[@torionpaper]

Not me just now realizing I spelled Fortnight wrong at 11:25 😭 please don’t come for me Swifties I swear I’m an ally 🫡

[@yzziru]

unfortunately the gamer brainrot has gotten to me and i accidentally spell it that way every time :') even though i live somewhere where it's a common word

[@annettefertitta6868]

You’re fine, just think of how it will make you chuckle in later years - we all do it accidentally and anyone who tells you they’ve never made a mistake is either not telling the truth or not doing a whole bunch of

[@toyahbush2917]

11:50 love this idea! A shift in perspective like this can be so beneficial!

[@torionpaper]

Thank you so much! It’s been helpful for sure. Thanks for being here ❤️

[@contrapasso]

The dog you painted is beautiful!

[@torionpaper]

Thank you so much! It's one of my favorites for sure.

[@evelientx]

You have really inspired me to get this, I just ordered it for 2025! I wont use it as a planner (like appointment and to-do wise), i had already gotten a simple one that i'll use for that. But im planning on using this as a memory journal/diary for the year and log all the things I do and memories i make and keep little notes etc like you have :) I also want to use it to track my reading, make moodboards related to books etc :) im so excited!!

[@torionpaper]

Ah I am SO excited for you! It is such a great book for memory keeping I'm sure you are going to love it. Please keep me updated when you get it and let me know your first impressions!

[@annettefertitta6868]

Awesome idea to add your daughter’s little word, wish I’d have been journaling when ours were little. It really is true, kids say the darndest things

[@torionpaper]

She really does! I love how silly they are

[@annettefertitta6868]

@@torionpaper I’m a speech pathologist and our youngest daughter had more Emilyisms but our favorites were: Scrungebob, yogrit and Oh-lives - of course I had to work with her on them (they wouldn’t be cute when she was 10) but those were her words! (She’s 25 and now an Environmental Engineer working with water distribution projects- she’s glad I showed her how now 🤣)

[@LeoGirl80]

I love seeing so many creators planner hopping this year! It’s great to see everyone willing to explore and find what works best for them. Moved from Hobonichi to Sterling Ink (and back to Hobo, then back to SI 😂) in April.

[@torionpaper]

Yes! As a viewer myself I love seeing people switch it up sometimes but when it comes to myself I’m always nervous so it’s reassuring you feel the same 💕 thank you for being here! I’m glad your SI has been treating you well :)

[@BlushnBlue]

Loving your black and white strawberries. Also, the I believe it is a Doberman drawing looks great. That drawing reminds me of my two Dobies. I've always love PaperTessDesigns font and used to love her printables for my B6 Stalogy. Planner looks great and thank you for sharing.

[@torionpaper]

Thank you so much! I’ve never tried her printables but have nothing but great things to say about the books. Thank you for being here 🩷

[@MCA580]

Thank you. Lovely book 😊 The strap on the opened Malden can tuck under the pen loop to keep it out of the way. The occasional blank page looks nice too. xx

[@torionpaper]

Thank you for the tip! I appreciate you being here ❤️

[@dropslemon]

oh the papertessdesigns planner is GORGEOUS. if they had an A5 size I don't know that I'd fully be able to resist, myself

[@torionpaper]

It’s SO beautiful, I think she does have an A5 version? Unless it’s sold out but I’m sure she will for 2025. Thank you for being here ❤️

[@annettefertitta6868]

I like watercoloring on this paper too and although I liked the OG Tamoe River paper, once I got used to it, I now prefer the new paper

[@TheCommonCorner]

this was so interesting to watch, especially as the layout of the book is chronological, with the months, weeks and dailies all slotted in as the time goes on! I loooove how you've done your daily pages as well~ such a beautiful flow through the book💌 and eekkk! thank you for the little mention of my channel~ unexpected but so appreciated! ❤

[@torionpaper]

Thank you so much! Means a lot coming from you ❤️ the chronological order is very different but so far I am liking it! Thanks for being here 💕💕

[@Wholelatteplans]

I used the papertess for most of last year and looooved it!!! It’s a beautiful book and I’m so excited for you! It’s gorgeous already!

