"do peer pressure in a positive way"
me, hearing that: *removing the things in my cart *
excellent
"Like peer pressure but in a positive way" I died 😂
and suffer together XD
A tip to reduce stationery hoarding :
- stop buying packs of pens and markers instead buy loose stock or single pens when you need.
It also saves a lot of money.
(Personally it helped me a lot.)
Btw I'm also going on a No buy!
also, try asking someone to buy for you (using your money of course) so that you don't go to buy a pen refill and end up buying every single stationery item that exists on amazon.
Some time ago i had really bad habit of buying stationery just to own it (i know this sound stupid). I quit that habit and gave the stationery i didn‘t need to my friends and my brother. I now just buy stuff i really want to have and i know i will use and it saves so much money! I recomend putting the things you want to have on a list and let it rest for a while, when come back to it after a week (or so) and if you still want the stuff you can do further planning when and where to get it :) I‘m in for the no buy!
same boat. i used to spend a lot on stationery just to have every limited edition for satisfaction but now i don't buy any stationery since i have enough for tens of years
i do something similar when buying online! i'll put the stuff that interests me in my "cart" but then i'll leave it for a few days to let the excitement of browsing wear off, and then delete all the things that i'm not still excited about getting/know i need
@@calvindogwhistle-coqui3673 I swear this is the magic trick to stop yourself from buying useless things!!
Yes! Having no money helps too. I rarely carry enough money to buy extra things so that has cut down on my useless expenses as well.
@@calvindogwhistle-coqui3673 OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE LIKE THAT!!! I put the stuff that I want in my cart and then I leave the things for a few months and when I finally bother to sort them, I delete most of them and only the stuff I need remains.
my stationery collection looking at me like:
👁👄👁 sooo you’re gonna actually use me and not just keep me for aesthetic purposes
me: 🧍🏻♀️
i am in this youtube comment and i do not like it sjdjdjdj 🤡🤡🤡
I felt that...
I feel called out 😂😂
I-
Honestly this is really great. You're the only "study related" TH-cam I enjoy watching, as your channel isn't focused on only aesthetic notes and stationery, but auctual functional advice that people can use. Thank you so much, seo! 💕💕
I went on a no buy back in 2019, and I was successful for 11 months (kinda gave up in December by buying a few sweaters lol). Even though I didn't complete the challenge, it was the BEST decision I ever made. I learnt so much about handling my money, and now I'm focusing on still using up what I have. I haven't bought stationery in 2 years :)
Since you give sweaters as an example, do you mean a no-buy for everything? like no new clothes, makeup and stationary?
Im doing this too! My storage system is overflowing and overwhelms me when I'm looking throught it.
me, watching this: I should buy some textsurfers
don't!!! go on a no buy w me instead haha 😂
as a old time stationery lover, i have this rule: i don't buy things i already have in a similar product because i can save this money to get another product that is different and more unique, my tip is maybe you really like to buy these things like me and just saves money in other places, but it's just no fun to only buy the same thing, like if you really like pens is just not that fun/interesting to have 50 purple ballpens, when you could have had 50 different pens, so in the end of my long monologue i say if you wanna buy your textsurfers buy it but be smart about it, because money and the world resources are limited, so yeah sorry i talk a lot
@@Faboostic Sometimes it's good to try out a few pens and see which ones you like. For example, if I hadn't bought the zebra sarasa (despite already having pentel energel pens) , I wouldn't have known how good of a pen it was.
Last I knew this was my collection. And I thought I didn't have that much stuff...
100 colored gel pens (give or take a few)
10 black pens
7 highlighters
3 packs of sticky tabs I rarely use
5 blue inked novelty pens
7 folders (I use 2)
7 school notebooks (using 2)
12 other notebooks (7 slightly used)
4 binders
Yeah I definitely need to manage my money better. The only thing I constantly use up is regular sticky notes and maybe 2 notebooks a semester.
Seo you are definitely the least obsessed stationery youtuber out there don’t worry...unlike other channels you don’t overdo the stationery thing which is what I and your other subscribers like about you
she has a lot lol
“there’s no better bonding experience than suffering together” 💯
I’ve started doing this for 3 months so far and I realized how many pens, Highlighters, and I have so SO SO SO MANY MEMO PADS WHY?! like I had a super bad addiction to buying washi tape and I’m probably set for life. I decluttered so much and I still have a ridiculous amount. I mainly did this because I’ve grown an interest in minimalism and I’ve honestly felt like a stationery hoarder. I’ll cheer you on because sometimes I still get tempted by the cute memo pad designs 🥲 but I look away
ngl the beginning seemed like a typical "youtuber apology" with the sigh, but I like it
😂
I now have “actual full-sized switchy switchy version” replaying in my brain
this is off topic but omg I absolutely love the arrangement of plant decorations behind u!!
