From Standard TN to Personal Rings | A Flip and Why I Switched

[@StefaniaSez]

“What if there’s an investigation” I’m CRACKING up, that’s exactly where my mind goes too! “What if 10 years from now I NEED to that I was at the grocery store that specific June morning?”

[@talksfromtheheart]

Right?! You get it! Haha

[@GenericAccountVLR]

@@talksfromtheheartY’all are not alone in this. 😂

[@zombifiedninja4665]

oh good lord, i never expected that laugh lol. i accidentally snorted the water that i was drinking. i just love it when people laugh and have so much fun making their videos. its such a joy to watch and to listen to.

[@just4funideas269]

I absolutely LOVE your video❣ Your planner set up and your laugh 🤣it makes me laugh too, something I really needed❣ Thank you 😍

[@CorrineVictoria]

I love how relatable you are!! such a breath of fresh air 🫶🏼

[@ugl1w0rds]

Your laughter has made my day …I lol with you- did the mind good…following

[@sharonsmith975]

Omg!!! I bought that dollar tree pen also!!! Love it! I bought 3! I am right there with you Robin😂❤️

[@talksfromtheheart]

Right?! They work so well!

[@vernabailey3671]

I also am in recovery, but I think I NEED a personal ring size. Lol. I love your humor. Great video.

[@talksfromtheheart]

Thanks for watching!

[@CS_2306]

OMG that first pic in your rings of your kids when they were little made me LOL for a good minute. So funny and adorable!! Your daughter looks so happy!!! thanksfor sharing! 🤣🤣

[@talksfromtheheart]

She’s always like that! So cute! Thx for watching.

[@dorapatrick8797]

I love your laugh! Such a fun video to watch. I wish you all the best with your health. To print double sided is easy if you have the "two-sided" option on your printer.

[@talksfromtheheart]

Oh yes I know and I do not have one that prints double sided I may need one next year

[@keriokahenkle7041]

I got a good laugh at your son in the back seat. I enjoyed your video and love your talks. It made me subscribe! I so understand the BG numbers! The hobonichi weeks is my jam. This is the exact reason I quit my personal rings. Now I feel like if I can get the inserts, I can move back into it.

[@lollipopguild3853]

I just love your videos! You’re like a breath of fresh air. You’re so down to earth and funny. I also enjoy you being you! Blessings 🌸😊

[@talksfromtheheart]

Thank you so much!!

[@Little_luna11]

Yay long video! I have only recently found your channel and have just been really excited to binge watch your videos. I enjoy your flip through videos very much. You are such a sweet person, and I'm pretty sure you not only brighten my day, but everyone else's too😊❤

[@The19mari73]

Same here!😊

[@talksfromtheheart]

Thanks so much and welcome!

[@breloreal]

I love your word choices “smackerel” and “girthy” your videos make my heart sing lol

[@talksfromtheheart]

Oh thank you!

[@barbaraeddings2274]

I just found you and I am so glad!!! New subscriber. Love your creativity! Looking forward to more videos.💕

[@talksfromtheheart]

Oh welcome! Thank you for the kind comment.

[@ugl1w0rds]

We had a cat named catfish too! He’s gone as well but not forgotten ❤

[@talksfromtheheart]

Oh cute name! I miss Tuna Fish every day

[@SandyD]

Robin, I love your channel and your sense of humor! :) I have to say, your laugh is just like my oldest sister's laugh. She passed a few years ago, but every time I hear you laugh, it makes me think of her, and it also cracks me up! :P Love your personal rings, too! Thanks for sharing all of your cute stuff.

[@talksfromtheheart]

Oh thank you!

[@ErinR0618]

Love your chit-chatty videos, and how you giggle at the pictures. I love the one of the dog in the front and the pecking order lmao!!!

[@talksfromtheheart]

Thanks yeah they make me laugh

[@teddiematteson]

I love your videos! This one I especially loved because it was nice and long, with lots of pictures of you, your family, and your friends. You are a joy to listen to and view ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@talksfromtheheart]

Thank you

[@amyalphabet722]

"you guys correct me, I'm sure someone will" -- oh my gosh, I laughed so hard! Loved this video, it is just fun and helpful, thank you!

[@talksfromtheheart]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thx for watching

[@driftybreeze]

I get it Robin, I do the same thing, I love to collect!! And want all of them. 😊

[@mysharyna1741]

Came across your channel when researching the Gillio ring binders. I think you are a hoot and a half and I subscribed! PS I love seaweed kisses's channel as well and I may or may not have bought a years worth of those pen & gear notebooks lol!!

[@talksfromtheheart]

Oh welcome! And me too! I had to have Them!!!!! Thx for subbing!

