This video was awesome. I’m buying the passport planner since I have a bunch of passport covers empty and new. I’m going to use it for tracking my health issues (I am disabled) but now I’m totally convinced because of your video. Thank you so much for sharing. Best video 💎🙏🏼

[@planningwithjohn]

So glad it helped! You're going to love it.

[@SusanGW]

I DID order from Sterling Ink! Only I got the monthly calendar. It’s very thin and only has the months and a few pages between each month. I love it. It will go in my Travelers Co Olive Passport. My EDC.

[@planningwithjohn]

Thanks for sharing!! I did see after placing my order for this they were adding new items to their lineup.

[@angiepayne6104]

I ordered that monthly insert also. I'm waiting for my order. I also ordered the horizontal weekly to try out. I don't usually use a weekly in my EDC, but it is so thin, and new, I want to try it.

[@stationerynation]

I just bought my first Stirling Ink for 2025! You enabled me 😂 and I’m so excited! Haha.

[@planningwithjohn]

I’m glad I could help! 😄

[@poshplans]

So stinking cute! I ordered the A6 Quartz full year. You have me wanting passport size now 🙃.

[@planningwithjohn]

I love it! You should try it. It reminds me of your pocket ring days.

[@angiepayne6104]

One other comment. hehe Sorry. I have been devoted to pocket size TN for years. I have many, many covers in this size. I am just now starting to play around with passport size. I have collected a lot of passport items for my on the go planner for 2024. It does actually make me a little nervous. haha All of my accessories and everything I have is all for pocket size. But, I want to switch things up. You know when you just want a change for a while. Anything you want to tell me would be great as well. Also, I by the Hobo Weeks every year, and after a couple months, I fizzle out of it. So, a bound book really hasn't worked for me either - Until this year my dad passed away, and I just couldn't stand to look at my Happy Planner. So, I purchased a Hobonichi Cousin, and much to my surprise I LOVE it! This planner really has everything you need all in one book. I am not bored at all. For 2024 I bought the AVEC version because the planner gets so thick. I use my TN and my Cousin together. The Cousin stays at home on my desk, and my TN goes everywhere. My Cousin is something I will keep. It has all my creative weekly spreads, my daily writings in the back, etc. The inserts for me in my TN come and go for the most part.

[@terryannanderson8812]

That white cover is gorgeous. Thanks for the video.❤

[@planningwithjohn]

It really is!

[@Stormynightdesigns]

Thank you, this was really useful. I can’t decide out of the passport or pocket size. I really miss foxy fix 😢 xx

[@planningwithjohn]

Glad it was helpful! I really miss Foxy Fix too! But my wallet is a little fuller since they e closed up shop.

[@jane.simplywrites]

The smallest size I have ever tried was A6 and thought passport was too tiny until on a whim I bought a Moterm Passport Companion and instantly fell in love with it. Feels so nice in hand! I bought the Sterling Ink Common Planner in passport size just like yours plus an additional passport notebook and both fit perfectly in the Moterm. Passport is currently my new obsession. Great video! Going to watch more! 🤗

[@lisaw8791]

I love mixing a bound book with TN inserts! TFS!

[@AuntieAlexandra]

Just got my teensie SI passport, in the Forest, with vertical, and it is sooo cute and gorgeous. I’m going to use it as my EDC, something I can always have with me, no matter how little I’m carrying with me.

[@papermademedoit]

Love that black Foxy! 🖤

[@planningwithjohn]

Me too. I’m so glad I held on to it.

[@tinacampbell2610]

I ordered the SICP Vertical Passport in Quartz ( I plan to use it for exercise tracking) and 2 ( Half & Full year) in A5 size in Quartz and Mist with a white edge. I wasn’t fond of the gilded edges. I may just carry my passport planner with a clear cover or order a Jelly cover with an elastic closure from Salty Katie... I wish I would have bought a Foxy Fix Passport cover but I only own a Weeks Cover, a A6 cover... I also own a few Foxy Fix ringed covers in Pocket, A6, & Personal Wide sizes... White is my favorite color for a planner cover...Nothing prettier than a clean white planner. Loved seeing the video, be well

[@SylviaWithAPlan]

I’m excited to see you use this 😊

[@planningwithjohn]

Me too!!

