Lives change, our priorities change, I don't think you should feel any guilt for letting go of whatever isn't serving you or making you happy anymore. The online planner community is fun but at the end of the day, your planner should HELP YOU, whether that's being artistic or just scribbling messy lists with a random pen. Change your channel any way you like, viewers will come and go so do what you enjoy. Just my two cents! I can relate to the overwhelm, I think most of us deal with that. The nice thing is there's always someone who would be so happy to have that washi etc. You could give it away just to let it go without fuss, or re-sell it if you want/need to recoup some of the money. ❤
You can keep this channel and do different things...vlogging, cooking, cleaning, planning, whatever you want it to be...your yt name doesn't just mean plan in a planner...u are planning life and every aspect of it...I would keep it and do a lil bit of everything...
Just a thought. Use the large as a dump. All the feeling dumped into it. The good, the bad, the complicated. It may help you do a whole reset. Or not. Congratulations on the journey of weight loss.
I'm sorry work/your state sucks. I vote for branching out and keeping this channel. I have plans to do the same really as planning is more of a function and less of a hobby these days. I hope your journey to a new job brings you what you want. I'll stick around and watch your new stuff.
Save space put your cards in the slots an it fits lip balm spray keys I have the Nolita 15 in candied orange I love spring is coming she gonna be outside 😂
I dont think your washi collection is excessive seeing that you only have 1 per design hehe. But that's just my opinion though. 😅 And to be fair, Helen does different styles of washi unlike some shops that looks repetitive 😅. Im biased 😂
I started hating planning too after spending all that money on planners, sticker and washi. I am just over it. I have recently gotten into vintage and old world things so I found Barnes and Noble 12 Month Desk Diary and Daphnes Diary. That’s all I am using and no more money wasted on expensive planners.
omg i don't know what the barnes and noble planner looks like and i'm going to try to refrain from looking it up because i might get sucked in!! lol!! i am def trying to break the spending cycle as much as possible. hopefully we can all keep each other accountable 😭💜
I'm honestly SO glad people are feeling the same way!!! it definitely illustrates how consumerism, marketing, social media, etc. have all impacted the planner community. i'm trying to get back to my roots for 2024 now and just focus on functionality. thank you so much for watching <3 LOVE the forget me nots on your icon btw!!
I feel you!! I've been in a similar mood. Lots of returns and just feeling over it sometimes. LOVE the day designer. I'm looking forward to see you use the EC. I've been looking for a discounted one on Mercari haha.
omg!!! not to enable you but I actually found some 2024 EC planners at Target recently!!! I was pretty surprised to see it there but i don't remember the price off the top of my head. i'm excited for the day designer! i don't imagine i'll share it much since it'll stay at work mostly but i think it'll def be functional and minimal! i have so many of your videos to catch up on!! i'm excited to see what your 2024 plans are hehe
I've nearly burned myself out too, all year when I see other peoples set up it makes me want them, thankfully I didn't act on those desires but it made me unhappy with my own, finally I stepped away and just started working on my mindset of functionality and have stayed focused on the "why" I have a planner system and so far that has helped
Thank you for sharing your experience. That's great advice to focus on mindset and remind oneself on the benefits of planning at a root level. It makes it a lot easier to still thrive with minimal items beyond that.
i'm so glad that other people seem to be resonating!! burned out is the right word for it - i'm constantly drowning in stationery supplies/journals i don't even remember purchasing! functional planning is the goal for me moving forward and i'm hoping it'll bring the therapeutic qualities back T_T
@@wahinepaddler4 what nano cover are you using?! it fits snug with the Creme but eventually molded in! the kody fit okay too!! the giovanni had a little bit of the notebook popping out, but still fit pretty well!
