This year I swapped from an A5, to an A6 = too large to too small. I found you and your B6 common planner. I love it! Perfect size for me. Thank you

[@Laly7]

And your very first planner that you launched was on point! The best planner out there that really fit how I organize and plan. THANK YOU!!! 🤗❤️🙏

appreciate the kind words on the planners over the years!

@@sherrygraham8650 I agree!!! I’d be happy to be a packing elf seeing all the beautiful planners, what people chose, and packing them up and sending them to their new home!

[@user-fbriejskal1sen]

This will be my first time to order Sterling Ink and the reason I decided to try your planner is that minimal style look and layout (compared to my current hobonichi). I am so excited to order one next month! 🥳

[@SterlingInk]

thanks so much for saying that about the planners! and an early welcome to the SI family!! 🥰

[@soulanstreets222]

This was my reason I was going to switch to sterling ink from the hobonichi...but those new HON covers sucked me back in 😂. Maybe next year.

[@donnadipity7305]

I will be out of the country till September 3. I have my heart set on a B6 slim and I’m scared I will miss out. The B6 slim has always been my first favorite size. I love the minimalist design, layout and the soft cover.

[@SterlingInk]

we ordered a lot of inventory this year so you should be okay, and the B6 Slim is a great choice for a size!

[@susanlynn5159]

Looking forward to your new Monthly planner option 😊

[@SterlingInk]

thats a great choice 🥰

[@stacy3781]

Her notebooks are so elegant. I bought the imperfect one and I loved it, it had so much personality. I know the majority wanted a durable cover but I really loved the flexible soft cover that I had and I hope you still sell those. Thank you, Catherine and team, for all the work that you do creating these planners and notebooks! 💗

[@SterlingInk]

appreciate you saying about the covers and the team! ❤️🥰

[@mollymollie6048]

Your creation is exactly what I’ve always been looking for. Enough structure to “plan things” without excessive visual distractions, organized in a logical manner, and nothing being “forced” on you to do, no quote you aren’t interested in, no dramatic color changes or patterns, so you can have it be as plain or as decorated as you want. Brava! 👏

[@SterlingInk]

appreciate you for noticing all of those details! ❤️

[@mollymollie6048]

@@SterlingInk you’re welcome…I appreciate YOU noticing all of those details and doing the work to bring it to life!! I was a Bujo/digital person for years when other planners didn’t work, I’ve tried other premade planners and felt like I was wasting half of it…or I had giant Goals/Intentions/Gratitude! sections to fill in each month with no space except to follow their method. I got the Hobo Cousin for 2024 and it was nearly perfect…you took the good parts of it and got rid of the stuff that bugged me. (Also, I’m glad you mentioned booklets in a previous video…I mistakenly thought that booklets were just blank notebooks…now I know! So, that’s helped me solve my ‘carry around’ and ‘usually stays at home’ planners to get! And I’m ready for Sep 15th!!! (Maybe also the 1st…but I know the A5 is definitely the 15th!) My best wishes for success for you and I see so many people talking about Sterling Ink more and more. I hope things go well from the back side of the shop for you, I know it will be hectic and crazy, but I think it will be well worth the effort! (Can I just thank you also for all of the Vertical layouts? Horizontal weekly just doesn’t work for me and how I visually “see” a week’s schedule, and what is going on each day. Also, the choices you are able to offer!!! It will be interesting to hear about the data from expanding sizes and types of layouts…what seemed to fill a niche, what people begged for and no one bought, what was a surprise big seller you didn’t think would be, etc. It’s great that you listen to and use feedback well from the customer as well as studying market trends and what is and isn’t working with similar products. I hope you can tune out the unhelpful feedback and not let it get under your skin.

[@needofspirituality2778]

I love these planners but I cannot get used to having the months all together in one section. I wish there was an option to choose where you can have a planner with the month followed by the week but it is still a beautiful planner, I got 3 of them at the beginning of the year and I love them! the quality is amazing!!! 🩷👌🤗🩷

I’d love to see a “corporate working week” planner someday. Mon-Fri.

[@bitrudder3792]

I’m glad you found and created something that works for you. But it won’t work for anyone (like me) that wants and needs to change pages in their planner. They’re going to need a disk or a ring system, or if they’re willing to be nitpicky, one of those coil systems, where you can change out the pages without leaving ripped shreds behind, and don’t change the pages often enough to damage the holes.

[@Chaos_and_Creativity]

Ok, so why watch these videos if they aren't for you? She makes bound books... But she also has printables that you could punch and put in your disc system

[@bitrudder3792]

@@Chaos_and_Creativity - She claims that this one is “perfect for anyone.” It’s not. Because a bookbound one isn’t “perfect for anyone.” Pretty straightforward.

Don't worry, if what you want sells out at launch, it will be restocked.

[@candacethegreat]

It looks exactly like the hobonichi planner. Which I have used for many years now

[@asdf242]

it does but - there are more sizes in the CP range - some people (myself included) want a plain design without the quotes or the tips at the ends - the CP has extra quarterly planning and goal planning pages. catherine has a video on goal planning that i found *incredibly* useful.

[@Jen39x]

If only the grid size were larger

[@SterlingInk]

thanks for that suggestion!

[@gilanggumati3945]

The perfect planner that counts as perfect is one that is blank. No sections, so everyone could express themselves however they like, without feeling the pressure to complete each page of every section.

[@becaSidekick]

As a journal, sure. As a planner, no. If I have to make a layout for each page and month or week to plan, that's not helpful but time wasteful - imo.

[@gilanggumati3945]

@becaSidekick if you want to make it artistic, yes it might.. but i've tried bullet journaling the way Ryder from Bullet Journal channel does. It's very simple and easy. Works really well for journal and planner, and i won't be wastimg pages if i decide not journaling or not even planning anything.

[@becaSidekick]

@@gilanggumati3945 So, a Journal. Not a Planner. Sure you would, your future log would be a waste. If you're not planning, you're just journaling. Then you don't need a planner for the next day.

Now if only you sold half-letter pdfs for those who use a desk-sized 7-ring binder. Then you'd have something for anyone. I don't like bound books. :/