[@jbangelucci]

hi john. first i want to say that i'm also a fan of brown ink in any form - gel or fountain pen lol. i'm new to sterling ink and also purchased the cp passport. i plan on using it as a journal because i struggle with my journaling and want to make it a habit. since the passport is portable, tiny and the space for each day is limited, it is less intimidating to write a little bit each day. and with the numbered blank pages, i can write longer entries and reference the page number next to the date. my 2024 work/life planner is a medium passion planner. #passionplanner #sterlingink

[@planningwithjohn]

That’s what I was thinking too. Perfect size for journaling as each day isn’t an entire page. And if I want to make a special page about a trip there’s all the pages in the back for special events and memories. ❤

[@marinageorge7345]

Thank you for this video very insightful!

[@planningwithjohn]

Glad it was helpful!

[@angelmaden1559]

Got the passport to carry around and the B6 for my home planner. Downsized from A5. Use A6 Stalogy for work; get multiple years per book. New year; new hopes for organization! 🤣🤣🤣

[@planningwithjohn]

Very nice! Sounds like you’ll have lots of options for next year!

[@planwithmarisol]

Hi! I am so in love with that tiny thing, but I have no use for it. I have pre-ordered the B6 two book set and a weeks. I have been using a SICP B6 half year since July and I love it. It's been my right-hand man for sure. Thank you for sharing!

[@planningwithjohn]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@melonyyang1198]

Thank you for this video! So detailed and I enjoyed it very much.

[@planningwithjohn]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@angiepayne6104]

I think the black cover looks the best!

[@planningwithjohn]

I do too!❤

[@LifeByDenise]

I ordered the weeks compact and the passport. I am not sure which one i am going to use. I am leaning towards the passport

[@Shmyrk]

Great info, thank you! Would you mind telling me the name of the lil planner/notebook you’re flipping through at 7:46

[@planningwithjohn]

The passport and the mini/Nano are made by Bassey and Co. they are in olive leather. The mini has inserts in it that I made. It has a monthly calendar and a dot grid so I have my schedule and paper for notes on the go.

[@Shmyrk]

@@planningwithjohn ah ok yes I watched some of your other vids and realized it was probably your work. Those are beautiful man, good work!

[@reluctantparticipant9103]

The Newestor Travellers notebook covers from Amazon reminds me of those foxy fix covers. Maybe those would work?

[@jessplansandwrites]

Thanks for sharing, John! I didn‘t order anything from Sterling Ink‘s 2024 dated planners, but I did order a few of her grid inserts with Tomoe River Paper. Experimenting with a TN as my work planner/catch-all at the moment, but overall, I prefer bound books-I like committing to something for a longer period of time and I enjoy flipping through a book with lots of filled-in pages. Got the A5 Tomitaro Makino HON, which is a bit intimidating to me because I found the Cousin Avec quite stressful the last time I used it (first half of 2021). Hopefully, my strategy to section out designated journal and deco spaces will work out… 😂 A good alternative to house a bound Passport book is the new Aura Estelle Passport cover, by the way, if you’re okay with vegan leather. It’s even roomier than the Passport Companion from Moterm. Just got the brown one, and my writing journal (Pocket size, from Create With Pen) fits in the back pocket perfectly! 🎉

[@planningwithjohn]

I didn’t know Aura Estelle made a passport size now. That definitely sounds like they would have a similar aesthetic with the Sterling ink.

