I LOVE how you set up your week for journaling. Never thought to do this for my journals. I haven't been journaling lately but I really wanna get back into it. I do agree that there is a alot of shame in the planner community for not sticking with ONE planner size/style/layout, etc. Thank you for the reminders & for sharing. ☺️

[@LizSchultz-wm9kx]

Robin your right, new products always are coming out and I too want the new things but sometimes you just don't have the money for everything that comes out!!!! You're very Creative!!!! 💞🦋🦋

[@talksfromtheheart]

So true! And thank you!

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

I’m a Planner Babe as well. I’ve been purchasing stationary for many years. My old job back home started it back in the 80’s when Stephen Covey used to travel to big corporations and talk to employees about The 7 Habits….(need I say more). Listen, if you enjoy the love of good paper, beautiful pens, and stickers galore, journal, plan, and do what you do. The thing about planners, daily timeline pages, etc, is that you can reuse, and use it as you like. I’ve never been shamed because I do what I want, because I purchased them. Even if you don’t, you can repurpose your pages. I’ve got many friends here on YT that won’t shame you about what you do with your planner. ❤😊

[@Indigobasil]

Hi Robin, thank you for the video. Very inspiring! Also, I have similar feelings about simplifying and “do what makes you happy”. I worry because the question for me is always “why does it make me happy”. More times than not, my purchases are a substitute for a bag of chips so I try to be mindful of those times when I’m just feeling unsatisfied. If I don’t deal when I’m feeling unsatisfied, either my hips or my credit card will suffer.

[@catewatrous2131]

Amen to that! I do the same thing. So now before I reach for a cookie or my credit card, I ask myself, “what am I really feeling here? Am I grumpy, anxious, restless, sad? What action can I take to change this feeling?” Very rarely is the answer to eat or spend money.

[@Indigobasil]

@@catewatrous2131 so well stated and you made me laugh about the very rare answer! I 100% relate!

[@mrsrilling]

I love this hobby. All of it, and the possibilities are endless, but my income isn’t THAT plentiful lol. Love your set ups , I have an impulse to go to Planning with K’s shop, those little critters melt my heart. I love Becky she’s fun.

[@audreyhertz301]

This was a fun video! A few weeks ago, I was at a local theift store and found a mini binder and then found a filler planner for it (2023). Total cost less than $3. I plan on buying some white out and trying it out as a budget planner for a year. I just felt like it was time to switch it up. And I'm on a tight budget since the move, so this was just the right price.

[@talksfromtheheart]

That is awesome!

[@bestlaidplans2024]

Love reusing old planners! We're bound to see something that makes us wonder if it would work for us, while having at least a small stack of older planners no doubt. That's a lot of free real estate 😏

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

❤ Oh, and would you believe I’m a crocheter as well. Yep, I have planners for my patterns as well. See, the possibilities are endless. 😊 Hope this helps everyone that feels, well, stuck in a planner funk, and you don’t know what to do.

[@brandiepoulin1771]

Awesome video! Everyone in this journaling, planning and scrapbooking community loves all the new items, and stamps for me! Don’t be afraid of white space- it’s your darn planner and use it however you want! I use the same rule for my scrapbooking! It’s about your own creativity and yes unfortunately being financially responsible (darn it 😂) ❤ love this video! Keeps me thinking to destash more 🥰

[@talksfromtheheart]

So true! Thanks for the encouraging words

[@Gy14JMKb]

I made the mistake of purchasing all the planners when I started this hobby, and now I have too many & I’m loosing my mind! Where do you sell your planners? 😵‍💫😧🤬😦

[@talksfromtheheart]

If they are used I would say they aren’t sellable. If brand new and dated from a previous year you could redate them. But this is the sucky part of this world is there are few places to sell them. Maybe try a Facebook group.

