It’s that cozy “end of the year favorites” moment, and in this video I’m walking you through what I’m actually reaching for to plan going into 2026—aka the stationery that genuinely earned a spot in my daily rotation. I’m sharing my favorite pens (including a few very different writing experiences), the highlighters and markers that make planning feel gentle instead of fussy, and the notebooks/planners that support my real-life systems—especially when I’m leaning on pocket notebooks. I cover the tools that help me stay consistent without turning planning into a performance: reliable everyday pens, erasable options for flexibility, and paper I enjoy writing on (because if the paper feels bad, I simply won’t use it). I also talk through practical accessories that make setups easier—things like stencils and pen loops—so my planning stays functional and cozy. The big takeaway is that my “best of” list is always about what actually sticks: tools that are comfortable, low-friction, and supportive of a pocket notebook + planner system that I’ll keep using long after the new-year motivation fades.
