*“Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.” - Mary Kay Ash*
Nice thought, but not very realistic.
This is amazing! I love your persistent
You give me dhar mann vibes (lol)😭🙌🏾
Hey Carrie! For the index - on the page you could write the page numbers and then in the subject, you can write the date and your mood! Love your videos…you’ve really inspired me to journal 📓
That sounds like a cool idea!
Ya
Hey Carrie, i started my 5th journal a couple weeks ago and i'm in love with it, I would say for the context page only put down entries that are important like major events, birthdays, or achievements. I can't wait to see your progress in this journal.
You should put the date and maybe the highlight of your day, or what was the best part of that day.
(For the table of contents)
if you write an average of 2 pages a day, you could fit in every entry that you write in the contents, but I tend to just go with major points like birthdays (because I don't write as often, so my journals last longer) if you want a recommendation. I love your videos by the way! I started journaling last year in August because of one of your videos so really it is all thanks to you :)
This is a PERFECT video for me as I'm about to start my 4th journal on January 1st 2022!! Thank you for making this! I can't wait
Omg same 4th journal on 1 jan
Oh....right, it's almost 2022. I forgot lol but good luck n your journal♡
Omg me too 😂💖💖
i’m starting my 4th journal too!!
I’m probably going to finish my 5th journal in a month I’m so excited! I already have my next journal, and I love it 📔
You can use the index for writing only important, happy, funny or meaningful events. You don't have to include every entry you write in the index
I agree, that’s how I would do it.
For my table of contents I put my monthly playlist and the month I start- but for you I feel like more important entries you want to remember or reread should go there
I’m not a daily journaler btw I journal when I feel it hence why the month and playlist thing
Also for the page section (table of contents) you could put like if you wrote 4 pages you could put 1-4
My first Journal in the year 2022 will be my Journal #50!!! Long, meaningful journey and I am grateful! Thank you for sharing, Carrie 💌 ✍ 🖊 📓 📔 🥺
When I used to do a table of contents in my journal, I would index notable entries/big events/funny things/major breakthroughs/etc. Things i wanted to be able to find and go back to easily later on. I would write a couple key words and the page #. I also would write the page # that each new month started on.
It'll be so fun for you to flip back on your old journals and see colorful entries!
You inspired me to start journaling and I’m on my 3rd one! P.s CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
That’s amazing!!! Thank you so much🥰💖
I'm on my 2nd one
I'm now in 5th Grade!
Not far off for 6th grade!
Same! Lol I’m in fifth grade!
Don’t be so hard on yourself, the title page was GORGEOUS!! 💗
Hi Carrie, I think what your doing is SOO amazing. You've inspired thousands of people to start journaling including me. I'm so happy that we're all doing this together. I think I speak for all of us when I say THANK YOU!!!
I would just write the more important entries for the table of contents. Great video!
I just wanna say, Congratulations 🎊 keep Journaling and inspiring us.. love u so much Carrie! 💓
-Kimi Yamamoto
Hi Carrie! I started my 2nd daily journal in October of this year, (maybe I'll finish it before the new year, but no guarantees). No doubt daily journaling is one of the best things I've done for myself. Thank you for sharing so much with us. All my love to you. ❤️😘
Did you succeed?
Yaaaay i've been *WAITING FOR THIS!!*
My first journal wasn’t really a journal, it was a story that I decided to ditch and start from the back. I haven’t really had the motivation to make anotherrrr so that one was my last :T but thanks to Carrie’s ✨ inspiration ✨ I think I’ll continue in a NEW AND IMPROVED journal just in time for de New Years 💖☺️ also it’s really nice seeing you picking up from your journal decor mistakes and trying to look on the positive side- really made my day ✨
Idea for the index here!!!
I started out by filling the index with only the months and years (so if I started a new month I would log the first day of that month in the index, or the first page of a new year) but nowadays I fill out whenever a new week starts. That way I can easily skip through certain times in my life (holidays, exam weeks, summer, stuff like that) and also seen when I have written a lot and when I have not. Sometimes I write 20 pages a week, othertimes just 1.
I’m starting a new journal today as well! Perfect timing to watch this video!
