Actually the DIN norms for the paper sizes in A or B line originate in Germany. The clue for both is, you can go up or down a size by folding or doubleing a paper within these lines (A4 is double the size of A5, B5 is double the size of B6... the B sizes fall inbetween the A sizes). Sorry for the lengthy unasked for infos 😊. GREAT video!

I agree, unless you already know what size notebook works for you, trying out some different sizes would definitely help. When I was first getting into stalogy notebooks and didn't want to buy three sizes at once, I remember printing out pages that were the same size as the paper (a6, b6, a5) so I could see if the paper was a size I was comfortable with!

Thank you I was wondering about these Stalogy things, I keep hearing about them. Not something I've seen in a store, but haven't been shopping in quite some time, over a year. And especially thank you for mentioning the number of pages and *COST PER PAGE* omg why does nobody talk about that? You're my kind of analyzer. (I've even been known to not only calculate how many miles per gallon I'm getting, but worked out a spreadsheet where I could also calculate how far my car would travel on one penny of gasoline in feet). Yes I'm weird. But how else can you compare apples to apples without cost per page, or at the grocery store price per ounce and so on? sometimes the biggest size is more expensive than a smaller size, by a LOT. I might get that from a math class I took in high school. We had an assignment in Geometry class to go to a local pizza place and figure out what size of pizza was the cheapest. I just looked at plain cheese pizza, and it turned out that Medium was cheapest, by square inches. I was surprised, but maybe it's because more people order that size so they have more of those crusts made up ahead of time? I didn't do it for every combination let's not go crazy here.

Just a clarification for other US people watching or listening (I had turned my back so I didn't see the on-screen display - at first) $0.07 and $0.08 are referenced as you said in cents. However, the Archer and Olive threw me off when you said $0.2 cents. The written form is $0.20 and stated as "twenty cents". I'm not picking I love the video, I'm just saying it In case anyone had to do a double-take and rewind as I did.

Your review sold me on the stalogy (although nervous about the paper). Could you share how many squares are on the A5 vs the B6?

Hey Jackie, so I find what works best for me is to keep the majority of my collections in my b6 Stalogy (which is my bullet journal). However, some types of notes, such as my notes on books I read, as well as recipes I keep in separate locations (another stalogy and a recipe box) since I take a lot of these types of notes and if I kept them in one place they would fill up my bujo too quickly. I do know of a couple of people who like to use a separate notebook just for notes and collections so they can keep their planning pages separate, I think choosing one or the other depends on what you feel would make most sense to your brain.