- honeypot films
Same!!! And hiiiii!
same! It’s super aesthetic ✨
you’ll have more stickers to add to the 243 when you receive my package 🤣 but the counting and tallying seems like a good idea tbh
ikr but at least i bought it in 2020 and not in 2021!
Me watching this after placing a stationery order 👁👄👁
ah hello, nol pfp :)
After watching this, I counted how many markers I had... 1592 markers. MARKERS. like, CRAYOLA WASHABLE ONES. THE ONES YOU BUY IN ELEMETARY SCHOOL. Was I the only one that bought like a full size brand new pack of markers every semester? yes? ok then...
I don't really have much stationery, but I don't want to accumulate more for this semester. I hope to finish all my stationery (notebooks, papers, pens, etc.) especially since I'm transitioning to digital notes.
On a lighter note, we need more people with a similar mindset as you do in the study community. Thank you so much!
USA is going up in flames but I'm excited to watch this video lol! Can definitely relate to having way too much stationery, and I might take inspiration from you and limit my buying
felt that
@BLINK SWIFTIE
Do you really not know? If I understand everything right the basic summary is there was an attack/riot thing by trump supporters on the capital building in dc which is one of the most important places in the USA. It’s got a lot of people here upset/worried/angry right now and it’s been all over the news here.
Honestly, my stationery collection is too big. I've been collecting pen, brush pens, stickers, and etc. since starting my ever own bullet journal. I'm going to join you on your journey on not buying any new stationery products this year!!
Yes, since I started Bullet Journaling my stationery collection expanded extremely! In the beginning I felt like owning certain types of markers (eg. Mildliners or TombowDualtips) was a requirement. I also own so many stickers and washi tapes now. Something I never bought until I started Bullet Journaling. Honestly Seo's amount of markers, etc. didn't really feel that much ...
“switchey switchey” ~ seo
Hey Seo! I love this idea, in the last year I've realized that I own waaaaay too much stationery and even with my 4-5 penpals, bujo, other journals, and schoolwork, there is just nO way I'm going to be using up all of it anytime soon. I had already planned on not buying much this year but this was just that little push I needed to go as **all the way** as I can! This is my final year of uni (yikes) and although I don't plan on stopping journaling, I just don't need to keep buying things because I just like them. This year I plan to only buy things I absolutely need, and that's only if I actually need them. We got this!
Seo!! This is so inspiring!!! While I'm not sure I can commit this is def making me realize how insane my stationery is and that I can def cut down/ go on a no-buy for some items. Thank you for making this video!!
Watched this vid 3 years ago when i had very very less collection now going on a no buy lol but surprising thing is that i gave way things that i didn't like but had it coz it looked good or i just wanted to own it i gave it aways to my dad 45% and 20% to my sister that cleared most most of my stationary fr and to use up remaining i have a aim that i gonna finish stationery i already have so that i can get new ones in extreme case i bought pens for example i bought use and throw pens for last year exam coz its necessary and completed all my use and throw ones all in all this no buy gives you a description of what we need
Thank you very much seo for this no buy really helped aloooot❤
this is where the good phase of the study community starts! good luck seo, you have everyone's support ❤
I totally agree about the over consumption of these products (although not judging those who do have a big inventory). Buying cute stationery and supplies is wonderful, but definitely hope that people continue to use up what they have and either sell or share with loved ones!!
Girl! I am with you! I literally went through ha stationary binge buy when I started bullet journaling back in 2018 and I wish I had just stuck with the basic crayola pack lol. 2021 is the year of just using up the stuff you thought you wanted to figure out the things you actually need xoxo
I'm joining you! I didn't actually think about this before you made this video but now, for the sake decluttering, I'm going to try this. For items that I really need, I'll try to go eco friendly too!
I love how considerate you are!! 💕 it inspires me to be more considerate myself 🥰
I love your vids! They really help me so much .
