Yay Miffy plushies! Did you know Miffy is of dutch origin, and her original name is Nijntje? (Short word for konijntje, which means bunny in dutch. Compare it with 'bun') her design is already 68 years old and she has her own museum in the Netherlands. Can you tell I'm autistic lol 😂
It’s so validating that you move from book to book based on what you feel you need because I always feel so guilty when i planner hop. Thanks for explaining how you use your weekly! Your videos have helped me a lot in learning how to manage my day to day as a neurodivergent person. Can’t wait for the gloomies to go on sale!
Your Ghost cards look SOOOOOO cool!!! Well done you🌟I’m so hoping to get some next time🙏🏻Well done on making it through another week…the weather here in the UK has been tragic😵💫
Something i’ve been doing is getting a set of one single color dots and just using that as a journal dot so it doesn’t interfere with the other sheets of dots (and not worrying about the specific date because at this point i journal so much that it doesn’t matter to me) Also loving how the spreads are looking for you!!
so excited for this video--- got inspired to get the Cousin as well (i had been debating for a While about a spring start calendar) after I realized I hadn't touched my old notebook for over a couple weeks and wanted just. A big book of everything. That becomes almost an artifact for my future self once I'm done. Its been working so well and is a lot nicer to carry around than I feared it to be? Love your videos, love your vibe, I hope your time is soft + kind to you :*
I’ve already come back to rewatch this video a couple times as I settle into my own shaken up journal system! I love the concept of a “tome” you carry around, and I’ve found my own version in a TN that lets me compartmentalize to avoid the overwhelm of one big notebook… excited to keep following your journaling journey. Sending you many well wishes for the incoming week! ✨
Hi Megan. I discovered your early youtube videos from 6 years ago, and was so impressed with your journaling and the way you kept yourself organized. At my work, my work journal/notebook really helps to keep me organized and grounds me when I 'm stressed, and it really was a life saver at times. So I really value your videos. I'm glad I remained subscribed to your youtube channel for the few years you were absent, and I'm so glad you are back doing these videos again. I enjoy them very much and look forward to them each week. By the way, you have good taste in donuts! :)
watching/listening to your video in the background whilst doing some puzzles after a long energy draining day is my ultimate chill time. sending you so much love
I started journalling in my planner after I was inspired by one of your setups, it's a lot nicer than lugging around a stack of notebooks when away for a few nights 😊
I love your videos, they're always so comforting. I hope everything gets figured out easily for your shop so I can buy some ghosts too, they're so cute!
Your weather seems just like my weather. It's either dreary and dark or rainy and cold. The sun peeped through a few more times this week so I'm hoping the warm days come soon. I like how you documented your Gloomies' packing in your Cousin. It's giving me more ideas and suggestions on how to fill my commonplace book.
would it be possible to ask for a link on the article on commonplacing please? :) i started commonplace book after seeing your videos, and love reading more about it atm
We're in a severe drought here in Spain, I don't even want to think about how dire the situation will be in the summer, so seeing all that rain in your videos has me envious 😔 Catching up on your vlogs while working on uni assignments 💫
Ah this is such a nice way to start my Sunday off after a far-too-busy Saturday… I came home and slept for about 12 hours 🥴 This is a lovely start to a quiet and restful day of reading (I’m reading the Court of Thorns and Roses books after how you talked about them, currently on book 2!). Thank you for sharing with us ❤
thank you so much for your videos. I’m also autistic and they’re so calming, so inspiring, so validating. Thank you for existing and for sharing your life with us!
Ok I think I wanna get the cousin now 😂 I think I’ll order it for the next year AND the weeks bc the weeks worked surprisingly good for me (and my lost adhd brain) but sometimes it feels a bit small for more stuff to glue in and collect and I wanna get to drawing again and I think the cousin would be a good book for everything 😮 and I can use the weeks on the go bc it fits so nicely in every bag ❤ I just love seeing I’m not the only one switching between books ❤
Print books are great but there's a definite convenience to the Kindle -- and it's much better for your eyes than your phone or tablet screen. Anyone who reads a lot will eventually (i.e., i n later years) feel the eye strain from the phone/tablet. Have you tried audiobooks? Even though I'm a fan of radio information shows, plays, etc., I can't get into audiobooks. 🐕
Your A5 book is looking great. I want one but I am determined to finish this A6 book this year. It actually feels sort of weird to flip thru it with it already being April. I seriously don't know how the time is passing so quickly. That wax seal looks cool af. And long hair, don't caaaaaaaare.
You inspired me to buy a hobonichi cousin! I’ve never owned one but it seemed up my alley. I’m actually so nervous to really start it though. Lol I’m commenting before I even watch your video but I’m excited to see how you use it!
As someone who's been inspired by you and your vulnerability in videos, and is possibly interested in sharing journal pages / spreads online, I'm curious-- how do you navigate the need for privacy and not sharing too personal things that you write? Are you censoring yourself in a certain way knowing its filmed? Just thought this was an interesting topic and would love your thoughts on this. 🤔❤
i’m reading six of crows on kindle app on my phone too, i “read” a year ago by audiobook and it didn’t click for me, because of the show i was flabbergasted that i didnt enjoyed the characters as much a i did in the show, and yep it’s much better on ebook
i tried using the pilot frixion pen in my a6 stalogy and i was horrified when i looked back to find that a couple pages had been erased. not the whole page but just parts. the eraser also ruined the coating on the paper. maybe i am too heavy handed but i had to go back to my fountain pen. luckily i could make out what was there before but my heart fell on my desk when i saw that. i would suggest doing test runs before committing. if you erase a lot do not use it.
I still cant believe I bit the bullet and ordered a cousin and then saw your last video pop up a couple of days after I received it. I love your notebook videos so much, they bring such a sense of calm, especially when I'm feeling anxious. I'm still working out what works for me, so my plan is to have my system figured out and perfected by the time the Jan 2024 cousin is released. Where do you get your little stickers from? They are so cute. Also how do you choose your common place topics?
✨✨ what kind of printer are you using for journaling in the hobonichi? I’ve been trying to use the laser printer at work but I don’t like the results 🤔
I’m not sure if you already headed out on your trip, but if I was in your shoes, I would use a spare laptop case (or something similar) and put my notebook in that. 💙💙 Just a suggestion, in case you have shipping issues. Your pages are so beautiful! I aspire to have mine look this nice at a glance. I am not there yet, for several reasons 😅
I love the way that your hobonichi is evolving! It is beautiful! it has inspired me to Common lplace more and add your organization to my book! It is a beautiful Recording of your life!
Where has a square glue stick been all my life!? What's the brand? I need one ASAP. I love seeing how you use the Cousin, it's very interesting. I think I would love a system like that, all in one book, but I always struggle with A5 books as I like to fill out my planner/journal in places without a big enough table. Plus I write a lot bigger than you so I probably couldn't fit my tasks into the thin "strips" on the weekly view. Also, I'm wondering where you announce when your shop is open? (I assume you only open it temporarily since I always just get a password field page when I click the link in the video description.)
do you date your commonplace entries since you don't use the dates on the page? just curious if that's something you find important! just started journaling and you've been a great guide
Are you still working through patreon pre-orders or did I miss the boat entirely for ordering cards as a non patreon member?? I’ve been dying to get my hands on them🥺
Always such a comfort to watch your videos! I was wondering, how did you get your pictures to look like Polaroids? Did you use an app or make the border yourself? I really like the look.
the cousin has a year of weekly and daily pages, so i’m hoping it’s going to last me. if i run out i’ll move into the jan 2024 book- i don’t see myself finishing it all before that!
Love how your style looks in the hobonichi! It feels cozy for some reason 😌 are you concerned with matching the color scheme of photos or stickers to the color of the daily page or do you just ignore that?
The new way you're able to track your days/habits/nightly routine is so tempting for me to move away from my Weeks... If you have the bandwidth to answer this questions, do you think you've been tracking more in the Cousins than in the Weeks/is it more accessible? Also thank you for sharing how you're making your "polaroids" I was like, 'what camera/tiny printer is she using?'
it’s an epson printer- i think the model number is ‘35’ but i’ve had it for over 7 years so i don’t think it’s made anymore! tbh the pictures aren’t super super clear at this size, but i think that’s a limitation of most inkjet printers
I really really want to buy your Gloomies cards you made. They're so perfect 🥹 Do you know when your shop will be open again? I don't want to put any pressure on you. Just don't want to miss out on the Gloomies.
We have soo many issues with Evri too! And we’ve found that when they do actually deliver, they don’t knock the door so we’ve had some parcels sitting on our doorstep in full view, usually getting rained on 🫠
it’s honestly so upsetting lol 🫠 they never knock for us either. i have to obsessively keep an eye on the tracking because if it ends up on the doorstep it’ll get stolen!

