♥ Frequently Asked Questions ♥
Q: Do you plan before, during, or after the week?
A: It varies from video to video, but typically I plan 2-3 times during the week and stitch the clips together. I rarely plan the entire week in advance or the entire week retroactively.
Q: Do you use all of these planners?
A: Yes and no. Every week, there is something in my life that takes priority over the others whether it be school, work, or something personal. Depending on the week, I select a few planners that will help me achieve my tasks! So not every planner is used every week.
Q: How do you get so much done in a day?
A: If you watch any of my journaling vlogs, you’ll realize that I have very poor sleeping habits and so naturally I’m able to fit more things into the day. It’s something I’m trying to fix but admittedly this is the only reason. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

I hope you have so much fun on your trip, Helen!🥰🥳
I wish I had a friend who loves fountain pens (and inks!) like you 😄 Also, I found out about Take-A-Note planners for the first time, thanks to you, Helen! So, I'll be trying that out next year 😊
Same hereee! And I'm excited! This will be my first year in the TaN~
Helen, I’m so amazed that you spend so little time doing all of the Hobonichi spreads and you manage to make it so incredibly beautiful! I probably spend equally as much time just to make my to-do list 😅 Hope you have a wonderful time at the conference and vacation! 💛
I hope I can fill up my daily pages like you do. I don't know how you do it... filling it up everyday beautifully. 🥰. Thanks for sharing about your knowledge on fountain pens. I also do agree that it is gentler on the wrist and hand because it needs less pressure to write. 😊
These are on of my favorite things about Sundays! Your videos are so relaxing to me ☺️
THANK YOU!!! This made my day!
Great video Helen...Happy Sunday ❤😊
I love the music that accompanies your videos-very relaxing. 🫶🏼
Thank you!!!
Yayyy… travelling vlogsss i can’t wait!! I hope you enjoy the conference Helen and meet so many of your lovely subscribers 💖💖💖.
Thank youuuuu!!!! I hope so too!!
I love your doodles sooo much and the 1989 album was just perfect 💚
Thank you! 10000% agree!
Lovely dailies and I love the prompts concept. Safe travels and I hope you have a fantastic time! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Have a wonderful trip! I'm so excited for you.
Thank you Sherry!!
I really love your vids 😭 I can't even explain how much your videos inspire and entertain me ❣️
Thank you so much!! This made my dayyyyy
I love how you give almost every drawing a face. It makes me so happy! Happy Sunday, Helen and safe travels for your trip. I'm super excited to see the leuchtturm TCMC notebook. I haven't stopped thinking about it since you showed them a few weeks/months back. I'm hoping to get one whenever you have them for sale.
Hehehe it makes me happy tooooo! Thank you always
your handwriting is art, i love it, so inspiring for my journaling adventure ❤❤❤
Ahh thank you Chantelle!!!
It’s always lovely to hear you talk about fountain pens! I remember watching PLL a few years ago & I really enjoyed it. I’m not sure if I could rewatch the whole series yet, there’s a few characters I don’t like lol. I hope you have a great time on your trip! Definitely excited for the vlog. ❤️❤️
Hehe thank you Angel!! I totally agree XD
Have a wonderful trip. I, too, enjoy coffee, fountain pens, and journaling. Btw, the outro music is lovely. Thanks for a nice journaling moment.
Thank you!!! Sounds like we would get along well hehe
I love all the doodles…I need to practice mine. Thank you for the inspiration Helen. You are amazing! I am with you when you say your “real life” friends don’t have this same passion. I find the same - that’s why your videos are so awesome. We can all be online friends that share these wonderful habits and hobbies
Keep practicing Jenn! Thank you so much
Helen, safe travels. I am looking forward to hearing all about your trip. I hope you will enjoy yourself. Take care💜
Thank you so much Holly!!
I love the album cover you drew!! I can’t wait to see you in Orlando. Love you 😘
Thank you Charissa! I cannot waittttt!
Hey Helen! Thanks so much for sharing. Hope you have a magical trip and that you really enjoy yourself!! All the best, Karen 🫶🏽🥳💞💞💞
Thank you so much Karen!!
Wow, keep up the good work with the washi tape! I'll live vivaciously through you, since I have yet to hit that milestone. Hmmm maybe I should look into the prompts one of these days. Sometimes it would be nice to have something to help jumpstart the writing process. Or maybe I should start looking for prompts and saving the ones I like.
