A6 PLANNER WALK THROUGH

I’m not really an A6 (or Personal Planner) person. I prefer A5 (or Large Planner) because I write a lot and I really have a thing on ‘spaces’ in all aspect. 

So why do I have this A6 Abook planner? 

Here’s a little history.

I miss my zipped planner/wallet: Filofax Pennybridge that I destashed last year and when I saw a zip Recollections planner on sale from the local planner group, I got tempted to try it. But the thing is, it’s not really my color (Pink) and the design is too girly for me, but the paper is really thick! It’s my kind of paper. So i still gave it a chance and use it as my Online Content Planner, since this year, I really want to be active online for planner related stuff. 

The OC in me hits, and I don’t want my zip planner to get dirty at the same time I want to use it everyday and not just plan on it every start of the week. I finally decided to sell the zip binder and leave the inserts with me. Of course I want to maintain this Online Content planner so I looked for a cheap binder. 

I came across this Abook brand from Aurora’s Box . At first I wanted to get the black on but it’s out of stock. I told my ‘hoarder-self’ that purple is still a good color and not prone to dirt so I ordered this.

When I get to see the binder in person, I fell in love with it easily. It’s so compact, and it can lay flat, just perfect when you are writing. The Recollections inserts are quite longer than the regular A6 insert size but still fit the holes of regular A6 binder. 

So for this compact binder, it looks like it has an overhang but actually the inserts are just really of the same height with it (because normally, there’s still space on the top & bottom of an A6 binder when you attached the inserts. This binder is quite smaller than the regular A6 size so it gives you a fake overhang feeling with you lay it flat and take a photo of it). 

I don’t mind it at all. 

Actually, this is the first time that I had a satisfying feeling on an A6 Planner. I’ve had Kikki.k Ocean before and Malden Ochre, all in A6 size and they did not last long with me. 

Okay that was a long history. 

Let’s get started:

So this is how I set up my A6 Planner. It has 3 pockets and a flap when you open it. I put my favorite stickers there: Keena Prints and Little Miss Helper stickers (click for links of their shops) and some random transparent stickers I got as a freebie before. 

I also have a zip lock insert to store more stickers & random card stocks. I don’t know, I just feel like putting stuff there.

2nd insert is a calendar divider made of pvc. It came with the Abook package but since it’s a 2016 calendar, I decided to repurpose it and stick my favorite breakfast themed sticky notes there. Got these sticky notes from Daiso in Nagoya Japan. 

3rd insert is another sticker sheet from my old Kikki.k Contrast planner. I don’t really use them, I just want it there because I feel more secured. LOL

So this is the look of my weekly spread. Inserts are undated so I had to put the dates manually. I use Kelly Purky clear stamps for the ‘To-do List’ check box. I also use the ‘Today’ divider that came with the Abook package even though it’s quite small to serve as ‘divider.’ It’s looks pretty to me so, it’s fine.

I use stickers, and washi tapes to design my spreads although for this planner, it’s mainly a ‘To-do List’ on everything that I need to accomplish online. So I can only do lettering & simple layout from time to time. This insert has pre designs, actually: those floral and aztec prints that you see. 

Skipping the whole year of inserts because they all look the same (Sorry no photo of the monthly dividers & the monthly spread since I don’t usually use it).

At the back I have a top loading transparent insert ( It also came with the Abook package) where I store my stickers.... again) 

That round stickers you see on the left are my favorite because the texture is like a washi tape. I got it from Seria in Nagoya and I hate my self from not getting a lot of it. UGH. 

And there you go, up to the last 2 slots at the back, I put stickers and sticky notes.Yes they are my favorite planner accessories (plus washi tapes- they are in my other planners).

There’s an elastic pen slot. I use felt tip pen in writing since I told you, the paper is very thick! There’s no ghosting or bleeding at all!!!. That’s a Sakura Micron 0.4 I got from Hey Kessy shop in UP Town Center.

Here’s the back photo :)

This is how thick my planner is :) 

And this is where I store my planners: on my desktop organizer <3

I hope you had fun reading my novel that was supposed to be my A6 Planner walk through. LOL

Until next time!

As a plan-centered and organized person, I always have a planner. Always. I might not lug it everywhere, but I have to use one to keep me organized. I have tried all kinds of methods of planning as well as many kinds of planners, and this is one I purchased in March. I have an old Filofax Malden in the personal size that I bought two years ago, but I found that it did not have enough writing space for my liking, and I seldom used it. I moved on to a Daytimer with handmade inserts, then a PassionPlanner, then a bullet journal, but now I think I have found my happy medium. Enter Malden A5.

    The packaging was beautiful. I have lost the pictures of the original packaging, but I remember opening it and just thinking “wow, this is sophisticated.” I paid good money for it, and I could feel the quality as I pulled it free from the packaging. I received my personal Malden from Amazon, and I did not receive original packaging, so this was my first time really opening something from Filofax. It was glorious.

Back Cover (inside)

Back Cover with Notepad

The Malden is made of a gorgeous purple leather with silver accents in the clasp and the six rings inside. The front cover features several card slots and a full length zip pocket. The back cover has space for a notepad if you chose to insert one. My favorite part about the overall design of the Malden: two pen loops. The only downside to that is they are not made of elastic; they’re leather, creating a problem if you like larger pens. I, however, store a 0.5mm mechanical pencil and a Sharpie pen (in black of course) in my loops which I use when I carry my Malden daily. If I’m in class, I normally already have a fountain pen in my hand, so I don’t need to get one out of my planner.

The Malden comes with beautiful cream-colored week-on-two-page inserts with an hourly layout. Not my favorite, but as you can read in a previous post (My Planning Journey), I will use them until the end of the year.

One of the best aspects of the binder system is that you can put any kind of layout inside with the benefit of being able to move things around. You can include special sections and fold-out inserts; the possibilities are endless with this many options.

The downside to the A5 size is definitely it’s bulk. This probably isn’t something you would want to carry around in your purse ever day. It could be a great planner to keep at your desk while you carry around a smaller planner or notebook. Just don’t forget to update it so you don’t forget anything!

For anyone looking to branch out with a new kind of planner, I would definitely recommend some sort of ring-bound or disc-bound planner that allows you the flexibility to move sheets. From experience I know that it is very frustrating to realize your pages are in the wrong order, and as a perfectionist, I have a hard time getting over that. A ring bound planner lets you have the freedom to move things and create to your heart’s desire.

Filofax Malden A5 As a plan-centered and organized person, I always have a planner. Always. I might not lug it everywhere, but I have to use one to keep me organized.