[@torionpaper]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad her shop is getting more love. Thank you for being here 🩷

[@annettefertitta6868]

I like thinking of blank pages as interludes. Another thing that has helped me from @theroseylifeplanner suggested that blank pages sometimes me you are out living life!

[@torionpaper]

Ooo I like that thought too, that’s super helpful thank you for sharing 🩷

[@irocktallsocks3126]

Your planner style is what I’ve been looking for as inspiration and I just discovered this beautiful planner. I’m so excited to try this for 2025!

[@torionpaper]

Thank you so much! That means a lot and I’m happy you’re here! ❤️

[@samanthalissette_]

I really like the B6 size but my issue was the weight carrying it around. You made it look perfect!

[@torionpaper]

Ah yes I could see that, I think a half year B6 book would be perfect! Thanks for being here ❤️

[@knitwitchcraftingpodcast]

holy cow, that dog painting at the end is amazing 🥰

[@torionpaper]

Thank you so much! One of my favs for sure. I hope you had a great weekend ❤️

[@annettefertitta6868]

I did not know that personal rings might fit a B 6 but I’ve got some collecting dust - awesome idea!….

[@torionpaper]

You’ll have to let me know if you try it!

[@Enthusiasticallydawn]

I love the format of this notebook. If she has Sunday Start, I will be getting!

[@torionpaper]

I’m so glad you like it! Thanks for being here ❤️

[@hannahclark8313]

Very nice!!! I really enjoy your style and appreciate you sharing it with all of us. ❤

[@torionpaper]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you being here 🩷

[@WendyInMD]

I have been looking for a planner that keeps the days with the week and weeks with the month. I don’t do well with horizontal weeklies, but in terms of organization, this makes a lot of sense to me.

[@torionpaper]

Yeah it’s been really nice to have things bunched together chronologically! A lot of people who enjoy bullet journaling seem to like this book for that reason to. Thank you for being here :)

[@annettefertitta6868]

B6 is one of the of my favorite sizes!

[@torionpaper]

It’s so good!!

[@Jojournals90]

Oh my goodness that painting of the dog is incredible! I love the b6 size as it’s just that perfect go between (can you imagine if Hobonichi bought out a b6 next year, the planner would will go into chaos) thank you so much for the shout out! Your planners inspire me too ❤❤

[@torionpaper]

Thank you so much! Omg if Hobonichi came out with a B6 the community would burst into flames. It truly is the perfect size. I hope you had a great weekend!

[@missfl0werstar]

I've been trying to figure out how to make this happen in an A6 (my best solution so far is cutting up a Weeks and tipping the weekly page into an A6), I'd love for her to make one for next year. That weekly overview is a game changer.

[@torionpaper]

Ahhh this is such a good idea!! It would be soo helpful in the A6 book. Thank you for being here 🩷

[@vianeygomez6973]

Omg I’ve had Woke Up on repeat too!! I was literally watching their live performance before this video lol 😆

[@torionpaper]

Ahh it’s so good! I didn’t know XG even existed until Woke Up came out and now I’m obsessed with them!

[@Jane42.]

Love all your varied ways to use your pages. Very inspiring. I am interested in the idea of weeks with dailies collected right there. I am using a Cousin right now, and I think I would use dailies more if they were right there. I might give this planner a go in A5. Looks like the undated yearly A5 has all the months together at the front, which is fine with me. And July is a perfect reset time for the second half of the year, right?!

[@torionpaper]

Thank you so much! It’s definitely a different layout but so far I have really enjoyed it and it’s been fun to flip through. If you end up getting one please let me know how you like it!

