Hi friends! In this video I’m setting up my Filofax Malden in Ochre (personal size) for 2026, and I’m keeping it simple and functional—because that’s what actually works for me long-term. I walk you through the core sections I rely on the most: monthly planning for the big picture, weekly layouts for day-to-day structure, and a space for daily notes so everything lives in one place. If you’ve been wanting a cozy but practical planner that can keep up with real life, this setup is exactly that. I’m also sharing my thoughts on Sterling Ink inserts and whether they’re fountain pen friendly—and yes, they really are. The paper feels smooth, I get minimal ghosting, and it makes planning with fountain pens feel effortless instead of stressful. I also mention an inspo layout from @keenaprints, because sometimes a good layout idea is all you need to finally make your planner click. I hope this gives you ideas for your own 2026 planner setup, especially if you’re balancing planning + journaling like I do.
