- If you’ve ever read through the comments section on some of my videos, you’ve probably seen loads of people correcting my mistakes. Mistakes happen. I’m not perfect. And I strongly believe that mistakes are what make us human. They should be celebrated!

I made a mistake last year on my birthday and wrote "20 yars old" instead of "20 years old", people online told me there was nothing wrong with being a 20 year old pirate ! I remember and laugh about it every time I see the "mistake" :)
"Eourope" lol I LOVE YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDE ❤
Gabriela Prieto wow you are soo pretty 😍
This is just what I needed! My mom and I both Bujo and she's been an artist her entire life. I'm always jealous of her beautiful spreads! But she gave me an awesome tip. If you use a white gelly roll pen to cover up mistakes it's much more smooth and beautiful than white out. I never use white out. you can't write overtop very well. the gelly rolls make the paper smooth again. I hope this helps someone out. 😊
Oh, I love that tip, Kathryn! Thanks!
I so appreciate the transparency!!! Ppl really try to keep it perfect but it's impossible! ❤
Hahah that July "welcome page" is the finest I've ever seen. So awkwardly amazing.
Thanks for sharing your Bullet Journal bloopers :) One unintended side-effect I've noticed from keeping a bullet journal, is that I'm much better at letting go of mistakes- whether in my journal or elsewhere.
Thank you so much for this video. So often we forget we are human. You are the reason I am able to move on to the next day or next week with a positive recovery. Sometimes it is as simple as turning the page. What I like more than anything is your attitude! I love the laughter when you talk about it. You own it, laugh about it then turn the page...done. Now that is what I call a perfect mistake.
YES, Andrea! I love that you got that insight :) It's all about being able to laugh at ourselves and not take things to harshly. :)
I looked up thousands of tips how to create the perfect bullet journal, but I feel like this is what I actually needed. I was scared to make mistakes but now I'm curious about the beautiful things that I can turn those mistakes into. Now I'm finally ready to start, 1000 x thank you ! :) :) :)
"I turned the page and I moved on" @ 4:54 Love it!!
The only way to live a mistake free life is not do anything! What kind of life would that be?
I couldn't agree more, Mike!
The one I live. Spoiler alert: it's very lame
I use my "mistake" spreads for doodle collections and lettering ideas!
CarolitaRo brilliant!
Love your positivity and sense of humor! We're so hard on ourselves too often.
"We get to turn the page and move on."
That was deep and I love it.
Thank you for sharing! I especially loved your comment, (paraphrasing) if anything, bullet journaling has helped me get over my own perfectionism. I need that, too! And I waited and waited and waited to start a bullet journal, because I couldn't decide which layout to use, or I would forget to mark things off, or I didn't know how to incorporate the journal I had compared to the other journals I have seen online. Finally, I started last week, and if I missed some, I didn't care. I just needed to get organized. So, thank you! I think I will have to adapt and grow to get different sections started, and I am ok with that. Baby steps! Have a great day! :)
Thanks for the thoughtful comment, Kara! (name twins) XD
Thank you for showing the mistakes and thank you for being so okay with that fact that they can happen.
It is so calming.
The beauty of the Bullet Journal is that we gotta turn the page and move on! - thank you for the inspiration!!!
I'm glad that I went back and watched this right now. I have been very busy this week and I've made a few mistakes. I love your positive attitude. Greatly appreciate all of your videos!
Mistakes happen, that´s part of being human. Thanks for sharing. Love all your bullet journals.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! It's so nice to hear that it's OK to make mistakes, cover them up, and just move on. I am an elementary counselor and am always telling the kids that making mistakes helps us all to learn patience, acceptance, courage, and perseverance. Thank you for sharing!!!
Aw I really hate making mistakes when writing on my bullet journal because I always go head-first with a pen cause I'm rushing all the time. But I realise that when I flip back to pages I've written weeks ago and see the funny mistakes I've made, I can't help but to smile. And I Guess that's the beauty of bullet journals, they reflect you and your growth. And they remind you that youre not perfect and it's totally fine. Because weeks from now, you'll still be around and happy when you look back on all the time you've spent 😊
This one was totally the best video you've ever made
Thank you!!! :)
Just got my bullet journal today. Thanks for the freeing advice and help getting me started.
