A Less Expensive Entry into A5 Planner Systems? Exploring the Laconic System

Discover the Laconic A5 notebook and its smart notebook inserts with me today! 📓 I’ll put Laconic’s 96 gsm paper head-to-head with Plotter paper—testing fountain-friendly ink bleed, feathering, and that oh-so-smooth writing experience. Plus, I’ll show you how Laconic’s undated planner pages give you total freedom to start planning whenever inspiration strikes (no more wasted pages!). ✨🖋️

I am going to be adding these in to my A5 Plotter as I learn what will work for me in the world of the A5 ring bound system. The Laconic is less expensive, so it is a great way to try out the ring system to see if it will be a good fit for your needs.

I purchased the notebook and papers from The Gentleman Stationer.