I've actually been doing this for the most part through my last semester of high school and first of college!! (Minus folders and white out and sticky note refills ) I love stationery and I'm starting to get a lot because of how I'm currently experimenting with works the best for me, so far I found the perfect match of black gel pen for me, color pens I'm still figuring out. Once I know 100 percent what's the best fit for me I'll sticking to these products and avoid buying unnecessary stuff. Its actually been my plan since I joined the community. (Just to be clear I haven't been buying boat loads of stuff XD just a pack of pens or something small because my storage space is limited lol)
Same! I'm in my junior year of high school and I found my favorite black/colored pens (both Pilot Juice 0.38) three years ago and I've never bought another pack of colored pens and only buy the same black refills. I recently figured out I don't use bright colors at all anymore and only pastels. Best of luck with your journey to figure out what works for you! :D
yes!!! also planning this no-buy- stationery this year after realizing that i still have unused supplies. love this video 😍
I love this video! I find it especially inspiring that you’re doing this given the fact that you have this channel partial dedicated to stationery. It motivates me to truly make decisions for myself this upcoming year 🥰
I really appreciate you being conscious of consumption and encouraging others to do the same!
You know seo, you are making me more responsible and accountable and I love this about you. And yes I'm joining you in no buy. Let's save money yayyyy 💜
this is such a great initiative. totally in this and not only in terms of stationary items but other things too
Definitely joining you bc I got you beat on black pens 😩😩. This is such a nice video tho bc I need to use up my stationery collection before going to college!!
i love everything abt this message,, thank you seo for being the role model that we all need in this study community!! overconsumerism is definitely a problem that unfortunately isn't so easily detected on the surface, so thank you thank you for taking that first step towards sustainability with this encouraging vid!!
there's no better bonding experience than suffering together
agree with that
omg my intention not to buy any stationery this year is SOLIDIFIED bc my favorite youtuber is doing it as well 🥺🥺🥺
"If you also have a bit of a stationary addiction, I think you should join me"
me who's planning to buy more cute stickers and stationary items online: ✨Suddenly I can't hear anything✨ 🏃🏃🏃
It’s 2022 and honestly I’m gonna try join this! I’m a bit of an addict in the sense that I just love stationery and I love trying out new things, but this has inspired me to narrow down my usage and figure out what works best for me! I’m starting my no buy today and thank u for inspiring me!
the title cards are so cute seo!!
Ok but the lil stationery doodles are so so cuuuuute!!!
what an eye opening video, thank you Seo!! I will work on reducing my consumerism in 2021 too
Starting my stationery no buy today! Thank u for inspiring me!
Tracking what you pay is really quite good. Lots of people go "oh its just £5" ....but that adds up over time. Trying to save money when you purchase something and trying to use what you have is really important
Yes!!! I am totally going to do this for 2021, it's my last year of high school so I might as well go crazy on my notes with my hundreds of pens and markers before uni :)
This video honestly the highlight of my day thank you! ♡ 🥰
What a great idea! I’m going to tally up what I have too because I have a lot. I also want to do a no-buy for stationery. I don’t know if I can last a whole year but we’ll see. Thank you for reminding me to use and enjoy what I already have 😊
i am happy and proud that you're doing this because this can influence people that new, better, or more expensive things is not the answer to being a good student! Less being a conspicuous consumer and more of a conscious consumer :>> yay
i love the way u speak!! ur so articulate aaaaH
I’m happy that last year I only bought things I needed (I bought an iPad Pro but I did have that has my 2020 goal & saved up the money for 2 years~) I decided to do digital notes due to online classes (but I do take in-person classes but I take paper notes). I’m going to join you in the no buy stationery! But I will buy me my flash cards cause I run out often for my terminology 😅!
This video was super inspirational! I am going to tally up my stationery right now! Thank youuuu
btw your sweater is so cute! 🤍
I love what you do, I think you have a good impact on the community 💕 and this especially; sending love your way
thank you 💕💕💕
@@tbhstudying ㅠㅠ you're very welcome 💕 I hope you're okay ^^
i used to buy quite a lot of washi tapes and maybe a couple of brush pens but without realizing, i actually went on a stationery no buy for 2 years (woah 😳) (and maybe for more years to come) and looking back at it now, it was definitely worth it bc 1) i don’t journal as much as before; 2) the only thing i ever ran out of was my black brush pen 😂
So glad I stumbled upon this video! After doing some general cleaning over the holidays, I just felt really bad after realizing that I have a stationery supply that's gonna be good for a few years. Now I'm feeling at ease that I know I'm not the only one who felt this way haha but srsly, I'm gonna do a no buy challenge, too. Thank you!
