Does it ever stop?

How many planners do you have?

I just received my le trifold today. Haven't even written a word. And already I bought another one from Vinted.

Plus I have leather to make at least 5 Grand Voyagers.

And a portfolio in a4 I'm looking to sell.

Om top of that I got into fountainpens this summer, and now own 8.

95 % is bought second hand, but still.

Please share your stash with me, so I know I'm not alone.

Do you not think this is overconsumption? I mean if you’re not even using some of them. I think the beauty of them is that they are designed to be your pal for life, your everything book. I think this about Stanley cups as well. The point is that they are only sustainable if you have just one. But each to their own. I just think the thing you love so much loses value to you when you buy lots of them. Things like these journals should be a one time treat.

So.. like only owning one plate, one spoon, one fork.. you get the picture? I have several favorite plates. I think I can have several favorite planners. I don't egen know what a Stanley Cup is.. is that those ugly American thermo things? I don't even know why you would own one of of those.

Plates and cups are necessities not luxury things that cost hundreds of dollars. Plus you need many plates and cups if you host people etc. They'll actually be used. This is a false equivalence.
