.
I’ve been experimenting with different sizes of rings planners and now you have me considering a5, which could work for me since I don’t tend to carry around my journals and planners anymore (I have a pocket notebook I carry around even though most of my on-the-go notes are on my phone). My problem is that there is always something I like about each size, but I want only one notebook-the struggle! 😂 Maybe I need to embrace the fact that I need change every so often. 😅 Love your video, as always and I hope things are going well for you!
I love the spirit of this video 🖤 As you said, we stick around through all the planner changes. I will try the Hobonichi Weeks next year for the first time and I am super excited. I am normally more of a big book of everything person, but I cannot get all of my special interests into my Hon.
