I’ve been reading everyone’s year-end recaps and new year’s resolutions and feeling like I need to jump on that bandwagon! But I can’t say I have any sweeping overviews or grand intentions.

Plotter is an intriguing Japanese planner system I’ve been salivating over since at least 2018– apparently without ever having actually written a blog post about it! I was always frustrated that I couldn’t figure out how to order one of these notebooks for US delivery, so I was thrilled to see that the brand is … Continue reading Plotter USA Launch
It’s that time of year again… but I’m a little less excited this year about the new diaries from Nolty. Or perhaps I should say I’m less excited about trying to figure out what the Nolty 2022 diaries are!
