4, MAYBE 5. I get overwhelmed easily, it’s so fascinating to see how some people in the comments have 7+ notebooks, my head would overheat and explode.😅
I'm also quickly overwhelmed, but switched to more notebooks this year so I can actually only see what I'm looking at, in combination with wanting to use less electronics. I got lost in using only 1 or 2 notebooks in the past, which is why I switched up. Although 3 might not be seen as notebooks according to where you put the line. - A thin A6 line softcover that is my agenda, in the front I number a few months divided over 2 pages per month, so each day has 1 line only. In the back I have 2 pages per year, with 3-4 lines per month, so if I have an appointment in 2026 or even 2027, I can just write it down at the right month. But nothing else goes in that notebook, which means this very thin (40-80page) notebook will serve as my agenda for almost 3 years, if I stay consistent. And although I don't know if I stay that consistent and if the booklet will hold out that long, but I haven't been this consistent with an agenda since/before high school, more than 15 years ago. So it is a major win. - A A5 ringband that is my recipebook, because they kept getting lost on loose cards or inside my bullet journal - A very basic to-do list ring binder, bound on top, I would call it half an A5, but not like A6. It has lines with boxes at the end to cross off and the pages can easily be ripped out, which is how I use it for some lists. The other ones are A5'ish more regular notebook style, but these 3 that bring the total from 7 to 10 are quite a bit less typical.
Same for me. I have daily bujo. 5 year journal. And my reading journal is gathering dust somewhere because around July it started to be too much to keep up 😅
I also don't understand how people have so many notebooks. I have one diary for dates, one commonplace journal, and a tiny binder for to-do lists or other lists.
I have my Master Planner which has to be a huge binder bc my weekly layouts are 11 pages each, and monthly are 3 pages each. Then I have my brain dump notebook, my Daily Doodles & Scribbles calendar book, my 30 Day challenges calendar book, my fitness planner, my nutrition and hydration planner, my Dream Diary, my daily reflections planner,my weekly reflections planner, my monthly What's Happening in my Life planner, my mood/challenges/gratitude journal, my daily intentions/manifestation planner,my Daily Affirmations mini planner, my gardening mini planners (1 daily mini agenda book, a daily mini calendar book, a Field Guide book, and a plant and care info planner), my financial planners (bill planner + budget planner+ business finances planner), my household planner, my business planner, my daily scheduling/appointment book, my Agendas planner, Meetings planner, project planner, beauty & fashion planner, personal development workbook + planner, a Research & Development notebook, social planner, extra curricular planner, school agenda/planner + assignment planner notebook, my Recovery planner, habit tracker notebook, routines tracker notebook, checklists notebook, travel planner,& spiritual planner + prayer notebook. I am involved in a million clubs, classes, sports,+ activities; run a business, & have school, church, and so on, so having a separate planner for each aspect of life (or more than one, oftentimes) helps keep all the elements separate and accounted for, while the master planner ties everything in together so nothing is forgotten (for ex, daily schedule with tasks from every aspect of life & so on).
Heck yeah 💪 remember that it’s okay to skip a day if need be 😊 I have days where my “everyday” journal doesn’t get used for one reason for another (sickness, busyness, etc.) 💜
I tried having three notebooks last year: gardening/chickens, homeschool planning, and every day (monthly, daily, goal/habit, reading, event planning). I just can't seem to keep up with the multiple books! This year, I have moved most of my homeschool planning to an online planning tool and am considering seriously pruning what's in my gardening journal or maybe ditching it. Almost everything else is in my everyday journal. One stop recording seems to work best for me.
Reading Journal, Cyclic “Everyday” Planner, Long Term Collections, Knitting Journal, Knitting R&D Journal, Project Tracker, & Swatchbook… ideally. I also have Mini Travelers that my husband is supposed to make me a little folio for. One for quotes, one for random ideas of things I’d like to make/skills to learn/new hobbies to try and a third that’s things I want to do/places I want to go/restaurants to try… etc. I like them as little notebooks because they’re portable and when full, you just take it out & replace it and catalogue it. With the quotes one, I then go back and see what still resonates with me and maybe add them to art projects or whatnot. You’re my inspiration. I think Cyclic planning will make it far more functional for me. I’ll do a quarterly layout with each week for things like meals & appointments & a weekly “would be nice if” list of things to get done. I just don’t think daily is something I can keep up with in terms of writing everything out but having the week at a glance & planning meals in advance somewhat should help a LOT with budgeting and the goal of losing weight. My Knitting R&D journal is pretty cool. When opened to a spread, it’s lined on the right side and grid on the left side. It works nicely that I have a space to draw designs and mark out stitch counts or pattern repeats for new design possibilities and lined paper for doing grading math or just making notes. I’m contemplating a daily journal that’s separate and all it does is track health symptoms and mental health stuff. I don’t want daily reminders of how crappy my body is in a regular planner, ya know? But that can just be a simple notebook.
Oh man. I’m impressed with all the multi use journal users. I struggle with more than one. In saying that, I’ve used a couple this year. Generally, though, I’m an everything just goes in one place kinda gal. In 2024, I’ve had 3 types of journals: 1. My everyday journal (1-3 annually depending how much I’m writing). 2. Annual collections (I keep this info in my phone notes all year and transfer it at year end. 3. I’m expecting next year so have done a pregnancy/baby journal to track how I’m feeling. What I’ve learned is 3 is too many and I’m excited to return to 1 when I’m able lol.
I use one every day journal (160 pages) for the entire year, and this year I'm also adding a travel journal. I do also have a small notebook for any lists or brain-storming, that I've started using this year!
6 I think - Everyday, annual, long term, reading, goals and commonplace. I notice you don't have a commonplace journal - it's where I store not only info on topics of interest (like ADHD) but also poems, quotes, etc that really appeal to me. I love it and need to add to it more often.
I have 7 notebooks for 2025 -Everyday Bujo - reading journal (pre printed) - Tarot reading/ “grimoire” -monthly reflection long form journaling. New to line up: -Commonplace -Nutrition/health -goal setting
@ I saw the idea on UA-cam, sometimes when we’re commuting, waiting or just feeling bored we grab our cellphone and scroll. An idle journal prevents that, the idea is to grab it and write or draw whatever comes into your mind. I enjoy art myself so I always have it with me to put it to use instead of scrolling.
I have my main journal, my notes/brainstorming/business goals journal, and a couple long term ones: one for tarot spreads that I like, my crafting journal, and my writing journal.
I’m going to try 3 this year: 1. A general notebook for seeing a full week at a glance (daily planning by week, I guess?) and lists, meeting notes, project info, etc., I reference all the time; 2. a health journal I can take with me to the doctor’s office (tracked by week, with space for notes from doctor’s appointments, tests, etc. 3. A goal “Amy improvement plan journal,” all about goal setting, habits, self reflection, etc. it’s a Passion Planner, but I’m only using it for that, not for daily plans. Fingers crossed! Edit: Whoops! I have a field notes-size commonplace book too, but that doesn’t change yearly-just when I fill it up.
I'm just getting back into "notebooking" after a hiatus due to illness, and this video made me feel a LOT better about my ambitious desire to have 5-6 different collections going! It seems like a lot of notebooks to start all at once, but I know that I work better when things don't get interrupted in the middle in my everyday notebook. I get stuck starting something new if I have a page where something is "hanging" (like thoughts from a book I'm still in the middle of reading or questions I need to ask that haven't been answered yet) and I like the idea of organizing them all out. It's nice to know I'm not alone!
Looking forward to gamification updates! I thought I could use this method for language learning but a bit stumped with spreads, we’ll see 😅 tysm for amazing ideas🥰
1, that's my reading journal with monthly calendars to keep me organised. I'm considering a swatch, memory book using one of the little ones from the A&O library sub box
This is fascinating to me! I have 1 planned and am going to start a reading journal in 2025 & that's it. I didn't know where you find the time to maintain several journals! But I'm glad you do, cause I love your content!
i will be doing a new everyday journal, a revamped collections journal, a new intentions journal, a new reading journal, carrying over my swatch book, carrying over my art journal, carrying over my wedding journal, carrying over my travel journal. i will also be adding an r&d journal to my line up as well!
What a fascinating insight into your collection, thanks for sharing! 📚 How many notebooks and planners will I use next year?! I'd estimate 12-15, but I'm still figuring it out, trying to simplify my systems, but videos like this make me want to ADD more journals. At a glance, here's my disorganised list of what I have so far: 1. Morning pages/ everything journal - a few per year, various brands, usually pale pink, usually with elastic closure 2. Commonplace notebook - Paperblanks Flexi Sun & Moonlight 3. LH Agenda planner for my creative endeavours (writing and art) 4. Otto Goals Planner for other parts of life (home, social, leisure and TAFE study) 5. The Rich in Life Planner and Diary (health) - this one's a maybe 6. Otto Personalised Planner (dotted) Habit Tracker and Checklists 7. Learning Log (art) - Otto green linen with buckle 8. Learning Log (anything) - thick Kaiser style with constellation cover 9. Learning Log (writing) - pink A5 notebook with elastic closure 10. Big Questions journal - Paper Crane ballet pink folio 11. Writing Process Diary - Otto spiral-bound The Dot Journal 12. Art Process Diary - A5 visual arts diary 13. Podcast notes - thin Otto 'you are one of a kind' notebook 14. Art aesthetic and experiments journals - 5-7 visual arts journals of various kinds and sizes 15. Vision Journal (values, word of the year, reflections & intentions, character etc) - Paperblanks magnetic closure flap 16. Miracles, memories and moments collection - small Paperblanks magnetic closure flap 17. Pocket notebook - small Paperblanks soft cover 18 . LH Agenda 'Write your Own Story' journal for mini-memoirs 19. Half a dozen 'Continue' composition books from Daiso - one per teacher for particular writing and art mentors 20. Devotions journals & sermon notes - various soft cover notebooks 21. A4 spiral bound scribble books for brainstorming goals, affirmations, IG content, anything 22. Therapy notes - 'Continue' Daiso composition book 23. TAFE notes - cute grey & white bird patterned Otto notebook 24. Masterclass notes - A5 Daiso dot grid notebook ... and onwards, I'm embarrassed to continue! ... more notebooks and journals contain handwritten drafts of some books ... UA-cam ideas notebook, in case I'm ever cloned and have time and courage to start Yes, my notebook game is out of control, but it serves as a second brain, and is about as chaotic and multi-passionate as my actual brain. When I travel I am very conflicted about which journals to take, and I worry about losing them if there's ever a disaster. Help!!! Ok, bye!
