To Decorate or Not To Decorate (a planner, filofax, Midori TN, ECLP, ect.)? That is the question!

In this post, we discuss the decoration in planners.

I sound like Shakespeare, aren't I?
Ive done my fair share of my decoration in planners.

I have videos on several of them. I'm guilty!

 This is my faux Hobonichi!

 This is my Midori Traveler's Notebook journal. I enjoy to decorate it! I think I have found my style to journal.

What do you think about planner decoration?
Do you decorate your Filofaxes, Midories, Hobonichies, etc.?
I'd love to follow you!

Most used planner in 2015? (Filofax, Midori TN, Hobonichi, Bullet Journal)

It this post I discuss which planner I used more in 2015!

I just realized that I don't know which planner is my winner in terms of usability in 2015! I need to check it out!
(I have returned) i have made a tremendous effort to remember what I have used, month by month, in this year!
I checked:
my YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/mysummertouch,
my Instagram account (which is more accurate on it)https://www.instagram.com/mysummertouch/ ,
and my blogposts on this!
Thanks God I have them, or I wouldn't remember anything! Do you know how hard it is to collect all planners archives for the whole year???

So, my 2015 looks like this:
January:

I started the year strong in my pocket Crimson Filofax! I have the phooto on my IG with it on the New Year Tree!
Oh, and I remember my faux Hobonichi then! I used a Moleskine to have a day on one page while I decided if I want to order a Hobonichi!

I used my standard Midori for my planning and journalling! Love those photos!

February:

Then all of my Hobonichies arrived! I was happy! https://youtu.be/dMtNVc1QyKo
It was brief. I didn't like the pressure of daily pages!

And I decorated my Cousin briefly:https://youtu.be/B-fQzGgy0E8
Also my new pocket size Holborn arrived! https://youtu.be/dMtNVc1QyKo

March:
I used my Midories, and I got into the art journaling, and I use what for this? Midori!

April:
I tried a passport size Midori, very small and portable!
And then I made a video how I used it all together:https://youtu.be/Y5MBKPmDzlo

May:
ahhhh....Didn't happen much, probably, it was...Standart Midori!

June:
I went to a vacation for the whole month, and I really missed my Filofaxes, and I used my aqua Malden in personal size!
Here is a funny blog post what I took to the vacation with me: http://mysummertouch1.blogspot.ru/2015/06/how-plannerneard-goes-to-vacation.html

July-August:
I did a onebookjuly challenge:https://youtu.be/i4JN_ZBIYt4

 And then... Then my smarphone crused! And I didn't took any pictures!
So probably it was
Midories in both sizes! I started to make my own printables for them! I love it!https://www.instagram.com/p/8t70VLkWm7/?taken-by=mysummertouch

November:
I took my Moleskine that I use in January-February, and started a bullet journal! Yeas, I'm yet to make pictures of it! But it did helped me tremendously, as my brain dump! I loved the A5 so much that I decided to move into my purple  A5 Malden!


December:
And then I saw a review of the Happy Planner on youtube! Oh my! I just felt in love! I remembered that I have the discs and the Levenger punch, and I immediately wanted the same planner for me! I decided that I'm going to buy scrapbooking paper and make my own! It's going to happen! I do think that a Letter size and A4 size planners have their plases in this world!
And now I use....personal size Ochre Maden! I make my own inserts on etsy here https://www.etsy.com/shop/MySummerTouch?ref=hdr_shop_menu Please check it out!

So, the winner is....Midori Trave;er's Notebook in Standard size!!!!

Who used ONE planner for the whole 2015 year?

In this blog post we discuss who used one planner for one year!

Well, I admit that I have not been consistent with my planners this year.
I used:

• personal and pocket Filofax, 
• Cousin and weekly Hobonichi,
• standart and passport size Midori Traveler's Notebook, 
• Bullet Journal in Moleskine and even one attempt of an A4 ARC (disc bound system).

Oh, I forgot an A5 ARC planner! 

What about you? Have you wondered around? Have you tried a lot of planners? Have you wentured into something completely new to you, like bound vs.ring bound, or disc bound vs. ring bound systems? maybe you've tried coil bound planner? I've yet to try it out in the next year! Maybe you've tried a new layout?

