It is funny. Here in Germany thermo isolated products from Stanley are respected by hunters and workers. Expensive but good

Thank you. I would like to do this too.

How do you reference or index previous entries / journals, so you find specific topics or ideas?

Hi 😊 im 54, and i journal since im 9! And i have never seen someone explain the benefits of journaling as well as you do in your intro! Wow. Thank you for sharing😊

Great video!

Thank you so much for this information. I love the 4-sections idea. Will be using it in my journal.

Clown feet LOL!

What CHANGE would you use a journal for?

Leuchtturm for me. Don't know about the moleskine but the last 16 pages in the leuchtturm are perforated for easy removal.

I have both Leuchtturm1917 and Moleskine notebooks - to be honest, I didn't realize that one of my notebooks was a different brand until a few days ago when I was looking for Moleskine alternatives, saw LT1917 recommended, and then noticed one of my notebooks WAS one. I had it buried away in my desk because I'd forgotten about it, but I've since pulled it out and been writing in it to fill it up. It's about half-way full at this point, maybe 2/3. My thoughts! - Leuchtturm1917 has better paper in general, and especially for Fountain Pens. Fountain pen ink tends to be quite wet, which I've noticed will cause bleed through regularly on my Moleskine, which I'm not a fan of. Even with heavy writes, swatches from a cotton swab, and really soaking the page, I haven't seen my inks bleed through on the LT. When it gets really wet, they'll definitely warp in those places, but never bleed. - I'm a dot grid kind of guy, and both my notebooks use one. The Moleskine's dot grid doesn't have any margins, whereas the LT does, which I like. I also like the pagination at the bottom. - The bookmark being longer on the LT... This one threw me off for a second. Why is it so long? I don't like the length when it's closed! Then I realized it's a great length for being able to pull the ribbon all the way from corner to corner and still be able to keep a good grip with thumb and two fingers, which makes opening the book with the ribbon a lot easier. I almost trimmed it, but decided to keep it. - The cover material and spine: I've noticed that the LT has held up better generally. I've had both notebooks for a while. The LT has been with me through a move, and has definitely been something I've carried around and written in for nearly 4 years. The first entry in it is dated early 2021 (in fact, I found this out because I was looking for samples of my old handwriting, before I started using cursive, and lo, there they were. I started that notebook in print, and transitioned to cursive primarily using it). The cover material is a bit softer on the LT, I think both are considered a fake / patent leather / PU leather, though the Moleskine's generally has a harder texture to it. I like both, but I prefer the LT. The spine is an interesting one. This is also partly about the binding in general: The LT's spine is flat, and has remained flat, while the Moleskine's had a slight curve to it (I think... I hope...) and over time a large crease has formed in the cardstock of the spine, where it has basically bent. Also, opening the Moleskine ALWAYS results in a cracking noise as the spine is extended, whereas the LT is silent, and I think this is mostly due to how the spine's binding is connected to the covers. Bonus thought: I appreciate that you included some context for why you're pronounce "Leuchtturm" as "Loistrum", From everything I've been able to tell, your pronunciation is close, but there's a couple subtle differences with how German is pronounced, especially in this spelling. The first syllable's vowels are pronounced sort of half way between "oi" (that oy sound) and "ai" (as in the word "daimon" (pronounced closer to die-moan, "ai" in Latin based languages makes kind of a long 'I' sound) - however, German is definitely not a Latin language, so unfortunately neither of these will work, and we have to listen for something that's kind of close to both. So the first part of how you're pronouncing it is certainly close enough. Regarding the second part, where you're saying "strum" (S instead of an SCH, and RU instead of UR) - these aren't quite how it's being pronounced. Because German has different pronunciation rules than non-German speakers are used to, it can sound a little blurry hearing a German speaker saying the word. Really what's happening is that the "S" sound you're hearing is produced by the CH, and it's closer to how we might say SH or SCH, like the word "shush", but a bit more glottal / mouthy if that makes any sense. The UR part gets sort of blurred together. Saying it as an RU (trum) is certainly close enough, but it might help to think about the "turm" part of the word as sort of one big thing. I'm not sure if I'm explaining that well at all... There's a helpful youtube video about how to pronounce this word which seems like it's probably extremely close to how the employee you heard was pronouncing it, but will be more clear, with slowed down versions too, if you're interested in digging deeper. All that shit said: who really cares? Pronounce it however you want. Your pronunciation is certainly extremely close already, and is a lot closer to the "luke-term" way I was saying it before this video.

Wonderful and minimalist.

Great content. But, geez that moleskine paper gets worse by the day.

Thank you. I think this will work well for me.