I also have several journals: two planners from Sterling Ink (one private, one for work), a reading journal, a finance journal, a journal for work-related stuff, a journal for studying and a journal for content creation ideas.... 🤗 Your journals are gorgeous, hope you'll enjoy them in the new year!
I have three. For the first time I am trying a Clever Fox Planner. It isn’t exactly what I wanted especially when it comes to layout but I just found myself struggling towards the end of this year to set up the already basic layout that I use. I am hoping that the combination printed layouts that I fill in along with the empty dot grid pages in the back will help me to keep consistent. My second journal is my medical journal which I think I started in 2023 but back dated to 2020. In my medical journal I keep track of visits to the doctor, dentist, chiropractor, etc. who I saw, what was discussed/done and any additional actions/medication prescribed. My third journal, new for 2025, is a long term collections journal. In the past I have put some spreads/collections in my everyday journal that I don’t really end up using and are often incomplete making me feel like I have wasted pages. So now if the collection isn’t specific for 2025 it can go in my long term collection instead. Edit because I realized that I have a two additional journals that I forgot about. One because I didn’t use it much last year but is involved in one of my goals for 2025: a Bible study/notes/prayer journal. The second one is a Clever Fox Budget Planner which is new to me and brings my total number of journals to five.
i usually start with a daily list/to do, language, drawing and misc journal. but frankly, no matter how few or how many notebooks i have, they all end up being “everything” notebooks lol. it’s impressive that you are able to keep yours all so specific and organised!
I have 5! 1) I have a Happy Planner for my primary every day. I find it saves me a TON of time, and I can create simple custom trackers once a week/month for the things I update daily. 2) Then I have a separate Work Journal where I track all aspects of my "professional" life, such as anything interesting that happened at work, or if I learned anything new, stuff like that. I update that roughly every other day, and it has a much more journal-like style to it. 3) I also have a Midori 1 year diary where I've been writing a quick mini-paragraph of how each day goes, and I've been enjoying it a lot, but I do have trouble remembering to write in it every day because I need to re-arrange my desk space better. It's a goal for 2025! 4) My "Stadge" book is basically just a cheap ring notebook that I use for all of my "sloppy" writing. This is my oldest designated notebook, as I started it way back in middle school! The name "Stadge" is a mis-spelling of "Stage" that I kept over the years as a reminder that perfect is the enemy of done. Each book gets a new number. I'm on Stadge 8 now! It's where I go to get an idea started without worrying about "ruining" my nicer books, and it's also just a good spot to write down random stuff that doesn't belong anywhere else, but I might still want to reference back to it one day. 5) And last but not least, I have a notebook for testing out new pens, markers, and highlighters when I get them. It gives me a space to uniformly test them for things like smudging and what-not, as well as how much I spent on them and if I'd consider buying them again.
This video was so fun! 2025 will be the first year I try having multiple notebooks at the same time, so it was very cool to see how you approach that. The ones in my line-up will be: - Everyday journal (mostly a reading journal and habit tracker journal) - One line a day journal - Gratitude journal (I found a printed one that is a colouring calendar, and I'm really looking forward to creating a zen moment for myself each week as I colour in that weekly) - Junk journal/creative journal for a creative way of memory keeping - Commonplace book Can't wait for the new year!
six journals, 5 of them being dotgrid a5 and one is a 5 year journal with prompts. And one memory keeping album. I've always gone for just one plus the 5year, but this year I want to try this out. Most excited for the rpg journal and the art journal!
Love your collection! I always though one bullet journal would be enough. Little did I know I'd introduce few more into my line-up during the last year and I plan on adding one more in 2025 😅 I have bullet journal, reading journal, 'when inspiration hits' (working title) journal, scribble journal, and I hope to setup fitness/health/meal journal at the start of 2025 :D All dots, all A5s except reading journal, trying a square for the first time next year :D
2. 1 TN for Personal use: 1 dot grid insert for traditional bujo logging, 1 insert for annual collections, and 1 larger insert for long term collections. The 1st insert covers about half a year. It is replaced when it’s full. The annual insert is replaced with the new year. The long term insert stays in. The second journal is also a TN for work. 1 dot grid insert for work bujo logging, and an insert for each long term project I’m working on. I find TN to be the perfect solution for having “multiple” journals with as few books as possible
I have a printed planner for my everyday, a "yearly collections" book journal where I can keep my yearly info, and that has room for multiple years in it. I also have my book review journal (I split them for this year, because I tend to fill up 2 review journals, and found I don’t keep up with the big trackers if they are in the first one once I’m in my second journal of the year.). Yes, I read a lot... I also am trying the 5 year journal this year.
I have 5 I think! 1. Hobonichi Cousin for everyday planning and memory keeping, 2. Reading Journal, 3. Longer term collections journal, 4. Scribble book/rough notes journal, 5. University planner I do have several idle journals for other things like tarot or gratitude that I am hoping to pick up at certain points of the year too!
I had been doing yearly bullet journals since 2018, and they functioned as an "everything journal". I kept work stuff, personal stuff, media trackers, swatches, memory keeping and scrapbook dumping all in one book. In the last couple of years, I eventually migrated my work planning into the hobonichi weeks to save time and keep things clear and organized. For 2024 i felt like i didnt want to do my traditional "everything journal" and instead made a media tracker journal (games, tv, books) with the ocassional "special event" scrapbook spreads for special events that popped up throughout the year. It's a chaotic mess, but it was meant to be a low-stakes creative outlet. For 2025, I'd like to start a new media journal that's more organized and with more space to write my thoughts and opinions. Im not sure if i will make a separate journal for memory keeping yet. I absolutely love the Life Admin Gamification method you have started. I hope to try it out for myself once i see more of it in action! Thank you for your inspiring content, helpful workshops, and for doing vlogmas even though you were sick! Take care!
Everyday journal, yearly collections journal, long term collections journal, 5 year journal, mental health journal, a grief journal, dates with my husband journal, and possibly starting a crochet journal.
I have 4 journals moving into the new year. First is my every day bujo. Second is my new long-term journal. Third is a daily health check in journal. This is a lined notebook where I quickly write what I plan to do for my health that day (what type of exercise, how I'm feeling if I'm taking a day off). My last notebook is a wellness journal based off of a book called "The Kindness Method" and therapy. I try to check in with my mental and physical health once a month or so and write out what is working and what isn't. I started that notebook with the "assignments" from "The Kindness Method" so I have that reference material in there, too.
I'm set to have two journals-- super excited to start a reading journal and then a personal journal-- and a work planner. PBB's rolling weekly layout works perfectly for me as a workweek planning tool, and the Hobonichi Techo Weeks is perfect for it.
I'm not switching much out this year. I'm torn between the white variant floral Tiefossi and trying out a B6 160GSM I found for my main journal, though it isn't a brand I'm familiar with, so a little apprehension there. Saying that, I don't use wet/dark pens, particularly. I struggle to keep up with weekly and daily spreads, so I keep yearly collections, plus trackers in there, and I'm thinking I might add just a to do list spread to the main tracker to make a kind of monthly-lite section. I generally just keep a small, pre-made diary for appointments etc. (Edit: Went with the Tiefossi and wow, it's so much thicker than I expected!) I also have a usually-A5 scribble journal I still need to select for next year, and an ongoing lined A6 quick notes book for when ideas strike. Less often updated and also being carried forward are my project books - one for events, one for writing and one for filmmaking. All of these are thick, lined not-quite-B5s so will last a while each.
I have my everyday bujo, my reading journal, a pre-printed tea journal that still has some space in it, and I'm going to attempt a cooking journal this year.
I'm going to split my bujo into two for next year: one for yearly and long-term collections, that I plan on using for several years, and an everyday journal, which will probably be enough for the whole year. (I almost had enough place in this year's bujo for the whole 2024. I realized that if I just pull out the yearly collections to a separate one, then I will be able to fit into one notebook for a year 😁). Other than that, I have a one line a day journal (same as what you call 5 year journal), a diary for long form journaling and a work bujo. So that adds up to 5. 💞
For 2025 I'll have: -A5 everyday to finish (will likely be full at end of January) -might use a square one after that -Reading journal -starting a yearly collections journal and a long term collections journal -using an a6 as an art/memory keeper (things like old projects from when I was a kid - I'll take a picture and put them in there and then the actual ones can go byebye....pictures of the Christmas cards I've been making the past few years...etc) And im debating between putting my favorite recipes on index cards or in an a5 in attempt to have it all in one spot and taking up way less room than it currently does 😂 So at least 5...maybe 6. And I expect to go through 3-4 everyday journals next year 😊
Assuming I follow through with my plan, I'm looking into 4 notebooks next year. The first time I'm attempting any expansive journaling beyond just filling out of pages with diarist posts. I want to try doing a 5 yr and I found a pre-printed one. Then one I'd been using for daily highlights since I got it, it might turn into something for brain downloads next year. One I'd had for 5 years and never used, maybe to try some layouts to keep track of my interests. And a spiral for commonplace stuff like interesting facts about people I'd heard of but admittedly know very little about.
