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! 🤗

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Love that black Foxy! 🖤

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

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.

I’m excited to see you use this 😊

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

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

Thank you for this video very insightful!

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

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!

I think the black cover looks the best!

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! 🤣🤣🤣

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

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.

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

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!

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!

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! 🎉

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

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!

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?

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. 🤓

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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