[@ChantelleArts]

wonderful video, watched and enjoyed till the end ☺☺

[@torionpaper]

Thank you for being here! I hope you had a good weekend ❤️

[@NoeHernandezPe767]

It's so funny how Megan Rhiannon has everyone in the planning/commonplacing community on a chokehold, years ago filofax was like for old office people or moms, but now every millennial and zillennial has something to say about it

[@preciousharper8322]

I’m a millennial and you are so right, I’m constantly telling my boyfriend how the planner community is and its’s a love/hate thing for me. I grew up always having a diary and using my mom’s old date books. I remember the Mead five star and the Franklin Covey . I started actually using them for their purpose when I hit middle school in the early 2000s. Now I cringe sometimes at the hype but I’m also guilty of it.

[@torionpaper]

Yeah I think Megan has really opened the doors to the community and has definitely contributed to its inclusiveness. I think she’s so loved because she offers such a unique perspective compared to a lot of OG and “traditional” planner channels. Her impact has done many interesting things to the community for sure.

[@lindyredmond9838]

You mentioned in one of your videos the Preppy pen and the Pilot. Which nib do you recommend? When i looked to buy one there is fine and medium nib. I use the Hobo Cousin book so which is best for that? It will be my first fountain pen. Thank you

[@torionpaper]

I personally like a thicker nib, I have the 03 and 05 size in the platinum preppy pen. I think 03 would be better if you are someone who is used to more fine nib sizes but if you like really bold THICK letters then the 05 is great

[@annettefertitta6868]

I really loved this video!

[@torionpaper]

Thank you so much! Thank you for being here ❤️

[@annettefertitta6868]

@Lainey Allatt inspired me to start using.magazine pics, travel items in my journals (she’s a college student in or around London… I might just put some of the exquisite Princess Diana in some rather than keeping the dusty magazines around lol

[@torionpaper]

That’s such a great idea I love using ephemera in my books it gives them such a cozy feel 🩷

[@ellesbooks]

Late to the party here but, I love the idea of seeing blank pages as interludes!!! What a cool way to reframe that. And as ever, your pages are beautiful - your paintings are just 🥺 Edited to add: thank you so much for the shoutout!! I adore you and your channel too

[@torionpaper]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you always and yes the interlude thing has actually been very helpful ❤️

[@putocuchinta]

What method did you use to de-ring your Filofax cover?

[@torionpaper]

This is the video I followed when I did mine! I also used a letter opener to help separate some of the leather that was glued to the ring mechanism. I hope this helps ❤️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/b57Xe4adj72pfZYsi=J2XvQH4e4JY_0P-d

[@putocuchinta]

@@torionpaper thank you!! 🙏

[@InsideKimmysMind]

I just de-ringed a personal Filofax original. Did you add eyelets to yours? Or are the rings easier to remove on the Malden?

[@torionpaper]

I didn’t add any eyelets, there’s two small holes in the spine but I don’t mind it. This is my first time removing Filofax rings so I have nothing to compare it to but it was fairly easy and probably took about 10 minutes or so!

[@JoyArtadi-Lim]

do you think it will fit a b6 Sterling Ink?

[@torionpaper]

Hmm good question! I feel like I have seen people put their SI in a Malden but I’m not 100%. If you search the dimensions of the B6 and SI you might be able to tell that way :)

[@planningcalm]

I love your filming quality Tori. What camera do you use?😊

[@torionpaper]

Thank you so much! I just use my IPhone 🩷 I have the 15 Pro. Thanks for being here!

[@hollylind7489]

As your representative for the Swiftie community, we will forgive you for the spelling mistake :) Love you soooooo much girl! Loved the in depth flip through!

[@torionpaper]

😅 I feel better you’re giving me the pass. Love you SO MUCH

[@lindyredmond9838]

Sorry could you write out the name of your favorite pen?

[@torionpaper]

I really like the Zebra Sarasa Airdrift grip in .5 or lately I’ve really been liking the Energel Clena in .5 (this one doesn’t smudge if you highlight over it like the Zebra does). I hope this helps!

[@althepal6989]

How can it be a ‘she’ when you de~ringed ‘it’ ??

[@torionpaper]

I don’t think rings are synonymous with “she’s”. Its also just a planner 😂

[@annettefertitta6868]

I also adore @planninglifewitherin; @theroseylifeplanner

[@torionpaper]

I’ll check them out! 🩷
