I finally filled up my little A6-sized Muji notebook that I bought years ago! I’d just finished another one I’d been using for my morning pages, so I grabbed the Muji next – turns out it only had a few pages left. A couple of days later, done! That makes two notebooks finished (and out of my life) in one week. I still have a few more blank ones waiting for their turn, but I’m definitely making progress on my notebook decluttering mission!

I recently bought a monthly paper planner to explore the world of non-digital planning. Right now, I’m figuring out how it integrates with my digital planning and journaling. To start, I plan to use it for tracking upcoming vacations and noting small wins throughout the day. While researching, I found it interesting that many people use paper planners as a logbook for reflection, while digital planners focus on future events. That approach makes sense to me, so I’m curious to see how my system evolves!
Today we visited the Maido stationery shop at Mitsuwa Marketplace in Costa Mesa. They had such a great selection of fountain pens and inks, but I’m proud to say I showed some restraint and didn’t buy anything – I have more than enough pens already! Still, it was fun to browse.
The Pilot Prera is my new favorite fountain pen. It feels so good!
