Top TN Secrets from the Viral Video that started the TN craze in the planner community

UPDATED: This video is now 4 years old and was a wonderful way to introduce the mysterious Travelers Notebook to the planner community. This video went viral and helped grow the Traveler's Notebook community even larger. I am very grateful for all the views and am so happy to see how huge this planner style became. P.S. The midori I offered in the video did find a home.

So happy to do this video on my favorite planner format: the Midori Travelers Notebook! I get so many questions about this beauty and how I use it and set it up. This is video is packed full of information on how to add your Midori inserts, what accessories are my must haves and how to use them, mini reviews on three popular Midori brands and the fabulous inserts I use with them. I have three different sizes to show you, plus the pros and cons of each. If you were even THINKING of getting a Midori or were always curious about them (heck, even if you are a seasoned pro!) I hope you will watch along and see why the Midori is so AWESOME!!! so grab a snack and a beverage and cozy up. Let’s spend some quality time together!

Though I didn’t show any digital inserts in my video, here are some to check out:

I didn't realize right before buying one of these things that I was joining a Midori cult, lol.

[LouiseTreadwell]

I truly just sat here and watched this entire video and made two friends watch sections with me. Thank you!!!!

1. I totally didn't need the Midori...but now I feel like I need it.
2. Your nails look awesome.

I adore your posts! Every video is packed full of goodies, fab tips and delish content - like a mental piece of chocolate cake that is calorie free! YUM

[AYWalton]

Thanks for your video! This really explains the how and why to the Midori style book! I am so impressed at how you have made them work for you.

[WendyJuhl]

I make all my own inserts from scratch. I like to use scrapbook paper or pretty stationery for the journal pages and I also make watercolor paper and sketch paper inserts. I also make the file folder insert out of colorful patterned cardstock.

Loved this video! I am brand new to the Midori world and really had no idea what they were or how to use them, so this video lesson really helped! I love your idea of having a different dori for each project so you can just grab the one you need based on what you're doing! Thanks!

[dorismartinez]

The best intro and comparison videos I have seen. Thank you for all the information!

[felimekj]

This has been one the the most helpful video for me regarding Midori's and if I should pick one and what if I get one should I use it for. Thank you so much for all the info and thank you so much for the work it took u to add all the links below. Your the best. Thank

[TruetoStyle]

Great video! You just opened a whole new world for me! Thanks for being so comprehensive.

[thesupergirl]

Thank you! Great stuff! Finally all answers in one place. I think I can combine several of my notebooks and my planner into one. That way I wouldn't be always misplacing my smaller specific notebooks, and stressing about getting a new planner ever year! Thanks. I am an artist type also so I won't be doodleing and drawing in my medical record notebook anymore! Brilliant!

[rachelprichard]

This is absolutely the BEST video I have ever seen on Midori. I am a Filofax girl and was on the fence about trying the Midori. Well your video didn't just push me over the fence, it catapulted me! I can't wait to try out the Midori and all of the beautiful inserts you've suggested. This was an amazing video, KEEP them coming, please!

[amandalampe]

What a brilliant video. You explain things so well. I have been searching for a simple "how to" for TNs and this fit the bill. Thank you ever so much.

[mamaocillian]

Seriously, I think I reach your videos two or three times and still find something new each time. Cory, you truly have one of my favorite channels!

[scrapgirl]

I wanted to say thank you. I actually had broken down and ordered a Midori from Jetpens about two days ago and just saw your video today. I probably would have gone larger, but I will make the one I ordered work because it is what I can afford. I think it is so kind of folks like you to do videos like this because as you are aware, there are tons of questions that people have, and you really walked us through it all and answered them. I appreciate it very much and have subscribed so I won't miss any new videos, and of course will be going back through your archives and watching others.

Have a beautiful day!

"They're getting smushed!" I love this video. Thanks for the information. It's very helpful.

[effythewild]

I adored this. Thank you. I had a narrow fauxdori and one that accommodates Moleskine cahiers. Dude. The fauxdori inserts fit *perfectly* in the Moleskine sized fauxdori. I'm a happy girl now. Thank you. xo