[@jessplansandwrites]

@@planningwithjohn Their Passport Collection released only a short while ago. Regarding the aesthetic, I believe it depends. They’ve got darker and more muted colours (which is what I usually go for), but there is also a metallic silver cover that is very out there (or ostentatious, to use your wording) 😂

[@angiepayne6104]

I am new to Sterling Ink. I am also new to the idea of a common planner. I didn't order one of the planners you have. However, Sterling Ink now has passport size calendar and weekly inserts you can purchase for 2024. I did purchase those, and a notebook insert, all in passport size. I can't wait to get them in the mail!

[@SusanGW]

That’s what I bought was a monthly insert! It is so thin but has so much room inside.

[@darkensys]

Nice video! I ordered the A6 compact but I had so many doubts about sizes... By the way, I recommend you to check the MOTERM covers. 🤓

[@planningwithjohn]

Thanks, will do! I have two Moterm passport covers and I totally forgot about them!

[@mygoldennotebook2191]

Still on my no-buy and still flummoxed by people buying printed planners. I don’t think someone I’ve never met could create a planner that would perfectly mirror my needs. Now to go to the kitchen and set up October for me.

[@simplycelest9397]

John will you show the passport common planner using chic sparrow passport lease. Even if it doesn’t fit I would like to compare to the options you have in this video. Just wondering if it would fit my chic sparrow. Thanks in advance.

[@planningwithjohn]

Yes I will

[@karenguy6767]

I just bought the common planner passport, saw your video and fell in love with the white Foxy. Then read a comment that they are out of business!? Have you found an alternative that works?

[@planningwithjohn]

Some people have mentioned Aura Estelle. They make planner covers in a variety of sizes. I think the design of the Foxy are perfect for notebooks like these and inserts.

[@shirleytsai7214]

What is that weekly passport you were using at 09:15? The layout looks interesting. There is a TO-DO list on the left and weekly spread on two pages.

[@planningwithjohn]

That is a printable from Creffective Paper. It is broken up into quarters. www.creffectivepaper.com/products/7869072670958

[@susanpilchard5417]

Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to get mine ! I also got a weeks! Love your collection of foxies!! Do you sell your inserts? Love the weekly passport layout!

[@planningwithjohn]

At the moment I don’t sell my inserts. I did years ago as Peke Dori Designs. I do offer them as digital downloads on my Patreon for those that are more DIY minded. There are so many insert makers and designers I just chose not to sell them.

[@amyalphabet722]

I am awaiting my pre-order from Sterling Ink to arrive. I got the A6 vertical and out of curiosity I also got the passport vertical too. Technically, I guess the passport purchase was an impulse but I have NO idea if or how I will use it. I think it will be adorable but also impossibly small to use. This said, I am hoping I can do a journal-ish something with it. Something like a positive thing a day maybe? Once I have it in my hands, maybe something with come to me :) Thank you for the great video, can't wait to see how you end up using your passport horizontal!

[@Yosoydom]

I’m a year late, how did you end up liking/using your passport? I just ordered one and I’m thinking of just tracking my meals/health in it

[@amyalphabet722]

@@Yosoydom i ended up using it as a family military history reference book. I wanted to have something I could reference quickly and easily. Both of my grandpas and four great uncles served in the Second World War. I marked things like enlistment and discharge dates, military promotions, the dates of important campaigns they fought in. It is a very unusual way to use the planner, but it was actually perfect for what I wanted ☺ For 2025, i got another passport, this time a horizontal layout. I will be using it as a health journal to track sleep, moods, food intake (to determine food sensitivities).

[@tortiedove]

I wanted a passport common planner but they were all sold out I might go with the Nolty if sterling ink doesn’t restock

[@angiepayne6104]

I hope they restock. I may be interested. Other companies are coming out with passport notebooks, or passport notebooks with 12 months of undated calendars in the front, but nothing like this from Sterling Ink!