Oh my God! I'm so happy you are doing this. This is what we need. We need realistic and practical things shown to the people. Instead of the very "high" class lifestyle shown which is not what everyone can afford. I'm so happy and proud of you!! Love you ❤️❤️❤️
its inspirational to see how dedicated you are to your goal to reduce consumerism by your efforts seo. i might try doing this too!
thank you so much!
I just recently told myself that I need to start using my stash instead of hoarding them . I am also going on a no spend this year - like you, just buying what I need for medical school & if I run out of supplies that I really need . I never thought I had this much stuff either until I recently moved . I think I will be donating 50% of the things I have and try to use up the rest of it . Whatever isn't being used half way into the year , I will end up probably donating them to those who would like them .
Tonight I am binge watching your channel . I just got back to school so I am in need of a refresh . Thanks for sharing with us and being real when it comes to a hobby like stationery items . We tend to run with whatever we see and not think .
I definitely need to do this too. I also have so much stationary that I cannot keep track of all of them, so sometimes instead of going thru my stuff for things that I need, I just buy new one 🤦♀️. I’ll update tomorrow after organizing them tonight.
i love this idea !! i don't really have that much stationery, but hearing how much you spend on stationery motivates me to reduce the amount i spend on buying supplies haha
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW EXCITED I AM FOR THIS OMG
i love this!!! will be doing a stationery inventory asap 😂🤍
I love this, I've been frustrated with people always buying more and more things knowing that they won't use it all :)
Joined the no buy grp and the positive peer pressure grp. :)
The most Honest StudyTubber , I wish i can give u an award for your Honesty ,... Love
i definitely need to do this! i have so many pens and markers and EVERY YEAR I SAY I WILL USE IT UP AND I NEVER DO! 2021 is the year i do it!!!
hi update- i counted and i have 516 pens and pencils and markers. 😳😳😳 i have a problem
even as a person who is lower middle class, borderline working class, i would love to go on a no-buy as i do have enough stationary and don’t need any more supplies to get me by, so i think i’ll do this too!
watching ur video made me realized i've been doing the no buying action ~somehow~ cuz i really havent bought new stationeries aside from black pens and i'm still using the notebooks that i bought from last school year 👁👄👁
also, this is such a great idea to save extra money from not buying stationeries that u already have somewhere in ur room and waiting for u to finally use them :,,)
Same ❤️
Can’t wait to use this idea
I will follow your example girl! No buy stationery for 2021. I have a smaller collection but i can definitely save money. Thanks that was a wake up call even for me.
I'm def going to cut down on my stationary! I got a new laptop because my old one broke and now I'm looking at all of my stationary and what I actually use. this is excellent inspiration
I literally bought new notebooks yesterday 😭😭😭
thank you for this video!
Now i have decided to go to stationery no buy this year.
Ouuuu, I love this so much!! I stopped buying excess art supplies when a little before I started university back in 2018 and only bought supplies I either needed for classes and/or knew was going to last me a long time (brushes for watercolour painting).
Before that I bought dozens of disposable multiliners and pens for illustrations and sketches which after all these years I'm finally using up and have switched to or switching to refillable versions of. (Fountain pens of which I only own 2 and a brush pen).
Luckily, my university has a reuse depot where students can drop off materials and supplies that other students might have a use for, so that also helped me reduce all my art supply clutter. (I can't wait until lockdown ends and it opens up again).
Needless to say, not spending carelessly allowed me to save up for important things I wanted to get: drawing tablet, online art courses, animation and manga textbooks books, manga, videogames. And definitely am much happier which my purchases these days because I only buy things I have been waiting to get for months/years.
This is my 2021 goal as well!! I have realized I have so much stationary and I'm not using it to its full extent.
i actually LOVE this idea. your videos have opened my eyes a lot to how much of a stationary-hoarding problem i have lol!!
I will try my best to do the no buy!! buuuuut idk how long i'll be able to last because unfortunately new stationary has been a huge coping mechanism for my ADHD (especially during this pandemic) so i may end up caving :( also we love that adhd impulsivity...rip lol
BUT at the end of the day i think being more aware of my stationary buying habits/wasteful spending has (and hopefully will continue to) helped me decrease it a lot, even if i can't cut it out completely
...the amount of money she spent in a semester can pay my entire university fee 😀
I never thought of this and I love the idea-I’m in! I’m terrified of doing the inventory bc while I’ve always thought I’m not that bad, I get the feeling I’m going to have a lot more than I thought I did, especially stickers and washi. 😅 I’m actually excited about this now tho so yay! :)
I am taking this challenge seo !!