Maybe in the contents page just note down your favourite journal entries :)
I have been journaling for about 4 years, and I have tried daily journaling multiple times, but every time I would just quit. I decided to watch your videos, and you encouraged me to daily journal again! I am now 62 days into daily journaling, and will hit day 75 on my birthday!
Hey Carrie!!
First of all, thank you for inspiring me to start journaling this year! I think it has really helped me with exteriorizing my feelings and thoughts, which is something that I have always struggled with.
As for your dilemma with the entries page, I thought maybe you could wait until you end it and write your favourite entries when its done, or maybe while your updating it if you felt like it was a really good day for you to go back and read it!
Whatever you end up deciding will be totally amazing!
Thank you for your inspiration, hope you have a wonderful christmas!❤️
For the table of contents, I documented whenever I started a new month (I'd make a cover page for that month), if one of my journal entries were of a single topic (a vivid dream I had, movie/tv show review, an epiphany I had, etc), and if there was some sort of milestone/event (first day of work, news of someone's death, the day I quit my job, etc)....just anything I feel like is significant that I'd want to remember, and want to be able to find it easily.
I have started my first journal yesterday on the 1st of 2022. In the index you should do the important pages like your first entry, your last entry, an entry about a really fun day.
Ahhh can’t wait!!! I’ve been thinking about this video all day!
LOVE YOU!!! So excited for you to see it!
@@CarrieWalker I love it
If i had that index, I would use it for my most important entries. Like for example the first day I got it, my birthday, an important milestone in my relationship, a vacation I went on.
I think if ur day went average or u didn't experience something out of the ordinary don't write it on the contents page. However, if something happened that really caught ur eye then write the subject as what was different today.
For my table of contents I only put entries that I know I’ll want to find later or special days and topics. That kind of thing.
Your hand writing is amazing. I could never write like you
Hey Carrie! I think for the table of content(s) you should do the weeks of the month! Like “1/17/22 - 1/24/22” :D
I just started a new journal 3 days ago as I was uninspired to write In the one i started before that! It is my second journal and I'm excited to decorate it with you!
WOW,😱. It is so cool😎 , Carrie you have inspired me to to use a diary. I am usinv my first one and i am about to finish it!. It has a weird feeling when gou get a new dairy 📖😊
It's fun to watch you write..You have such nice handwriting. Lefties intrigue me. I am of a generation where many of us were forced to switch handedness...& I'm one of them. I wish I'd been left alone . My husband is a lefty.....so is one of his 2 sisters, his brother, & his mother.
I don't know if this has already been mentioned in the comments, but I had an idea about the contents page (if you haven't started that already). You could put the page numbers, for example the date you started your first entry, write that date down and if you've written more than one page for another entry, do the same thing as the first entry but do for example: 5th - 7th, and continue that for all entries. For the subject, instead of trying to come up with what each entry is about, you could write each entry's date so then it's easier. Hope that made sense. I don't normally comment on videos, but thought I'd give you a suggestion :)
So basically it would look like this:
Date
1st - 3rd (if you write multiple pages for one entry, or just write one page and add only that one date).
Subject
Month, day and year of entry (something like that).
You should use the table of contents as holidays! Or like your birthday, things you would wanna reread easily
Omg it made me so happy that we have the same journal ❤ but mine is brand new because I almost finished my journal
Love the sticker!!! You could always use a life of shipping tape over the sticker to keep it from coming g off the cover.
I can’t wait to see what happens
🥰❤️
i always have my last page a index, but not with pages, more
like the big stuff that happend in my journal. :)
Ur videos r awsome carrie cant wait 😁
Hi, Carrie, so what i think you should do is write all of
the entrys that you think are inportant to you don't force yourself!
You can do the most important thing in the index. Like if you put your goals in the journal you can put that in the index or something like that.
i really love seeing your content because it has given me so much inspo i've always been really into journaling but i have never been able to bring my self to get a journal and actually start. when i was younger i had diaries and it's so fun to look back on them and i can't wait to be able to do that now for my future self! Sooo..... i just ordered my first ever real journal, new pins, markers (to make it pretty), and a brand new pencil case!! im so excited to start my journal exactly at 12 on january 1st!!! With you along my side to help.