This is great. I love your positive attitude about mistakes and errors. It's so true - it's part of not being a robot 🤖Thanks Kara!
I love the idea of covering mistakes with colouring sheets. I'm going to have to keep this in mind!
Such a great message! Thanks for the reminder that it is ok not be perfect with my bujo
PS: "we can make mistakes and move on." ❤❤❤ Such a good vibe! Thank you!
I wish there were a "love" button for this video! I'm a classical pianist, so I've had a lot to learn about perfectionism versus creativity. I feel like I've learned more in one year of bullet journaling than I did in 30 years of music practice about the art of letting go and enjoying the creative result, whatever it may be. You've expressed that so well!
Eourope is such a fun mistake! I make them all the time, especially because my native language is Dutch, so sometimes I don't even notice I made a mistake in the beginning. (I use English, because for some reason it feels better than my own language.) No one is perfect and I think mistakes can be really charming :)
"Wednesday - was yesterday!"
MY FAVORITE hahahaha I loved watching this. I've only been using my bujo for nearly 2 months now but I honestly can't wait to keep on doing it until I actually have a lot of journals at hand like how you do now! It must be so nice to look back on them (and laugh at mistakes like these too haha) Thank you for posting this!
I am brand new to bullet journeling and love your blog, instagram and UA-cam videos. Thank you for being so humble and kind. sharing your mistakes takes courage particularly in this day and age where scrutiny can come from people hiding behind their screens. Your work and being are lovely. again, thank you for sharing and for being inspirational.
My first attempt at a bullet journal was in an art journal which allowed for a heavier hand and didn’t ghost with markers.
My new journal is a true bullet journal and I’m learning to deal with ghosting and have ordered better pens to prevent the smearing. The smearing is driving me nuts.
But I keep reminding myself that I’m doing this to work on my creativity as well as stay organized with being in school, starting a new career, and having a large family.
Thank you for sharing that you’re human, too. ☺️👍🏻
I'm new to the bullet journal thing and this video is really helpful I've been so afraid to start my journal because I want it to be perfect but it's not a big deal I can always turn it into something else. Thank you for all these videos
your positive attitude has inspired me to realise that mistakes happen all the time and it doesnt matter :)
great video. tfs. I think I found a new inspirational quote "just turn the page".
Fewww. Thank you for this vlog. Although I have to say at first I would get so upset by my mistakes, weather messing up on dates or lay out not working the way I would like. Now I've been taking my mistakes in stride and have found ways to fix small errors. I guess its a learning curve in the journal and also learning to not be so hard on my self.
I really needed this video! As a new Bujo user mistakes have been totally stressing me out as I didn't start basic like I probably should have.
I found this video super helpful! Making mistakes in my journal is frustrating sometimes so sometimes you just gotta tell yourself to suck it up and move on, haha
I'm so glad you posted this. I was going to suggest this very topic to you after I saw your FB Live video with Good Housekeeping. Thanks for sharing the misspells, the bad layouts, "brain farts" (as we called them in high school).
I started my first bullet journal this week - I find yours incredibly lovely and inspiring:) Thank you for creating this content!
I made lots of mistakes at first and got frustrated and would think 'i can't do this' , but now I don't care about the mistakes, it's about the productivity and efficiency of the bujo, for me at least! mistakes and all!
Thank you Kara for your wonderful authenticity and what a life lesson just turn the page! Love it!
I wish I could draw an X through a few mistakes I've made outside of my bullet journal :)
Usually my bullet journal mistakes are a red flag that I am doing things when I'm too tired, so they serve a useful purpose! Love your positive attitude!
I loved this video. I'm a huge perfectionist but ever since I started using my bullet journal it's helped me remember mistakes happen. Life isn't perfect:)
I’ve just started my first bullet journal and all the ones I’ve seen look perfect so it’s nice to see someone whose been doing it awhile make mistakes. So thank you for making this video it’s really encouraged me to be creative with my mistakes in my bullet journal as well. Ohh I love the awesome designs on the sticker pages too 💙
Thanks for sharing this one! It's good to see that even you, Miss Kara, make mistakes sometimes and that it's perfectly okay to be imperfect sometimes!
this video couldn't have come soon enough lol. I just dealt with this yesterday as I was setting up my monthly February spread (a bit late). I tried bubble lettering my February goals page and I hated it from the minute I started, so I turned it into a doodle do page instead. I'm new to bullet journaling anyway. this is month 2, and I've had quite a few mess ups already, just figuring out spacing for things. I have a cheap little Walmart notebook that has 23 lines in all. and last month was a doozy figuring out how things would fit and what kind of spreads I could do easily. I ended up with quite a few doodle or planning test pages throughout January. and that's OK. It's a big reason why I love this whole bullet journaling. if you make a mistake, you can always turn the page.
