In this video, I’m unboxing the Sterling Ink B5 Common Planner and taking you through my real first impressions—starting with the packaging and that immediate “okay, this is serious” moment when you finally hold a new planner in your hands. I flip through the layout, talk about how the paper feels at first touch, and share what I notice right away when I’m imagining my everyday planning rhythm inside it. The big question here is size: I’m exploring why B5 might be the size that changes everything for 2025, especially if A5 has ever felt a little too tight once you start adding lists, notes, journaling, or any kind of “life admin.” I also compare the general experience of B5 versus A5 and other common formats—what feels more spacious, what feels more portable, and what kind of planning style each size naturally supports. If you’re curious about Sterling Ink, thinking of moving up to B5, or just love a slow, detailed flip-through, this one is for you.
