My October Planning Update
My October Planning Update
My last update saw me using a Filofax Pocket Malden in Stone. I did like it, but…
I had forgotten entirely how irritating I find the zip pocket inside a Malden. I never have anything that would fit in there nicely and needs to be carried and I don’t like how it makes the paper lay at the front.The leather finish on the Stone Malden was like cheap pleather. I’m sure that the leather quality from…

could you walk us through what notebooks & journals & pens /etc you use - they look so good!
I would be SO happy to, you have no idea!!
Alright, let's fucking GOOOO~
Starting off with my current "workhorse" pens - I have like *checks notes* 36 fountain pens and a bit too many inked up atm, but these are just the ones I'm currently reaching for or have inked up more often than not:
TWSBI Go (F): Kinda ugly! But also kinda cute! It's cheap and works great (I friggin love TWSBI pens tbh) and it has a little hole on the cap where you can attach a lanyard or charms, like I did! Makes it cuter imo and it's kind of my emotional support pen these days.
Opus88 Pocket (EF): This 2022 edition has a little Moon tarot design on the cap so it's pretty much the pen I use exclusively for my witchy/tarot practice journals! A lil bummed the cap doesn't post, especially since its a shorter pocket-sized pen, but not a deal breaker and I still love it.
Pilot Custom 823 (F): My grail pen that I've literally coveted for years and just recently acquired at the DC Pen Show this weekend! It's only been a day but I think it could potentially become my favorite pen. Ever.
Pilot Prera (CM): This is my third Prera lol. I just think they're great and really underrated pens! Also a recent acquisition from the DC Pen Show and this cursive M nib is suuuuper fun to write with.
Pilot Vanishing Point (EF): My favorite pen for planning! Super fine-tipped for writing task lists and schedules and love that it's so convenient/quick-draw with the click mechanism.
(I'm totally a Pilot pen ho, can you tell? asdjflaglsg)
Journals/Planners/Notebooks under cut–
Sterling Ink B6 Common Planner: For a good chunk of this year, I was in this planner because I honestly love the size and all the layouts. Super practical and flexible as a system. 10/10 would go back. I've used it to plan, as a reading journal, as a tarot log...
But I get the itch to move around so it's been sitting a little unused since like June, oop.
Leuchtturm A6: I started craving something tiny and minimal so I've been bullet journaling in this pocket notebook for the last month or two and I'm really enjoying it!
Standard-sized Tomoe River Paper notebook: This is pretty consistent in that I don't change up the system itself, but I'm in and out of it for memory keeping/scrapbook journaling! It's almost always a Tomoe River paper notebook of SOME kind that I usually buy in A5 size to go to FedEx and get it cut down to standard. Though I'm thinking of getting a blank Midori MD A5 to have cut down next time - I've been liking the freedom of blank pages for journaling instead of anything lined or gridded.
I really need to catch up with it tbh, but I love sitting in an explosion of printed photos, stickers, and washi and going ham with the pages.
(I do have a flip through of my January-March 2022 pages on YouTube)
Midori MD Cotton B6 Slim: I also have this sketchbook that sorta turned into a visual sketch diary of sorts. I fell off a while ago but want to get back into it because it's super fun to work in and to look back on!
Wide-sized Cosmo Air Light notebook & A5 Filofax Malden: These are my tarot/witchy journals. Grimoires I guess? One is for journaling and all my messier notes while the other is more for reference and ease of organization.
A5 Leuchtturm: I didn't know if I should include this guy, but I've been writing it in a lot recently so I guess I will lol. This is like truuuly a miscellaneous™ notebook.
I got this A5 notebook back in 2017 to use as my very first bullet journal, then found out that this size is personally waaaay too big for me to use as a bullet journal so I hopped off of it pretty quick. It now sits on my desk because since it's mostly blank I'll just pick it up to use it to write literally A N Y T H I N G.
Most recently, I wrote like 5 pages in one night on notes for a fanfiction piece I was working on (I'm not a writer, this fic is never gonna see the light of day by anyone but me lololol. Hyperfixation is so wild; I've put 80k+ words within just 10 days into it so far and it's been hella therapeutic.)
That's all, I think!?
It's funny because I actually have a NEW notebook arriving tomorrow that I'm going to try out as a bujo/commonplace/omni journal of sorts?? I might write an update post after I've set that up and see how I like it <3

My Filofax Malden is almost 10 years old, and I’ve been neglectful.
It’s a shame I filled it up once, like a regular notebook, and decided the loose leaf format isn’t for me. It felt impermanent…the paper wasn’t right…Since then it’s mostly been sitting in a drawer.
But recently I decided to start an experiment in this format, and see if I still feel the same in 2024.
A few things that attract me about the binder-style:
1. Lay flat (important!)
2. Able to have loose leaf paper everywhere in my home. Right now I’m using pieces of paper as bookmarks in a few books
3. Zero pressure to “ruin” a page. Not that I throw out any, as they are part of the process.
4. Experiment with the form. I like the possibility of different shapes of paper all hole-punched to hold in one place.
5. Ease of categorizing as a commonplace book.
Thoughts and advice on the Filofax? How do you use a loose-leaf notebook?

Trying to resist buying a new Filofax so bad. Spooky season has gotten me wanting a black malden cover that can fill with ghosts and mcr 😔 Can I win the internal fight or will I give in to my impulses, stay tuned

This Filofax Malden (personal size) is my new favourite thing.
It is used as my planner - to do lists , habit tracker , appts/events , reminders , taking notes , grocery lists , lists , braindumps etc...
I love that I can just rip out the page when I am done with it or transfered the information over to one of my journals.
I love that you can organise and move pages around as needed. It is amazing!
I also love the feel of this cover. It is everything I need as a planner :)
