Your 'its' fine, it's not a big deal' after making a mistake and trying to cover it with a sticker was a mood. That's me all the time. I'm always afraid to use the sticker in the 'wrong' place, or make a mistake with a dark coloured ink. But 2022 is the year of No More Hesitation for me and your new channel is so inspiring! My birthday is Sunday and my wish list has gotten looooong thanks to you.
It’s weird how there can be so much pressure over something so small! Over time, I’ve figured out ways I like to fix mistakes and in general, just scribbling things out is fine with me (especially with fountain pen inks I love!).
Now that I am an "almost empty nester" with a career that is slowing down towards retirement, my planning needs are more personal than work-related, so I was drawn to bullet journaling because it allowed me to customize and focus on Lists, which I make daily! I make my own inserts (using scrapbooking papers/cardstock, better quality printer paper and my sewing machine) and mostly decorate my pages with rubber stamps, brush lettering, and some washi tape. I even created my own calendar template on Word, and I add dividers and pockets made from envelopes or cardstock to hold my Lists. I have an insert for my calendars, an insert for collections (Birthday/Christmas gift ideas, Movies to Watch, Books to Read) and an insert for Goals/Planning (trackers, budget & savings, RV/Camping/Vacation Checklists.) I even make my own planner covers out of faux leather upholstery remnants (otherwise I would spend way too much money on those gorgeous leather ones from Galen and Chic Sparrow!) I love being able to customize and size my pages how I want them, even if they're not "fancy." If I get tired of the cover, or it wears out, I just toss it and make a new one! Love your videos--you have great energy and ideas--I am learning so much from so many here on You Tube! Keep them going!
That sounds amazing and so creative! I’ve thought about creating the inserts I want for my journal since I wasn’t able to find exactly what I needed. Yours sound really lovely! I took more of a bullet journal approach back when I was a full time creator and things were less consistently planned as well.
The Hobonichi Planner looks adorable yet scary? (Not sure how to describe it) I tend to gravitate towards journals/notebooks that are A5 so maybe that's why lol c: Regardless, you made yours super functional and super cute! I love the chocolate pudding ink (I think that's the one you used), it just looks so good on that paper! That dot pen is so adorable! I also thought of a cute idea the moment you said you weren't sure what else to use it for. I think it would be adorable if you turned those dots into little suns! You could get a thin black pen and trace the circle and add some lines to give off a doodled ray of sunshine! It also works if you accidentally put it somewhere because you could just turn it into a sun to fix it!
I haven’t been able to keep up with the uploads here because I usually play UA-cam videos in the background while I work, but these require more attention. I am always happy to come back and catch up though! I love these types of planner set up videos. I always come out with more ideas for my own journal. And I just love your journaling style. 🧡
Hey there I just discovered your content on this channel and I’m loving it! Not that many journaling accounts post frequently and I’ve been watching your videos as they come out am excited to see them pop up!
I appreciate it when channels have a clear schedule and I try to watch your videos within the first 2 or 3days. Honestly I think once a week is a better rhythm because some creators tend to burn through great video ideas fast and over work themselves. I prefer less videos in a month but consistent releases. I am enjoying this channel and hope you are very successful with it.
Cool, thank you! I’ll try to keep up with it as much as I can - will definitely take breaks here and there, but it’s been fun getting to chat with you folks in the comments twice a week so far!
First, I love that you post regularly! I love your content. :) I've been using the Hobonichi weeks for about 5 years. It's mostly a functional planner for me, I don't use tons of stickers. And I don't have a ton to plan - I only use it for my personal life, for work everything is in Outlook - so I find it's just the right amount of space. And I love all the places for notes and lists.
I am starting to understand why Hobonichi are so popular, but at least for the rest of the year I think I'll stick to my own bujo set-up. I enjoy set uploading days, but I always turn on notifications so it doesn't really matter to me whether or not someone has a set upload scheduele :). I do feel like I have a mighty need for some of the cute stamps like the ones you use! :)
Omg keeping a list of fanfics is such a good idea! I may or may not have read waaaay more fics than physical books last year...and this year so far. Haha
I bought my first Hobonichi Weeks this year to use as a Gratitude Journal. I write one thing I’m grateful for in the ‘weeks’ section and collage on the opposite page when I get around to it. I use the pages in the back for recording additional things I’m grateful for if it’s been a really good day. :) The Weeks is small enough that I can carry it around with me if I’m feeling particularly anxious that day and need some comforting reminders.
