Sterling Ink's 2025 Planners will have darker ink, dated dailies, and half-years!!!!!!!! So I'm guessing those changes will really get you excited to use it. Sure does me! I'll be trying out an A5 Common Planner, switching from the A5 Hobonichi Cousin Avc.
@@DiaMerazDia, the common planner with dated dailies won’t have weeklies so if those are important to you… you’ll have to keep dating your dailies I’m afraid.
@@VidaLiterati You just verified what I had to research. I need weeklies as much as I need those daily pages, so I will date them myself. No matter what, I just can’t have it all, LOL. I’m leaving Hobonichi in 2025 for this common planner/Sterling ink because I am so excited for a cleaner more minimalist experience. I’m done with all the quotes on the bottom of all my daily Hobo pages.
@@BohemiAnnA I don’t mind the quotes but A5 is too big for me and A6 is a bit tight and I have to condense my thoughts too much. As someone with AuDHD, I need space to jot down my thoughts and make lists without being overwhelmingly huge so the B6 is my sweet spot
You’re one of the planner TH-camrs I really love. You know what you want out of your planner and make it work for you. Your layouts are some of the ones I’ve adopted in my own planner. 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your planners. You have inspired me to try something new. I have been downsizing from A5 to B6 Slim and I try to incorporate family appointments and household projects and everything else imaginable but I would like to have a small one. Just the family and the little things that happen on a daily basis that seem like nothing but fill our lives in abundance. I love how you made the small one and it is simple. Not too much but just enough. I am also not one that uses stickers and pictures but I genuinely liked your approach. Just little things here and there that remind you of that day. I love it! Thank you ❤ I will try it and I know it will make me very happy 😊
There has been a huge problem with the paper this year in the Moleskine books! There’s a TH-camr (moxie something) who went through probably 5-8 books and some paper bleeds and some doesn’t; she was thinking it had something to do with the color of the tag in the back pocket? I don’t know if that’s true though. Moleskine says it hasn’t changed, but some books it’s definitely different. I ordered 5 pockets off of amazon and couldn’t get one with paper that didn’t bleed. It’s pretty wild.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me! I thought I was dong something different and just not realizing it 😆 I purchased both of mine off of Amazon. Maybe I will have better luck next year.
I’ve heard that the ones sold on Amazon have lower quality paper. Not sure how true that is but there is definitely difference of paper in different books. I had the same issue
I've used Moleskine off and on for years now, but the paper was so bad this year that nothing worked on it except ballpoint pens and pencil. So disappointed! Moved back to LT1917.
And I feel like the grids are getting even lighter at the back of the planner 🙁 The ghosting doesn't help at all. Hopefully that will be better in 2025. I am still debating on whether I want to try again.
Love your video! May I ask if the non-square grids bother you on the SI (or do you even notice it)? And, is it hard to write on the full year because it’s so thick? I’m trying to decide if I want to purchase a full year TN size this year but am worried about those things. Thanks for sharing your systems!
Thank you! I honestly don't even notice the non-square grids, and in the very beginning of the book it can be weird to write because the notebook is thick, but I usually slide another notebook under it to even it out. Hope that makes sense. Also, I use the B6, so I'm thinking that the thickness might affect a narrower book a little more. I hope that helps!

I didn't even realize that her daily pages are dated for 2025! Thank you!

@@VidaLiterati Oh my gosh! Thank you so much. I didn't catch that 🤗 Weeklies are very important to me.

Thank you so much! I am so happy to hear when someone finds inspiration from my planners. 🤗
When I grow up, I want to write as neatly as you! :) Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your Gedi!

I loved it!! Loved seeing your planners and journals! TFS! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Not me listening to you mentioning a run club and realizing you're right next door. Peoria, AZ represent!
🤗 Yes! My kids lived in Peoria and I still go there all the time to ride my bike along Rio Vista new River Trail.
The light grid is the only thing keeping me away. It’s super difficult to see.
And I feel like the grids are getting even lighter at the back of the planner 🙁 The ghosting doesn't help at all. Hopefully that will be better in 2025. I am still debating on whether I want to try again.

@@DiaMeraz It totally helps - thank you so much for such a quick reply! Wishing you the best!
Where can I find those bookmarks?
I get mine at Jet Pens. They are the Midori Chiratto Index Clips 🤗
