I almost forgot - as of July 2024, the “buy-in” for a PLOTTER in A5 is £280 ~ $360 with all the accessories … 😮

I was going to reference with time stamps but I was driving … Thank you for your video as I agree with most of it but specifically … 1. The lack of TUTORIALS! 2. The PRICE OF THE BINDER! I feel like the two little girls felt about the “9 quid for ****** ice cream!” 200 + quid for a piece of leather and a shiny piece of brass with hoops? This is why BuJo works and this needs more clarity. Your comments needed to be said … 👍

Please make a video about your taking notes system! It looks so nice 😎🖤

So….. can I have it? 😂😂

also having something to say about "The limits of my language are the limits of my world"! I listened to a podcast by invisibilia a few years back that related to this very topic. It was surrounding the concept that words also create feelings- almost in that having a vocabulary for something creates a container through which you can now experience the thing. Super interesting stuff

Plotter has been on my mind for some time. I just never made the assertive decision to purchase it because of apprehension on the system. I’m happy you actually discussed the inners of it in a honest way. Based on this I feel like I’m better off with my current Filofax. TYSM for sharing…it’s caring!❣️✨

"The limits of my language are the limits of my world" is such a profound quote. I also loved how you connected the book’s themes to your own experience with motherhood, especially given how personal and vulnerable you were willing to be. Your introspective approach adds a unique depth to the review, particularly with topics as philosophical as these. Really insightful review-thank you for sharing!

just gotta say I'm obsessed with this. Please talk to me about books some more, haha. I've been wanting to get into more philosophically inclined novels so def going to check this out now.

Oh, you're using your plotter again! Do you like it again now?

Love the format of this video and hearing your thoughts! The combination of writing and the book talk. I was planning on doing a similar video soon so this was inspiring 🤎

Just found your channel, love your energy and content. Keep up what you’re doing! Where did you find the board where you write?

Thank you. I hope you feel better now. I personally love my Plotter journal. I use it primarily as my monthly objectives manager to keep track of my art commissions.

I love your videos.

Where is that clipboard thing from?

Love the way you are using the A5 rings - I didn’t realize I want that system!

akindofcafe, versamagic, and brilliance inks work wonderfully on TRP. I have made my peace with shachihata, but it's entirely too distracting how much it bleeds.

Watched the whole thing and it was great! These slice of life moments taking in everything are the best! Thank you!

wow, I love this video. It's so interesting and calming at the same time.

The best unintentional asmr I have ever saw, congratulations for your nice work 🤍

Im so happy to come across this video, been looking for something like this for a long time. Love hearing your thoughts, cannot wait for more! <3

Where did you buy this binder/journal? :) it’s literally the type of binder I’ve been looking for for awhile now. Thanks!

such a nice video! im glad u came randomly on my main page !!

I’m a leatherworker by trade, and I’d say don’t let anyone fob you off with leather that has holes, unattractive scarring, etc. Yes, that happens with a natural material, but reputable leather companies will pattern cut around holes, unacceptable blemishes, etc. We also don’t use leather that is excessively ‘fluffy’ on the back, or that has a weird smell, both are signs of poorly tanned leather. You did the right thing by returning the cover that had damage.

Wow 🤩 you have your own library! So cozy

I Love my Plotters. I use my mini 5 as a wallet love love love it I used a little project manager things to put things in that I don't want people to see when I open my notebook private things like financial. It's so nice because I can put a grocery list on it and then throw it away where if I was using a notebook it would just be ugly in it. I also have the Bible size I'm bad about stuffing so it doesn't allow that it always looks nice people always ask me where I got it because they think it's beautiful and I only keep the papers in there that are prettier look nice if I miss one up I can just take it out.

Where did you buy your date stickers

Hi A!! This video showed up on my recommendation page and omg the colors swatches are so cute! Glad you are loving these inks and thank you again for your support:) Always great to see you! -RJ

the Tono & Lims packaging is so cute! Thanks for sharing.