Hi, your video came up in my feed, and saw that it was about the hobonichi weeks! I had to check it out, since I use this planner too. I just started my 2nd spring start weeks, and I can't imagine using anything else. I like the size, the paper, layout, and it suits my style of planning well. Last year i used the right side of the weeks as an art journalling spread, and it got very bulky. I decided to buy an a6 to add collage and sticker elements to and stick to a very minimal design for my weeks planner. So far I like that better.
I just recently discovered your channel and am so enjoying it. Still have more to watch but am also looking forward to upcoming videos. This is my first year using a Hobonichi Weeks and it's perfect for me at this stage of life as my EDC. I ended up purchasing the Mega with extra note pages so that I could contain everything I need but still be lightweight. Too often I've been somewhere and couldn't recall what colors of Tombow markers, TH Distress Inks, Stains, etc. I already had - sometimes resulting in purchasing duplicates. I use Sterling Ink, Paper Minty, and MU Lifestyle rub-on stickers to decorate along with washi. After watching your videos, I'm going to have to try Versa Magic ink pads to use with my stamps. Thank you for another wonderful video!
Ahh yes! It’s been a really good planner fit for me so far. So happy I finally got one! Also, thank you for watching regularly! I appreciate it a whole lot. P.S. I LOVE your videos! Would love to collaborate on a video together someday if you’d be up for that!
Hi! I wake up every morning, hoping you have a video and if yes, it's a very good day. Thanks Lauren! btw, I'm transitioning into my Hobonichi Weeks as my purse/EDC/planner and mini sketchbook. I've become slightly obsessed haha.
Nice!! Aw, thank you! I’m enjoying the weeks a lot so far - it’s working out great for keeping my appointments and meetings on the left and an ongoing to do list of tasks for the week on the right!
As far as watching goes, I usually watch the day of, and I almost always speed the vids up. Limited free time, doncha know. As far as planners go, I custom design and print my own pages, then put them in an Arc leather cover I bought at Staples. Right now, a week covers 2 two-page spreads, because I wanted to leave space for a daily recap after each day. I've used it for a couple months now and found out that having a week on one spread is more important to me than having daily journal space, so I'll be redesigning the pages when I print out May's sheets. I've used custom pages for 15? years and love how they work for me, but this is the first year I've tried to combine my weekly appointment book with my habit trackers and other stuff, so it's taking me some time to get things dialed in. The Hobonichi Weeks planner looks super cute! Depending on how the daily pages look, I might want to try one next year.
I love this Liberty Fabrics Hobonichi Wweks! I purchased it and a Mega Sneaker Weeks for 2022 and gifted my mother the floral one. New sub to your channel. I do post PWM in my Weeks on my channel.
I've been watching your videos within a few days of you posting them. I tend to be chronically behind on my watch later list lol. This year is my third year using the Weeks (this year I got a Mega!) and I just love it.
Really enjoying the channel and all the videos - it's definitely inspired me to get back into journaling! Been watching as they are released and sometimes going back to watch again. Big fan of the regular uploading schedule :) Quick question - where are the clips (to hold open the planner) from?
They’re the C. Ching fishtail clips and I got them from JetPens! I have them in a few sizes and I don’t remember exactly which. (Thanks for watching! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos.)
Welcome to the dark side! 😈 Gorgeous Weeks you have. I think this is the last year I'll be buying one because I'm just not using it enough to justify the cost, but I love them so much... aesthetically. I'm really only using this year's for bill tracking even tho the intent was to use it for work and "business purposes." I'll be very surprised if you don't wind up getting a clear cover. Almost everyone I know starts off with it being unsheathed but depending on design, if it's heavily used, you may want to protect it. Enjoy!!!
Haha thank you! I’ve been using mine a bunch since I manage a lot of work tasks every week. At the moment, I have it in a Chic Sparrow TN since I realized that it fits a personal size one I already have, but it doesn’t leave my desk.
I use an Essential living planner which is great for planning out my days to a t! It's really big which I like. Especially monthly overviews help me a lot to keep track of everything. Oh and I watch your video's whenever they come out.
Hi! It’s the Hobonichi Weeks and this particular fabric is the Liberty Fabrics Joanna Louise. To get them outside of the twice a year releases Hobonichi does (since they’re dated planners), you can sometimes find people reselling them on Etsy. Here’s the listing on Hobonichi’s website, though theirs are sold out: www.1101.com/store/techo/en/2022/sp/detail_cover/wb22_libertyjlouise/ I got on the email list at JetPens so I was notified when these arrived. They tend to sell pretty quickly. My friend’s store sometimes does a group buy-in with their customers where they all split the cost to ship from Japan.
Okay, planner people! Tell me about your planners! What do you use, what's your favorite thing about them?
Your 'its' fine, it's not a big deal' after making a mistake and trying to cover it with a sticker was a mood. That's me all the time. I'm always afraid to use the sticker in the 'wrong' place, or make a mistake with a dark coloured ink. But 2022 is the year of No More Hesitation for me and your new channel is so inspiring!

