Decluttering my journal and planner lineup 💖

[@alicem1111]

This was inspiring. I think I really need to take another look at my Hobonichi brand a5 covers and decide which are my absolute favorites. This is especially a good time because the previews will be coming out soon and I don’t want to feel bad about getting one if it’s awesome. I agree about covers on the Weeks. I don’t use mine as a wallet so the extra weight from the pockets etc is totally unnecessary for me. I picked up a black moterm leather cover for mine and was shocked at how heavy and bulky it made everything feel. I returned it and have used a COC for the last 3 years. Im also with you about not keeping morning pages. I love them, but it’s taking up a lot of space to store (I write a lot and in a5). I’ve been transitioning to writing in my a5 rings binder and I think I will recycle the pages after the year is up. I never meant to archive so many things and I find it easier to do away with loose paper for some reason. PS-I think that your inscription isn’t very visible/noticeable on the black cover if you do decide to sell it.

Oh, do I dare to ask what A5 covers you have 😅 I don't have any from Hobonichi because usually they don't carry my favorites in A5. So that is kinda something I'm looking for in every release if they would have a nice AND affordable A5 cover. Those can get pretty expensive... Yes! A naked or COC Hobonichi Weeks is the best 👍🏼 I think I started trashing my morning pages when I got my first moving box full and realized that nobody will ever have time to read them - nor that I would ever want anybody to read them 🫣 Maybe that is why I use spiral bound. That's easier to destroy than a bound book. I just take the spiral out and then I have loose sheets. That has worked for me, but A5 rings sounds good too. I enjoy A4 size - and probably wont change because I have now a nice vintage cover in A4 size. Thank you for your comment 😊

Hey, thank you for sharing. I'd use A7 for note-taking on the go, also there are notebooks you can write on in the shower (!) with a pencil (google Waterproof Notepad with Pencil), so that might be useful for the rainy weather haha. What's the price for the standard TN? I've always wanted to try one but they're so expensive... Also I think you can easily sell the Chic Sparrow with embossing because it's pretty neutral and doesn't contain any names.

[@Katiplans]

Yes, I was thinking about those waterproof notebooks and pens but they are pretty pricy… But that is an option. But then there is also winter with -20 Celsius so I don't know what would handle that... Well, for you there can be a special price if you really want the cover. But don’t buy it if you really really really don’t want it 😉 But you know how to contact me. You can throw an offer at me and I can then think if I’m ready to sell for that price. But I’m always happier to send things to a good new home than to just randomly somewhere 😅

A6 is my favorite. I have the same chic sparrow a6 in creme, but I got the stitching. I have it in b6 and a6. Love the creme leather. I think it would sale if u explain in the description the transition and languages used. 😊 I got the b6 engraved with “My Luna”. “My” (English) “Luna” (Spanish word for “moon”) is my doggies name. She’s been with us for 12 years and I love her very much. I also just ordered another creme a6 with riveted pen loop and white stitching, but in the chocolate color. I also had that one engraved with the word “Stargazer”. My spouse and I love to stargaze. It hasn’t arrived yet but I am excited. I switch my covers often, like I switch my bags/backpacks. But I wear the same shoes all the time for the most part lol. Which I think is funny cuz around me, women change their shoes out all the time, the way I do my bags and planner covers.

[@Katiplans]

Thank you for commenting and sharing something about you 😊 I would be okay with My Luna and Stargazer. I know a bit of Spanish so it's readable for me and I love the moon - and also to stargaze. I don't know if you know German, but the mein Leben means my life so it's This is it, my life, just do it, but this is it comes from an artist, who's name I don't dare to mention anymore and probably everybody knows where just do it comes from 😅 But I think I will keep it now for my A6 sized Q&A journals. I like that I have the pen loop to keep the pen and maybe the cover will grow on me now that I use it again. The leather is nice! I didn't know they still have it, because I haven't been following what they do, but it's always fun to learn what others love, when I share something new on my channel. So thank you for sharing a piece of you. These interactions are what makes this whole thing worth it 😊

It’s great you can sell some covers!

[@Katiplans]

Well, it's not easy. You have to put the prices very low so that someone would take it... But two I have managed to sell so far this round. Hoping for a few more still...

[@tortagialla]

@@Katiplans Sometimes I don’t really care about the money, it’s giving the item new life instead of just collecting dust. I am decluttering the house and it’s so much stuff! Not just stationery but I have 3 kids so it’s even more 😭😭😭 I am looking forward to your video about those other 40 covers you have though 😍

[@Katiplans]

Yeah sure. That's why I have sold some things for a very good price in my opinion. But I'm also in need of some shopping money, so I would at least want something in return 😅 But there are also a lot of other things that I just give away. There are just a few item groups that I even try to sell - stationery is one of them because I cherish it so much.

[@tortagialla]

@@Katiplans It is nice to get some fun’s to get new items! I also realize the weirdness of wanting to declutter and then buying more stuff LOL 😂

[@Katiplans]

🤣 But I do feel that I have a limit that I can tolerate. So if I want 'more', I need to 'declutter'. I don't thrive if I feel that I have too much.

[@tuxedoplanstoday]

are you going to list what you are selling on a website or mercari

[@Katiplans]

I started with a local (read Finnish) Facebook group. That's the only place where I have listed stationery so far. Some I have been able to sell when I have been contacted due to a video I have made. But if I'm not able to sell more expensive items in that small FB group, I need to think of something else. Maybe try some other FB groups for specific brands.

[@tuxedoplanstoday]

@@Katiplans I have posted mine in mercari and just finished selling one batch I am eyeing your A5 Fabric cover. How much are you asking for it ?

[@Katiplans]

You mean the one with the elephants? Not much, I just lowered the price to 5 euros + shipping. Inside Finland that would mean in total 10 euros. I have never used mercari, so I'm not familiar with it. We have other local platforms to sell used items.

[@tuxedoplanstoday]

@@Katiplans Oh i live in USA that may end up being expensive for me :( I LOVE THE ONE WITH ELEPHANTS. i love ur channel by the way lovely content

[@Katiplans]

I checked and it could even come with the same price or max 10 euros for shipping with economy class. I'm just more worried about the customs declaration how I would manage that. I have never done such thing 😅 Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰
