I have to say that I admire anyone who has the discipline to journal. Last year I tried it, falling in love with the idea of it, & the traveller’s notebook. Unfortunately, it only took 3 weeks to fall (rather quickly, & decisively) out of love of it. I still have both sized covers, bought a way too many inserts, & other Travelers items. Live & learn, I guess. I still admire you guys keeping up this hobby…lifestyle…whatever you call it.
I totally understand - when it clicks, it clicks and if it doesn't time to try something new. Thank you for stopping by and sharing. Take care and have a great day!
Thanks for sharing your setup, love it! 😍 I also published a video showing mine recently, even picked a fun theme etc .. such exciting times! ☃️ Wishing you & your sweet family a fantastic New Year, filled with joy, creativity & cozy moments together! 🥳💃💝
I can see more minimalist theme this year. I always watch out for your set-up videos, despite using a different format. Also interesting to see how each system works for individuals, your method is the closest to mine 😅
Hi Frank. Thanks for sharing. It's always fun to see how folks are using their TN's and if they've made any changes. The past couple years I've been using the standard monthly undated for my planning needs with a passport lightweight paper to list all my tasks. I laid out the monthly myself this past year which was tedious so for '25 I'm going to go with the Sterling Ink. I like listing and tracking my goals for the year and keeping up per quarter plus reviewing my month which there is space for. I think it will suit me well. The crossed off tasks and daily to do's have no place in anything I archive, hence using just the passport for to do's. I have a separate TN white MD paper for memory keeping and then the 013 lightweight paper for journaling.
Thanks for sharing your set-up. I like how you’re incorporating habit tracking into the Weeks pages (I’ve been doing habit tracking in my Hobonichi Techo, but now considering this approach…inspiring). One question: Are you using your TN primarily for your TH-cam and side business and personal tasks? Or, also using for day job work/tasks? I may have missed that in your other overviews?
Thank you for the kind feedback. To answer your question my TN is primarily for my personal life/youtube/side businesses. My day job I keep a simple A5 in my Galen Leather A5 and freeform / scribble / jot notes most of the time as my job seems to be mostly all executed in Microsoft Outlook and Teams. It's a bit of a struggle for an analog guy like me but I'm working on it :) Take care and have a wonderful day!
Thanks for sharing…I too struggle with the analog/digital nuance at work/office…we use Teams and Outlook, etc…but co-workers still take notice of my notebook and fountain pens, always makes for interesting conversations. Really enjoying your videos.
Hi, I got all of mine at Reid Stationer's here in Calgary. reidstationers.com/products/travelers-notebook-regular-refill-2025-weekly-memo?_pos=6&_sid=3170ce64f&_ss=r&variant=46105376915675 If you google Traveler's Notebook Weekly + Memo you may be able to pick one up online or at a stationery shop that's closer to you. I hope that helps. Warm wishes and have a great day!
4:33 the way I overcame this issue was I put the first stickers from the top: Jan - Jun and then from the bottom up Dec - July and it left a nice gap right in the middle of the insert, exactly where the elastic lays
Hi there, that's Diamine Inkvent 2024 Sleigh ride. It's an extreme sheen ink with brown and green. Hope that helps. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
It's a Superior labor 2 pen holder. I bought mine here. How that helps. wonderpens.ca/products/center-b-pre-order-b-the-superior-labor-leather-clip-2-pen-holder-natural-center
I don't know why but I'm really procrastinating on setting up my 2025 diaries this year. I just ain't got the interest for some reason.... I'll "come around" sooner or later and get them done. Vertical diary and monthl diary for me again 👍🏻😄
Great question. Nothing anymore. I used to try and use it but I always struggled with the limited space. Although as I'm talking out loud I may put tentative plans in the weekly memo monthly area and then put the confirmed into the Monthly. Thank you for getting me to think about this! Take care and have a wonderful day!
@StationeryAt4 thanks for answering. Last year I used it for habit tracking in my passport version. I have filled it in as you would your monthly insert for the next few months, but since watching your video ive now bought the separate monthly! Thanks for all your videos, I look forward to them coming out.
Ah yes. I hacked it based on a suggestion from a fellow TH-camr. I've included details if you're interested th-cam.com/video/YvqdPS272n0/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps
Chonk is beautiful 😊

I still haven’t set up my 2025 planners yet! Must get on that soon.
Same here! 😅
Very nice setup, we have almost identical setups. Very practical indeed

What do you use the monthly view in the weekly memo for given you have the monthly insert?
Great question. Nothing anymore. I used to try and use it but I always struggled with the limited space.
