I don’t see a hemlock and oak on discs on their website?!?!

Thank you for the shout out. I love the look of those step stickers and I want to use it for everything in 2025. And those ribbon stickers are perfection!

I’ve never even looked at Aura Estelle. I love your process and you always figure out what works for you and then you do it brilliantly.

Thank you for posting this!! Definitely going to watch some more of your videos. I like being flexible between decor and functionality, but it’s not often to see pretty and functional. Love it!

Im between hobo cousin and HL also considering HP mini.

So pretty. 😍

I love your unique minimalist but decorative planning style.

Love those stamps and stickers ! Looks fantastic!

Love seeing/hearing your process. The combo of green Xmas decor with those red bows are adorable. Can’t wait to see what you choose to plan in next year x

I enjoy watching your process (as always). Thank you for sharing. Have a safe and wonderful holiday season🙏🏾

Lovely pages Julie! I don't like red either. Lol

Do you use the daily pages in the hobonichi cousin?

What planner are you using in 2025?

Can I send you my Cousin to decorate for me?

Half letter planner! Small discs, tons of flexibility and lightweight! Then creative plan in the H&O!

I ordered my first hemlock and oak for 2025 (vertical weekly) but I struggle with the same thing in a bound book!

Thank you for sharing! 🥰 Such great advice about trying new things! Who cares if it doesn’t come out “perfect”. Progress…not perfection 😎 Loved all your layouts. 🎉

What is the name of the tool please

Hi Julie! Thanks for all your thoughts and inspiration! What ink are you using to stamp on the sticker paper?

Which Louis cover are you using that fits the cousin?

Congratulations!!! So happy for you and your family!!! Love that you could be together to celebrate!!!!!💞💖

OK, you're journaling is contagious! Q for you...What size covers do you use for your hemlock and oak discbound? I find that the half letter are too small. Can you link where you get yours?

I can definitely relate to this! I've made my decision, and yet I keep rehashing it over and over again, lol.

First choice for me is the Hemlock and Oak. I bought all three versions. No other planners for me this year.

Where did you get that cover

I like the paper in Hemlock and Oak. It’s thick and totally fountain pen worthy. That’s why the books are heavy. I love these planners.

Fabulous love the graphics.

I can totally relate to the feeling of being ¨stuck¨ in bound books lol. I always find myself going back to a half letter on discs. But then my TN is always calling me back. Though I am intrigued by the B6 size. Especially the paperless, though I wouldn't last a whole year in one! Overthinking her too. Lol

So fun to take a peek at your pages! I always gain so much inspiration and ideas from your videos, thanks for sharing!!

Love listening to you and going through your planner options. You’re approaching these decisions very thoughtfully, always offering bits of wisdom for us❤️❤️

Thank you for talking about this. I have been trying to mesh my creative side with my planning side and found they just do not work together. I ride around town for a week or two, depending on how boring life is, and then I transfer my planner information to a larger journal planner. I bought pretty much everything Sterling Ink, but I’m writing an N1 horizontal full year size planner and memory keeping in there. My N2 is for around town and has some creative stickers but it probably is because I’m trying to cover up any chaotic thoughts in an attempt to appear normal lol. I canceled so many planner purchases. I really wanted to buy a take a note B6 for work but I already have an undated planner and need to stick to it since it has about 46 more weeks of unused space…. I don’t need to planner hop but maybe I’m just borrrred haha. Nobody really needs more than maybe 2-4 planners, but we find ourselves buying one or two extra and feeling bad about it.

For your Hemlock & Oak, if you are near a Staples, they will neatly and quickly trim off the binding for just a few bucks.

love to hear it! we all overthink - i use discs & love the all-in-one concept..and being able to add different inserts as life develops! great video! new sub

What the heck!!! This is brilliant. I have so many of the Studio Calico digital kits that I get when they're on sale!

This video was the perfect way to end my day! Loved being able to see how your amazing creative brain works. Thanks to you I found the planner I will use in 2025 (fingers crossed 😅) Can’t wait to hear more and see what you decide. 😘

Hi Does the Daily Hemlock fit into the LV Desk Agenda?

Interested in the paperless b6 if you have it available for sale 😊 good planner conversation !

I have been doing my own overthinking so I completely relate. I am going to try very hard to stay in my $11 cheapo weekly and then just get a blank journal for a daily log. I am set until April if I continue to do that.

You would probably love Sterling inks B6

I keep some plan and graph Tamoe River paper on hand in case I need to cover a page but have rarely had to. I love the pre-planning in Hemlock @ Oak

Please keep me in mind if you de-stash the flex cover H & O! I missed them

Every time I watch one of your videos I feel seen 😂 it makes me feel better to know that I’m not the only one struggling to decide and flip flopping between options. I have purchase multiple and I still can’t figure out what I want to use or what will be “best” for me next year. Thanks for sharing 🤗

Hi Julie! Love your creativity and thoughts. I struggle as well. I took apart my cousin and kept the weeks portion for 2025. I love discs as well and have thought about going that path but I travel so much so a book bound book works better for me. Going to go back to my roots with journaling and follow some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing.

It's like watching my brain in your video, haha. I can't help, but... yeah, same.

I'm going half letter for 2025! I loved watching your half letter videos when you were last in it, and last April I set up an experiment. Experiment is still going strong, so I quit fighting it. But I'm in a tizzy trying to figure out my journaling situation, along with some tracking and 'when did I lasts'. I am currently considering bullet journal, but all that set up has been a bit of a struggle these last few months, so... I dunno! I'll figure it out. Thanks for this video, and letting me relate!

Are you suffering from planner boredom, or does your system or method need tweaking? I see a lot of people just taking the same old problems and putting them into a different book, expecting different results. I'd set them aside and not think about it until after Christmas. Let your subconscious work it out. Then, the week after Christmas, sit down and decide what your brain needs, not your feelings. Just my 2 cents after watching a lot of videos like this and doing an overhaul myself. BTW, your videos helped me understand what my brain needed and kicked off my overhaul, lol.

I went pretty much fully digital for the second half of 2024, and really love it. Sometimes I need to just pick up a book and write something down, though, especially at work, so I ordered the Hemlock & Oak pre-punched half letter inserts weekly and undated dailies. That will hopefully just be what I need for a quick grab and dash planner for this year.

Love to hear you overthinking 😆 I’m quite happy still in B6 and can’t face changing at the moment. I don’t really understand all the love for Hobonichi 🤷‍♀️ My money is on the half letter that you can customise

Lols I just love this so much, Julie. I can't say I can relate, but I don't struggle with perfection in my planner. My planner is my safe place - it's not going to judge me because I needed to scratch stuff out or use white out. But I love how open and honest you are about this and that it does take thought about what you need from your planner/journal. I also love how self-aware you are. Look forward to seeing what your decision ends up being!

I totally understand about you only really needing one book. I just can’t see myself working in so many books the same story. My life is boring I wouldn’t have much to document lol.
