I went to staples and had them cut my stalogy to passport size and I LOVE IT! Gives my passport tn the chunk I love with plenty of pages!

Pocket rings is my forever love ❤

I would highly recommend the Galen Leather B6 “Slim Leather” covers. Reasonable price and gorgeous leather that just gets better with time and lovely colours to choose from. I use the A6 Stalogy and the Galen covers are just the perfect match for the minimalist Stalogy books.

RE: getting bored of your clear stalogy cover. Last year around the holidays I found a wrapping paper that I really really like, created by an illustrator that I adore! I had some left over and used that to wrap my Hobonichi Cousin + used some washi tape on the spine, underneath my Midori clear cover. Just followed a youtube video on how to wrap it neatly. Highly recommend it! I've been so happy with how custom and me it is :-) Going to be doing the same on my planner this year with a new paper!

I’m currently using a Leuchtturm Pocket size as my bullet journal/ planner and I love it!! It’s portable and the perfect size imo. Im able to fit everything I need so far. For 2023, I purchased a Hobonichi Weeks just to try it out since my Bujo layout is similar to the weeks. I’m considering using my Travelers Notebook Passport size for a memory keep... Hope you find something you like! 😊

The Leuchtturm A6 dotted journal is the best for bullet journaling. I had the soft cover first but I found that I felt a bit ripped off because it had 50 pages less than the hardcover. Now going into the B6+ monthly so I have lots of room for calendar and journaling. Good luck. I like sticking to one journal for everything. Just my devotions/Bible reading is in its own notebook.

Hi! Try finding a deco paper you like and insert it into the clear cover!

As far as covers go for your B6 Stalogy, I really like Chic Sparrow and Sojourner. They both make leather folio covers which are meant to hold one thicker bound book by tucking the notebook cover into the pockets (versus traveler’s notebooks which have those elastics in the binding) and they have a wide variety of types and colors of leather to choose from.

Sometimes it feels like we a just in the dark and can breath, but really, we’ve been planted.

You can print out anything you want and turn it into a cover using your clear cover over it

If you have a clear cover, you could place a pretty piece of vellum or patterned paper under it to prettify your Stalogy. ❤️🇨🇦

Hi Mari, I have 2 systems. 1. TN in passport with 2 inserts (monthly and weekly). 2. Moleskin lined notebook for planning, brain dump and personal notes.

My (planned) 2023 lineup is three things. 1) PLANNER: Hobonichi Weeks as a Planner, Health Tracker & To-Do Lists (previously A5 Moleskine Weekly). 2) MENTAL: Non-specific A5 notebooks for a stream of consciousness, feelings, rants, etc. Once I finish them, I will move onto the Hobo Weeks-sized notebooks. 3) MEMORY: Hobonichi A6 5-Year Journal for short-form daily memory keeping. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your daily journal set-up. I personally love 12 little small ones. But the Moleskine daily is a good replacement. The paper is nice! You have a bujo set-up that is working really well. But I guess the removal of the daily journal disrupts the traveller's notebook ecology. Maybe you should keep using the same small A6 journals for Bujo but add a plastic cover to it instead for protection? Or I would just use the red stalogy. Your set-up is always going to be in flux and change. But I think you have a cute chunky set up, and that by changing the daily journal set up - everything gets disrupted. I am hoping next year to maybe get a leather cover for my weeks and weeks-sized notebooks if the system works out. I avoid anything leather cover/compendium until I am very sure.

If you want a passport insert with a larger page count I would recommend the Galen leather brand ones, they are great quality and use tomoe river paper.

You can try goodinkpressions - they have TN inserts with 120 pages. it's what I'm using now! :)

hooray for cheap pens that don't smudges 🙌

Beautiful B6 covers that I use are Papermood and Strideridge. They are both really lovely, and will fit the Stalogy B6. I ended up re-covering my Hobonichi weeks this year, because I totally agree with you, the mega colours weren't inspiring, but I knew that I wanted a mega.