I loved loved loved this video! Sometimes it's hard to deal with perfectionism and just let go and move on! Thank you so much for posting this 💞
I'm so clumsy especially with dates and numbers as well, so I pretty much gave up on a bullet journal and did a drawing journal instead, but seeing this video gave me hope to start again. :) Thank you so much for lessening the fear of mistakes.
Seeing videos like this make me feel a little less bad about my bullet journal which is my first one. :) Its ok not to be perfect.
Thank you very much for this! I think half of my bullet journal is mistakes though. But I'm sticking with it!
I always get really stressed with my mistakes, so this is a great way to calm myself down when I am freaking out hahahahaha. BTW, the "Eourope" mistake seems like a very light mistake for me!
I wish we could have more videos like this.
I always feel bad when I make mistakes, may it be on games, drawing, anything..... It ended on a point I'm so afraid of messing stuff I don't do anything at all.
I'm trying hard to change and this video helped a lot, thanks
You're welcome! Please don't beat yourself up -- mistakes happen all the time, and sometimes amazing things can come from them! View life as an experiment and see what happens
I really needed this!! I have such problems making my bullet journal because of ocd. I dont want it to be perfect but my brain does and its very tiring
Thank you and am glad I signed up for your emails and YT notifications. I am a curly hair specialist and working on my own BuJo for business and even one for clients to use in learning about how to work with their curly hair.
I love your business and creative teaching - thank you!
I love your attitude!
Thanks for sharing that with us Kara...I think we all want it to always be perfect, but heck, life is just not like that so why should our pages be like that...I love your handwriting :) Totally inspire me.
I just started BUJing... I really messed up and I just glued the pages together... then turned the page! Thank you for reminding me it's ok to mess up 😊
You're so welcome! That's the great thing...every time you turn the page and move on, you're strengthening your resolve to do that in the rest of your life! :)
Thank you for the video!I am thinking of strating a Bullet Journal!
Loved this - you make way fewer mistakes than I do! I too have misspelled Europe or European and am from there - easy to do in a hurry!
Wednesday was yesterday !!! Hahahaha love your attitude towards mistakes😆
Loved your advice about the turning page! Thats SO real!
"Wednesday was yesterday!!" i laughed so hard at that ahahha
that was really helpful! thanks BoHo Berry!💞
Love the video! Wouldn't it be great if we could just "turn the page" on all of our mistakes in life?
Your journals are so pretty! Wish I could draw as well as you do!
Thanks, this was highly motivationnal. 😊
Hi! I'm Raquel from Brazil! I loved so much this video! I'm new in this BuJo thing and totally feel this was made for me. One thing I've been noticing is that people are too worried about making beautiful BuJo's intead of making it work to become live easier and time more useful. I see some people stressed causa they make mistakes and so on, I guess your video will help a lot. You are really talented! Thanks for sharing your talent!
Thanks for helping me with my perfection problem.
I just started bullet journal this year... Gaah! No matter what I do my handwriting is awwwwful :( Despite your mistakes, your journal is my goal :D
This was such an uplifting video . Thank you 😋😍
starting on the time line 7:48, you still had not realize that a day was missing, However, i shouldnt but found this video as per the link you provided to me on another one of your videos. Thanks to be a chock full of laughs. But with all the errors that you pointed out, your speads were still beautiful and pleasing to the eye. I have always loved a creative error correction and this was definetly full of it. maybe i will pick up my bullet journa again thanks to you.................lol. Thanks for sharing
I love your bullet journal!💗
On the page with International Handwriting Day - Current Journal. Where is Wednesday? I see a pattern! My mistakes are all similar in nature. Thanks for sharing, I've always thought yours were perfect.
