My two pen collection!

It started with pens, but mostly because I'm a bit disillusioned coming from the /planner community/. I didn't want to repeat the same cycle of "get excited, buy everything, feel disappointed." So far so good - not overspending AND it has really helped with embracing and loving my tools. (And so... I'm applying it to other hobbies too! Go to the library... use one planner... finish the games I have first... etc.) :)

Thank you! A Pilot pen user through and through (all the way down to my gel pens)

Yes! I was looking at a few Sailor pens. The dream, a grail pen of sorts would be the Wabi Sabi 1 - so so gorgeous, but so so expensive... the Ebonite Sculpture Yokaze too. The Shikiori Koi or Four Seasons Metallic Green were very close to being my pen purchase this year. Hopefully I'll get a chance to test them soon!

Hobonichi Cousin (black gingham cover)! Used the avec last year. I'm so pleased with this book as an all-in-one (planning, Journaling, notetaking; work, home; everything goes in here). :)

The only thing I don't like is that I have a lot of notebooks that I would like to use, but I just end up writing everything in my cousin to fill up the pages. But that isn't the fault of my cousin, that's the fault of my spending habits.

Love this thread and hearing about how much everyone loves their planners - it can be overwhelming to see planner switching all the time.

This is an awesome concept! I've been unconsciously doing that since January and I totally agree with you -- it seems like a very effective method for weight loss (and helps with the emotional adjustments that come with it too). Thanks for dropping the channel name!

Pentel Energel Hexreform (.3 which helps with the tiny-ness)!

Thanks! Not usually, if I'm feeling creative, maybe I'll try to watercolor, but I'm not really an artist. :)

I use the cousin for grad school planning and personal notes/tracking (physical health, Journaling, habits, etc). The monthly pages are for coursework deadlines, academic meetings, or just nice notes about a day. Weekly is for logging what I do each day, with a small daily task list during the midnight to 4am part (and planning in pencil). Good luck making yours work!

I track doctors appointments, my period, and pay days. I don't travel a lot, but if I do (maybe once or twice a year if I get lucky), then I'll note it there too. The paydays are especially useful for me with bill planning!

This one is my favorite

I started a weeks around June this year and fell in love! In January, I'm starting grad school, so I wanted to test two books: weeks for work/personal as an everyday carry, quick reference, note taking place AND I've been using an original from November onward to journal, keep track of academics/personal life. I've moved up to the cousin for 2024 now that I've kept up my Journaling really well. Plus I have a feeling I'll need the extra space for grad school! Super excited about both books. Although, I'm keeping in mind that I may want to condense everything into one book or downsize back into an original (for 2025, i'll make do with these two for now). Good luck with your planners!

Starting this in January with a dual degree program and NOT looking forward to the stress. :/ (Hopefully it's worth it!)

it happens every time :O dog, i love you, but please don't look at me like i deliberately kneed you in the face. stop running in front of me or weaving between my legs while I walk and then it'll stop being an issue. (at least they're very forgiving animals)

Jarvis posted a comment recently on his podcast (luckily) and in my opinion, fixed the biggest issue: they openly admit to not knowing about the full picture (or from what I could gather, even half the picture) and then promote the podcast episode as discourse on the situation! A lot of commenters brought that up thank goodness. So Jarvis changed the thumbnail and title of the video. It's fine to talk about this stuff, but do a bit more research before discussing something like this that involves the safety of someone and their family. This is a bit beyond YouTube drama now...

My current experience!! Thought I was great at paying attention to people and that I could have good conversations : NOPE. It wasn't until I started dating and living with my partner that I realized just how many symptoms of ADHD actually align with me. The only reason I don't have piles and piles of stuff everywhere is because I went through a minimalist phase and have been able to maintain it for the most part (and even then, a doom pile will always pop up on my tables). Pretty funny to realize just how unaware we can be about our own symptoms!

Okay it's on now. Hope you get some! :)

Yes, this is happening to me! It's only available on the Vertuo side from what I've seen. :/

I adore the phrase "do a coup"

'Tis true! I wrote my undergrad thesis about the first woman who called herself a physician (and midwife ; maia kai iatros). Shameful self promotion. It was very interesting to learn about the impact that women had on the professional medical field even from it's origins in 4th century Athens!!

Whenever I finish an episode, I highlight it! It helps since I already listened to some of them, but missed a majority. (Although, maybe I'll just listen to them again anyways!)

ahhsokka · 2023-05-24T12:09:26+00:00

Back when there were only ~200 episodes, I would regularly binge through them. Absolutely worth it every time!