I'm pretty new to BuJo still (I restarted back in May after a 2-3 month experiment the year before that then went into hibernation), but I only use 2: my every day journal and my testing/R&D notebook which mostly has plans for the next month's spreads (e.g. marker colors, spread ideas) and material examples (e.g. examples of the stencils I got to speed up some of my setup). Everything else I track (mostly knit/crochet/yarn projects, books read) have digital spaces (I've read 150+ books so far this year - even writing down all of those titles in a notebook would annoy me, haha).
Wonderful video! I’ve actually wondered how many journals you do every year, so thanks for sharing! I have 2 I’ll be using for sure: Home Planner by the Passionate Penny Pincher (to keep track of all life stuff: appointments, vacations, etc.). I also got a ‘purse-size’ planner that goes with it, so while I’m out & about I can be mindful of scheduled plans, without carrying the huge planner. The 2nd is a ‘doodle’ journal by AmandaRachLee, which has lots of pics you can color along the way. That’s got mood and other trackers in it. I’m excited to try it, because it’s going to be fun and creative. After watching your video here, I’ve decided to add 3 more: Reading journal (I’m going to try the 52 week reading challenge), the Long-term Collections journal, and a Health Journal. For me, anything more than that and it will be too much. Thanks for the inspo! ❤️🌹🎄
Okay, I'm glad it's not just me in the comments wondering how the heck people can run so many journals at once - I've struggled with keeping up with 2-3 this year xD
I’m still just getting back into this kind of journaling and only have 2 notebooks going into the new year with me. A reading journal and your typical monthly one.
I’m starting 2025 with an insane number of notebooks considering I only got back into planning and journalling last year! I’ve got my Saint Belford Curation 2025 planner, which has everything I need to set goals, habit track, plan etc. I used one for 2024 and it’s the first time I’ve consistently used a planner since uni; I really enjoyed its layered approach to goals, habits and tasks! I can move stuff that was in my bujo this year in there too since they added some dot grid pages at the back this year. Then I have a Hobonichi Hon Techo for daily journalling, and an A&O for creative memory keeping, for those things I want to celebrate. My LT1917 reading journal is continuing into 2025, and then I have a Hobonichi weeks for a writing journal that I can use to scribble down story ideas and observations. There’s also a small commonplace that will continue on till it’s full, and then my dedicated novel planning notebooks. And finally, my work bujo, since I keep work separate from personal. My sister, a veteran bujo-er, said she doesn’t want to think about what my evening routine will be like! 😂
Still have to finish my everyday journal as I started with the academic year. But I might add a reading journal and like a habit journal/self care journal. But maybe I will add that in with the reading journal but not sure 😅
For me this year it's going to be the Artist of Life workbook that I bought and print in 2020 🙈 that cover pretty much everything from goal setup to monthly and quarterly set up and review and an undated planner to carry on daily tasks to achieve said goals. I'm slowly working through the stuff I want, once I get rid of all of my undated planners then I'll try to set a bullet journal. In the meantime I'll be enjoying your content.
I have my daily A5 (2 per year), a collections B5 that I use across several years, combining yearly and long-term collections, and a pocket-size media journal that I started using mid year. I’d tried reading/kpop journals in the past but couldn’t keep up with them bc of the time and effort to make spreads look as nice as I wanted them. This pocket journal is working really well for me bc it’s not decorative at all- each page is just a brief mini review of a book, show, game, album, etc.
I also like having quite a lot of notebooks haha: a bullet journal, long term collections journal, dream journal, therapy notebook, music albums journal (which I'm thinking about retiring and having a media journal instead), travel journal, roller coasters notebook which I use to write down the rollers coasters I've ridden, 5 year journal, daily diary, concerts memories journal, an "on this day in" journal, several scribbles notebooks, music learning notebook and dutch learning notebook 😂 I've also been thinking about adding a memories journal in which to add pictures of big highlights of my life, but I'm waiting to see how I want to organize that one haha
I have 2 notebooks (maybe 3) for 2025. I have been using the Emma Kate co Vertical diary for a few years now and the set up really works for me. There are enough dot grid pages at the back for what I need so I have got that one for my everyday journal. I am also starting a Commonplace book for things which interest me (with particular focus on self-reflection). The third notebook I'm considering is a reading journal.
i have still maintained keeping all my planning in 1 journal. I do use a B5 so more space but yeah. i take that thing everywhere. looking forward to moving into a B5 archer and olive for 2025
I'm an everything journal kind of person, so I have my main one with yearly/quarterly/monthly/daily and collections in a 400 pages Moleskine, plus a diary, plus a 7-years-cycle goals one. I only use spare notebooks (from high school and university years) from time to time to jot down messy brainstorms or lists, stuff that needs to be refined before making any sense.
I'm going to use two notebooks for Bullet Journal and one for reading journal. And I'm thinking about setting aside one notebook to organize my study sections better.
Looking in 25 to have 1 everyday journal, and then I have a separate journal for each novel I write. I also want to get into having a reading journal, which didn't go great in 24, but the Goober reading prompts looked like fun, so I wanna try seeing up some space for that :)
1-songwriting journal, 2-gaming journal, 3-journalling journal - all 3 of these are being continued with a 2025 refresh. I do have a new 4th journal which I intend to be an everyday Bullet journal, goal planning and collections.
I had a monthly calendar + notes pages for this but it could NOT handle my life with my new job. I converted to a hobonichi and quickly sized up to a standard TN size of (pretty much) same layouts... In the last month or so has been added a daily journal (A7 daily), and a scrapbook memory keeping type thing. 2025 is gonna be an A6 (daily journal), A health and wellness Kinbor weeks (habit tracking for domestic cleaning, monthly pages to track my garden notes -planting, harvest, growth, pruning, blah, blah-, weekly pages for what I'm eating daily and the weekly memo page for dinner meal plans, and notes pages are goals and my gym sessions), and a more traditional bujo (future log, goals, month + weekly planning done in real time. Using Dutch doors + notes for scribble plans), tn insert (a momento/ephemera memory keeping), and one last TN insert (professional development notes for work). I'm stoked to get started!!! Already some of it is working... Loving it!!!
My two regular notebooks are a Hobonichi Weeks Mega - I bullet journal in the notes pages - and an A5 Dot Grid notebook that's my writing/creativity notebook. Not really a notebook, I have the HB90 planner loaded onto my ReMarkable tablet. I also have a steno notebook for my paycheck job, and one that's specific to my plans to buy my own place, one that's in my car's glove compartment where I record gas and maintenance, a quotes book, and I've made some attempts at setting up a long-term projects bujo but never got that off the ground.
I am using 8 books this year. Yikes lol 1.I am using a Christian planner for any Bible reading, prayer request that sort of thing. (B5) 2. Everyday journal which is a Buke.(A5) 3. I am using another Buke for my Long term collections (A5) 4&5. Are spiral notebooks for my yearly collections and for my craft and UA-cam notes on stuff like your channel or craft things I want to try. kind of like your R&D books.(A5) 6. Is a weekly planner that I use for my future log stuff. I just put it in the date on the calendar, any appointments, birthdays, weekly pages I use for my rough idea to do list, brainstorming and weather tracking. Dates I am watching my grandson.. stuff that has a future date.(B5) 7. Is an art junk journal. Use it whenever the mood strikes me (Composition) 8. I use a 3 ring binder for my reading journal because I track the books by author and anytime I read or wish to read something I can add pages or write more in that series
I have an everyday planner/journal that changes each year, and then my year-over-year journals are: - 10-years goals journal - crafting/learning journal - Shakespeare / scholarship journal - board and video game journal - reading journal - writing journal for a novel I'm working on - swatch/supplies journal amazing how they just seem to multiply...
1. Work bujo 2. Work notebook 3. Personal bujo 4. Memories journal 5. Learning notebook 6. Small daily notebook for notes 7. Long term collections journal
I'm using 6 planners/journals next year. I have a travel journal (from Papershire), a reading journal and a daily journal (both from A&O) and then I have 2 7x9 coiled plannera for my memory planner and my 3 year journal (doing 3 years instead of 5 to take me to my 30th birthday!) This is the most I've ever had, but I am very excited! 🎉
I clicked on this video because I saw books. I love books and I love reading. As for journaling, I've tried it but, I've gone years without an entry. I have no idea how you manage to write in so many journals. The covers of the books are pretty, I especially like the square one
I have an A5 Hobonichi Cousin for everyday stuff. I am going to try tracking my reading in the weekly section of the cousin, since I can't find a pre-made reading journal I like but don't want to fully make my own reading journal yet. I also have my knitting project/Fair book, which is just an old composition book, to keep track of knitting projects and what I enter into the county fair each year and how each entry does.
3 for me. Always a scribble book. A new a5 daily bujo. And a b5 that I'm calling my character journal where I'm expanding on jess' gamification system by adding more elements of dungeons and dragons as well as some from stardew valley
I have a preprinted teaching planner I use everyday, an A5 dot grid creative journal, an A5 dot grid art journal, and a B5 blank paper grief journal. I love to read, but I haven’t created a reading journal yet 😅
I've got two at the moment, though I want to add some more! I've got one for my thesis research and writing, another for work/life that I'm probably going to split into two, and I want to add a reading journal! I'm also interested in possibly doing one for cooking and baking, just to keep all the recipes I like/make in one place. So at the moment 2, most likely I'll end up with 5!