Aw, thanks, Joy! I actually didn't use my journal from Tuesday afternoon until Thursday morning that week because I was super sick :(
Loved this video. It's so true! I just posted something similar on my IG about turning the page when you don't like how something turned out. TFS!
Thanks for the video. One time I forgot the entire 'Wednesday' column for my July Calendar. No shame.
This is sooo true. This is what I try to stress people about as well! In my video people berated me because I accidentally spelled "Wednesday" wrong. 🙈 just gotta laugh it off!
Kara this video is just 👍👍👍👍...Thank you so much
I love all your video but I think this is my favorite 💙
I've made my first mistake in my current Bullet Journal while watching this video... ;) Luckily, my washi comes in handy! :)
I absolutely LOVE my fountain pens but constantly changing appointments and my own penchant for making errors has caused me to switch to FriXion pens that I can erase. Now the changes and errors don't bother me--much happier. Still have covered up sections or pages with embellishments/stickers/artwork, etc. :)
Thank you for these tips💖
** New Subby ** I've seen your posts on IG/Pinterest. Thanks for sharing your honesty and realness!!!!! Love and light from Toronto, Canada. From Lana
I don't know if you already have a video about this (I'm new here), but I'm going to college soon and wanted to start doing this to help me stay organized... and I was wondering if you could make a video on ideas for what to put on your pages in your journals.. because I feel like I would run out of ideas lol. Also, could you do a haul for all of the things you use to write with, sticky notes, etc.. And also, how do you make/where do you buy those page stickers? Thanks! xx
Hi Maddie... I'd recommend taking a look through my videos. I have everything you mentioned and more :)
Maddie Durham I started my first BuJo this year and thought I would run out of page ideas too, but here I am barely 2 months later and my BuJo is full of fun pages I never thought of before starting! Just get going and the ideas will come :)
No hate but I think you don't like Thursday 🤣🤣
True hahahaha
You're so sweet with your "mistakes" ;-)
hey there... ^.^ Just started to watch your videos and I love it. It's kinda fun that you write wrong the days of the week, because I do it too and I just thought that it was because I don't speak English very well 😂😂😂 haha xoxo ;*
lol I use BulletJournal in my Filofax and I also use washi more for covering than for decorating 🤣. I also have followers that point out misspelling in Italian, German or English ( my brain use three languages right now) ... i really appreciate constructive criticism but sometimes people is a bit rude in the comment or pm text.
Yes! When you make a mistake . . . Turn the page! Let go and enjoy the moment.
I noticed on the Ink Joy page there was "smoothe"....Did I see that right? :) :) I feel inspired by this video and I think I'll actually start one this time, rather than simply thinking about it.
4:50 "I _turned the page_ and moved on"
* squints*
Was that really unintentional? 😊
I do cover ups with washi tape ALL THE TIME! 🙋🏻❤
really appreciate this!
hey Cara, just wondering. How did you make the white decoration on your black journal? It's so pretty!
fixedsys2 it's a sticker. She makes and sells them in her shop.
I loved this video so much!!
That's what I like about the bullet journal. When you make a mistake, you can just turn the page or cover up. not something you can do with regular journals.
Not gonna lie; if I made a mistake that required covering up most if not all of the page, I would just glue the pages together and get on with it. I'm not creative enough to come up with a pretty cover-up.
On the plus side, my bujo isn't working out for me. The paper and dot ruling I can't do anything about until i can get a new journal, but now I know I can start over with a better format. And it might not look as nice as I'd like it to, but if it does what I need it to that's what matters, right?
Absolutely! It can be all about function over form, that's how the Bullet Journal system began :)
Such a good video idea!
My bullet journal is a hot mess compared to yours. But I really couldn't bother to spend much time stressing about little mistakes in a thing that is supposed to be a TOOL. It's supposed to make my life easier. I don't use a bullet journal to create a piece of art :D
So, very good video :)
you forget to put it Wednesday on the national day page
I love to bujo, but sadly I'm a very messy writer and I make mistakes a lot! But since I knew myself and this ist my first BuJo I bought Pens which you can easily erase, I highly recommend getting these, if you're as messy as me and don't want to waste nearly half of your BuJo because of mistakes :)