[@makp1805]

What a fun flip! I love how you use a variety of things to make it uniquely yours. Thanks for sharing your planner - while I like seeing pretty planners as much as anyone else, I really appreciate seeing functional planners that show interesting ways they’re being used, and yours checks off both boxes for me. I, too, have just made the switch from a TN to a discbound notebook for many of the same reasons that you did, as well as some sneaky perfectionism that was holding me back from brainstorming in the TN booklets; the removable pages totally eliminated that roadblock for me.

[@talksfromtheheart]

What a great way to say that! Thanks!

[@BridgettOwens]

Love the video. I love all the planners and journals too. Strings, rings, discs, and bound! I just want to mention that I have a similar punch and love it. The locking mechanism works when you squeeze the handle and then lock it. It makes it compact for storing. ❤ Love your video as always Robin and I am getting ready to start my health journey and know you will get back to a good place with your journey as well. It ebbs and flows.

[@talksfromtheheart]

Oh thanks for telling us this about the punch!

[@Dreblueskies]

I too over complicate EVERYTHING along with over thinking!! Love hearing you talk about this, much of it I can relate to. Rings have always been my side piece but never my full time gig, I just feel nervous to dive in which is so silly. Smart to save one, I have sold 2 planners I deeply regret selling. Great video 🙂

[@penny5616]

The pink punch… if you push the top part down it will then lock. It makes it thinner for storage. Love that punch!!

[@talksfromtheheart]

Thank you so much

[@kawaiijots]

Haiii and good day☺️ Happy Saturday & Happy First of the Month☺️…just found your channel (& subscribed☺️) …and I absolutely love your personality & everything about your planner (& everything in between☺️) Have a super great rest of your weekend and stay safe *super hugs*

[@talksfromtheheart]

Thanks for subbing! And I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos! Welcome to the family.

[@sandragiardino697]

lol love your sense of humour

[@michellealdrich]

I love using my covers to store inserts and dashboards 😊 SUPER satisfying to flip through. TFS Robin 💖

[@talksfromtheheart]

It really is! As always thanks for watching

[@wildhorses1776]

U r my favorite planner channel to watch, thanks for the good fun + laughs ❤

[@talksfromtheheart]

Yay! Thank you!

[@noraatkin6384]

I want to say that I have what you feel you are the only one going through this issue. I love to collect things and I want everyone and everything I see and love it all!!!

[@talksfromtheheart]

Yep!

[@experimentalbaker]

Not to correct, but mil is a measure of thickness. I love the new crocheted background. Very nice! I have been watching you for a long time, you have come a long way baby! You seem so joyful. I enjoy your videos. You are just so down to earth and funny. Love the pink nails!

[@talksfromtheheart]

Oh you’re right! Thanks for the info and the kind words!🩷🩷

[@brandiepoulin1771]

Love your video! 😍 I have that colored planner and many more colored B6/personal planners but I also use an A5 planner that sits on my desk and when I don’t have stickies I use a blank TN for lists! ❤️ trying to destash this year but I am addicted to Cocoa Daisy right now…. Need to budget, lol!!!

[@renmo3974]

Collection obsession! So that’s what I have! Great video.

[@talksfromtheheart]

Yes! I dub you officially diagnosed lol

[@EricaPaperpen]

Super fun watch! Thank you for sharing. I'm currently splitting monthly/weekly/daily planning and notes out from my wire-bound TN frankenplanner into a personal ring planner as well as a pocket for on the go. I'm taking the plunge!!

[@talksfromtheheart]

Have fun!

[@melissaintheclouds]

Nessie has such a great vibe! Love her and you too, darling.

[@tuxedoplanstoday]

marvin looks like my son BOBBY. all ur photos are super cool. your set up , pet photos ALLLLL OF THEM amazing.

[@blackgirlhappyplanner1973]

We need a Planners Anonymous! I'm also in recovery! 😂😂😂

[@td02fe]

I notice you tend to go back to rings after you dabble with other setups. The best part about rings or disc is the flexibility and customization you can do. Love all the decorative inserts that personally mean something for you. To me planning should not just be functional but also enjoyable. If something doesn’t work change it up. I’m trying to decide if I want to continue in the a6 Hobonichi avec of jump into some rings.

[@user-xe4vu5nx1s]

Excellent video, Robin.

[@talksfromtheheart]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thx

[@HappilyPlanningWithKaren]

Hi Robin, to start with I thought you were opening a mini bottle of wine 🤣😂😂 I thought you go girl 🤣😂🤣 oh well, there is always next time 😂😂❤❤

[@talksfromtheheart]

Oh gosh! I had to give that up when I found out I have type 2 diabetes😢

[@yolandafernandez8799]

Today as I write. I posted my standard size covers on the BST groups. I went down the infamous rabbit hole. I found a personal or pocket size fit into my current lifestyle. I'm a homebody as well, and early retired. I had everything and the kitchen sink in my standard, heavy brick that can used for self defense 😂. I need to STOP! My life shouldn't be surrounded by my planner. I was creating random lists just to create something, however it doesn't burn calories 😅 . My life should and will be simpler and less filledby the consumerism mentality that took over in that rabbit hole!! I'm in recovery with you!❤❤❤❤❤

[@talksfromtheheart]

Sometimes we attach ourselves to something we value during big life transitions. So show yourself some grace. Retirement is a big transition!

