@@SterlingInk This video popped up in my feed and I was curious, I already left another post that I am in love with what you have created in the perfect planner for me, so no Hobonichi Cousin for 2025, I’m going with yours! It is beautiful. Such attention to detail. Very calming on the eyes yet totally readable. The additions you made to the 2025 are perfect for what I’m looking for and you have a new customer! I wanted to say, I had no idea you were a small business, I thought Sterling Ink was another big company in Japan with nice products…so I want to applaud you and also will be so happy to support a woman owned small business! Good for you, and well done!! I am so impressed with your products, and the changes for 2025 just created exactly what I need. Thank you!!!
@@Yosaphina Agreed, it makes me really stressed. I'd rather wait several months and know I'm getting the one I need. The multiple release dates I'm also finding really confusing and stressful.
Note for newbies: N1 is a comparable size to Traveler's Notebook standard size. N2 is comparable to Hobonichi Weeks (roughly the same size as the cover of a hardcover Weeks).
This is the definition of planner-heaven in your home, all of these planners readily at your fingertips! Catherine, so impressed by the choices, details, and passion.
Oh I hope you never get rid of the half year option in vertical - it's my perfect planer and I take it EVERYWHERE I go. Thank you for keeping smooth covers and adding the yearly tracker. And as someone with a visual impairment I really appreciate the bolder font. I was hoping to see the B5 in a vertical half year option but alas, it sounds like I'm in the minority on that one. I wish I could come help you pack orders - I feel like that would be such a fun job! Gratefully, Sarah
Holding orders for people to combine them, just another reason why I will always support your business!! You're always so thoughtful to your customers. Thank you for that!
When you make the videos for each of the planners, can you please be sure to include the column width for each of the vertical layouts for those of use that use sticker kits?
The 365+ pages of daily pages make this the most useful notebook on the market. This is where the Hobonichi cousin fails. I hate that pressure with the daily page dated and feeling like a failure when I have blank pages. This section makes it much more flexible for journaling and doing daily pages AS you need them and not feel like you have to do one every day. Wonderful innovation! Thank you:)
appreciate you saying that about the planner and the notebook in the back! Its one of my favorite parts of the common planner to use compared to others!
Hmm, interesting comment. For me its the opposite. The dates on the pages is what motivates me to use them and it keeps me accountable to back fill what i have left blank. If they are just blank pages i will not use them and i end up with an empty notebook. Goes to show how differently people’s brains work. 😮
This video cemented my plan of not going with hobonichi this year! The new colors are so pretty and that yearly overview page is awesome! linen and mulberry
I have purchased the 2023 and 2024 Common Planners for my daughter and myself. I thought that from day one they were absolutely perfect. I didn't think that there was anything that you could do to improve them. Well, imagine my surprise! You've managed to perfect it AGAIN. And the mulberry, tweed, and linen?!?! Girl, take my money!!!
Oh wow!!! I had just planned to get another Hobonichi Cousin…I didn’t know much about these, but I absolutely love the daily planner, the layout, the fonts, the clarity and cleanness of everything (not much visual distraction which I need, but enough to organize,) and all the blank pages for “extras” as well as the large open daily pages. I am in love!!!!! Wow!!!! You’ve hit it out of the ballpark and just won a new customer. I’m so excited!!!! Hmmm…Forest or Caramel? I love them both (actually all of the colors are beautiful, nothing that I wouldn’t like.)
thank you so much for all the kind words on the planner design! Thats amazing to hear your going to make the switch over, welcome to the Sterling Ink family 🥰 also those are both great choices for colors!!
I’m really happy you added a B6 Slim to your line up this year. It’s so difficult to find anything in that size. This is like a dream come true. Thank you!
Excellent. I've also learned how color coding helps me cross reference. Beautiful and well thought out planners. And although a small thing, thanks for numbering the pages. I dream of the 24 hr. format but I realize it's a minority concept in today's world. Thorough video. Grid across the pages makes total sense to me. With macular degeneration I appreciate the slight bolding of the pre-printed icons. Food for thought...Monthly overview NOT grouped together but start of each month. Probably a bindery issue but thought I'd mention it. I do way too much thinking about these things. Comes with being 75 and well down the planner rabbit hole. Very useful tool the making the best of life.
Yay! Horizontal layouts! That booklet B5 for long term planning is so tempting too! I've never used planners as consistently as I've used the two I bought last year from work and home. Truly a wonderful product - all of your hard work and thoughtfulness really shows!
oh my, so many great colors this year! I'll need more notebooks and planners just to have a piece in (almost) every color! haha Catherine you outdid yourself!! you are amazing!!