1. Reading bullet journal 2. Day designer daily planner 3. Daily grind planner 3. Happy planner weekly and daily planner Yes I’m aware it’s a lot but also still deciding
I have six journals. 1 yearly Bullet Journal (A&O A6). 2 Do Something New (Reading/Cooking/Hiking/Day Trips/State Parks) Journal (A&O 8x8). 3 Professional Growth/Work Project Journal (A&O Mark Your Pages 8x8). 4 Mentoring PDP with my boss journal (A&O A7). 5 Multiyear smash journal for brain dumps, idea lists, wish lists, memory keeping, tickets stubs, Polaroids, etc.(dot matrix A6). 6 multiyear garden set up journal (lined A6).
In 2025: 1. Everyday journal - experiences everyday (more likely eventful days like 2-3 days in a wk) 2. Work journal - projects & references 3. Dream journal - rarely used 4. Collections journal - references 5. Monthly planner - events, monthly faves, socmed tracker These are my main trackers but I almost always use the monthly and daily planner! ✨
It’s been trial and error for me through it the years. I have tried everything in one book. I have tried lots of planners and journals. I think 2025 is the year I have figured it out. My Hobonichi weeks is basically the heartbeat. The center of all my planners and journals and from there it expands out to the other journals. So my Hobonichi weeks will capture pretty much what I do in a day. What happened. What I ate. Did I work out What books I read. What movies and tv shows I read. And also a journaling section where I can expand on my thoughts if needed but I’m not pressured to journal every day. Basically my life in a year collection. Then those topics in my Hobonichi weeks gets expanded and in more detail. Such as a reading journal, a fitness journal, a health and wellness journal, a finance planner. And all these journals/planners are not yearly. I will use another notebook once it’s complete which can take years. So I’m actually only buying the Hobonichi weeks every year. So my lineup so far: Life in a year: Hobonichi weeks Health and Wellness: a5 Magic and I planner Fitness journal: A&O XL pocket journal Finance Planner: a repurposed and redesigned older Hobonichi weeks that can be used for several years. Reading journal: A reading journal specifically for books. Cant remember the brand. Recipe and food journal: B6 slim MD notebook Big Emotions dairy: Midori 1day1page notebook (undated portion) Gratitude journal: Midori Mini 5 year Diary Stationery collections and swatches: MD a6 notebook I think that’s all. Maybe. lol
Oh. I also have a few sketching and watercolor notebooks. A Travelers company Traveler notebook for junk journaling or event/happenins journaling. And in my purse as an everyday carry that stays in my bag: A passport Travelers notebook that houses my monthly calendar for on the go apt scheduling when I’m out and about. Grocery list: a7 md notebook. Catch all notes (scribble scrabble): a6 slim MD ring notebook Beauty/Nail polish swatch collection : Passport Travelers Notebook. Ok. I that’s it. lol
Awww… Jess EMBRACE an all blue-jo lineup!! My lineup for 2025 will include my ‘standard’ bujo (they tend to last roughly six months, so I have two), my new reading journal (2024 one was a Notebook Therapy standard size, which is a little smaller, my 2025 one will be the Archer and Olive one that came in a sub box with blue pages). 2024 I got a Hobinchi for gratitude journaling, but haven’t been consistent so I won’t get another. I also have a Travelers Notebook with inserts for travel journaling, tea journaling, ink swatching but I don’t reach for that one on a daily basis.
woah 2 minites ago lets gooo!!! oh and for 2025 i have a b5 grid notebook that i got on amazon its my very first bullet journal. its my everyday but for anything longer than that like goal setting and stuff im putting it on my 2025 notion. creating a reading journal and 5 year journal on notion too. im also gonna try cyclic planning and a version on the gamification(thank you so much for the inspo its getting me excited for the new year)
I am excited to go into 2025 with my bujos😊 I have 8! My daily organizer, my book book, my deer diary, my Jesus journal, my receipe book, my language journal, my art journal, and my yearly collections journal!
When I 1st saw the thumbnail I thought "Did she see Sarra C's lineup and toss in an 11th to match?" 😆 I know, I know, you filmed this before she uploaded her lineup video. 😝
Right now I have; main planner (both work and personal in one horizontal weekly planner), main planner 2 (work and personal in vertical weekly planner), everyday journal, reading journal.
I have what I call practice books as well, but I don’t really class those as journals, I don’t really journal in them, I just test out stencils, washi tapes, new pens, etc.
2025 will be year one for me. Until I can find my groove, I won't be investing in the nicer products, such as Archer & Olive. I love the square design of a journal, but I don't yet know if their formatting will work for me. I am starting out with the Happy Planner line because I think they are cute, and I can easily move things around in them. One is an actual journal, and the other is a Black Friday notebook, both in the Classic size. I'm also using two separate A5 notebooks I have had for more than a year now. I'm using washi tape to lay things out before I make things permanent, and I am going to commit to making one section in one of the A5s as a Reading Journal. I have purchased stickers that will grace the pages in that section to write down the names of each book of the Bible. I plan to color the books after I have finished reading them, and I am also going to have a notes section to jot down Scriptures from each book that stands out to me, as well as another section for character studies. So far, I think the structure for my reading journal is the only one I have well thought out! As for the rest, I will be flying by the seat of my pants.
I tend to go through 2 everyday journals for the year, and a multi-year reading journal. I started a little softcover pocket journal for health stuff, so I can track things/record questions etc and easily take it with me to the doc --> this will likely change as I figure out what are symptoms that I need to track vs not. (I also have several art focused journals, but I won't go into those).
I’m moving into a sterling ink horizontal planner for next year and I haven’t decided if I’m continuing with my passion planner weekly planner or moving it into a sterling ink as well. Right now I have 2 bujo (one for daily planning and one for weekly) because it didn’t get set up effectively with enough room to do both in a single book, thus the sterling ink. I generally use A&O notebooks so this is going to be quite an experiment. If I hate the paper I have a couple blank notebooks I can move into.
I have an a5 for my main bujo, and then a pocket a6 for keeping on me when I want to get away from my phone/am at work. It’s also kind of a commonplace journal?? Sort of. Just whatever I need that typically gets jotted down in my phone.
Hi Jashii, I’ll be using 4 journals for 2025. 1. Bullet journal (weekly set-up) 2. Daily journal 3. A scribbler notebook 4. Another daily planner. I really enjoy your ideas and videos!!!😊
I have 1 work planner, 1 hobo cousin, 1 brain storming, 1 reading, 1 writing journal, 1 shadow journal, 1 sketch journal and 1 work notebook. Total of 8 😮.
Oh interesting - fortnightly planning didn't quite work for me either - but the general cyclic planning is defenitly a keeper! I haven't had luck with my reset weeks tho. Either I had planned so much ahead for that week that it didn't make sense to have it as a reset week, or I just actually didn't know what to do or at least how to start with it. I have been thinking of just seeng what weeks are more free and then make them resets, rather than it being neatly every 13th week. But maybe you in 2025 would like to make a video about the practicalities around a reset week, and not just the setup. Like you in other videos decribe how to use certain layout? I'm not realy measuring my notebooks in years, but I am at the moment using a reguar dotgrid BuJo, a regular diary and two different types of preprinted journals/calenders trackers; one that is made by another creator, for spiritual connecting and reflecting and self development and one for tracking and learning about+from and refleting on my period. I'm not continueing that one whrn it endswith the year tho, but I learned from it and might take some inspiration to track and reflet in my BuJo. In stead I am going to by a calender/refelctions journal based off of 2025's astrology, also made by (Danish) creators 🥰🥰 Thanks so much as always for what you do here, it really helps, inspires and brings love!
Technically 3 notebooks. But I'll be using a traveler's style B6 cover that houses 2 of them. 1 for cycles & periods and 1 for daily journaling. And then my 4-year journal is getting carried forward to its 3rd year. Also I'm literally at the end of my journal that I started in 2022 😅 using the last pages for the cycles of this year. I'm actually currently using old notebooks to do my daily journaling in as the journal I was using is full 😂 (currently a Nightmare before Christmas lined ringed hard cover, it has a little Zero in the bottom of each page)
I have (1) true planner and a journal that I do anything fun in! the planner is a standard planner that i just use some bujo methods with and the other journal has anything from poetry, movie reviews, moodboards, to long-form journaling. I find that this is the max amount of things I can keep up with personally, but I do also have quite the extensive sketchbook collection so my vices may just be elsewhere (people with 4+ journals scare me LOL)
4, MAYBE 5. I get overwhelmed easily, it’s so fascinating to see how some people in the comments have 7+ notebooks, my head would overheat and explode.😅
I'm also quickly overwhelmed, but switched to more notebooks this year so I can actually only see what I'm looking at, in combination with wanting to use less electronics. I got lost in using only 1 or 2 notebooks in the past, which is why I switched up. Although 3 might not be seen as notebooks according to where you put the line.
- A thin A6 line softcover that is my agenda, in the front I number a few months divided over 2 pages per month, so each day has 1 line only. In the back I have 2 pages per year, with 3-4 lines per month, so if I have an appointment in 2026 or even 2027, I can just write it down at the right month. But nothing else goes in that notebook, which means this very thin (40-80page) notebook will serve as my agenda for almost 3 years, if I stay consistent. And although I don't know if I stay that consistent and if the booklet will hold out that long, but I haven't been this consistent with an agenda since/before high school, more than 15 years ago. So it is a major win.
- A A5 ringband that is my recipebook, because they kept getting lost on loose cards or inside my bullet journal
- A very basic to-do list ring binder, bound on top, I would call it half an A5, but not like A6. It has lines with boxes at the end to cross off and the pages can easily be ripped out, which is how I use it for some lists.
The other ones are A5'ish more regular notebook style, but these 3 that bring the total from 7 to 10 are quite a bit less typical.