Hi Mari! So nice you are reunited with all your books! :) when I picked the one for my bujo I decided to go with the size and paper that I like the most, that is the hobonichi weeks and trp, so I have a notebook on hobonichi weeks size that paired with my real hobonichi weeks (Aurora too!) will be the pair I'll be using. Maybe think of what size you like most for your everyday life and it might be a nice choice :)

Hi Mari! Maybe you could put your finance tracker back into your TN to give it the chonk that you like? Also for B6 covers, until you find one that you like, you could put some cute wrapping paper inside the clear cover to give it a different feel 😊

What about Muji pen being highlighted after use on the Tomoe River Paper? Wow, you have such fine print with your handwriting. I have four Hobonichi weeks. The fourth is a reading journal and I do not care about the dates. i have an older one I use for my gaming journal with my switch or PC games. As for the back pages of the three hobonichi weeks, I use trackers for my blood glucose levels, health journal; check registers (really more of a in and out system of payments with my debit card), finance journal; collections for my everyday carry weeks. I do not bullet journal on the extra pages, it becomes too much with the daily pages. I just write my tasks and focuses on those pages along with notes. I have been using a layout from KZfaqr PaperJoy PH for this for over a month and find that it works well for me. This will be my first year starting a book, media journal (TV, Film, Series). I doubt I will finish it this year, but if I don’t I will just continue until it completed. I am sure 16 month layouts is more than enough and the blank pages. I read about 35 books a year currently

In the beginning of your video you asked for suggestions about covers for the B6. I also write in a Stalogy b6 with great pleasure. A few months ago I bought a zipped cover from Galen Leather at the Dutch Penshow and I’m so happy with it……😊

Great video! A couple of options could be cutting the Stalogy down to fit your pocket TN or ordering a notebook to fit. I love Paper Penguin Co, she makes tomo river notebooks with 80 or 160 pages and you can pick the style of pages, dot, blank, lined and more.

I got a stalogy cut down to a passport size and I’m in love . But also good inkpressions makes passport sizes in dot, plain and grid and you can get a 160 pages book.

Thinking of having a diet on notebooks because I found myself not using all of them at the end of the year. I love TNs (I do bujo and daily journaling in the original size) because I get to put multiple inserts in 1 book. Love your neat handwriting, by the way :)

Love stalogy the best. Number 1 for me :) i am using a clear cover, I do have a5, and put some stickers under the cover, I am using big flowers stickers.

I am using a B6+ dotted softcover notebook from Leuchtturm for 2023. Softcover notebooks from Leuchtturm have less pages than the hardcover ones (for a pocket size that's 187 pages hardcover vs. 123 pages softcover FYI). Personally, I don't mind the page count because I use my journal in a quite minimal way. Usually 1 page per week plus monthly cover pages. I already set the B6+ up for 2023 and still got about 30 pages left.

I'll use a Nolty 1180 (small edition) in my Passport TN next year . It fits perfectly in there (it's a little bit narrower than Passport size) and there's enough room to put a 2nd insert for bullet journaling in the back. This way, the TN still gets chunky, but not too chunky :)

Hi Mari! I love your collection of planners and I had the same issue this year!!!! I was in a Hobonichi weeks up until June & from then I transitioned into a pocket planner & did some weird stuff from then until October & I lost track of a lot of things. I had like 9 planners by May and right now I shrank that to maybe 4. I’m just going to finish the ones I’m not going to use this year and back plan. The ones I will use will be set up for next year. Right now, I’m still in the middle of figuring out what I want also because I love the bullet journal way of just having things not being moved, but at the same time I need a planner with discs because I’m always taking out to-do lists & I don’t really need to carry all the months for the entire year. I’m kind of doing a hybrid system that’s hard to explain, but once I get it, I’m going to share on KZfaq. It might help conflicted people like you & I because there are things you want, but they don’t fit in 1 type of planner but you want to be in another because it functions well

My current lineup: 1. Hobonichi Cousin A5 for work // 2. Hobonichi Weeks (Regular): personal planner + finances Now, as for next year, even though I've bought an A5 Cousin, I haven't made up my mind as to whether I should get another Weeks and so on.