I love that you added the yearly tracker! My Jibun Techo has that and it really helps me visualize a year like nothing else. So excited to try a Common Planner this year.
I’ve ordered stickers from Sterling Ink before but have only just stumbled upon the Common Planner in someone’s youtube review. OMG this is exactly what I’ve been looking for and CANNOT WAIT for the release! Every year, I keep trying different planners thinking that I’m going to find what I need, but I think this is FINALLY what I need! So excited!
thats amazing to hear you found us through our stickers then stumbled upon the Common Planner! Glad that it sounds like what you have been looking for too!! 🥰🥰
Thank you so much for putting together such beautiful new line. They are all just beautiful!!!! It shows that so much time, thought and effort have gone into this release, thanks again to you and your team!!!!!!
Hi, Catherine! I just want to say a huge THANK YOU @29:19 for deciding to put grids on both sides of the pages in the horizontal planners!! This will be such a game-changer for me! Also, I truly appreciate how clearly you showed all the different sizes and how they compared to each other…that was brilliant. 🥰 Wonderful video, many thanks for all your hard work. 💙 Meline
This is an amazing release! I don't know how you do it? I'm so grateful though! I will definitely be getting my beloved N1 in the Full Year. You know, at first (back in 2023) I didn't know what to do with the Quarterly section, but now I've come to plan my whole life in quarters and it's so productive and convenient and those pages are my main guide. Can't wait to place my order!
Was considering the common planner for 2025 and yup I’m definitely getting my first common planner after this video! Now to decide which colour to get!
I’m speechless 😮. So thankful for just an only slightly darker line visualization. At least I know the color I want 🖤🖤. It’s the multiple sizes and layouts that decision fatigue will kick in 😅.
You’ve done it!!!!! You have made exactly what I’ve been looking for in a planner. My issue with the first version(excluding light grid) was the absence of a monthly overview page and notes pages. Daily planning is my system. Weekly is plus or minus. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
So happy to see a B6 slim option cause that's my ideal format (big enough to write a lot but small enough to carry everywhere). Also yes to a horizontal option for every format (I hate time blocking :D ) Eying the daily planner as a journal option now
I really appreciate your candour about the difficulties of adding items as a small shop. I think a lot of people don't know or understand that each new option across a line like this means several new SKUs per planner type and along with that a whole section of inventory space. Wonderful overview of your products and additions. I hope your shop continues to thrive.
No preorder has me feeling nervous....finally have the perfect planner this year (horizontal n2) and have to cross my fingers that it won't sell out in 30 seconds. Please tell us you will have plenty on hand! I know you are small...it is an insane line up you have...so many pretty options! But after 30+ years as a planner girl, yours are my hands down favs ever!❤
Wow! I’ve never before ordered from your company, but I will definitely be ordering this year. I am blown away by your product line! So excited to be a new customer!
I love the idea of using the back of the planner in reverse to jot down notes! Sometimes I fixate on making it pretty that I forget it can be fun and messy!!
So glad to see horizontal in all sizes (except half years)! Also really appreciate the flat rate shipping over $35USD! It really makes things so much more accessible for myself as an Aussie. So thoughtful of you all to offer it. ❤ A great video, love the look of everything.
This is literally the only planner I will need. I won’t even need to tip things in or paste pages because you have included it already. I’m very impressed. I can’t wait!
Oh this is perfect ❤🎉 I’m a daily journaler and i always want that all-in-one setup because you don’t really want your thoughts where you plan but two books is too much, etc. I’m so excited for the blank pages!
My adhd makes it easy to get lost in planners with too light of font. I’ve wanted one of your planners for a while, but couldn’t do with the font. This year’s launch makes me so so happy! Thank you for changing it. Now I can watch your videos with my own Sterling Ink . 😊😊😊
Beond excited as your layout is exactly as I love to plan 😍🥰.And I am a B5 fanatic ❤. Living in South Africa normally means that my dream planner is unaffordable as shipping usually more than doubles the price. Your flat rate means that your perfect planner should still be affordable for me - thank you so much!😊
I have been looking for a Planner/Journal where there is a month calendar, followed by a daily section and I am not able to find ANY company that makes it. For example, there would be a January month calendar spread across 2 pages, followed by 2 monthly trackers/habits pages for January, followed by daily pages for January, (the daily pages would run across 2 pages with 4 boxes on each page), followed by 2 notes pages for January review or pictures or whatever. Every month would be laid out in this same format and can be dated or non-dated.