[@mrsfoxezplans-akatonifox1315]

I can’t believe it but I really needed this video right now and I do love Nessie from Nessies plans. Like I think we all do I have several chronic health shit going on I have fibromyalgia and CRPS so living with chronic pain constantly my journaling and planning and my you tube channel are my outlets. But that being said I’m in a planner funk and about to travel from Australia to Pennsylvania for a month to visit my son and grandson. And I’m fighting with what planners to take and I want a change in my edc because my books are not working so I’ve shouted myself for my up coming 60th birthday the CP Petite and I love rings but I love A6 size so it’s my sweet spot and being able to switch out the inserts to suit my life appeals to me I find personal a bit too narrow. So I’m going to be doing a video showing my thought process. Thx for the inspiration again Robin 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@BlossomHomemaking]

Beautiful setup Robin ❤❤ I also loathe printing my own inserts 😅😅 Mine look just like yours bc I have no clue how to print on the back 😂😂😂

[@talksfromtheheart]

Same! I hate it!

[@tuxedoplanstoday]

SAME I LOVE EM ALL

[@ghostyplans]

I have the same pink puncher and I LOVE it. It’s so small but makes all the sizes.

[@lwright622]

Hi Robin, I also noticed that you have a Moterm personal rings in your Amazon shop. Are you happy with yours? Did you have a problem with the rings matching up? I really want to get a Malden but the price is so high and this will be my first time using a personal ring planner. I have an A5 Filofax and love it but obviously it’s too big to take along in my purse.

[@talksfromtheheart]

I’ve never had issues with any moterm that I’ve ordered and I’ve had personal, a6 and pocket. If you’re not sure of the size look up the inserts and cut paper for samples. Maybe you might like even a smaller size. Or go to peanuts planner co freebies and print sizes out there. The moterm are great!

[@kristenmoore3049]

So I’m thinking about doing rings for the first time in years! What is a similar size but wider pages?

[@talksfromtheheart]

A6 rings or you can do Franklin covey inserts or do personal wide inserts

[@SweetieDeBusca]

I Loooovvvve your laugh! 🤣

[@mspaco52]

Will you be selling the Moterm TN? If so I would be interested.

[@talksfromtheheart]

Probably not right now but they are under $30 amzn.to/4bY1EdU

[@catewatrous2131]

I love your laugh!

[@ungluedmom]

Before you add your pop socket to your kindle, make sure you test out how you actually hold it while you read. Mine is mostly centered, but lower down. ❤

[@talksfromtheheart]

Thx excellent tip! I didn’t think about that.

[@ungluedmom]

@@talksfromtheheart I didn't either, but it definitely doesn't just go center like most people place them on their phones.

[@briteddy9759]

Question on your daily or weekly lists: If you complete a task not on the list, do you add it so you can check it off? I do!

[@talksfromtheheart]

No I don’t and it’s rare there is a “task” that’s not on one of the lists.

[@gabriellecole9415]

I had to laugh with you because I watch way too much True Crime and keep all my planners for the same reason. At least I am not alone in my nuttiness. ❤

[@talksfromtheheart]

Right?! I think what I will need them some day!

[@anicame2]

Awh my favorite part was the pictures!

[@NurseMissa]

The locking feature is only to lock it closed.

[@katsmith8263]

That's exactly the same reason why I used the pocket rings for 5 years

[@annettefertitta6868]

You probably have to close the punch to lock it

[@nessieplans]

You are too sweet! 🥹🫶🏻♥️ Love it all!!! And I’m running to Amazon to get that hole punch!!!!

[@michelledinan8915]

I will pray for you too , while I pray for myself,... I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM 😂😅

[@talksfromtheheart]

Thanks!

[@Teachmond]

Girlfriend can we talk . I’m in a rings a TN and Hobonichi for Journaling. It’s crazy . I also want every thing I see.

[@talksfromtheheart]

That actually sounds like a reasonable line up.

[@Teachmond]

@@talksfromtheheart lol Im working on finding my grove for the rings . I just received my Motorm in beetred.

[@JoleeLovesIt]

Same …ew pretty! ❤ ugh 😂

[@imaginaria.journals]

I know you said it in the video, but I didn’t quite catch it… where are the bow tab/dividers from? Pls help 🥲

[@talksfromtheheart]

If you are asking about the little ones that stick up? I made those. You can get the bow stickers at Simply Guilded and I believe I have a link u see the video.

[@imaginaria.journals]

@@talksfromtheheartI was actually talking about the one divider you show on 22:19. I googled what you said in the video but couldn’t find it… help 🫶🥲
