Planner + Wallet = Planner Wallet

So for the longest time ever, I've struggled between sizes. Recently, the Mr has told me to accept the truth and move on - accept the fact that the regular size is my jam and as much as I want to make the passport work for me, it is not happening anytime soon.

I have drooled over videos of other planner lovers setup, IG pictures that inspired me (and made me feel that I could do it), and I tried. I set my passport up as my wallet and EDC, and that lasted for maybe a day or two, then I had to change my setup again to the regular size. Honestly, this has been a constant struggle that I go through.

Minimalism has always been something that fascinates me and inspires me. It's been a struggle and so far I have manage to minimalize my handbag :D Even before, I don't really carry a wallet, but more of cardholders as it's slim and does not add weight, a notebook, tons of pens and a makeup bag. Ever since I found the Travelers Notebook ~ about 3+ years ago, I've been using my planner as my wallet. That's how much I love my TN. Also, it's super convenient to have it all in one place and not have to search things around other places.


In my search for the perfect wallet insert, I have used:

• the TN 008 Zipper Case and 007 Card Holder 
• Baum-Kuchen & 1.61 Soft Goods Essential leather zipper case
• Traveler's Factory X fourrouf Zipper Case in Olive

The one that I am currently using is my fourrouf Olive wallet insert as it is not heavy and does not add bulk. Honestly, I am thinking of getting these two:

• [TSLxBK] Travel for Life Wallet in Grey canvas with orange
• Baum-Kuchen & 1.61 Soft Goods Essential Lambskin zipper case

But since I have promised myself that I will have more self-restraint and not buy things that I do not need (or will sell off what I have to make space for things I want), I have been pretty good at not going on a shopping haul :)

We'll see how long I manage to hold on to my self-restraint :P
