Always enjoy your videos, Ann. Thank you. Now I'm getting excited also! Our Lord bless you.

I love the simplicity of this. Makes me wanna try a TN!

[michellechannell]

I set my standard TN up yesterday. LOL I'm starting the new year with purely functional planning.

[pinayknitter]

It’s so refreshing to watch your videos - truly practical yet aesthetically pleasing tips; no pressure on self nor viewer to go out and purchase more. Thank you, I appreciate you a lot.

[Bettystroup]

Thank You going to try for my 2025 new year,

[RobinHanover]

This was THE best description of putting the TN together....thank you so much!!! I am new to TN, and this was sooo helpful...love your videos.

[Dreblueskies]

Your videos are always so great! I am looking forward to sipping my tea 🫖 while I watch.

Long division would ruin my day lol 🤪

The leather bullet journal is dreamy. Here in Mexico city they are beyond expensive.

[joyvestal]

Thanks for sharing. On the same boat with you, I need to use what I have and I have my TN stuff collecting dust. I got them for travel journal... but I rarely travel😂. I will miss my LT but looking forward to the change. I'm using blank inserts, one for weekly planning and the 2nd for collections & journaling. I'm also gonna use my colored pencils with doodles/sketching.

[sharonstauffer]

Love this idea… streamlining…simplifying… but oh so functional. Might have to copy you. (Take that as flattery lol) . Not sure if I can find a card holder like that, but I love the set-up. 😊

[delilahpatton]

Your videos are just amazing!! Always super informative no pressure beautiful items and full of ideas. I love your simple set up. I hope it works wonders for you in 2024!!

[moniques.journal.corner]

Lovely as always. I'm leaning towards a standard TN for 2024. I've carried around a hobo weeks and b6 stalogy all year and I really just want to carry one combined book around for 2024. Luckily I have a closet full of things I can use or alter to work. Thanks for the ideas!

[kimberlyhoward]

This is a great idea 😊! I have so many inserts collected and I need to use them with the TNs I’ve collected! I’m not sure why I started journaling in 240 page books when I struggle to fill them. I end up taking out pages because I want it to end😁! (I make more inserts with the pages😊. ) So why am I buying more journals🤷‍♀️? Cuz they are cute or pretty 🥰 😆! From now on I have to pay attention and shop from my own closet 😆! Thank you for sharing, take care🤗💕!

[aderz]

Thanks to you I bought a Wanderings TN which I use daily for my notes at work and I’ve been loving it! I am still debating if for weekly planning/tasks, should I use it with a Travelers insert or if I should ditch both inserts and use the leather cover with the hobonichi weeks. 
I like to keep my system compact but I do need both the weekly planner and the notes, both which I use specifically for work.

That’s the half year A5 Stalogy in the Elizo cover, yes? It looks like it would fit my current (a A5 Take a Note which I plan on using next year as well) planner…the cover I currently use doesn’t fit very well haha
Probably on me, but it’s the only cover that fits A5s I own so I’m hoping to get a new one for Christmas

[constancewebb]

Enjoyed your video. I like standard size but i have the inserts that are stapled instead of sewn. I too want to use what i have. Are sewn better than stapled?