For work, since it stays at my desk, I prefer larger planners. The fact you made the Common Planner available in B5 may have just won me over. I love the front pages as they are (love the yearly tracker you added, too). My only hesitation in not ordering right this minute? Well, I just wish the months/weeks/days (aka notes pages) were bundled. I am getting the monthly booklet + notebook planner for budgeting and spending tracking/savings.
Great video, Catherine. Thank you for being so considerate of your customers. I’ll be ordering probably from several release dates and all during a vacation. I greatly appreciate the “hold” option and great shipping rates to Europe!
Daily planners poppin off this year. Sooo excited to try y'all's daily as well as just scribbles new a6! Will probably end up still getting a hobonichi too just in case 😅
I’m so excited and seriously cannot wait! You are amazing! For next year, my one request would be a monthly weekly daily notebook, and available in B5. This year, I think I’m going to get the B5 common planner and I’m so excited!! Will never get a different planner ❤
ah the yearly tracker was the only section I was missing because I use it for my period tracking and had to draw it. It's beyond perfect. Thank you for all the effort wow!
Thank you, Catherine, for working so hard each year to improve your planners 👏😃 I started using the Common Planner this year, and it’s great 👍 I love how it’s very functional and minimal, so I can change the layout without a problem for those weeks that need it. And now I’m excited for the B5, which is a size I have never used, but seems like the answer to my never ending page tipping because I always tend to write a lot 😅
I was so thrilled about the detailed video showcasing i just wtached for the upcoming features of the 2025 collection. Your thorough explanations of the available options and limitations are appreciated. The new sizes and colors, particularly the mulberry and tweed, have piqued my interest. Choosing the right size and combination for these shades is a delightful challenge. I have decided on the B6 slim and pocket size, and may consider another depending on the availability of the mulberry color. This upcoming year, I am determined to prioritize self-love and indulging in these planners is a fitting way to embrace that resolution.
I am absolutely in LOVE with the beautiful fairy pink and that rich mulberry color!! I agree with the others that you hit it out of the park with these colors and planners they are gorgeous!! I just hope you have enough stock for all of us pink and purple lovers and praying that both colors are available in A5 size 🙏 💗💜 I also wanted to say Thank you for taking the time to explain and also go over every detail about the planners, the sizes, layouts etc. It was so helpful and I look forward to further videos about the A5 sized items!! I missed out on the pink planner, and bought one of the July planners so i could enjoy it sooner instead of waiting until 2025 and Im loving it and so glad I made the decision yo switch. I also love my subscription as well. You work so hard, you listen to feedback and you care what your customers want and that means so much. I am excited to finish the year with Sterling Ink and begin my year of 2025 with Sterling Ink ❤Thank you so much!!! ❤
I am so excited about the yearly tracker and the horizontal layout!!! Thank you so much!!! 💚 Also I LOVE that Forest is staying! I have been in love with it every single day all year long! And I’m excited to bring more booklets into my planning system! The mulberry is gorgeous, and I am already hoping/daydreaming about the academic planner in the tweed! (If that’s an option. If not, that’s ok!)
It’s ALL amazing! I love the daily planner and all of the new colors! You’ve done an amazing job in supplying products for so many diverse needs and desires. 🥰👏🏻👏🏻
Im sooo excited for 2025!! I decided im going to switch to a Sterling Ink common planner from a Happy Planner for work because i just really loved and enjoyed my B6 and Passport from you!
I used to need 1-3 daily pages per day. Since leaving my 8-5 job, I’ve felt so weird not doing as much as I used to. Seeing this video has awoken a new me. I think weekly’s is what I’ve been needing to get into a new rhythm. When I don’t write things down, I feel like I haven’t done anything. I’m looking forward to your launch. I want to get the passport, pocket, or slim.
Im so excited! The horizontal is exactly what I’m looking for! 🎉❤ You guys have done so well to provide something that will no doubt suit everyone while also offering the best customer service! Truly amazing! I really hope I manage to snag what I’ve got my eye on 🤞🏻
😊😊 Very informative 👏🏽 I love all the originals and additions, and hope they are here to stay🤞🏽 Interweaving all available options throughout the product line - FANTÁSTICO 🙌🏽😍
I'm super excited about the release and I love the planners that you have created. This is will be my first time ordering. The B6 horizontal weeks is exactly what I need for my language studies. I have been looking for something like this for the past year, and it's just perfect!
Wow definitely food for thought with so many wonderful choices, thank you. And yes you do fulfill and ship quickly I’ve been so pleasantly surprised by this with the orders I e placed this past month. Thank you 🤗 Melissa