Ooo I like that one better than the one I just ordered!
Now that I am an "almost empty nester" with a career that is slowing down towards retirement, my planning needs are more personal than work-related, so I was drawn to bullet journaling because it allowed me to customize and focus on Lists, which I make daily!

Aw, thank you! I’m glad that you found me! My favorites that post often are Job’s Journal and Abbey Sy.

I love all your videos…the more the merrier! I watch them as they come out; and sometimes re-watch later!
Aww, thank you so so much!
I love that you have a regular schedule of videos! I watch them as they come out, usually in the evenings once my baby has dozed off

Ooh that sounds so nice! Probably something lovely and positive to flip back through in the future.
Thanks for sharing. Just found your videos and I'm enjoying them as they come out.

I was so excited to see you in a hobo weeks! It’s my ride or die planner😍. I pretty much watch your videos once I receive a notification, haha
Ahh yes! It’s been a really good planner fit for me so far. So happy I finally got one! Also, thank you for watching regularly! I appreciate it a whole lot.

Aww, that makes me so happy! Thank you for watching and commenting. It brightens my day!
I use my Weeks as a Work planner, too! Love your channel - love all the fountain pen and journal content!

That’s so creative! I love that if there isn’t something out there that’s what you need, you can just make your own.
@@JournalSunshine Isn't it cool that we live in an era where pretty much anyone can print pretty much anything? I love it!
I like to save your videos for when I'm also journaling, but I usually watch them within a few days of you posting! More videos is always better :)
That’s so fun! I’m happy that folks are journaling along.

Where did the sunflower stickers come from?? 🌻 they are oh so lovely
I got a big stack of clear floral stickers from various AliExpress shops a while back.
Enjoyed your video. Can I ask where you got your flower stickers.
Sure, they’re from a bunch of different stores on AliExpress. I’ve also gotten some from Stationery Pal.
I use an Essential living planner which is great for planning out my days to a t! It's really big which I like. Especially monthly overviews help me a lot to keep track of everything. Oh and I watch your video's whenever they come out.
Do you ever shop at Wonderfair? One of my shops for sure. 😉
Oh yes! I stopped by there on tour once, their old location. I loved their home shopping livestreams during lockdown!
Love your setup! Where are the floral (clear ones) from ??
Thank you! I got those from various stores on AliExpress.
What is the name of this particular planner? I can’t seem to find it. I love the floral cover!
