Sterling Ink Common Planner Setup | B6 | Academic Year 2024 - 2025

Hi!! I am back after a long (and unplanned) break, during which time I wasn’t using any planner consistently. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But this July I have started using the Sterling Ink Academic Planner and I wanted to share the setup and how it’s been going so far. If you’ve followed me in the past there won’t be any surprises in this setup, but I’m happy to be excited about a planner again, and to have the chance to chat about it with you all. Thank you for watching, for reaching out during my break, and for sticking around! I appreciate you. 💛

So nice to see you back and to hear the reason for your absence was not a sad life event one. I have really enjoyed watching your older videos and specially your pocket bujo ones. I also want to thank you for mentioning emkfit in one of your videos. I found her through you and she’s been my favorite (and only) workout youtuber that I’ve watch (and worked out to) in the past year.

Ellie! I love listening to your kind words💞 I completely agree with everything that you said...💝 I love seeing your planner! It's so beautiful! I am a big fan of your style and reasoning for each detail. I watched Ted Lasso after you recommended it and it's a favourite! Love the dot stickers! I didn't know this shop... I will have a look... 😆Thanks for sharing 💙

Yay!!! So happy to get notified of a new video! I haven’t watched it yet, but I already liked it because I know it will be great!

I literally just watched an old video of yours yesterday and I was like I hope she’s okay. I’m so glad you are and that you’re back! I am excited to watch the video :)

So excited to hear your beautiful voice Ellie!

I have been watching your old videos and I'm glad to see you back. I have some life changes coming up and I think taking your advice on giving grace is going to be important. It is true that sometimes you can only find out what you need along the way.

Was just looking for a video from you since I just started my half year common planner. I was sad that you hadn't posted since I last saw your papertess. Glad that you are back!

You’ve been missed Ellie! Welcome back.

Of course, I love how you set this planner up as your own. Loving the tiny monthly stickers to bring out some color. Thank you for sharing. I would love to try the A5 size in the Sterling Ink Academic Planner.

So happy to see you back! ✨Best of luck with your new planner. 🖤

I love how you’re using weeklies and back pages. ☺️

I am glad to see a video from you! I can see Laurens inspiration - but it still looks like your style. I am happy to hear your planning again and doing well!

[birdsbooksbujo]

So happy to see you shared a new video - thanks so much for putting it together for us! 🥰

I love your daily logs and as usual, your planner set up looks so lovely but I can see how it's very functional too. I hope it works well for you! ☺

This year I'm using the W222 A5 All-In-One with Unstacked weekends. Like you said you have seen people doing, I am dividing up the weekly spreads to create a weekly overview/dashboard - this is the missing piece of the planning puzzle I needed!