I got so burnt out having too many planner systems so I decided for 2024 I'm just sticking to 1, so far the Jibun Techo has been so useful for me since I'm more of a tracker kind of planner user. I still have other notebooks but they're no longer for planning/organizing specifically. One sketchbook and one morning pages journal. It was so freeing for my mind! These kinds of videos help so much with figuring out what works and what doesn't. So thank you for sharing your experience 💖💖💖

Thank you for sharing! I wanted to see how different the Sakura Mochi is from the Manyo Nuts. I think I'll need both in my collection hehe 🌰🧡🌸🍡

@thestationeaywriter i love your green Sailor pens, which is your favourite? And mind sharing the Kraft Traveler’s notebook card number which holds your ink swatches please I’d love to get acquainted with the booklet, I’ve received my first Midori Tn notebook last week

Tardy to the party over here. Thank you for your honest opinion! This is my first year using rings as an adult (I use Hobonichi exclusively, and rings sort of gave me nightmare fuel from when I was in hs and our school gave us ringed planners), so I was considering Plotter. Then I saw the size of the rings. Then I saw LindseyScribbles' video where she noted she could only fit a month in. Nope, not for me, especially considering the hefty price tag for essentially a ringed planner that can only hold limited space. And I agree, archival is difficult, and another reason I hesitated to try rings. But I do know how to book bind and will be turning my Filofax inserts into little tear away notepads--it's actually easier than you think and you don't really need to buy a bunch of stuff. Books for weight, cardstock (I reuse package boxes), some elmer's glue, binder clips (plenty at my office), scissors...you can do! A good "how-to" is: blog.papercraftpanda.com. It'll actually be easier for you if you keep the "shell" of the plotter refills...anyway. I decided on a Filofax personal size and I plan on getting some inserts from Plotter, Raymay Fuji, Cloth and Paper, and also making my own with purchased downloads. Happy planning!! I've subscribed, I might just binge your content today!

Hi! I like those folders you have in the plotter. Would you mind sharing where they're from?

Now you need the new Chestnut one to keep comparing greens 😁 i love green pens!!

Yay!!! Excited to watch ❤

Thank you for the video. Lots of great content!

what a lovely pen!! the colour is stunning. thanks for sharing! 💛

Oh how I wish this was a pro gear!!! Either way it’s beautiful 🍵❤️ 🍡

Beautiful! 😍 I love olive greens and I did expect it to be similar to Nuts, but it's nice in its own way. I am waiting on Yoseka to restock Sailor Tuzu, myself. 😁

I enjoyed your introspection. Thanks for sharing! Your desk looks like such cozy spot for journaling.

I know my comment comes 4 months late, but I agree with your views on Sterling Ink. It's refreshing to hear anything other than absolutely loving Sterling Ink and how incredible she is. I fell for the trap and pre-ordered. I was even one of those who tried to sell theirs off (with no success LOL). Now, I am using it just fine, but Sterling Ink won't get my business next year and I even have an idea in mind for what I'd like. Thanks for sharing, take care!

Was yours this dark when you got it? It looks grey on the website.

Your pages seem to fit different from mine....for some reason my pages turn much easier...so maybe you got something flawed (paper bug?)

I do just have to say that there are a TON of different and nice looking archive binders for personal size (which is what plotter Bible size is), if you want one that is similar to travelers notebooks but even has the year embossed and a box that goes with it then go over and check out Franklin Covey's archive binders, i wish they had A6, if you're using a true A6 ring binder there actually ARENT any nice, low cost, archive options.

I find it to just be boring and FAR too small (capacity wise) to really be a planning workhorse. I don't get the hype around Plotter.

Excellent points. Good review and you've highlighted some valid issues I've not seen others raise.

Really really enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing how your preferences and thoughts evolved 🙌🏻

Thank you! Finally an in depth review on this product. I'm surprised at how tiny the rings are for the price point. Seems like it's more flash than substance; not for me when there are so many more practical/still luxury alternatives out there.

Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate it! I like videos that show use in general because pure hauls make it hard to actually ‘review’ anything at all! I think as with most planners it’s a very individual issue because what works for one might not for another!

I am utterly obsessed with my Plotter, it's been a real game-changer for me (though I don't use mine as a planner). But I am so appreciative of your candid and authentic presentation here. I struggle to find creators that aren't scared to give their honest take on popular stationery items, or, if they are more forthright, it's just for rabid gate-keeping (what constitutes a commonplace book, bujo, etc.,). Plus, you are so right that the majority of Plotter content = unboxings. Anyway, just wanted to thank you for expressing your opinions and pointing out some pretty significant flaws with a few features of the Plotter. And I wish Designphil, who widely distributes their Midori and TN products, would begin offering Plotters to the international market! We need more content beyond "Oh it's such pretty leather"; it's kinda hard to make informed purchasing decisions about whether it's actually worth it on a practical level. There's a lot of Japanese channels I find helpful, but it would be cool to find more English-speakers who, like you did here, offered specific breakdowns of how the inserts/accessories are working out for them. 🙂
