🔴 Inside the weird micro-economies of Planner Consumerism
Inside my most recent hyper-fixation: the Cult of Planners. Even more specifically, hobonichi planners. People obsessed with planners have formed extensive international communities online, and lots of interesting small (mostly home-based) businesses have popped up within these ecosystems: sticker shops and subscription plans, importer/exporters for foreign planner brands, makes of duplicates of planners and planner accessories, micro-influencers called "PR girls" for sticker shops, and even resellers of washi tape. We'll talk about what this world is like. In today's Talking Dough and Eating Donuts, we cover the hobonichi "cult", plus a few other types of planner "cults" (Erin Condren, Midori, Filofax, Jibun Techo) and more about the consumerism of planners.