Hi Mari ! I only use two inserts in my TNP because It's more comfy for writing. I have my bullet and my Monthly inside. like you small notebooks are my fav'. I have stalogy too in a6 with a moterm cover. To be honest I don't use the moterm cover because my stalogy is becoming too chunky and if I put the moterm cover it looks like a truck 😂. I love Trc because their system is really handy. I use my TNR for my weekly resume, daily journaling and morning pages. I feel Lost about the Hobo weeks because I'm really happy with my bujo into my TNP. I dont Like to use to many Journals. for 2023 I Want a really clear lineup easy to carry.

I came across your video and was drawn to it. I enjoy the Hobonichi a6 Cousin. I like the size is not to big and not too small. The Stalogy 1/2 year a6 would probably be a good fit. I prefer it over the 365. It is chunky. New Sub. Can’t wait to see what you pick.

Can't help you.. I have the A6, weeks, mega and a cousin just from 1 brand - hobonichi. I want to use the midori hibino and the B6 Sterling Ink planners as well.... but your thought process helped. It was real cute to hear you say that A6 is big (compared to the TN PS)... I agree but I can't live without my dailies in the cousin. The question I have for you though is you said at the beginning that your B6 stalogy was in a clear plastic cover... where did you get it from please? I've got a moterm B6+ but I'd much rather a collage page of my favourite nature illustrations inside a clear cover because of the bulk factor.

I am thinking about using the MD Notebook Diary as my diary for 2023. Other thoughts and ideas: - MD Notebook Journal Codex 1 Day 1 Page - for stream of consciousness, reflections. - I use a folder where I put A4 blank sheets into - for conceptualising, brain-dumping, creative thinking. - Traveler's notebook (passport size) - as a calendar/ planning / bullet journaling? I am debating if I want to use a notebook, such as the Midori MD Notebook Diary A6 1 Day 1 Page Diary, as my daily planner.. but I'm very unsure..

Watched this kaigi twice! How has YT not recommended your channel to me before is crazy *:･ﾟ✧Subscribed immediately✧*:･ﾟ Loved this so much that I'm going to go through all your past videos as well this morning~! And I'm not much of a help, I havent figured out my lineup as well 😅 Thanks for sharing!

Sojourner leather has b6 that are beautiful

The Muji pens are still expensive in my city/country ;( but it's good to know it doesn't smudge on TRP (& has refills, too in different colors ^^). Thank you for sharing~ :3

I use Simply Gilded B6 covers! They’re like 15-20$ and sooooo cute

Could you just put a second insert in your TN Passport for bullet journaling? Then, you’d have three inserts. You’d not run out of room to bullet journal because you’d have two bujos and your third insert. You might wind up with three or four bumps at the year’s end (one for each quarter). Just a thought. ☺️🌻

Leuchtturm pocket notebook as a bullet journal. No bleed through re the paper (unlike moleskine). Hard or soft covers, and comes in cute colours, and a choice of dot, grid etc. They make a bullet specific journal, but it’s a5 (the prettiest pink though) Nice pocket at the back too. A lovely video by @helenwang of the coffee Monsterz co shows her using one. Good luck…

I'm loving the pocket Leuchtturm1917 rn, so I think that's a good one. I wonder if you could stick with the traveller's notebook with the 2 inserts and then add a memorabilia pocket as the 3rd insert for bulk?

Could you maybe cut the stalogy down to passport size? That’s my only downfall with a travelers notebook system, multiple books confuse my brain 🫠

Is it an option for you to cut down your red stalogy to a passport size? 🤔 Or have it cut down for you so the edges are perfect. If it is then maybe this would be a nice solution!

Moleskine pocket size and if you wanted could be slipped into or clipped into a Traveler's Notebook like at the end of this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7iCgpapsrixn4E.html

I'm experimenting with my Bujo notebook for 2023 too. I'm going to use a sketchbook (blank pages) type notebook because I'm hoping it will move me to draw more. If you like the compact size, you should go with the A6 L.1917. Have you looked into the Freely Noted Notebook by Planner Monkey Co.?A few shops have Hobo Weeks-sized plain/ undated notebooks.

Zenglyph did a setup showing her passport plus cover with a chunky 520 pg passport notebook by createwithpen.

I have my B6 Stalogy in a Chic Sparrow leather folio- their products are DREAMY!!!
