Reviewing the Papertess Designs Yearly Notebook After Using It As a Bullet Journal For a Full Year

[@kailahmom1]

Finally, someone who actually used a planner for a full year! Great video; thanks for sharing.

Oh yeah - I’m too stubborn to planner hop 😂 - glad you enjoyed!! 🫶🏽💕

Thank you for sharing your planner! The whiteboard idea was ingenious!!! 😁🥰

[@julia-here]

No problem! ☺️ and thank youuu!! 🙏🏽

A lot of companies make beautiful full page stickers to decorate the blank pages. I like Graceful Muse and Sterling Ink's ones. I've bought a ton so far and really glammed up the blank pages. I just don't use all the pages and like some extra deco added.

[@julia-here]

That’s a great suggestion, thank you! 🙏🏽

The 52gsm paper is like magic! Amazing how almost nothing bleeds through. I use watercolour in mine all the time and am constantly amazed

[@julia-here]

Absolutely this! It’s sorcery really haha.

I am using one for 2025, other than being a vertical weekly planner, i do love the layout! I will be using a Sterling ink N2V to carry with me so I can have a monthly and vertical spread with me at all times. The blank pages will be my to do list. So the Papertess will be my journal, media log, and financial planners.

[@julia-here]

Oh nice! I hope you enjoy- that sounds like a great separation ☺️

Aahh I needed this video!! Thank you so much for making it. I'm so excited to use my Papertess Designs Planner! I got it in A5 and A6, the A6 I'm using for family planning/organisation. The A5 will be my daily journal/commonplace. I was flipping through mine as watching your video. There is a blank page before the first week of the month but it comes after the monthly calendar. There's lots of pages at the back as well but I'd have to refer back to how many on the website 😅😆🙈 Also coming from BuJo , it feels like it's been a great choice for the transition into a dated planner! Scared but also excited! ❤❤❤❤ Great videoo Julia! Loved it 😘

[@julia-here]

You got this!!! 👏🏽💕 An A6 version sounds like a fun companion planner, that’s awesome.

love the blackletter gothic calligraphy journal titles!

[@julia-here]

Thank you!! I was learning how to do it this year and the planner is the perfect place to practice haha. ☺️

[@brittanyalattabi7062]

I bought this one for my 2025 work planner!

[@julia-here]

Niiice!! I hope you enjoy it! Seems like it would be great for a work planner with all of that space for meeting notes! Good luck 😊

🧽 Home Alone is so classic!

[@julia-here]

🤌🏽 1000%

Thank you for sharing! Are you aware of the aura Estelle planner? It’s nested and has TRP too. Do you know what you’re using for 2025?

[@julia-here]

I am! I’m using one of their planners (and covers) as my ink journal (I wanted to use it in 2024 but they were Sunday start and they recently switched to Monday start I saw 🙏🏽). And I do know what I’m using for 2025; a Faded Chronicle Undated Planner 🥳- there are recent videos for both up on the channel if you’re curious.

I actually won a Papertess A5S Managers Notebook and im still trying to figure out how to use it... I havent seen many people setting that one up or using so I'm going to have to figure it out on my own lol Love seeing someone be in a planner for the entire year. I do use at least 3 planners but each really do have a purpose and i just want to make sure I am filling it out for the entire year... Especially my memory planner.

[@julia-here]

Oo! Congrats on winning a Managers Notebook! That one looks really neat but I haven’t seen many setups in it either (it’s a new one for Papertess so there aren’t going to be any fully lived in ones just yet unfortunately) I do have an extensive planner/journal lineup butttt I have to keep all dates/plans in one “main planner”. I’m with you though.. everything has to have a clearly defined purpose so I don’t get too… everywhere 🥲😆

[@DoYouSalut]

I agree with you that it would be great to have a cover page for the months . I got a sterling ink commonplace planner for 2025 and realized there's not enough pages to do a cover page and I'm a tiny bit annoyed by that.

[@julia-here]

Yeah, I think it’s something missing in a lot of planners. Need some creative space in between months for sure (or just dumping space for those that aren’t into it).
