## Resource

In this episode Helen shares how she’s getting on with her Hobonichi system, a year after making the switch from Bullet Journaling. We did an episode on this switch in early 2024 - you can listen to that episode here , where Helen shared why switching over the New Year was a bad idea. And so, a year later, we revisited this topic to hear how Helen is getting on, what’s adapted and whether she still needs a suitcase to carry around her growing sticker collection. I ask Helen about the Hobonichi system, how it differs from Bullet Journaling, how she organises her stickers, whether Helen then keeps each notebook and how her system works. Helen shares more about the Hobonichi eco-system, bulldog clips & paper clips and how she’s had to retire her massive collection of Washi tape. We also talk about or mention: Mark and Fold stationers & our chat on the show with founder Amy . Atoms to Astronauts notebooks Lamy Fountain Pens (aff link) Our interview with Fountain Pen legend, Urban Hafner And lovely kind comments left on Rob’s video from fellow stationery freaks (Some images of Helen's planner are shared in the newsletter ).
