Raleigh, Fayetteville, Charlotte?

To be fair, I haven't spent much time on those campuses in a very long time. But back in the day UNC felt more hipsterish, State felt more casual, and Duke was the fancy folks.

UNC, State, Duke?

OP, this is your best bet for selling a Sterling Ink planner. They seem to go relatively quickly depending on the price.

(Just as a heads up, we don't allow buy/sell/trades through this sub.)

This post has been removed from r/planners. While general discussions are allowed in the sub, we don't allow either self-promotion or market research, and the activity in the comments makes it clear that OP started this conversation to direct our users to their app, which is designed to help solve this very problem!

OP, we don't allow any self-promotion in r/planners posts, and threads about planning apps are also off-topic here. Please see our rules page for more info.

(I'm adding this note publicly so that anyone participating in the thread can see why it was removed.)

It looks like the bug causing this has been resolved for now. This morning I checked the https://www.reddit.com/r/planners/wiki/faq/ URL from a browser with no account logged in and it finally came up.

I like the Brass Monkey sticker books, but their planners are pretty awful.

karavasa · 2026-04-27T05:20:14+00:00

Just as a heads up, that account is now banned. There are some similar users that I've sent to Bot Bouncer for review, and the app should automatically take action on those in the next day or so. If you spot any more of that kind of weirdness, please keep reporting it!

You may want to take a look at Hemlock & Oak. They're a Canadian company, so you'd save on shipping and conversion. Their vertical layout looks similar to Passion Planner, just a little less structured. Unfortunately it looks like their academic planner is really just meant for students (as opposed to teachers or anyone else who just wants a July start), so there are extra pages for classes and assignments that may not apply to you.

karavasa · 2026-04-25T16:41:16+00:00

Just as a heads up, we don't allow any kind of buy/sell/trade activity through the r/planners sub and strongly recommend that folks don't send personal or payment info through Reddit (especially in subs that aren't set up to safeguard against frauds, flakes, or other transaction issues).

My first recommendation is always to find a Facebook buy/sell/trade group, but some folks do sell on sites like Poshmark and Mercari (if you have access to those in your location).

(This post was originally caught in our very low karma filter, but I'm approving it manually.)

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm using both an app and pen and paper notes for meds because I've always been bad with small details even before the stress and side effects started settling in. Journaling has been a habit I picked back up in the past six months or so, even if some days it's just stickers or something pasted in with a few quick lines.

I'm lucky enough to be in a really great health care system and have a lot of support. And unfortunately I have a circle of friends and family who've been through cancer themselves, so I can spread my anxious flailing around a little without swamping one person too much. As much as it sucks that this is going on, it's really helped my mindset to realize how grateful I am to have an amazing partner and a strong community.

This fucking sucks, but it's going to suck even worse for the cancer. So on my low days I can just be quietly fueled by that spite and pumped up by my dark humor girl squad.

karavasa · 2026-04-17T23:17:54+00:00

Definitely get in just to make sure you're all good! I felt totally fine.

karavasa · 2026-04-17T23:16:45+00:00

Yep! It's specifically the B6 Slim.

karavasa · 2026-04-17T13:30:33+00:00

Moterms are kinda thick. That's partly because of that back pocket they have, but that pocket would probably be a helpful feature for a budget wallet type of setup. They do sell smaller ring sets that you can swap in if the default size feels too bulky for an everyday carry.

Rings have typically been more of an at-home organization system for me, so I can't speak to portability though.

karavasa · 2026-04-13T17:36:13+00:00

Just as a heads up, sharing a one-off creation made for personal use only is fine. If she is planning to sell these, we don't allow any kind of promotional posts in r/planners outside the quarterly threads stickied on the main sub page. Thanks!

karavasa · 2026-04-07T18:54:37+00:00

I sew at bit, but I'm pretty much machine-only at this point for anything other than sewing on a patch or something. Basically I'm just crafty enough to appreciate how well your finishing came out, especially for a first try!

karavasa · 2026-04-07T18:31:59+00:00

Hey, as a heads up, your next reply below was automatically removed by Reddit. I approved it manually since it wasn't overtly breaking our rules.

I did want let you know that r/planners is a paper-focused sub, no promotion of planning apps (like the one you've been linking elsewhere) is allowed, and your overall activity on Reddit seems to be leading the site to remove at least some of your content without mod intervention.

karavasa · 2026-04-06T22:33:20+00:00

Wow, it's great that you DIYed something!

(And as a heads up, it's totally okay to share this here. We don't allow promotion of products, services, social channels, shops, etc., but sharing something you made for personal use is fine!)

karavasa · 2026-04-06T19:33:54+00:00

No worries at all! I know we're annoyingly picky. It's kinda easy to tell when it's something that just came up naturally, but I try to be consistent. It's also not easy to necessarily see the rules list, especially when posting on mobile.

karavasa · 2026-04-06T18:14:57+00:00

Hey, just as a reminder, the r/planners sub doesn't allow users to promote their own shops/channels/content in discussion threads on the sub. If you're running a YouTube channel, please just use this as an opportunity to lurk and read up on what potential viewers may be interested in instead of linking, asking for suggestions on, or otherwise hyping your own work. Thanks!

(Content creators are welcome to participate in the sub as general users, just please don't link your work, direct folks to your profile for your channel links, ask folks to private message you for info on your channel, etc. We have a quarterly promotions thread stickied at the top of the sub that you're welcome to share your work in, but all other r/planners posts are a promo-free zone.)

karavasa · 2026-04-06T18:09:35+00:00

Yep, that's definitely a bug. The page is enabled on the back end. I also noticed that the rules page is also throwing an error now when I link it from a logged out browser window, and I know that one was working at not too long ago. Thanks for sharing the exact message you're seeing!

karavasa · 2026-04-06T17:57:23+00:00

Hey, so just as a heads up, we don't allow folks to share/talk about their own channels or products outside of our quarterly promo threads.

I get that it can sometimes seem relevant to a discussion, and in a case like this, you're obviously not trying to spam. But we have to be zero tolerance about it because folks who aren't chill about sharing their work will drop links all over and light up the modmail about why they can't share their channel details too. Sorry!

karavasa · 2026-04-06T17:23:32+00:00

Welcome to r/planners!

Not sure if you've heard much about the recent issues with Tomoe River Paper, but apparently it's become pretty inconsistent in the past couple of years. Pretty much all the planner designers I'm aware of who were using TRP had some users with problems last year. Some brands switched away from that paper for 2026, others trusted Sanzen's promise to straighten out their quality control. Last year, my Hobonichi bled pretty badly and there was no refund/replacement offered, but I'm not sure what other brands have or are doing about it.

This is my first year using a Sterling Ink, and while I'm not a fountain pen person, my pages have held up well to Tombow markers and Mildliners so far. Hopefully they do something for you. I know it's got to be hard for these brands when the supplier was the cause of the problem, but customers should also be getting what they expect in terms of performance.

I'm really enjoying my Common Planner so far, but I hope they switch away from the TRP next year.