[@tortiedove]

@@angiepayne6104 yeah sterling ink would be ideal it’s so beautiful

[@justcallmeivonne]

I meant can order as many as you want

[@mizzelle71]

I ordered the b6 and weeks versions from Sterling ink. Ive been using the undated for the last few months. What i like is i can use as much space as needed, rather than having to commit to a whole page. I dont use the quarterly/goals stuff at the beginning. I much prefer the weekly on two pages rather than the Hobinichi style. I just use one of Sterling Ink's clear covers.

[@planningwithjohn]

I wondered how I would use the stuff at the beginning, quarterly goals and all. Maybe as trackers? Just not sure.

[@mizzelle71]

@@planningwithjohn I started a mood board on that first two page spread. I suppose you cover up the layout for something else.

[@tbelsom]

It would fit in the skinny green one if you took out the booklet-if you didn’t need a booklet.

[@adulting_at_30]

You made me buy a TN and I'm obsessed and broke 😂😂😂

[@planningwithjohn]

I always look for ways that I can make things work with my budget. Make my own, find one that may be less expensive, or even see if there are giveaways on IG or KZbin. I always try to make everything work with my budget. It can be done. Enjoy your new TN.

[@adulting_at_30]

@planningwithjohn I have no regrets. Just need self control. 🥰 thanks for the response. Love your videos.

[@Stormbrise]

Damn she said the grid would be a bit darker, if this is darker, it is going by the wayside of my Stalogy. I hav no plans of hurting my eyes to draw lines in my B6 version of this. Didn’t FoxyFit go out of business? If so, I was sad that it happened before I started buying my covers.

[@planningwithjohn]

Yes, Foxy Fix closed up shop in 2020. I've had these for years. I haven't parted with them as they are irreplaceable. I agree that the grid is quite faint. So I wonder how I'll feel a few months into the new year.

[@onyourraedar]

Oh my gosh! You’re the first man (I’m sorry if I’m misgendering you, making assumption off the name) I’ve found on plannertube! Love your voice and the video. Thanks for sharing

[@planningwithjohn]

No worries! There are a few of us here. Thanks for watching.

[@TobyKyrk]

John, does it fit in Brie's passport sized folio covers? If it does, i might have to break my no spend lol

[@planningwithjohn]

I Will Check. I have a few Documented Journey covers in passports in various size configurations.

[@DvsDebt]

The white cover is stunning! Giver her a chance! haha 🤍

[@planningwithjohn]

Right?! I know it is. I always tend to spill coffee and tea, so my fear is it might get matcha or Earl Gray on it.

[@DvsDebt]

@@planningwithjohnThe stains could add character! haha I just purchased a sterling ink horizontal passport because I was heavily influenced by your video, covid medication, and I had some Mercari credit to burn!😜

[@angiepayne6104]

Chic Sparrow sells passport in regular size, and plus size. In the regular size you can only get the classic, which means, no pockets, but you can add stitching and/or a pen loop, unless you did a custom order, you can add pockets. However, if you want the passport plus size, go to the cascade option and chose passport plus. I believe this size has pockets. I have one passport plus, a classic in Austen, Morland. The notebook opened for me is measuring 9 1/2 by 5 1/2. It has six elastics. I really like it. I only have one passport size, a classic in Creme Chocolate Brown, and I can hardly get two inserts to fit good in there. I know Just Scribble seems to get two or three inserts comfortably in her passport size notebooks. For me, it is such a small size to begin with, you need that extra room around the edges to cover your inserts. I don't mind some over hang, but with regular CS passport, I just find them to small. Although, I like to add the plastic dashboards, and the canvas "wallet" insert from Moterm in there. Anyway, it is all trial and error. Unfortunately it can be expensive. If you did order something custom with CS, Jennifer said to stack up everything you want to put in your planner and put those measurements in as the one insert size and they will figure out what size to make the cover. That is all I know. lol Have a good day John.

[@planningwithjohn]

I have a couple chic sparrow in passport and the regular size is just a little small.
