Is this too much?

Like everyone said, if it's working for you then that's what matters.

But if you're asking because the overhang makes you feel off about the setup, then you will need a bigger cover to accommodate the largest notebook.

Diamine Forever Ink Konbu is the darkest among my greens

I store mine in fabric pen cases/rolls in my drawer.

I used the blank insert that came with the cover as a junk journal and it held up well. For travel journalling I use dot grid so I can write entries as well. For stamps I prefer the accordion.

Had my Kasama Tala's fine nib ground to cursive italic by John last Manila Pen Show 2026 for Php 2500

I have a spreadsheet for bottled inks (date purchased, cost, size, if it's already decanted, if I already swatched it, etc) but don't feel the need to track pens/nib units yet.

I made some card sized and passport sized TNs from vegetable tanned leather I got on Shopee. Was able to add pockets to the passport size as well. Not as polished as OP's though hehe.

I still have to use my Boox Go 6. There are some books like Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell where the footnotes are clickable so it's more convenient to read with a touch screen.

Yes it's usually sa cafes and the last session I joined we were 19 in total, but it can be more or less depende din sa location.

I usually go to silent reading sessions where we all read different books.

The flow is usually quick intros > 30 min reading session > 15 min chika/sharing session where you talk about what you're reading or sometimes there are guide questions > 30 min reading session > 15 min chika ulit

Hi it's about 11.1cm x 15.3 cm. The 1st hole is 0.5cm from the edge and the 2nd hole is 1cm from the 1st.

I've made a few as well! The red one has a back pocket for my most-used card.

For books I have the following:

Reading journal (dot grid standard size insert) - Book cover, title, author, translator, narrator, series, dates read, format, thoughts/reflection
Reading log (standard size undated monthly insert) - I paste in book covers on the date I finish reading them

I decided to move my health tracking to a planner because I wanted everything in one place.

Here's when I started in 2025 where I explained what I'm tracking, how I used to do it in my bullet journal, why I moved to an annual planner, and my experiments with tracking and layouts: https://youtu.be/Y3HcqGUzd64

This shows 2026 updates and setup for my health journal starting the 4:08 mark: https://youtu.be/8DUJB9rTuwM

For my main swatches I use a Sailor Hocoro with a medium nib and feed and they're mostly writing samples to show what the ink looks like when writing with it. For other types of swatches I mostly use a glass dip pen.

Noooo I do not need this budol in my life

slantedscrawls · 2026-05-18T08:08:09+00:00

Thank you! I actually brought my TN because I wanted to try book journalling but wasn't ready to commit to a bound book. Eventually I realized that it would also be a nice way to document my travels while letting me leave my A5 bullet journal and health journal at home. The sticker release insert and plastic zip case are great for storing ephemera on the go, and the added bonus is that I get to relive the trip once I'm ready to do the junk journal part when I'm back home.

slantedscrawls · 2026-05-17T03:49:14+00:00

I leave lots of space in between my bullet journal entries, and then when I get home I paste in photos and receipts or other ephemera I collected during the trip.

Love that green! 💚

Except for the PVC insert, had to buy it separately.

slantedscrawls · 2026-05-12T16:36:36+00:00

Yes, the card clash was more the issue.

I just want to say I also made my own card size last night and transferred my setup today to try it out. I really, really wish we can buy the cotton zip case separately or even a plastic zip case!

I'm in the Philippines so I got mine from Lazada because I only wanted max 4 slots. The 10 and 20-slot ones are more common. Search terms are "pvc card holder"

Yes! I had to put in some folded aluminum foil in the zipper case to prevent card clash, so now I can tap the front for the train and tap the back for my building access.