What is Essential for my Planners (Filofax, Midori Traveler's Notebook, Bullet Journal)?

In this post I discuss what is the essential part of all of my planners- Filofax, Midori Traveler's Notebook, Bullet Journal.

I recently played with a stack of post-it notes, and, because I have a curious mind, one question has popped up in my mind - what IF I didn't have all my Filofaxes and Midories, and Bullet Journal? What if all that I would have is just these small pages of post - it notes? How would I set up them to use as a planner?

I wrote on my 1st page -  To Do
on the 2nd -  Daily Routine
On the 3rd - Weekly Routine
On the 4th - Monthly Routine
On the 5th - Calendar and Scheduled Events
On the 6th - Goals/Projects/Their Tracking
On the 7th - Budget

That's all!
It was a BIG surprise for me that I really could do without my weekly pages - the one that I used to use for so many years already! Because of my practice in my Bullet Journal, where I write ALL by hand, without using any printables, I realize that I could do WITHOUT them! Even my scheduled events could be just written not on preprinted pages, but in a list form - dates on the left side, scheduled events on the right! And I could use just 7 pages, and don't take with me my Filo!
What do you think? What would work for you? What is essential for you?

How a Plannerneard goes to a Vacation.

If you follow me on my blog, and check out my photos that I post almost every day, you have noticed that I have posted very different photos lately. That's because I am on vacation.  And you should have seen me packing!
I am a plannerneard (like you don't know that already (don't you?). I live and breathe planners. I can't live without them. I sleep with them. I journal in them. I have all kinds of them. Every size and color... well..  not every color... but almost. ..

So what have I chosen to go with me? Well, first I have decided that I take just a passport size Midori with new notebooks and Hobonichi Weeks with me. It doesn't weight a lot, and portable. I could journal on the go, which I did right on the board of the plane. 

Then, I thought, what if... only if.. this is not going to work out, and I will absolutely need more space?

And I took my standard size Midori Traveler's Notebook. Without notebooks.  Because it's very easy for me to make them.  I just need to buy an A5 graphed notebook and cut it to the size!

Then I remembered that I have even a bigger Midori. An A5 size. It's not a real Midori, because a Midori doesn't have this size,  but it's just the same, only wider! And I love it! And it's even more space than a standard size!

Then I decided that I couldn't do without a Filofax. It must be a pocket Filofax. Because it's pretty.  It's Crimson. And Malden. And it's small and portable!  Oh, I can't do without it!

And I took it with me.

My heart was almost content. And then I thought about my aqua. Malden. How could I leave it behind? What if I suddenly have an urge to use it? It would be a catastrophe!
And what do you think?  Have I left it at home?  Of course,  not!

Well, to my defend, I am actually using it right now. With another ring binder. Not a filofax, but a personal size too. I'm not going to post a picture of it here. Search it on my blog!

P.S. Do you think that I am content now??? 

I actually think that I'm nuts that I left my pocket Holborn Filofax and my A5 purple Malden and personal ochre Malden!

P.P.S. It's not easy to be a plannernerd!

How I use my Hobonichi, Filofax, Midori planners. Weekly and Daily Routines.

In this post I'm talking about my routines -weekly and daily, and show how I use my Hobonichi, Filofax, and Mudori together without rewriting anything and without carrying too much stuff around! Enjoy!  Don't forget to subscribe to my blog and YouTube channel! I hope you like it!🎀😄💋😉

If you like Filofax, Gillio, Van der Spek, Franklin Covey or binders in general...

...then you should like this bag! I considered buying it, but decided not to do it! Would you buy a bag that looks like a Filofax? We need to give this idea to Gillio or another company that sells custom made binders!

Hurry up with your Hobonichi order before it' s too late!

You probably know about my current obsession with Hobonichi planner. I just got a message that all 2014 edition of Hobonichies will be available ONLY until August 19th! I, personally,  don't understand why wouldn't sell all of stock that they have instead of just closing sales, maybe it's an asian marketing tool ?
Anyway, tge good news is tgat new 2015 edition will be open on September 1st 2pm GMT!
If you want to have BOTH 2014 and 2015 editions, you could purchase 2014 now and use the option "Hold Shipping" for up to 60 days.
Happy planning! ;)