Yay for more digitals!!! I really need to find all my digitals and get them organized... I'm thinking of trying digital planning again, so that would be nice to have emotis all around. :P I have friends who humor me when I geek out about stickers/pens/inks/tapes/papers, so I get you. Thank you for making and posting videos like this. While I don't know you in person, I feel like these videos are a little catch-up session with a fellow stationary/pen lover. :D
Last year the Cousin worked really well for me. This year, I think I tried to do too much, so I only have a couple of entries in it... maybe I'll change it to a catch-all book for the future? Though I've been using my Weeks Mega and Common Planner pretty frequently this year so it wasn't a total bust in terms of planner usage.
Safe travels, and I hope you have fun! Maybe one of these days I'll make it to a planner meetup somewhere...
I feel like it’s been a while since you shared your daily spreads in a daily journaling video. I admit, I do prefer weekly plan with me but it’s always a pure joy to sit down for a bit and watching you making such perfect spreads.
Thank you so much Helen, you are my little sunshine in those gloomy weeks.🌞
Traduction française (pour t’entraîner ☺️) :
J’ai l’impression que ça fait longtemps que tu n’as pas posté de vidéo « daily plan with me » ! Je dois bien avoué que je préfère les « weekly plan with m (sorry, there is not really a translation for that in french) mais c’est toujours un vrai plaisir de m’asseoir et de te regarder créer de si parfaites entrées.
Merci infiniment Helen, tu es mon petit rayon de soleil dans ces semaines déprimantes 🌞
Hugeeee love from France
THANK YOU! Boy this took a long time to read haha. Thank you so much for your kind words always!
Obsessed with your hand writing
Ahh thank you!!!
Have a lovely trip! My main "comfort viewing" show is Stargate SG-1 - it came along at a time when other scifi shows were kinda serious and heavy, so a show that was lighthearted (and sometimes slightly cheesy tbh) à la original Star Trek felt like a breath of fresh air. It takes a long time to rewatch, though, as there's well over 200 episodes!
Ooooo I will have to check it out! Thank you for the recommendations!!!
I have my first HC ready for 2024. I just can’t wait!! Is it January yet??!
I couldn't agree more, pretty little liar is soo bad and yet we love it.. truly bring back lots of memories
Happy Sunday Helen. ❤❤❤
Good morning Kimiko!!
Love your videos and the washi tape "challenge". Gives continuity to your spreads over time. As always, i learn something! ❤
Thank you Denise!! I agree!!
I am beginning to enjoy using fountain pens over gel pens. I think it is eco-friendly and you can find a lot of pleasure writing with it. I hope one of your upcoming videos would feature what journaling supplies you bring to your upcoming trip to Florida.
Absolutely agree!!! I'm glad you're enjoying fountain pens too!
I'm like you about prompts too, so I've never done a journaling prompt challenge either. 😋
I hear Preppy disposable fountain pens are good for beginners if you just want to try one out first before committing. There's also the Pilot Varsity ones too (which I've seen at Hobby Lobby if you're in the States).
I haven't tried a preppy before!!! I will take a look~
Hope you have fun on your trip, Helen❤ Also, PLL was one of my fav shows growing up, but now that the show is over and I’m older, I notice it was really dumb but still fun😂
Hahahaha it's entertaining!
I know you have a trip to Chicago coming up so I'd like to recommend visiting Atlas Stationers. I recently got a job there because I myself love talking about fountain pens! I wish I could show you around Chicago :) Please bundle up!
I just started Gilmore Girls and I think it’s gonna be my “cold weather” rewatch 😂 PLL is awful, but definitely a guilty pleasure of mine, too! I also started my fountain pen love with the Eco and I still LOVE it!
Love Gilmore Girls!
The new mic makes your voiceovers sound so soothing!!!
Thank you so much!
I haven't watched PLL in a long time, and now I want to watch it, and also I do wish I had a friend whom I can talk fountain pens and inks, and thank you for the inspiration about the five favorite songs from albums, might give that a go soon :)
Hahahaha join me!!! I feel like we would get along well!
I love that your fountain Pens are your children
Hahaha they really are!
Gilmore Girls is my cozy re-watch. (Never finished PLL series--it got to be too much. 😅)
I hope you have safe travels and enjoy yourself. I'm looking forward to your vlogs. ❤
I rewatch GG during the fall tooooo!
Same here!
The PLL commentary videos by Mike’s Mic (YT) are good for a giggle. Highly recommended. 😊
Love it
Thank you!
Nice video. Hope you have a good trip! ❤
Thank you so much!!