Same for me. I have daily bujo. 5 year journal. And my reading journal is gathering dust somewhere because around July it started to be too much to keep up 😅
I have three notebooks: a commonplace, a planner/diary, and a memory book and sometimes those are too much
I also don't understand how people have so many notebooks. I have one diary for dates, one commonplace journal, and a tiny binder for to-do lists or other lists.
I have my Master Planner which has to be a huge binder bc my weekly layouts are 11 pages each, and monthly are 3 pages each. Then I have my brain dump notebook, my Daily Doodles & Scribbles calendar book, my 30 Day challenges calendar book, my fitness planner, my nutrition and hydration planner, my Dream Diary, my daily reflections planner,my weekly reflections planner, my monthly What's Happening in my Life planner, my mood/challenges/gratitude journal, my daily intentions/manifestation planner,my Daily Affirmations mini planner, my gardening mini planners (1 daily mini agenda book, a daily mini calendar book, a Field Guide book, and a plant and care info planner), my financial planners (bill planner + budget planner+ business finances planner), my household planner, my business planner, my daily scheduling/appointment book, my Agendas planner, Meetings planner, project planner, beauty & fashion planner, personal development workbook + planner, a Research & Development notebook, social planner, extra curricular planner, school agenda/planner + assignment planner notebook, my Recovery planner, habit tracker notebook, routines tracker notebook, checklists notebook, travel planner,& spiritual planner + prayer notebook.
I am involved in a million clubs, classes, sports,+ activities; run a business, & have school, church, and so on, so having a separate planner for each aspect of life (or more than one, oftentimes) helps keep all the elements separate and accounted for, while the master planner ties everything in together so nothing is forgotten (for ex, daily schedule with tasks from every aspect of life & so on).
I will have 1 and if I can get through 1 whole month entirely without accidentally skipping a single day I will be very happy
Heck yeah 💪 remember that it’s okay to skip a day if need be 😊 I have days where my “everyday” journal doesn’t get used for one reason for another (sickness, busyness, etc.) 💜
Same 😂
I tried having three notebooks last year: gardening/chickens, homeschool planning, and every day (monthly, daily, goal/habit, reading, event planning). I just can't seem to keep up with the multiple books! This year, I have moved most of my homeschool planning to an online planning tool and am considering seriously pruning what's in my gardening journal or maybe ditching it. Almost everything else is in my everyday journal. One stop recording seems to work best for me.
Reading Journal, Cyclic “Everyday” Planner, Long Term Collections, Knitting Journal, Knitting R&D Journal, Project Tracker, & Swatchbook… ideally. I also have Mini Travelers that my husband is supposed to make me a little folio for. One for quotes, one for random ideas of things I’d like to make/skills to learn/new hobbies to try and a third that’s things I want to do/places I want to go/restaurants to try… etc. I like them as little notebooks because they’re portable and when full, you just take it out & replace it and catalogue it. With the quotes one, I then go back and see what still resonates with me and maybe add them to art projects or whatnot.
You’re my inspiration. I think Cyclic planning will make it far more functional for me. I’ll do a quarterly layout with each week for things like meals & appointments & a weekly “would be nice if” list of things to get done. I just don’t think daily is something I can keep up with in terms of writing everything out but having the week at a glance & planning meals in advance somewhat should help a LOT with budgeting and the goal of losing weight.
My Knitting R&D journal is pretty cool. When opened to a spread, it’s lined on the right side and grid on the left side. It works nicely that I have a space to draw designs and mark out stitch counts or pattern repeats for new design possibilities and lined paper for doing grading math or just making notes.
I’m contemplating a daily journal that’s separate and all it does is track health symptoms and mental health stuff. I don’t want daily reminders of how crappy my body is in a regular planner, ya know? But that can just be a simple notebook.
Oh man. I’m impressed with all the multi use journal users. I struggle with more than one. In saying that, I’ve used a couple this year. Generally, though, I’m an everything just goes in one place kinda gal.
In 2024, I’ve had 3 types of journals:
1. My everyday journal (1-3 annually depending how much I’m writing).
2. Annual collections (I keep this info in my phone notes all year and transfer it at year end.
3. I’m expecting next year so have done a pregnancy/baby journal to track how I’m feeling.
What I’ve learned is 3 is too many and I’m excited to return to 1 when I’m able lol.
I use one every day journal (160 pages) for the entire year, and this year I'm also adding a travel journal. I do also have a small notebook for any lists or brain-storming, that I've started using this year!
6 I think - Everyday, annual, long term, reading, goals and commonplace. I notice you don't have a commonplace journal - it's where I store not only info on topics of interest (like ADHD) but also poems, quotes, etc that really appeal to me. I love it and need to add to it more often.
I have 7 notebooks for 2025
-Everyday Bujo
- reading journal (pre printed)
- Tarot reading/ “grimoire”
-monthly reflection long form journaling.
New to line up:
-Commonplace
-Nutrition/health
-goal setting
I have 7 in play, 3 scribbles, 1 bujo, 1 Bible reading, 1 R&D, and 1 home management notebook.
1. Bullet Journal 2. Wellness Journal 3. Art Journal 4. Self growth Journal 5. Swatches/ideas journal 6. Idle journal (substitutes scrolling) 7. Personal journal… didn’t realize I had so many! 😂
@@NalaShore Tell me about this.. idle journal? Please and thank you.
@ I saw the idea on UA-cam, sometimes when we’re commuting, waiting or just feeling bored we grab our cellphone and scroll. An idle journal prevents that, the idea is to grab it and write or draw whatever comes into your mind. I enjoy art myself so I always have it with me to put it to use instead of scrolling.
Fantastic recap! Really helping energize me for my 2025 journal plans.
I have my main journal, my notes/brainstorming/business goals journal, and a couple long term ones: one for tarot spreads that I like, my crafting journal, and my writing journal.
I’m going to try 3 this year: 1. A general notebook for seeing a full week at a glance (daily planning by week, I guess?) and lists, meeting notes, project info, etc., I reference all the time; 2. a health journal I can take with me to the doctor’s office (tracked by week, with space for notes from doctor’s appointments, tests, etc. 3. A goal “Amy improvement plan journal,” all about goal setting, habits, self reflection, etc. it’s a Passion Planner, but I’m only using it for that, not for daily plans. Fingers crossed!
Edit: Whoops! I have a field notes-size commonplace book too, but that doesn’t change yearly-just when I fill it up.
I'm just getting back into "notebooking" after a hiatus due to illness, and this video made me feel a LOT better about my ambitious desire to have 5-6 different collections going! It seems like a lot of notebooks to start all at once, but I know that I work better when things don't get interrupted in the middle in my everyday notebook. I get stuck starting something new if I have a page where something is "hanging" (like thoughts from a book I'm still in the middle of reading or questions I need to ask that haven't been answered yet) and I like the idea of organizing them all out. It's nice to know I'm not alone!
Looking forward to gamification updates! I thought I could use this method for language learning but a bit stumped with spreads, we’ll see 😅 tysm for amazing ideas🥰
1, that's my reading journal with monthly calendars to keep me organised. I'm considering a swatch, memory book using one of the little ones from the A&O library sub box
This is fascinating to me! I have 1 planned and am going to start a reading journal in 2025 & that's it. I didn't know where you find the time to maintain several journals! But I'm glad you do, cause I love your content!
i will be doing a new everyday journal, a revamped collections journal, a new intentions journal, a new reading journal, carrying over my swatch book, carrying over my art journal, carrying over my wedding journal, carrying over my travel journal. i will also be adding an r&d journal to my line up as well!
What a fascinating insight into your collection, thanks for sharing! 📚 How many notebooks and planners will I use next year?! I'd estimate 12-15, but I'm still figuring it out, trying to simplify my systems, but videos like this make me want to ADD more journals. At a glance, here's my disorganised list of what I have so far:
1. Morning pages/ everything journal - a few per year, various brands, usually pale pink, usually with elastic closure
2. Commonplace notebook - Paperblanks Flexi Sun & Moonlight
3. LH Agenda planner for my creative endeavours (writing and art)
4. Otto Goals Planner for other parts of life (home, social, leisure and TAFE study)
5. The Rich in Life Planner and Diary (health) - this one's a maybe
6. Otto Personalised Planner (dotted) Habit Tracker and Checklists
7. Learning Log (art) - Otto green linen with buckle
8. Learning Log (anything) - thick Kaiser style with constellation cover
9. Learning Log (writing) - pink A5 notebook with elastic closure
10. Big Questions journal - Paper Crane ballet pink folio
11. Writing Process Diary - Otto spiral-bound The Dot Journal
12. Art Process Diary - A5 visual arts diary
13. Podcast notes - thin Otto 'you are one of a kind' notebook
14. Art aesthetic and experiments journals - 5-7 visual arts journals of various kinds and sizes
15. Vision Journal (values, word of the year, reflections & intentions, character etc) - Paperblanks magnetic closure flap
16. Miracles, memories and moments collection - small Paperblanks magnetic closure flap
17. Pocket notebook - small Paperblanks soft cover
18 . LH Agenda 'Write your Own Story' journal for mini-memoirs
19. Half a dozen 'Continue' composition books from Daiso - one per teacher for particular writing and art mentors
20. Devotions journals & sermon notes - various soft cover notebooks
21. A4 spiral bound scribble books for brainstorming goals, affirmations, IG content, anything
22. Therapy notes - 'Continue' Daiso composition book
23. TAFE notes - cute grey & white bird patterned Otto notebook
24. Masterclass notes - A5 Daiso dot grid notebook
... and onwards, I'm embarrassed to continue!
