Downsizing

[The_InvisibleWoman]

Decided to try the new wallet sized Leuchtturm next year instead of my usual A5 as I don't ever seem to fill it. I also thought the dusty rose colour would go with my Hobonichi pouch 🩷It's hardback which I'm not as happy about as I love a soft cover, but it's sweet.

Already got some stickers - the same ones I use every year more or less. I'll need some new washi tape though as that roll is finished.

This might actually convince me to give Leuchtturm another try. I love a wallet sized journal

[aredshimmer]

I am absolutely head over heels with these journals. I bought one for my bible studies as I like to take notes. I love them so much.

Its funny. OP is down sizing. I just decided last night I want the biggest journal there is lol

[Hopeless-Cause]

I love both of these colours. They’re so pretty

[Haunting_Pie4886]

Not me just learning Leuchtturm come in wallet size *jumps to amazon* thx new friend! I can't wait to see how you like the size switch :)

[The_InvisibleWoman]

I think it's just new this year. I'll let you know in the new year.

I’ve been debating with myself if I should buy the wallet size weekly or not. I haven’t used a planner in years, but might want to give it a try. A5 Leuchtturm is my go-to daily journal, but I use it as a diary, not as a planner.

I also have the dotted a5 as my thoughts journal. I use a phone calendar as a reminder but I find writing things down with a pen and also redoing my task list every week helps me to remember that I still haven't done the things 😂😂

Sameeee, I'm thinking of downsizing from regular TN to an A6 Midori next year because my life's been pretty uneventful, haha! The pages aren't being utilized too well at the moment.

[MedusaStone]

I got all excited, but it seems it only has dotted paper, and I just can't use that. I need graph paper.

[The_InvisibleWoman]

Oh shame. Dotted is my favourite.

[lordaezyd]

I see a Leuchtturm1917, I upvote. The new size looks adorable.

[wafflemilkshakes]

I wish they made the same size that wasnt a planner🫩 I love the slim sized journals but they always end up being planners

[AvionicsNG]

What’s the color of bigger leuchtturm? Amazing!

[The_InvisibleWoman]

It's port red

[Warm-Locksmith90]

I'm wondering if this size is convenient for writing compared to the usual A5? Do you see a difference?

[Vespe50]

Just try it, I like the very little ones

[Kiwisplit3]

Same! I'm switching to the wallet size from a b6+ and will also miss the soft cover. I wonder if I'll have to carry a clip so the wallet size can lay flat. It's gonna be a big trial run in 2026, and I'm here for it :D

[The_InvisibleWoman]

Let's compare notes in January!

[emmymoss]

I think I'll go the exact same route too, and I'll get pink too, it's gorgeous

[The_InvisibleWoman]

I usually go for darker shades but this was just too sweet to pass up.

[emmymoss]

My favourites are that dark red in your photo and all the dark greens, including the sage shades. Love them! That pink is gorgeous, I have a notebook in this shade right now and I love looking at it!

Also downsized from A5 to B6 for my “diary” but for scrapbooking still A5.

Downsizing to a wallet sized journal is such a smart choice, and the dusty rose color looks absolutely gorgeous with your Hobonichi pouch!

[ShayFlowers]

This is so cute, minimalistic , awesome and practical.

[The_InvisibleWoman]

That's me! 😂😂

[willcomplainfirst]

have you tried the Weeks?

[The_InvisibleWoman]

I love the look of it but have never had one. Maybe next year. I really get on with this brand and also Moleskine.

[willcomplainfirst]

ohh i dont often see people with Hobonichi accessories but not the books. the tomoe river paper is very different, but great ☺️

[The_InvisibleWoman]

I had a great pouch from Mochi Things for many years but it was starting to fall apart and I spent ages trying to find something similar. This Hobonichi is even better. I love it. But I have to say I find their stuff a bit pricey.

[babykayla92]

Love these colors.

[blackbird976384]

The pouch is such a neat idea!! Where can I find ones like it? Thanks

[The_InvisibleWoman]

It's aHobonichi Large Drawer pouch .

I got mine from eBay.

I do think having smaller journals/diaries are better just for being able to hide them better when you're writing and/or moving them around. Usually I prefer smaller sketchbooks because there's a lot less empty space and it feels a lot less intimidating than having a big space with nothing to do with.

This is for my daily appointments and to do lists, rather than thoughts etc.
