What's Your 2015 Planner And/or Journal?


CharlieTurtle

Recommended Posts

I use the Midori monthly calendar and a Midori with the really thin paper as a bullet journal. Together, these do what I need.

This is actually what I'm going to try this next year. Just finished modifying a printable insert from Ray's website since I made my own half-letter sized cover. I had been just using bullet journal, but it's a bit of a pain to have to make the montly calendar every month. I end up just not doing it.

My journal will be a Paperblanks Shiraz.

My planner for work will be a Burde black leather binder with Filofax one side per day planner.

My private planner will probably be a Paperblanks if I find a nice one. I have not bought it yet.

I used the Hobonichi Techo A6 as both a planner and a kind of visual diary this year. My 2015 model is rarin' to go.

 

For a journal, I'm switching from a Rhodia hardcover book to a larger PaperForFountainPens B5 Tomoe River journal.

I am planning on making one myself. I'll take this opportunity to try one of the new binding methods I've recently learned.

 

Wow, your Etsy shop is awesome! I love the books you've made :)

I actually don't know yet! I have a weird habit of trying one product or method for the first couple of months, then switching to something else around March or April because I'm not happy with it. I still don't know why that is exactly! I mean, it's probably to do with the pattern of my activity (I don't have a regular 9-5 sort of job) but I have yet to suss out the exact process, lol. So this year I decided to go on with what I was using in 2014 until well into the new year, to see if I avoid the weird first-quarter switch :P

I'm not affiliated with ANY of the brands/retailers/shops/ebay sellers/whatever I mention or recommend. If that ever changes, I will let you know :)

This is what I ended up with - it will hold a Field Notes 58-week planner and double as my wallet:

Leuchtturm 1917 weekly planner - one week per double page. I then customise it.

After twenty years of using Franklin dayplanners, I'm trying the venerable Daytimer, two-age per day, spiral bound system. The little notebooks will go into my Franklin zip binder along with my looseleaf subject tabs.

 

I have found, at this point in my career, I don't need the same volume of meeting and phone notes that I did a few years ago. My molie clone and fountain pens provide space for journaling, sketching and rambling. Because the notebook is always in my manbag, I just don't need the Franklin two-page per day, compact-sized planning system any longer.

 

in 2012 I used a Leuchtturm 5x8 planner. I enjoyed the simplicity but the layout bites so I won't ever use that product again unless it gets totally redesigned.

I ride a recumbent, I play go, I use Macintosh so of course I use a fountain pen.

Now I have bought my planner, a mini Paperblanks glowing rose. Shown in photo with my journal. I usually have notebooks with onecoloured covers but thought I would try something new.

How does it work with you fp? For that matter, which combo of fp & ink will you be using? I've seen any number of posts on FPN that were not too happy with Field Notes, which is why I ask.

For appointments, etc., I still use my iPod Touch (2nd generation -- a real antique!) in combination with iCal on my MacBook Pro.

 

For a planner of tasks, etc., this year I'm giving a bullet journal a try. I've got several medium size (6 1/2" x 9 1/2") bagasse type paper spiral notebooks on hand to use.

 

For journals, I have a supple of hard cover bound journals (National brand), some bound Japanese notebooks (e.g., Kokuhyo ?), and some garden variety composition books that I'm trying to put to productive use. I usually have more than one journal going at a time; one for my business, one for personal study, one as a general personal journal, etc.

For a new planner, I picked up a cheap one someplace that's small enough to go in my purse. If it's not absolutely the best FP friendly paper, oh well -- I think it only cost a couple of bucks. Of course, seeing this thread made me realize that it's now after midnight EST, so *officially* 2015 -- and the thing is at home.... In a basket with various notebooks and pads.

As for the journal, circumstances ended up with me finishing the CR Gibson Markings Journal (which I didn't like as well as their older style ones that didn't have the stupid magnetic clasp -- and which had better paper than this one). I had brought another one with me, but instead I'm going to start using the Miquelrius 200 page soft-cover one I bought yesterday. New year, new journal. The hard part is deciding which pen/ink combo to start the new year with.... Mostly because I have too many pens inked up at the moment; do I do a celebratory color to usher in the new year (like 1670 Stormy Grey) or do I pick one of the inks I just bought over the last couple of days (which got put into what had been the un-inked pens I brought on the trip, or do I choose one of the inked pens that I brought with me....

Yeah, I know. First world problem (at least I'm not a blue-eyed white kitten meme...). B)

Hehe, you made me blush :blush: :blush: :blush:.

 

I just started bookbinding and decided I wanted to live on it, that is, to be a true bookbinder. I think I am just learning, there is still plenty of techniques I don't know, but I am working on it. Comments like yours make me feel I am on the right track. Thank you very much. :) :)