... more notebooks and journals contain handwritten drafts of some books
... UA-cam ideas notebook, in case I'm ever cloned and have time and courage to start
Yes, my notebook game is out of control, but it serves as a second brain, and is about as chaotic and multi-passionate as my actual brain. When I travel I am very conflicted about which journals to take, and I worry about losing them if there's ever a disaster. Help!!!
Ok, bye!
I also have several journals: two planners from Sterling Ink (one private, one for work), a reading journal, a finance journal, a journal for work-related stuff, a journal for studying and a journal for content creation ideas.... 🤗 Your journals are gorgeous, hope you'll enjoy them in the new year!
Im so glad I am not the only person with LOTS of books on the go at one time. And I have only just started BuJos.
I have three. For the first time I am trying a Clever Fox Planner. It isn’t exactly what I wanted especially when it comes to layout but I just found myself struggling towards the end of this year to set up the already basic layout that I use. I am hoping that the combination printed layouts that I fill in along with the empty dot grid pages in the back will help me to keep consistent. My second journal is my medical journal which I think I started in 2023 but back dated to 2020. In my medical journal I keep track of visits to the doctor, dentist, chiropractor, etc. who I saw, what was discussed/done and any additional actions/medication prescribed. My third journal, new for 2025, is a long term collections journal. In the past I have put some spreads/collections in my everyday journal that I don’t really end up using and are often incomplete making me feel like I have wasted pages. So now if the collection isn’t specific for 2025 it can go in my long term collection instead.
Edit because I realized that I have a two additional journals that I forgot about. One because I didn’t use it much last year but is involved in one of my goals for 2025: a Bible study/notes/prayer journal. The second one is a Clever Fox Budget Planner which is new to me and brings my total number of journals to five.
i usually start with a daily list/to do, language, drawing and misc journal. but frankly, no matter how few or how many notebooks i have, they all end up being “everything” notebooks lol. it’s impressive that you are able to keep yours all so specific and organised!
I have 5!
1) I have a Happy Planner for my primary every day. I find it saves me a TON of time, and I can create simple custom trackers once a week/month for the things I update daily.
2) Then I have a separate Work Journal where I track all aspects of my "professional" life, such as anything interesting that happened at work, or if I learned anything new, stuff like that. I update that roughly every other day, and it has a much more journal-like style to it.
3) I also have a Midori 1 year diary where I've been writing a quick mini-paragraph of how each day goes, and I've been enjoying it a lot, but I do have trouble remembering to write in it every day because I need to re-arrange my desk space better. It's a goal for 2025!
4) My "Stadge" book is basically just a cheap ring notebook that I use for all of my "sloppy" writing. This is my oldest designated notebook, as I started it way back in middle school! The name "Stadge" is a mis-spelling of "Stage" that I kept over the years as a reminder that perfect is the enemy of done. Each book gets a new number. I'm on Stadge 8 now! It's where I go to get an idea started without worrying about "ruining" my nicer books, and it's also just a good spot to write down random stuff that doesn't belong anywhere else, but I might still want to reference back to it one day.
5) And last but not least, I have a notebook for testing out new pens, markers, and highlighters when I get them. It gives me a space to uniformly test them for things like smudging and what-not, as well as how much I spent on them and if I'd consider buying them again.
This video was so fun! 2025 will be the first year I try having multiple notebooks at the same time, so it was very cool to see how you approach that. The ones in my line-up will be:
- Everyday journal (mostly a reading journal and habit tracker journal)
- One line a day journal
- Gratitude journal (I found a printed one that is a colouring calendar, and I'm really looking forward to creating a zen moment for myself each week as I colour in that weekly)
- Junk journal/creative journal for a creative way of memory keeping
- Commonplace book
Can't wait for the new year!
six journals, 5 of them being dotgrid a5 and one is a 5 year journal with prompts. And one memory keeping album.
I've always gone for just one plus the 5year, but this year I want to try this out. Most excited for the rpg journal and the art journal!
Ooo exciting! Hope they go well for you 😄💜
Love your collection!
I always though one bullet journal would be enough. Little did I know I'd introduce few more into my line-up during the last year and I plan on adding one more in 2025 😅
I have bullet journal, reading journal, 'when inspiration hits' (working title) journal, scribble journal, and I hope to setup fitness/health/meal journal at the start of 2025 :D All dots, all A5s except reading journal, trying a square for the first time next year :D
Using that one for my reading this year.
Nice! 💜
2. 1 TN for Personal use: 1 dot grid insert for traditional bujo logging, 1 insert for annual collections, and 1 larger insert for long term collections. The 1st insert covers about half a year. It is replaced when it’s full. The annual insert is replaced with the new year. The long term insert stays in.
The second journal is also a TN for work. 1 dot grid insert for work bujo logging, and an insert for each long term project I’m working on.
I find TN to be the perfect solution for having “multiple” journals with as few books as possible
Thank you so much for the Christmas card! It showed up in the mail yesterday. I’ve got one coming your way! 👍😁👍
I have a printed planner for my everyday, a "yearly collections" book journal where I can keep my yearly info, and that has room for multiple years in it. I also have my book review journal (I split them for this year, because I tend to fill up 2 review journals, and found I don’t keep up with the big trackers if they are in the first one once I’m in my second journal of the year.). Yes, I read a lot... I also am trying the 5 year journal this year.
I have 5 I think!
1. Hobonichi Cousin for everyday planning and memory keeping, 2. Reading Journal, 3. Longer term collections journal, 4. Scribble book/rough notes journal, 5. University planner
I do have several idle journals for other things like tarot or gratitude that I am hoping to pick up at certain points of the year too!
Me: Look away, you will just want another journal.
Also, Me: click!
I had been doing yearly bullet journals since 2018, and they functioned as an "everything journal". I kept work stuff, personal stuff, media trackers, swatches, memory keeping and scrapbook dumping all in one book. In the last couple of years, I eventually migrated my work planning into the hobonichi weeks to save time and keep things clear and organized. For 2024 i felt like i didnt want to do my traditional "everything journal" and instead made a media tracker journal (games, tv, books) with the ocassional "special event" scrapbook spreads for special events that popped up throughout the year. It's a chaotic mess, but it was meant to be a low-stakes creative outlet. For 2025, I'd like to start a new media journal that's more organized and with more space to write my thoughts and opinions. Im not sure if i will make a separate journal for memory keeping yet.
I absolutely love the Life Admin Gamification method you have started. I hope to try it out for myself once i see more of it in action!
Thank you for your inspiring content, helpful workshops, and for doing vlogmas even though you were sick! Take care!
Everyday journal, yearly collections journal, long term collections journal, 5 year journal, mental health journal, a grief journal, dates with my husband journal, and possibly starting a crochet journal.
I have 4 journals moving into the new year. First is my every day bujo. Second is my new long-term journal. Third is a daily health check in journal. This is a lined notebook where I quickly write what I plan to do for my health that day (what type of exercise, how I'm feeling if I'm taking a day off). My last notebook is a wellness journal based off of a book called "The Kindness Method" and therapy. I try to check in with my mental and physical health once a month or so and write out what is working and what isn't. I started that notebook with the "assignments" from "The Kindness Method" so I have that reference material in there, too.
I'm set to have two journals-- super excited to start a reading journal and then a personal journal-- and a work planner. PBB's rolling weekly layout works perfectly for me as a workweek planning tool, and the Hobonichi Techo Weeks is perfect for it.
Everyday journal, junk journal, content planner, reading journal, yearly collections and on top of them knitting and crochet logs (printed) 🍒
Love Blujos and Greenjos
I'm not switching much out this year. I'm torn between the white variant floral Tiefossi and trying out a B6 160GSM I found for my main journal, though it isn't a brand I'm familiar with, so a little apprehension there. Saying that, I don't use wet/dark pens, particularly. I struggle to keep up with weekly and daily spreads, so I keep yearly collections, plus trackers in there, and I'm thinking I might add just a to do list spread to the main tracker to make a kind of monthly-lite section. I generally just keep a small, pre-made diary for appointments etc. (Edit: Went with the Tiefossi and wow, it's so much thicker than I expected!)
I also have a usually-A5 scribble journal I still need to select for next year, and an ongoing lined A6 quick notes book for when ideas strike. Less often updated and also being carried forward are my project books - one for events, one for writing and one for filmmaking. All of these are thick, lined not-quite-B5s so will last a while each.
I have my everyday bujo, my reading journal, a pre-printed tea journal that still has some space in it, and I'm going to attempt a cooking journal this year.
I'm going to split my bujo into two for next year: one for yearly and long-term collections, that I plan on using for several years, and an everyday journal, which will probably be enough for the whole year. (I almost had enough place in this year's bujo for the whole 2024. I realized that if I just pull out the yearly collections to a separate one, then I will be able to fit into one notebook for a year 😁). Other than that, I have a one line a day journal (same as what you call 5 year journal), a diary for long form journaling and a work bujo. So that adds up to 5. 💞
For 2025 I'll have:
-A5 everyday to finish (will likely be full at end of January) -might use a square one after that
-Reading journal
-starting a yearly collections journal and a long term collections journal
-using an a6 as an art/memory keeper (things like old projects from when I was a kid - I'll take a picture and put them in there and then the actual ones can go byebye....pictures of the Christmas cards I've been making the past few years...etc)
And im debating between putting my favorite recipes on index cards or in an a5 in attempt to have it all in one spot and taking up way less room than it currently does 😂
So at least 5...maybe 6. And I expect to go through 3-4 everyday journals next year 😊
Oooo love the idea of the art reference book! 👀
Assuming I follow through with my plan, I'm looking into 4 notebooks next year. The first time I'm attempting any expansive journaling beyond just filling out of pages with diarist posts.