Thankyou so much for this video! I just wanted to mention that I love you and your channel. This video got me to start journaling. I’m still working on journaling everyday, but this helps a lot. You are such a huge inspiration.😊
I also love the fruit of the spirit sticker❤️
Carrie you are my inspiration
I have that same black coloured diary and I'm stisfied with that diary 😄 😉
I honestly love black and my most of the things are black ✌️
Im so exited-!!💗
Thee table of content can be used for anything. An example is if you read a lot you can write down what books you read, the options are endless.
Your videos inspire me so much!! Just subscribed 🥳🥰
Hi Carrie! I like the cover page design, it's super cute!
Yes put in the entries in the contents
Today I’m starting my FIRST journal! I’m so excited that I found you! Wish me luck in my new journey
It's perfect!
Hey Carrie, I just wanted to say that I started journaling on the 25th November after watching some of your videos, and it has been amazing! Thanks for inspiring me to start journaling!
i had a journal with an index during the summer months and i just wrote the pages (ex. 1-5) and then what kind of entry it was. So for example "sketch" when I drew something or "lyrics + song name" when i wrote down lyrics on said page. if it was just a usual entry i would write down the date and when i wrote about a certain topic i wrote that down (if u do prompts you could write the one u wrote about down). I don't know if that helps you and if it fits your journaling style but that's how I did it :).
great video tho! I'm about to finish my 13th journal and your videos are always really inspiring to me and really make me want to write. thankyou and I hope you're having an amazing day.
Wow! So pretty😊
I just went to Walmart yesterday to buy my second journal and i picked the exact same one as you!!!! Thats crazy! I started my first journal this year with your month journal prompts and now i finished a whole journal. thank you for making videos!
Hi Carrie! I have a suggestion for you regarding your table of contents. I would say just write out the journal as you normally do. Once it's filled out, then take on the table of contents. If you have enough entries to fill it out, great! If you have too many to include, then maybe just include the entries that are most significant to you and that you'll know for a fact you'll be re-reading quite a bit.
Hope that helps. I've never had (or heard of) a journal with a table of contents in it before, but if I did, that is how I would approach it. Otherwise, keep on keepin' on!
OMG JUST THE VIDEO I NEEDED!! YOU THE BESTTTTTT❤️❤️ and btw it’s the victory day of my country tmr 16 December 🇧🇩🇧🇩❤️❤️
Hi Carrie
I’m a huge fan and I love to read books, soooo I would rlly like it if you did kind of like how to start a reading journal or if you could recommend some other UA-camrs who do reading journal setups(Congrats on 52.4K!!!📝🎉🎊)
Thanks Carrie
✨💞Lots of love from Egypt 🇪🇬
Carrie i think you should write the date as the topic and you do write like 2,3 pages for like 1 date so i think the spaces will be enough, you should log every each entries
Your writing is so beautiful
for the table of contents I would put the days something significant or important happend. you could write the page number/date and under subject you could write a short description of the important event. hope this inspires something
Hey thanks!! Today i just wrote my first entry in my journal and i just loved it. Thanks for inspiring me to write!!
YAY that’s so awesome!
I’m starting my first beacuse my life is crazy and I want to remember it when I’m older
Hey Carrie love the journaling vids! Was wondering if you would be able to do a real time journal with me video so we can all journal together! 😃
I love that idea, it’ll be like a study with me video. I think it will be very helpful. I use the study with me videos all the time, it’ll help me focus on journaling to if someone did it. When I journal, I get so distracted and it takes me forever to write a page because I have a running mind. Lol
Hey Carrie!
I was wondering if you could put the name of the 21st journal that you got at Walmart, I've been looking for a journal with page numbers since forever ( I'm like you and I literally never my own pages). It's really annoying to have to do that.
What I would suggest for the index table of contents considering you only have 130 spaces and there are 240 pages, is just put in the most like absolutely dire important stuff you want to remember.