I think for people who actually draw out their own planner structure- just that act, before actually putting their plan into the planner, helps them to visualize and do that pre fontal cortex executive function planning.

Really great ideas; thanks for sharing!

Love the layout!, this has been my Achilles heal. I am a noob and journaling, have tried so many methods and I’ve over complicated the layouts which has detracted from keeping a method. Thank you!

This is a great setup, i love it❤ could you name some examples for systems you would need to reach goals? Is it like habits? Thank you.

I enjoy your videos! The content appeals to me and I like your presentation. Informative and relaxing.

Learn a new language could go in the blank box.

You could add water to your list, and in the blank box you can add do something special for your wife or kids. Something thoughtful that doesn't cost anything, that brings you closer to your family. 😊

Genius!! I have several beautiful journals that I can turn into planners!! I love it, and I love the idea of Journaling on the right page, and if you run out of room, you write on the back page! Thank you for sharing!!💜

Terrific. Thanks for sharing. Also it's neat to see a husband & father sharing planner/goals tips.

What a great idea! Thank you.

Great assortment they sent you. I love Field Notes. I'm a terribly organized person, bad ADD. Been trying to use these for a while now to collect my thoughts. Love the Log Book, but that larger notebook has my interest peaked. I collect lots of different brands of pocket notebooks. FN are my fave.

"Let the future determine the present, don't let the present determine the future". That really resonated with me, thank you!

This is a great idea! Thanks! Blessings

Great video. Thank you

Hey, Nice ideas! Don’t you miss an index?

The pilot G-2 .38 is what got me into pens, and the fine point pens themselves. Highly HIGHLY recommend the Uniball 207 ultra micro.

Brilliant setup! 😊

I love your channel and your ideas! Thank you😊

Great idea. I really adding the savings goal tracker. Since your planner/journal has multiple sections, I was wondering, what are your thoughts on traveler's notebooks? I've used them in the past. I like them, but sometimes I find them a little bulky to take with me on a daily basis.

I'm curious as to what you specifically journal. i.e. daily happenings, news, thoughts, feelings, etc.??

This is such a great setup. I am thinking about the extra categories I might add. One thing I also want to track better this year is my family’s wellness - dental, vision, medications, medical history, allergies, etc. thanks Carsonial!

Great video but I don’t like (respectfully, you do you 😊) the notebook you are using as the pen ghosting through the paper looks awful to me. People want different things out of their notebooks and not getting distracted by what’s on the next page is high on my list. I have an A4 folder (lever clip, not rings) that I can insert printed monthly calendars, weekly overview sheets, financial trackers, and other things as needed. Because they are printed templates I imagine I save a lot of time in not having to draw them out into a notebook. Is mine a notebook? No, but it is highly personalised and has space for journaling, to dos, and other personal and professional needs and isn’t that what everyone is ultimately seeking from a notebook really?

Niceee

I have been a "DIY Planner" for almost 9 years, but I was always afraid to do it in a bound book because I made so many mistakes! I used a disc-bound notebook from Levenger for years, but now that I have "found my groove," I am ventured out into a bound-book because they are so much more compact and easier to carry around! I still want to go smaller, though, so will be trying out Field Notes in 2025, but I will likely carry 3-4 at a time in a leather cover, so I can section it out to meet my needs. One thing I always keep in my planners is Family Contact Information (because I can never remember street numbers and zip codes, and sometimes need it to fill out forms), Prescription Medication List with websites and/or phone numbers for ordering refills, List of Birthdays with Gift Ideas, and contact information for Medical Professionals and Health Insurance Claims/Customer Service. As always, love your content! Practical and concise!

Thanks for making this follow up video. I too began my journalling search by finding something that could combine productivity and faith. You give some great tools here. Does your journaling items ever make it into your digital world? (notes app, calendar, tasks, etc.)

Hi from Germany, I like this set up and I will try it in a notebook in a5 size. Do you write your daily to do's in this little field notebook?

Great video! Thank you!

What ideas do you have for this?!

Great video! I am struggling years over years about using the right planner. I think I have tryed out (and bought🙈) nearly everyone. I am 57 and I love paper. I would love (!) to get everything in one planner. So at the moment I use a Filofax in A5. I love the organisation in it. BUT: I would love it more without rings, make this sense😅? In my Filofax I have a place for everything and it is so flexibel. But I don't like to archive my year in a ringplanner. I would love to get everything in one book. I do journal in a notebook, plan in my Filofax and for crazy days I also use another notebook for my to do list. I cannot remember how often I've wished, that I have everything in one notebook. Send you warm greetings from Germany 😊.