I want to try doing a 5 yr and I found a pre-printed one. Then one I'd been using for daily highlights since I got it, it might turn into something for brain downloads next year. One I'd had for 5 years and never used, maybe to try some layouts to keep track of my interests. And a spiral for commonplace stuff like interesting facts about people I'd heard of but admittedly know very little about.
I'm pretty new to BuJo still (I restarted back in May after a 2-3 month experiment the year before that then went into hibernation), but I only use 2: my every day journal and my testing/R&D notebook which mostly has plans for the next month's spreads (e.g. marker colors, spread ideas) and material examples (e.g. examples of the stencils I got to speed up some of my setup). Everything else I track (mostly knit/crochet/yarn projects, books read) have digital spaces (I've read 150+ books so far this year - even writing down all of those titles in a notebook would annoy me, haha).
Wonderful video! I’ve actually wondered how many journals you do every year, so thanks for sharing! I have 2 I’ll be using for sure: Home Planner by the Passionate Penny Pincher (to keep track of all life stuff: appointments, vacations, etc.). I also got a ‘purse-size’ planner that goes with it, so while I’m out & about I can be mindful of scheduled plans, without carrying the huge planner. The 2nd is a ‘doodle’ journal by AmandaRachLee, which has lots of pics you can color along the way. That’s got mood and other trackers in it. I’m excited to try it, because it’s going to be fun and creative. After watching your video here, I’ve decided to add 3 more: Reading journal (I’m going to try the 52 week reading challenge), the Long-term Collections journal, and a Health Journal. For me, anything more than that and it will be too much. Thanks for the inspo! ❤️🌹🎄
Okay, I'm glad it's not just me in the comments wondering how the heck people can run so many journals at once - I've struggled with keeping up with 2-3 this year xD
Great video. Hoping to get my 2025 plans figured out soon!
You got this 💪💜
I’m still just getting back into this kind of journaling and only have 2 notebooks going into the new year with me. A reading journal and your typical monthly one.
I’m starting 2025 with an insane number of notebooks considering I only got back into planning and journalling last year! I’ve got my Saint Belford Curation 2025 planner, which has everything I need to set goals, habit track, plan etc. I used one for 2024 and it’s the first time I’ve consistently used a planner since uni; I really enjoyed its layered approach to goals, habits and tasks! I can move stuff that was in my bujo this year in there too since they added some dot grid pages at the back this year. Then I have a Hobonichi Hon Techo for daily journalling, and an A&O for creative memory keeping, for those things I want to celebrate. My LT1917 reading journal is continuing into 2025, and then I have a Hobonichi weeks for a writing journal that I can use to scribble down story ideas and observations. There’s also a small commonplace that will continue on till it’s full, and then my dedicated novel planning notebooks. And finally, my work bujo, since I keep work separate from personal.
My sister, a veteran bujo-er, said she doesn’t want to think about what my evening routine will be like! 😂
Still have to finish my everyday journal as I started with the academic year. But I might add a reading journal and like a habit journal/self care journal. But maybe I will add that in with the reading journal but not sure 😅
For me this year it's going to be the Artist of Life workbook that I bought and print in 2020 🙈 that cover pretty much everything from goal setup to monthly and quarterly set up and review and an undated planner to carry on daily tasks to achieve said goals. I'm slowly working through the stuff I want, once I get rid of all of my undated planners then I'll try to set a bullet journal. In the meantime I'll be enjoying your content.
I have my daily A5 (2 per year), a collections B5 that I use across several years, combining yearly and long-term collections, and a pocket-size media journal that I started using mid year.
I’d tried reading/kpop journals in the past but couldn’t keep up with them bc of the time and effort to make spreads look as nice as I wanted them. This pocket journal is working really well for me bc it’s not decorative at all- each page is just a brief mini review of a book, show, game, album, etc.
I also like having quite a lot of notebooks haha: a bullet journal, long term collections journal, dream journal, therapy notebook, music albums journal (which I'm thinking about retiring and having a media journal instead), travel journal, roller coasters notebook which I use to write down the rollers coasters I've ridden, 5 year journal, daily diary, concerts memories journal, an "on this day in" journal, several scribbles notebooks, music learning notebook and dutch learning notebook 😂 I've also been thinking about adding a memories journal in which to add pictures of big highlights of my life, but I'm waiting to see how I want to organize that one haha
I have 2 notebooks (maybe 3) for 2025. I have been using the Emma Kate co Vertical diary for a few years now and the set up really works for me. There are enough dot grid pages at the back for what I need so I have got that one for my everyday journal. I am also starting a Commonplace book for things which interest me (with particular focus on self-reflection). The third notebook I'm considering is a reading journal.
i have still maintained keeping all my planning in 1 journal. I do use a B5 so more space but yeah. i take that thing everywhere. looking forward to moving into a B5 archer and olive for 2025
I'm an everything journal kind of person, so I have my main one with yearly/quarterly/monthly/daily and collections in a 400 pages Moleskine, plus a diary, plus a 7-years-cycle goals one. I only use spare notebooks (from high school and university years) from time to time to jot down messy brainstorms or lists, stuff that needs to be refined before making any sense.
I'm going to use two notebooks for Bullet Journal and one for reading journal. And I'm thinking about setting aside one notebook to organize my study sections better.
Looking in 25 to have 1 everyday journal, and then I have a separate journal for each novel I write. I also want to get into having a reading journal, which didn't go great in 24, but the Goober reading prompts looked like fun, so I wanna try seeing up some space for that :)
Im going to try to put my whole life in a b6 sterling ink ...although these Archer and olive notebooks are looking nice!!
1-songwriting journal, 2-gaming journal, 3-journalling journal - all 3 of these are being continued with a 2025 refresh. I do have a new 4th journal which I intend to be an everyday Bullet journal, goal planning and collections.
Your hair looks lovely in this video
Thanks! 😄💜
I had a monthly calendar + notes pages for this but it could NOT handle my life with my new job.
I converted to a hobonichi and quickly sized up to a standard TN size of (pretty much) same layouts...
In the last month or so has been added a daily journal (A7 daily), and a scrapbook memory keeping type thing.
2025 is gonna be an A6 (daily journal), A health and wellness Kinbor weeks (habit tracking for domestic cleaning, monthly pages to track my garden notes -planting, harvest, growth, pruning, blah, blah-, weekly pages for what I'm eating daily and the weekly memo page for dinner meal plans, and notes pages are goals and my gym sessions), and a more traditional bujo (future log, goals, month + weekly planning done in real time. Using Dutch doors + notes for scribble plans), tn insert (a momento/ephemera memory keeping), and one last TN insert (professional development notes for work). I'm stoked to get started!!! Already some of it is working... Loving it!!!
My two regular notebooks are a Hobonichi Weeks Mega - I bullet journal in the notes pages - and an A5 Dot Grid notebook that's my writing/creativity notebook. Not really a notebook, I have the HB90 planner loaded onto my ReMarkable tablet.
I also have a steno notebook for my paycheck job, and one that's specific to my plans to buy my own place, one that's in my car's glove compartment where I record gas and maintenance, a quotes book, and I've made some attempts at setting up a long-term projects bujo but never got that off the ground.
I am using 8 books this year. Yikes lol
1.I am using a Christian planner for any Bible reading, prayer request that sort of thing. (B5)
2. Everyday journal which is a Buke.(A5)
3. I am using another Buke for my Long term collections (A5)
4&5. Are spiral notebooks for my yearly collections and for my craft and UA-cam notes on stuff like your channel or craft things I want to try. kind of like your R&D books.(A5)
6. Is a weekly planner that I use for my future log stuff. I just put it in the date on the calendar, any appointments, birthdays, weekly pages I use for my rough idea to do list, brainstorming and weather tracking. Dates I am watching my grandson.. stuff that has a future date.(B5)
7. Is an art junk journal. Use it whenever the mood strikes me (Composition)
8. I use a 3 ring binder for my reading journal because I track the books by author and anytime I read or wish to read something I can add pages or write more in that series
I have an everyday planner/journal that changes each year, and then my year-over-year journals are:
- 10-years goals journal
- crafting/learning journal
- Shakespeare / scholarship journal
- board and video game journal
- reading journal
- writing journal for a novel I'm working on
- swatch/supplies journal
amazing how they just seem to multiply...
1. Work bujo 2. Work notebook 3. Personal bujo 4. Memories journal 5. Learning notebook 6. Small daily notebook for notes 7. Long term collections journal
I'm using 6 planners/journals next year. I have a travel journal (from Papershire), a reading journal and a daily journal (both from A&O) and then I have 2 7x9 coiled plannera for my memory planner and my 3 year journal (doing 3 years instead of 5 to take me to my 30th birthday!)
This is the most I've ever had, but I am very excited! 🎉
I am obsessed with your videos and I love your videos 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thanks! 😄💜 Glad you like them!
love the covers
I clicked on this video because I saw books. I love books and I love reading. As for journaling, I've tried it but, I've gone years without an entry. I have no idea how you manage to write in so many journals. The covers of the books are pretty, I especially like the square one
Not all of them get things written in them everyday which certainly helps with keeping up with them 😊💜
I have an A5 Hobonichi Cousin for everyday stuff. I am going to try tracking my reading in the weekly section of the cousin, since I can't find a pre-made reading journal I like but don't want to fully make my own reading journal yet.
I also have my knitting project/Fair book, which is just an old composition book, to keep track of knitting projects and what I enter into the county fair each year and how each entry does.
3 for me. Always a scribble book. A new a5 daily bujo. And a b5 that I'm calling my character journal where I'm expanding on jess' gamification system by adding more elements of dungeons and dragons as well as some from stardew valley
I have a preprinted teaching planner I use everyday, an A5 dot grid creative journal, an A5 dot grid art journal, and a B5 blank paper grief journal. I love to read, but I haven’t created a reading journal yet 😅
I've got two at the moment, though I want to add some more! I've got one for my thesis research and writing, another for work/life that I'm probably going to split into two, and I want to add a reading journal! I'm also interested in possibly doing one for cooking and baking, just to keep all the recipes I like/make in one place. So at the moment 2, most likely I'll end up with 5!
