Planner chat: Downsizing from a hobonichi cousin + traveler’s notebook to an original A6?

Hi, friends! I hope you’re doing well. This week’s video is going to be a casual planner chat, where I share some early thoughts on whether I could see myself downsizing from the Cousin in the future, and an experiment that I tried to help me with this decision. I realize we’re not even halfway through this year yet, but with one of my Traveler’s Notebook inserts almost being completed, it allowed me to consider whether I would start a new insert or use this as an opportunity to switch things up with my system. I will also answer @butterybreadbaby's questions from my last video. :) Let me know if you have any additional questions about the stationery products I use regularly, and I will share a more comprehensive list in a future video! I would love to hear how your planning system is going and what your experience is with whatever planning system you’re in. It’d also be interesting to know what you’re using each for (e.g. are you using it for school, work, life, or a combination of several things?). Also, if you have any feedback or requests for future videos, please let me know! Thanks for being here; I appreciate you! 💗 Videos mentioned: @himawaristationery https://youtu.be/C3fHuBRrGjI?si=WQn6FRk2Ak1NVciW one-year later: wonder pens x the superior labor leather pen and wallet in light brown case review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjTuVpLjcu8&t=1s What’s in my The Superior Labor Utility Leather Case? | stationery essentials long-term review ep. 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd1TtXd-p30 Products mentioned: Wonder Pens x The Superior Labor Leather Pen Wallet: https://wonderpens.ca/products/the-superior-labor-leather-pen-and-wallet-case-light-brown The Superior Labor Utility Leather Case: https://www.baum-kuchen.net/products/utility-leather-case Brass ruler (I got mine from Wonder Pens, but you can get this ruler at many retailers): https://wonderpens.ca/products/center-travelers-company-brass-ruler-center Mini scissors: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07NS8MC7K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 To help you navigate this video, I’ve included timestamps below: 0:00 - Intro 2:48 - Answering Savannah's questions :) 4:56 - How I use the Traveler’s Notebook 10:45 - How I use the Hobonichi Cousin 15:28 - How I’m thinking about changing my planning system 26:31 - My A6 and weekly supplement experiment 35:10- What might be motivating this desire to change?
