What Worked and What Didn’t // My Thoughts on the Papertess B5 Manager After Using It For Work

In December I shared a detailed setup video on the B5 Manager from Papertess. In that video I walked you thru the setup and talked to you in detail about how I planned to use it for work. I was so excited and hopeful that it was going to be the perfect fit for me for work. But if you saw my work planner update video you know that I've moved out of the Papertess B5 Manager for Q2 2025. As much as I love the concept behind this planner and as much as I think it's a beautiful planner, it ultimately just didn't work for me...as a work planner.

Honestly I think it would have been the perfect work planner for me a few years ago before my role in our department changed and before I was wearing so many different hats at work. But sadly, it just wasn't working and as a result I was feeling scattered and unorganized and I was afraid I was going to miss something. In this video we'll go thru and talk about my thoughts on this planner after using it for the 1st quarter of 2025. We'll chat about what I loved and what I didn't love, what worked and what didn't work. Just a little insight into why this planner is no longer part of my line-up for 2025.