[@linkedinroses9447]

I sell on mercari

I tried to do the whole journaling thing probably in 2019. I wanted to do the whole do my own art and hand draw all the things. It lasted 2 months. I was so slow, and the art (used posca pens and watercolor) would just smear and transfer from page to page. The journal had mixed media paper in it, so it was not supposed to do that. I was so frustrated that I walked away from journaling. I tried to pick it back up here and there and fall flat on my face after a few weeks. This video on take-a-note...I am excited so try that style. A few lines, a few stickers and the whole month is done.

[@talksfromtheheart]

Great! And watch for a soon video I’m working on about journaling

[@kelzbbygirl]

Most definitely Robin! I’ve even been considering going back to stalogy’s cause of all the freedom we have in setting up the weeks. Love how you’ve been setting up using this layout ❤

[@talksfromtheheart]

Thanks!

[@plan.withlisa]

Don't know if this is aloud but I also have a KZbin channel where I do videos on the take a note a5 planner I love it for journaling but great idea to draw out myself in an a5 stalogy I can get them a lot easier here in the UK xx

[@marylublankenship6398]

I really love your handwriting! ❤

[@talksfromtheheart]

Thank you! 😊

[@Jessi_Plans_Life]

Beautiful pages Robin! Love the ideas! ❤

[@hannkg7715]

LOVE this! what a great idea!!

[@talksfromtheheart]

Thank you!! 😊

[@marythetford4764]

Such a great idea and video. Maybe it could work with an A5 rings. I may try it. Thanks Robin.

[@talksfromtheheart]

For sure it will work!

[@emilyeaton94]

Great idea to make your own!! Really excited to see how it comes along!!✨ I've been craving an A5 TAN too (it's going to be so popular next year....hope they triple their production!!) Posted an iso in a few bst groups and was able to score an A6 (it just arrived yesterday!)

[@talksfromtheheart]

Oh fun! And if you don’t want to buy it it’s easy to make for sure!

[@Mrs.WarmWaffle]

Nice! I like it! Did the exact thing with my hobonichi notebook in A5 this year. Had a Take a note last year and loved it, but didn't have the money to get one for 2024.

[@robinmonson6333]

YES!!!! SO with you

[@pamjournalcreate]

Great idea 🤍 . i love becky’s videos as well

[@patriciadimarco8378]

So cute

[@yureliplans]

😍😍 thanks for sharing

[@ivettemartinez6684]

I love this idea of the noted.I ordered from Alvie too and I’m waiting to receive my first subscription.

[@123scrappygirl]

Beautiful! You did not put any of the shops in this description

[@ajbee1065]

I have thought of getting a Stalogy and creating some version of a Hobonichi or one of those other daily bound planners.

[@talksfromtheheart]

It’s a reasonable way to go and easy to try. This is where I get my stencils which makes it even easier. www.etsy.com/shop/Kathiesplanning

[@MainerChick]

I was going to try a take a note too, but they're sold out. I was thinking about making my own as well. I think we are all thinking about 2025, I was, in February. 😂

[@talksfromtheheart]

Me too haha. This is easy to make!

[@MainerChick]

@@talksfromtheheart I figured. Maybe for 2025 I'll do my own for a journal.

[@user-ku2pn4ym9k]

Where are the rings in the planner?

[@talksfromtheheart]

???? Not sure what you’re asking

[@tracyburcham7350]

I want that pink ostrich planner cover! Where can I get one?

[@talksfromtheheart]

It’s fake and in my Amazon store front but currently out of stock but you could try to find it on Ali express

[@YoungStar263]

Can someone send me the subscription info for the June sticker layout please? Alvie something?

[@talksfromtheheart]

[@talksfromtheheart]

Sorry I forgot to include the link. If you order other stuff you can use code Alvie15 and say I sent you. Her kits are wonderful!

[@ccbarr58]

Is this just a blank book or did you put the pages in?

[@talksfromtheheart]

It’s a blank Stalogy.

[@catewatrous2131]

What a great idea! I recently cut down some pages from a planner I started but won’t finish and turned them into inserts for my pocket rings. It was very satisfying to create a new planner without spending any money.

[@talksfromtheheart]

That’s great!