If ever you’re in Houston, we have a whole group that lives fountain pens 🥰
OMG I agree so much about Pretty Little Liars, such bad writing that it's good!
Hahaha glad I'm not alone XD
i also rewatch PLL once it gets cold,, for pretty much the same reason as you😂
Bahahaha glad I'm not alone XD
Awesome video, as always. Can you please send some a link for your gorgeous fountain pen and ink ?🫶💕
Your ink looks so dark. It’s surprising to me that this is an extra fine nib. 🤗
Love your videos!
Thank you lovely!
@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo 💜💜💜
Hi Helen
I love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing them.
For the FP, how is this EF compare to the EF of Pilot vanishing point? From this video it looks like the writing is thicker than with the EF Pilot. A asking in case I want to buy the Leonardo in future lol.
My EF Pilot vanishing point is so thin and scratchy on the paper even on TRP that does not make me want to use it much. Maybe it comes from the ink or maybe the nib is the issue. Sorry about my long comment 😅
Thank you Lise! In general, Japanese nibs are always finer! So this EF is likely similar to F Pilot!
PLL is what’s known as a guilty pleasure, although really there is no guilt and I prefer to refer to guilty pleasures as ‘brain candy’. Did you know that the TV show is actually based off a book series? I’ve not read them but might be a good brain candy book ☺️
Omg! You should totally read the books. In my opinion, the books had a better ending than the show did
Yes brain candy is definitely the right spin as it explains everything
Omg yes I know it's based off a series but I never read them!!! Your comment might be the push I needed haha
Loved the video! Great company for me trying to finish my uni work 🥲
Also, just wondering, does anyone have any advice on how to refill fountain pens when the ink is running low in the bottle? Like the types where you have to submerge the nib fully in the ink...? (There's enough ink to refill, just not enough to submerge the nib...)
Ooo you can get an ink well, or a syringe!
@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo I knew there had to be something out there! Thank you so much 😊 Will definitely be getting one.
I'm about a year and a half in on my fountain pen life and I'm so proud that I'm almost done with my ink bottle 😂
I notice you shift the page when writing on the edge where the prompt is. Is that so your hand can rest on the page?
Do you have any tips for writing on the bottom of the page? I can't use an a6 because of issues with hand placement.
Safe travels and loved to see your spreads
That is correct!
I never have issues with writing on the bottom of the page, but maybe you can get another notebook of the same height to use as an extension?
I wanna know your fountain pen.. can you give me the brand name or store link? :)
❤❤
✒️🖋️ Impressive engagement. I am rostrum-proposed towards the Leonardo Momento fountain pen. Give birth to not catch a glimpse of the multitude employing it since preadolescence. Conveys a vintage feel. Calligraphy enticements to me and that diatrus document black ink exists distinctive. The dichotomy I accomplished stood not like the expenditure promontory of $30. You like yourself but wonderful heirloom.

Where did you get your new pen from? X
Cult Pens!
So on the topic of teenage shows, have you ever watched Riverdale? I'm currently in season 3 and I love it!
I watched the first season! Never went onto the second. Shoudl I keep going?
@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo oh yes definitely!! It's insane!!
Happy Sundayyyyy!!!
❤❤❤

❤❤ hi
Love your videos. But one question, how is Pretty Little Liars a bad show. I absolutely love it 😍 One place where we will disagree
Thank you Jessica! Oh I just don't find the plotline and ending to be very good, although I still find it entertaining!!! I still love watching it hehe
do you ever have the issue of smearing your writing in the hobonichi with a fountain pen? I struggle with this, but it doesn't seem like you do TT^TT I am a leftie, but it sucks that I have to stop my flow of writing to wait for the ink to dry
Ahh I just got really good at not touching it afterwards, but I can definitely see this as an issue for lefties >.< I'm so sorry I don't have any tips!
Your voice is so thrilling. Can u make an ASMR video?
OMG!! “A” is gone. Hope it was for the best. sorry bestie ❤❤
❤❤❤ thank you!
Good morning, Helen!!! You know what I am so excited about packing emotis for the two THECOFFEEMONSTERZCO team members!!! (Caz in case you didn’t see my sticker book 📕 I save all my “packers” stickers and put them on my front cover !!! ❤❤❤I love your Sunday morning videos ! You are such a superstar to get so much done every week ! I hope you get some “me time” today! Love 💗 Jenean
I may or may not have bought 3 TWSBI ECO’s…🫣
Plus quite a few other starter priced fountain pens and inks…
You have not created a monster…not at all!