Thank you for this unboxing! The tote is sooooo cute. I prefer the whote because of the contrasting strap. Did you end up keeping it? I also have super sensitive skin and the only "luxury" skincare that hasn't messed me up is the tatcha water cream. Im obsessed with it 😂
Thank you for sharing! You're one of the only videos I have seen that actually go through their AE Weeks planner. I wish there were more. I am new to AE Weeks and so the process of what you do on. your dailies is of super interest! I am also not sure I need a page per day. So I was happy to see the beginning where you used the days differently by covering the dates so that gives me some inspiration and possible direction as to how I may want to use mine. Thanks again!
aw thank you so much!! i'm surprisingly still going strong with the AE weeks and keeping it pretty simple! i'm not usually a daily planner, but i like it now. i am not going to be using this for 2024, but it was fun for the last half of the year! I can't wait to share more about it :) Thank you so much for watching!! 💜
Is that a moterm fabric yellow/mustard insert or is it the travelers. If it’s the moterm do you like it. Travelers fabric insert is not available right now. I’m trying to decide if the moterm fabric insert is worth it. The reviews say it’s rough to touch but I’m not sure if it would matter that much. Also is the color true if yours is the moterm. Thanks
omg i never replied so fast, but i absolutely think the moterm one is worth it!! I've never used the traveler's company one because i refuse to buy it for ~$40 when I can get the same thing for like $5. So i can't speak to the differences in texture, but def thinks it's the better deal. The moterm one is definitely sturdy but I wouldn't necessarily say it is "rough" to touch. I think it feels pretty nice and substantial. And yes! The color is pretty true to the pictures shown :)
Thank you very much. This is good to know. Your looks very nice. I hate to spend 3x as much for this item if I don’t really need to. It is hard sometime to tell if some reviews would pertain because people’s perspectives can be so different. I’d rather spend the $40 on an extra travelers company notebook.
OMG 🥹 thank you!!! I feel like my planning style is so boring and always the same but I appreciate that!! I always really love your planning style too. What’s on your mind for 2024?!?
Hi Stella!!! So, so good to see you. I do want to see the process of how you use your Weeks. I am about to get the 2024 set and have no idea yet how I am going to use it. In fact, I can't even remember the layout to much. lol Pre-order was so long ago. I know what you mean about life can be chaotic! I am glad you made time for us! I love to see your chaos! 🥰 I got back from Ireland on Saturday night. I wasn't able to post to IG while I was in Ireland. I have no idea why. Every time I tried no matter what it wouldn't let me. I could comment, scroll, etc., just not post. I could post to facebook though. lol You sound good. I hope you are doing well. Make sure to get your self-care in every week!
Aww yay!!! I’ll def share how i use it, but I definitely think I am pretty lazy/boring when it comes to planning!! It’s always the same layouts haha! What other planner ideas do you have for 2024? WAIT how was your husband’s marathon and the whole trip in general?! I’d love to see photos!!!
Omg it does get pretty crowded !! Especially with how small the store is. The last time I went, there was a cool group of art students I befriended which was so heartwarming! I love how there's a small table for you to stamp and play with the items 🥹
Thanks so much for sharing! I‘ve been eyeing the TRP daily planners Hubman & Chubgirl made a while ago, but I haven‘t bought any (yet). I know they‘ve got one with these cats on it and after seeing them in your video, I am severely tempted… 😂
OMG it's honestly REALLY good quality! The stickers especially. I wasn't expecting that because I assumed they would be printed on basic sticker paper. I also had NO IDEA they offer TRP planners! I might go get one now 🙈 also still eyeing their advent calendar.....
Omg yes!!! I actually just started using it up again - not as a wallet, but as a brain dump/bullet journal. I'm planning to share updates on my new set up :) along with the many nanos i ordered lol....
OMG I would LOVE to see how you utilize yours if you'd be willing to share!! The Darcy is PERFECT for fall! i've been using mine pretty consistently and love it so far :)
Hi - I've just purchased the Kinbor A5 all in one for 2024. It's as thick as the Hobonichi Cousin and doesn't even have the weekly section. Wondering if you ever used a cover for your A5 half year Kinbors? If so, which one? Thanks...Great video...x
Hi!! SOrry for the late response, but omg... not gonna lie...... i ended up not using both of them 🙈😅 i'm so bad!! i switched out of them so fast, but I definitely did use the half year kinbors with a cover during my short time with it! I used it on the Moterm A6 planner covers! They also fit perfectly into the Hobonichi covers and I'd bet the Chic Sparrow TNs would work fine too. Granted I didn't use the A5 size, but it is essentially the same concept! Let me know if you have anymore questions!
I love the aliexpress pouch! Do you have a link? I searched drawer pouch etc and can’t find it. Thank you for any help. Ps- the plaid ane is beautiful.