Plants behind you are pretty 😍
I am most certainly doing this. I know I have more than enough stationery. I keep buying and buying things I do not need.
youve inspired me seo! i know i have an absurd amount of stationery so i will join you in this year of suffering and not buy any stationery when i could simply use what i have
Same here! Let‘s do this ☺️
yessss join me!
I didn't have money to buy (jobless highschooler) but I would always feel bad about not having stuff and want different stationery. I do appreciate the few products that I have as gifts or that my mom graciously funded, but ever since I ended up with an iPad (gift) it feels like a lot, so I will definitely be participating! I love that you and this community are recognizing this and it makes me feel a lot better about the emotions I felt at the time!
Hey Seo! The plants behind you look amazing
tysm! my mom and i dried them ourselves!
i'm really proud of you for doing this seo!! and for counting all the stationery - the dedication omg. i loved it when you put it into perspective using chipotle burrito bowls LMAO i do the same thing but with mcchickens. i'm always like "hmm i could've gotten 13 mcchickens with the money i spent on all these stickers." i don't even like mcdonald's tbh but mcchickens are good
i'm also going on a no-buy for stationery and other nonessentials this year!! i already have all i need anyways (partly thanks to winning one of your charity giveaways - i can't thank you enough!!) but i'd still like to reduce environmental waste and save money. a tip i have for anyone who is considering going on a no-buy is to keep track of the stuff you buy and how much you spent on it - this really helped me notice my spending habits and identify the stuff i spent too much on!
Rewatching your no buy videos, because I want to do a low buy in 2023!
Low buy, bc I'm still allowing myself to get things within specific rules/boundaries😊
I think it's also time for me to do this. I graduated college in 2019 but last year I was still buying so much pens and notebooks even tho I have no use for them. I actually discovered your channel when I was in college and I also cried bc of the new Muji pens 😂 I was so bummed that I didn't hoard back then but tbh until now I haven't used that much. Thank you for the inspiration, Seo.
I recently got into journaling so my stationery collection has grown exponentially. Luckily I caught it early on and my condition is that I can't have more stationery then what fits in my storage container. If my storage container is full then I can't buy anymore until I make space by using what I have. My contained is very close to being full and I know I have some more orders on the way so that's it for 2021!
I- this is mind blowing...
I aimed to be minimalist last year but just ended up on buying more stationery, just with more minimal designs lol. good luck for your venture! I'm also feeling the need to just buy what I only need because m o n e y :'>
I love all the limited edition pens available and some I got on clearance. I really like the limited edition pencils because they last me years and after I buy one I just need lead. Same for multi pens. The refills can be expensive but if they’re on sale they’re not bad and are less wasteful.
I feel this! Definitely going on a stationary no buy for this year too. Colorful pens, stickers, and washi tape always tempt me, but moving back home has made me try to use what I already have, especially old but very usable supplies like crayola markers, colored pencils, and even crayons! Let’s suffer together, but I think it’ll end up making us able to live with less, and less is more :)
I’m doing a no buy too! I’m not viewing it as suffering or taking something away from myself. But more as an opportunity to save money and use up the things that I love :).
You are right. I don't need more stationary and I do feel bad whenever I kinda still get some. For me, it just holds a special place in my heart. It was something I was bonding over with my grandma, who has passed away. My mum never understood our obsecion with stationary so it was just something me and my grandma did. So it reminds me of her.
Another part of it was to fulfill my childhood dreams of having certain things we couldn't afford when I was younger.
Anyway. I really have everything I ever wanted and dreamed of, so I should stop buying some. I will wait for some things that I've ordered to arrive and that will be it. We will see how long I can make it. lol. One thing I will get later in the year however is probably some aquarell paints since I always wanted to get into that :)
As you said, let's do this together :)
Loved it! We have to stop buying things we don't need!
I bought some stationery a month ago, but this video inspires me to do a no buy this year. I’ve spent probably around $150 on my current stationery collection and I haven’t even used half of it. My 2021 resolution is being intentional with my purchases
Thank you for saying this, this is truly something I should think about it more! I feel like I already have way too much and still feel like I need more and more stickers... oops.. But yes I'll try!!
