I LOVE THE PLANNER IDEA!!!! Do yearly round ups! Like top 25 games of year. Favorite game of the month. Favorite game of year. It can be a bracket style with each favorite of the month battling it out.
Very cozy looking cardigan. After working on a computer all day, I really enjoy doing things not on a screen. Physically writing and drawing is very calming. I like the pixel idea, seeing the end product will be quite colourful. My memory is terrible, so this is also a good way to keep track and look back on the year. A helpful reminder of key events. Perhaps you should do a video at the end of the year and show us the finished product, KAY!!!
Jamie, I loved this video! I am also a planner/journaler. Loved seeing this and has given me some ideas for mine. Loved to see more of your planning and journaling content…even if it’s over on Everyday Magic. I would also buy your BG journal if you made one. I love stats and my digital apps but I also love analog and getting back to pen and paper! One thing you could add to the journal book is a 10 X 10 challenge or 5X5 or something like that. I know I see a lot people doing those. Thanks so much for this Board Gamey thing video! ❤
I love the idea of the board game bingo! I may see about trying to figure out some categories that would make sense for me. Woo-hoo! So glad you're doing an update to the top 100 BGG games!
💯 Yes to a Cozy Gull Studios gaming journal! Also, how about some digital gaming journal pages? We can get it sooner, have digital journal or we can print them out, that would be fun!
I love this idea! I would try this with my video games. Putting art on the things you track makes it engaging and encouraging to write it more. Like you did for the bookshelf of Boardgames and Books you drawn. You are very organized on your planner, I need to to follow your example 👍
I LOVE THIS VIDEO. More please! I’ve been wanting to do a boardgame journal for a while and had no idea where to start, so this is perfect! Please share More content like this or more page ideas! You’re the best ❤
This is so fun! I am going to add some of these spreads to my regular journal. It could be fun to make stickers of the grids of different trackers so people who don't want to have an extra journal for gaming could add it to their regular journals.
I love bullet journaling! Its been a year or two since I have created one but I really enjoy creating them. You inspired me to create one this year that includes board games and reading. I would love to see a board game bullet journal from Cozy Gull Studios. I bought Ethan a board game tracking journal this year and it was so hard to find a good one! ❤ -Ashley
so fun! I just keep a page in my reading journal that I drew a board game shelf on and whenever we play a game I draw it in and put a tick (and add if I play again), it will be a shelf of everything I played this year. I love drawing and journaling!! 🤩💗
I adore this video and the idea! I’m not normally a journaling girlie, but I have been keeping a makeshift gaming journal: wishlists, brief reviews, potential storage ideas, etc. I’d love to see a Cozy Gull dedicated gaming journal so I could have other ideas, though! I like it being analog/handwritten because I keep everything else digital, so having something analog would be a good way to step away from the screen and the bustle of life Thanks for this video! It dropped on my birthday, so I feel like it’s a sign to start journaling my games more 😅
The idea of a gaming journal is something I’d be massively into! I love how each of the pages could be similar to the last but you’ve been so creative in making each thing visualised differently which I’d love to have in something pre-done (Made by you!) :)
The pre-printed journal is a great idea! I recently started a reading journal since I don't have enough to justify setting up a bujo, the reading is scratching the 'itch'. I intend on finding gaming groups and a game journal would come in handy 👍
I wish I was a physically write stuff down person but I need the flexibility of a digital document that I can stick things in wherever I want because the thought of running out of pages or leaving way too many pages for something gives me anxiety 😂 Love both of these journals, so pretty! Can't wait for Cozy Gull 💜
Thank you for this video. Yes a board game journal would be great. Themes around holidays. Or Halloween/spooky games for a month or something like that. List for games to buy. I also like having some of the day-to-day stuff combined sounds nice as well. Maybe relabeling shelf of shame to something more positive positive. Like the Game Vault, shelf of opportunity, board game cellar. Enjoy stickers and ability to print game stickers too. Page for playing games u already have. Log a plan
I am here to say, I LOVE the dice Stegosaurus, so cute. Thank you for sharing, this is awesome. A 10x10 or something similar could be cool for the gaming journal.
I would definitely be interested in both a game journal, but also an everyday journal like the one you have. My wife really benefits from visual organization/positive reinforcement trinkets, and I have attempted to create stuff but... I am just not a great artist haha... and I love your style of art!
I think a shelf of shame sticker set would be great! Maybe grouped in five games on a self in different configurations. That way you can add as many or as little as you want.
Loved this video, bringing together two of my favourite things. Some suggestions would include a kickstarter/order tracker, review pages or “Game in Focus” section, most anticipates for the year and coming year.
I would love gaming journal! (And a movie one, actually) ... I love journals that are undated, so you can start whenever (like if you buy in 2025 but then don't use until 2027, lol) ... I'd love to see a customizable journal though, if possible (like some people need more shelf of opportunity pages, but then maybe they don't want a challenge page) so if the pages can somehow removed and added, that'd be really cool!
As a planner, I think you could release digital printable spreads. (Think something like Peanuts Planner Co), related to board games - scalable in different journal sizes?
That’s so therapeutic . I’d love to do something like that. However, having two kids I feel journaling would take away the little gaming time I can scrape from my days.
For Northwood! would be a really easy game to knock off your shelf of shame. There's a few minor visual bugs with the art on BGA but otherwise it's a solid implementation. It plays quick both digitally and in person, one of my most played games from last year because it was so easy to table.
I track games on the Sheets app. Played 32 different games IRL in January (31 days). Don't know if I can keep this pace for 365 days. I only own about 320 games. I include games that took longer than normal, but didn't finish due to learning or other circumstances. Also, I tend to play two- or three-handed simulated games, rather than the solo variants, to be familiar with the normal game play.
Easily one of my favorite videos. Super cozy… I’d love to see a “plan with me”. And, as always, thank you for touching on mental health! ❤️❤️
💜 thanks for watching!

For your everyday journal a few pages with special moments you had with your pets❤

I'm inspired to get back into journaling. I used to journal all the time but haven't in a while. Fun video!
I love this! A game journal is so fun

Absolutely looooooove analog planning! I’m such a nerd for a nice new notebook :)
You and me both

Loved this video, would love to see your journal creations..
I definitely would buy your gaming journal!! I prefer dots! I like purple :-)
My two favourite things - board games and jounaling - i love this video! ❤❤❤ I wanna copy your board game bingo lol

Haha my 11 year old son saw parts of your video and is now making his own gaming journal!!
Also love those stickers. Can't wait until I can order some
💜
Awesome theme for a video!

I love this! I too am someone who keeps analog lists of movies and games.
Yay!

Ok I haven't watched yet but BEST VIDEO EVER
I’ve never heard of bullet journaling. Interesting.
I track games on the Sheets app. Played 32 different games IRL in January (31 days). Don't know if I can keep this pace for 365 days. I only own about 320 games. I include games that took longer than normal, but didn't finish due to learning or other circumstances. Also, I tend to play two- or three-handed simulated games, rather than the solo variants, to be familiar with the normal game play.
A page that might be good is Games in a certain category. Worker placement, deck builder, etc…
Also we need someone to design good board game washi tape
SOOOOOOOO STOKED for this video!! ♥📔♥📔♥ 📔♥📔♥📔