This little man figurine sitting on your books always trips me out. My mind always thinks it is a full-grown man shrunk.
Your Ghost cards look SOOOOOO cool!!! Well done you🌟I’m so hoping to get some next time🙏🏻Well done on making it through another week…the weather here in the UK has been tragic😵💫
everyone is talking about signs of spring but all we’ve had locally is torrential rain 😅
@@MeganRhiannon absolutely! I’m sure I saw the sun yesterday for about 2 hours but now thinking it may have just been some sort of weird mirage🫥
I needed this video today. The endless overcast weather is really getting me down and I appreciate the chill, relaxing vibe of your videos.
new comfort video is outttt ! Your videos are everything to me
Something i’ve been doing is getting a set of one single color dots and just using that as a journal dot so it doesn’t interfere with the other sheets of dots (and not worrying about the specific date because at this point i journal so much that it doesn’t matter to me)

Do you print the pictures on a regular printer ? and how early do you plan out what to print? Your journal looks really neat!

i was just binge watching your old notebook videos !! omg so excited to watch this !~
Wonderful video. May I ask what kind of pen and pen tip size you use, especially for your weekly spreads? So neat and pleasant to look at!
I love the tiny stickers you use, I really want to start a collection of small decoration sticker things

Megan, where are your black boots from? They're stunning ❤
Your nails are always so pretty. Do you do them yourself or get them done? Also i love your handwriting and the cohesiveness of your pages!!!
I would love to listen to some rain sounds while you're talking. It's like the perfect ASMR combination 🥺👉🏼👈🏼
