    Thank you for posting finally someone who doesn't just use tiny aesthetic writing! Someone who is brave enough to share writing that's not perfect. I suffer from bouts of perfectionism even though my journaling isn't anywhere near perfect.

    Thanks for sharing. I've just switched from A5 to A6 as an experiment in April and it's really a freeing exercise. I realized that I could write the same amount, but using no stickers, which usually filled up my A5. I also can keep the A6 right next to me and jot down things as they happen. The smaller size is definitely less daunting! 😁

    I am also experimenting with a smaller journal as in the passport for the last 2-3 months because I had gotten one in Japan and I have a few inserts just sitting in my drawer since last year! Best of luck for your continuous joy in passport TN. I am traveling in two weeks and I am excited to see how it goes (I am also an A5 fan) with this tiny passport for journaling! Cheers.

    I’ve had an artists block for years and I’m wanting to get back into journaling, creative journaling and collage as a way to re inspire and reignite my creativity. Your videos are so inspiring. They are engaging and informative, your narrating is relaxing and straightforward. I love your ideas and systems, it’s helping me get some good ideas. Thank you so much for your content.

    Your voice is so beautiful. Thoroughly enjoyed this lovely video! As for the transparent insert - you could reposition it in a way that it wraps around the second insert. This way you can use it and the first insert cover remains unobstructed. 🥰

    I'm in the mood for a little passport TN phase so found your video that way. I love your little washi tape bookmark!! I might have to make one! I often find normal bookmarks too bulky but a little one like that would be perfect for a passpprt tn setup! ❤

    How do you like the Leuchtterm pen? Do you have the ballpoint?

    • @notablyemily
      @notablyemily  16 днів тому +1

      I really like it! I take it with me everywhere as part of my TN setup. I find it's really smooth and inky, the black gel ink is very black and it dries fast. The pen also feels solid and has a nice weight to it and I love that I have a few that are personalised :) One of the downsides is that it doesn't have a clip; with the body being hexagonal it doesn't roll but you're not able to clip it to anything. The finish is pretty sturdy but if it gets scratched hard enough it can take a dent out of the paint/finish but I haven't had that happen more than twice. I definitely recommend it, it comes in lots of cute colours and the ink cartridges are replaceable too! You can get the ink in blue or black I believe. :) I have the Drehgriffel Nr 1 in the Gel Ink version , it is a ball point!

    I love this! I'm a small notebook girlie by nature. The biggest I go for journals is A6. Something about the smaller sizes pleases my neurospicy mind (it's cute!) and forces it to stop procrastinating and get to the point. It's a lifesaver. However, I plan in a standard midori.

    Congrats on your engagement aren't you have a passport Travelers notebook I use it for my planner and for my journaling it's awesome to go back and see how far I've come in the last few years. I even had my granddaughter who's about to turn five she drew some pictures of one of my inserts and I've got that for a lifetime as it keeps sake.

      @notablyemily  2 місяці тому +1

      It’s not bad for me! You can see the size of my writing, I find I can get a good amount of writing on each page. If your writing is a lot bigger than mine it might not work! I suggest cutting some paper or try drawing out on an existing notebook the size you want to try and see how it works 😊