Very neat layouts
Thanks! 😄💜
1. Reading bullet journal 2. Day designer daily planner 3. Daily grind planner 3. Happy planner weekly and daily planner
Yes I’m aware it’s a lot but also still deciding
I have six journals. 1 yearly Bullet Journal (A&O A6). 2 Do Something New (Reading/Cooking/Hiking/Day Trips/State Parks) Journal (A&O 8x8). 3 Professional Growth/Work Project Journal (A&O Mark Your Pages 8x8). 4 Mentoring PDP with my boss journal (A&O A7). 5 Multiyear smash journal for brain dumps, idea lists, wish lists, memory keeping, tickets stubs, Polaroids, etc.(dot matrix A6). 6 multiyear garden set up journal (lined A6).
In 2025:
1. Everyday journal - experiences everyday (more likely eventful days like 2-3 days in a wk)
2. Work journal - projects & references
3. Dream journal - rarely used
4. Collections journal - references
5. Monthly planner - events, monthly faves, socmed tracker
These are my main trackers but I almost always use the monthly and daily planner! ✨
It’s been trial and error for me through it the years. I have tried everything in one book. I have tried lots of planners and journals. I think 2025 is the year I have figured it out.
My Hobonichi weeks is basically the heartbeat. The center of all my planners and journals and from there it expands out to the other journals. So my Hobonichi weeks will capture pretty much what I do in a day. What happened. What I ate. Did I work out What books I read. What movies and tv shows I read. And also a journaling section where I can expand on my thoughts if needed but I’m not pressured to journal every day.
Basically my life in a year collection.
Then those topics in my Hobonichi weeks gets expanded and in more detail. Such as a reading journal, a fitness journal, a health and wellness journal, a finance planner. And all these journals/planners are not yearly. I will use another notebook once it’s complete which can take years. So I’m actually only buying the Hobonichi weeks every year.
So my lineup so far:
Life in a year: Hobonichi weeks
Health and Wellness: a5 Magic and I planner
Fitness journal: A&O XL pocket journal
Finance Planner: a repurposed and redesigned older Hobonichi weeks that can be used for several years.
Reading journal: A reading journal specifically for books. Cant remember the brand.
Recipe and food journal: B6 slim MD notebook
Big Emotions dairy: Midori 1day1page notebook (undated portion)
Gratitude journal: Midori Mini 5 year Diary
Stationery collections and swatches: MD a6 notebook
I think that’s all. Maybe. lol
Oh. I also have a few sketching and watercolor notebooks.
A Travelers company Traveler notebook for junk journaling or event/happenins journaling.
And in my purse as an everyday carry that stays in my bag:
A passport Travelers notebook that houses my monthly calendar for on the go apt scheduling when I’m out and about.
Grocery list: a7 md notebook.
Catch all notes (scribble scrabble): a6 slim MD ring notebook
Beauty/Nail polish swatch collection : Passport Travelers Notebook.
Ok. I that’s it. lol
Awww… Jess EMBRACE an all blue-jo lineup!!
My lineup for 2025 will include my ‘standard’ bujo (they tend to last roughly six months, so I have two), my new reading journal (2024 one was a Notebook Therapy standard size, which is a little smaller, my 2025 one will be the Archer and Olive one that came in a sub box with blue pages). 2024 I got a Hobinchi for gratitude journaling, but haven’t been consistent so I won’t get another. I also have a Travelers Notebook with inserts for travel journaling, tea journaling, ink swatching but I don’t reach for that one on a daily basis.
Haha 😂 neverrrrr! Instead it seems I’m going black for the 2025 lineup 😝 sounds like you have a great set for next year 👏
woah 2 minites ago lets gooo!!!
oh and for 2025 i have a b5 grid notebook that i got on amazon its my very first bullet journal. its my everyday but for anything longer than that like goal setting and stuff im putting it on my 2025 notion. creating a reading journal and 5 year journal on notion too. im also gonna try cyclic planning and a version on the gamification(thank you so much for the inspo its getting me excited for the new year)
1 Bullet Journal that I started in July. It has space for at least two months and I don't like wasting paper 🤣
The "punch you in the throat red" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 something i would call a bright bright bright pink and red😂😂😂
I am excited to go into 2025 with my bujos😊 I have 8!
My daily organizer, my book book, my deer diary, my Jesus journal, my receipe book, my language journal, my art journal, and my yearly collections journal!
That sounds like a great lineup! 😄💜
When I 1st saw the thumbnail I thought "Did she see Sarra C's lineup and toss in an 11th to match?" 😆 I know, I know, you filmed this before she uploaded her lineup video. 😝
Right now I have; main planner (both work and personal in one horizontal weekly planner), main planner 2 (work and personal in vertical weekly planner), everyday journal, reading journal.
I have what I call practice books as well, but I don’t really class those as journals, I don’t really journal in them, I just test out stencils, washi tapes, new pens, etc.
2025 will be year one for me. Until I can find my groove, I won't be investing in the nicer products, such as Archer & Olive. I love the square design of a journal, but I don't yet know if their formatting will work for me. I am starting out with the Happy Planner line because I think they are cute, and I can easily move things around in them. One is an actual journal, and the other is a Black Friday notebook, both in the Classic size. I'm also using two separate A5 notebooks I have had for more than a year now. I'm using washi tape to lay things out before I make things permanent, and I am going to commit to making one section in one of the A5s as a Reading Journal. I have purchased stickers that will grace the pages in that section to write down the names of each book of the Bible. I plan to color the books after I have finished reading them, and I am also going to have a notes section to jot down Scriptures from each book that stands out to me, as well as another section for character studies. So far, I think the structure for my reading journal is the only one I have well thought out! As for the rest, I will be flying by the seat of my pants.
I can’t even keep up with one journal 😄
I have one. Just the one.😂
How many do I want…a billion gazillion every time I see an awesome cover.
I tend to go through 2 everyday journals for the year, and a multi-year reading journal. I started a little softcover pocket journal for health stuff, so I can track things/record questions etc and easily take it with me to the doc --> this will likely change as I figure out what are symptoms that I need to track vs not. (I also have several art focused journals, but I won't go into those).
Cool idea to have a journal specifically dedicated for doctors notes 👌
I’m moving into a sterling ink horizontal planner for next year and I haven’t decided if I’m continuing with my passion planner weekly planner or moving it into a sterling ink as well. Right now I have 2 bujo (one for daily planning and one for weekly) because it didn’t get set up effectively with enough room to do both in a single book, thus the sterling ink. I generally use A&O notebooks so this is going to be quite an experiment. If I hate the paper I have a couple blank notebooks I can move into.
I have an a5 for my main bujo, and then a pocket a6 for keeping on me when I want to get away from my phone/am at work. It’s also kind of a commonplace journal?? Sort of. Just whatever I need that typically gets jotted down in my phone.
Hi Jashii, I’ll be using 4 journals for 2025. 1. Bullet journal (weekly set-up) 2. Daily journal 3. A scribbler notebook 4. Another daily planner.
I really enjoy your ideas and videos!!!😊
Sounds like a great lineup! 😄💜
I have 1 work planner, 1 hobo cousin, 1 brain storming, 1 reading, 1 writing journal, 1 shadow journal, 1 sketch journal and 1 work notebook. Total of 8 😮.
Oh interesting - fortnightly planning didn't quite work for me either - but the general cyclic planning is defenitly a keeper! I haven't had luck with my reset weeks tho. Either I had planned so much ahead for that week that it didn't make sense to have it as a reset week, or I just actually didn't know what to do or at least how to start with it. I have been thinking of just seeng what weeks are more free and then make them resets, rather than it being neatly every 13th week. But maybe you in 2025 would like to make a video about the practicalities around a reset week, and not just the setup. Like you in other videos decribe how to use certain layout?
I'm not realy measuring my notebooks in years, but I am at the moment using a reguar dotgrid BuJo, a regular diary and two different types of preprinted journals/calenders trackers; one that is made by another creator, for spiritual connecting and reflecting and self development and one for tracking and learning about+from and refleting on my period. I'm not continueing that one whrn it endswith the year tho, but I learned from it and might take some inspiration to track and reflet in my BuJo. In stead I am going to by a calender/refelctions journal based off of 2025's astrology, also made by (Danish) creators 🥰🥰
Thanks so much as always for what you do here, it really helps, inspires and brings love!
Most welcome, and appreciate the idea about the reset week video! 💜
I'm currently using 20 notebooks, but I'm hoping to condense it to 12 by the end of the year. 🤞
Technically 3 notebooks. But I'll be using a traveler's style B6 cover that houses 2 of them. 1 for cycles & periods and 1 for daily journaling. And then my 4-year journal is getting carried forward to its 3rd year. Also I'm literally at the end of my journal that I started in 2022 😅 using the last pages for the cycles of this year. I'm actually currently using old notebooks to do my daily journaling in as the journal I was using is full 😂 (currently a Nightmare before Christmas lined ringed hard cover, it has a little Zero in the bottom of each page)
I have (1) true planner and a journal that I do anything fun in! the planner is a standard planner that i just use some bujo methods with and the other journal has anything from poetry, movie reviews, moodboards, to long-form journaling. I find that this is the max amount of things I can keep up with personally, but I do also have quite the extensive sketchbook collection so my vices may just be elsewhere (people with 4+ journals scare me LOL)
Haha 😂 no need to be scared of us! And heck yeah for knowing your personal journal limits 💪
