Let’s talk about planner stacks! Why do we have so many? I recently posted a video about all of the planners and notebooks I plan to use in 2024. Watch the video below and check out my thoughts on planner stacks below. Then head over to the comment section on YouTube and let me know your thoughts!
It’s so easy to judge and feel incredulous when you see huge planner stacks. They’re often full of fancy and or expensive planners and stationery. Why on earth would anyone need all of that excess stuff?!

Content Creator Planner Stacks
It’s a hard balance as a content creator that makes planner videos. I know I don’t need all of this stuff, but I have it for work. And I like to make content showing people how they can use things. But it’s important to me to be authentic about it.

This means I need to actually use it and understand how it can help a person organize their lif. I don’t want to just make a video about something because someone sent it to me for free. I have done that in the past and making that kind of content is not for me.
Huge Planner Stacks Make Sense – For Some!
This is not shade to anyone that does that! There is a place for that. People need to see details of products before they spend their hard earned dollars on them. Sometimes certain brands have small photos with almost no detail (*cough* Erin Condren *cough*). It’s practically impossible to make an informed purchasing decision without the content that these creators make.

Don’t Impulse Shop to Build a Planner Stack
It’s never my intention to have people think they need all this to stay organized. I want to show some options and maybe one of them will work for you. Maybe you learned that because my content gave you an idea for how you could use it. I do not want to contribute to the FOMO (fear of missing out) and other feelings of scarcity. And I don’t want to cause people to impulse buy something they don’t need and build out huge planner stacks.

I Only Need 2 Planners and 1 Goal Notebook in my Planner Stack
That is my opion on planner stacks from a creator’s perspective. I’m also a person that LOVES AND USES STATIONERY. That would not change even if I deleted my channel and my social media. I know that I would still want to get my hands on all these goodies. But I definitely would NOT buy as much as I do now. I buy almost everything you see in my content with my own money unless it’s something a brand sends to me ahead of a launch. I usually can’t buy that early.
If I were not a crazy person that talks about planners on the internet, I would only need 3 books. 2 planners (1 for home, 1 for work) and 1 goal setting notebook. I do have a lot more in my planner stack right now because I have to use stuff to talk about it online.

As a regular consumer of stationery, I would not need all of this stuff. I do not think you need all of this stuff. If you want all of this stuff, that’s okay too! If you want shelves full of planner covers and sticker books and drawers full of washi tape — do it! Bring yourself joy however you can. ????