I always make the cover of any of my journals really attractive. If you make it more aesthetically pleasing you're more than likely to the journal.
only do important entries so if you ever want to look back at important days you can just look in the index 😀
Hell~o, Carrie! 😆🎉Congrats on your 21st journal and 21k subs!✨ In the index, I think it depends on what you think is going to be helpful to you. For me, I like to write main changes and parts just for me to know, "oh, this happened here, or this started here." For instance, "a new decision," "coming home from college," "new friend," "travelled to..." "birthday," "second dose," "quarantine" etc. One thing I like to do is put a symbol or emoji (birthdays, sad days, funny moments, spiritual, etc.) and then on the right, I write the pages of where this type of event occurred. It's helpful to me since sometimes, I just want to see specific things. Also, to see just how eventful a day was. Hope this helps and give you an idea! Love you! ❤❤❤
I have just like a needed paper journal so I use it for drawing and taking notes but I also use it for journaling and diary and secrets like a normal journal and then I can also use it for other things like grocery list and stuff like I said it's just like a needed paper journal it just carries paper for if I need it
I did a table of contents in my first journal but I didn’t do it in my second one and i kind of miss it. Im about to start my third on January 1(yeah I’ve been writing like 4 pages a day for the past week so I can finish it on New Year’s Eve lol) and I think im going to add a table of contents to the front because I like seeing the dates so that I can go back like a year and read what I wrote on the exact day a year ago and it’s kind of satisfying to watch it fill up over time. I usually just write the page number and then in place of the subject I write the date
In my past 2-3 journals I’ve made an ‘important pages’ thing with the page number and it’s worked for me :)
Thanks a lot you inspired me although mine was not that great but I love your videos thanks
I started my first diary in 2020 and continued that same one for 2021 but for 2022 I started a new journal and I’m like so happy that I completed a whole journal :D
0:16 I am a beginner and I want to start daily journaling in the next year, so that video would be so helpful! The first page of your journal is GORGEOUS 😍And also, you could just write the dates when something important happened n your life in the index. I wish they just gave you enough spaces so you don’t have to figure out what to do lol😂Anyways, I loved the video. Ily and stay safe!!
You can use the table of contents has a reading log if you read books
Maybe every week, you pick like one of favorite or worst days (day with big emotions) and write it in the index (you don’t have to to do every week but that’s just an example
I am waiting for my cousin to come visit and I remembered you after watching Amanda rach lee bullet journaling and I have not written in my journal for like over a year and I thought it would be awkward writing in it randomly but you inspired me to continue after a year 😂 thanks so much for inspiring me
I feel like since you started the journal definitely mark down the first entry. But when you finish a entry think if it feels important try putting it in the Index.
Me writing down hello 1st journal🥰🥰
Use the table of contents for important journal pages
I have an idea for the table of contents. You should do it for every month. Or maybe special events and breaks in school like now
You know what’s funny I bought a new journal that’s the red version of what you have lol🌝
How's about making this black journal a "bonus"journal? That's a very cool journal!
I know im late but I do agree that you should only pinpoint your more important entries
You can do like in the Index like your favorite memories you right down and you fell like you would want to go, back and look at in 5 or 3 years so it's easy to, find
For the tabel you can writ addresses.❤
Hi Carrie I started with my fiftieth journal
I am left-handed too. The worst part about being left-handed is when you write something like in your journal, for example with a pen that's thick inked you like right? But if your hand up you see a bunch of ink on your hand and then you look at the journal and then like it's all smeared
In the index you should put down the stuff that you loved the most.
For the table of contents maybe do like
December pgs 1-25
Week 1 pgs 1-7
Week 2 pgs 8-16
Week 3 pgs 17-25
Something like that instead of days themselves ? :)
For your index, because sometimes some pages take multiple pages to wright each and every page. Write either each subject or everyday.
Edit (2 months later): 1:16 i have that green one! its actually right in front of me.
1:33 have that- its in my room-
maybe you should update the index weekly? like sum up ur week in a line?
Carrie you should do the index but just right the dates and no topic that's what I do
You should put each month and super existing entries in the table of contents
You might know this, but I am reminding you that you should start the line alwys with the corner, it gives a little bit more space and doesn't waste the page too.
If you leave the table of contents for the most important entries, you're not going to put anything in it because nothing seems "important enough" in the moment. I would just wing it and put one good thing from a particular entry if you can't think of a well-rounded subject. Sort of like a gratitude journal many people do in their bullet journals where it's one line of positivity per day.
Judging from how fast you complete your journals, there's enough space for all the entries. You've pointed to a blank page you can utilize if you run out of space, and if that's not enough - index the rest on the last page of the journal, going backwards. I've done that many times when my pre-arranged index betrayed me.
