Normally I am a secret viewer but for this video I had to speak! When I heard you say Scarlet was 7 years old...I couldn’t 🤦🏻♀️🤧. I have been watching your channel since BEFORE she was born which means I was 12-13 years old!!! I am 20! I feel like a distant cousin who has watched your family grow! Much love from your secret viewer!!
I don't think it's possible for you to have a video that is too long, I could watch and listen to you for much longer! Your original bullet journal video was the one that finally gave me the courage to start journaling. I watched all sorts of other videos on the subject but always felt intimidated. Your's allowed me to be at peace with imperfection. Thank you!
As someone who's trying to start her bullet journal process, this was incredibly helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing your journals. I'm definitely not someone who fits the picture perfect minimalist aesthetic, so the chaos was welcoming 💕
I really enjoyed this video. I bullet journal in a cheap composition notebook without any frills and it's refreshing to see someone else's bujo that isn't perfect.
I can’t believe you prefaced with it being utilitarian and not artsy! It’s so fun, vibrant, and VERY artsy! It may not be Michelangelo, but I got sooooo much inspiration! LOVE YOU!
I love peeking into your brain (and love your children’s art!!) and my notebooks actually look similar... just much less organized! I would really like to see Ryan’s journal if he’s okay with you showing it! 📚📝💜
I use my bullet journal for memories rather than how some people use it for like tracking sleep and stuff. I want to have them be more journal than planner that being said I still make monthly calendars just for knowing what I have to do/when I work but again I save memories like quotes I love, beautiful things i get or whatever. Time capsule rather than to-do list. I find that other bullet journal videos are so perfect and to-do/tracking focused whereas mine is... a mess but a mess of love. All the best memories all the love very similar to yours especially with all the “fails” where I tried to do the dot thingys and whatnot 🤗
What the heck, Marie, you're not awkward with your hand gestures, you're unique and very cute! Anyway, I adored this video. Ngl, you were the one who got me interested in bujo in the first place, and although I don't actually have a full one (the idea does seem overwhelming), I've incorporated many systems, tricks and ideas into my planning and note-taking, and that has helped me immensly both with organisation and, maybe somewhat less obviously, with mental health problems. But even taking that aside - as you've said, it's like your brain on paper, and who wouldn't love a trip into Marie's mind?? Not only am I nosy and clingy, but also you are such a ray of sunshine! In short, yay
Lots of great ideas... Totally enabling...Just spent $130ish on misc bullet journal goodies (and the little bed wood desk...because for some reason It would be so great to have at night)... I saw Kristi seem to have done a video of hers too... this will be my next stop.... And will start my own this week end... Fun adventure !!
I just love your journals, especially that they’re so well used by you and your little ones. You’re so creative and talented Marie! Your video has inspired me to start my own bullet journal and make time to record life’s loves and special moments. Thank you so much for sharing these with us 💖📒xx
This made me feel way better about my mess of a bullet journal. I mostly use mine to keep track of weekly to-do/ne lists (combination of things that i need to do and have done in that week) and separate lists for all of my homework and school stuffs. Since it is the end of the term for each week there has been decreased amounts of color, and increased amounts of everything juat being written in pencil.
I love boho berry for inspiration. Can't wait to see your new bullet journal and how Ryan's looks. I'm always on the look out for bujo supplies, please do a quick show and tell in your next bujo video. Sending love to you and your family!
I started a bujo in 2016 but only kept it up for like 3 months :( This makes me want to start again though! I journaled in mine every night and it was really cathartic and good to get my thoughts down. Your chicken scratch is encouraging and a good reminder that it doesn’t have to be perfect, it’s all about being useful and fun!
This reminded me that I left my bullet journal at work and March starts tomorrow! Also, mine is like yours. Some pages look pretty and colorful and then other pages a literally just lists. Depends on the time I have really. It is greatly cathartic though. I agree!
oh wow I thought I could get into bullet journaling but watching this video gave me anxiety so I definitely can't lol! the amount of organization and detail is insane and i commend you!!
This is my second time watching this video. Thanks for the updated bullet journal video. You’ve really helped me organize my life by sharing your journal. Now I’m about to go back to the video.
On your next bullet journal video, could you please actually show us how to do some of those grids and pages that you do? I'd love to be able to see that! Can't wait for your live today!!!
This is so inspiring for creating a bullet journal! Quotes from my kids is definitely my jam, I always post on Facebook but I’d much rather have it off technology.
Got a bujo for Christmas but whenever I search spreads online to recreate I get down on myself and wimp out...don’t know why. Cool to see all your hits & misses though! Nice to be reminded that journaling isn’t a beauty contest but what you make of it💁🏻💁🏻
I’m so excited you did this video! I love my bullet journal but I find myself trying to keep it all pretty, instead of using it as a memory tracker like I really want....so thank you so much for showing us your brain...and reminding me it doesn’t matter and I need to just write it down! I would love to see your favorite pages in your journal! I follow Amanda RachLee and her journal is beautiful...she’s a great artist...she sparks my creative side! Thank you for sharing...love you and your channel!
I love ur little doodles and fancy writing. Just wish I was that creative 2 b able 2 do that. A bullet journal kinda intimidates me a little bit😐 but enjoy watching u go through urs😊. Xxx
Thank you!! I've been waiting for this video. Before bullet journal is invented, I have a journal with draw out calendars, lots of stuff I collected and journaling in it. Your journal reminds me of that and I need to do that again. I would start making some of your collection pages too. Love to see Ryan's journal please.
This was great! My bujo looks exactly like yours, it's a mess and I love it! One thing that would be interesting is how you're liking your new book vs. the LT books, and what your ideal book setup would be.
I just started my bullet journal in February. Mine is super duper simple. I don’t have a creative bone in my body. I always felt like planners had to many things in them that I never used. Bullet journaling allows me to make my own planner.
I loved this so much. It was very helpful and made me miss my bullet journal. I like the fact that you can always come back to it after some time passed, without wasting any pages :) I wouldn't mind if you did monthly flip throughs :) This was truly inspiring and I already made notes of things to try in my bullet journal.
I LOVE your bullet journal. You're by far the most inspiring bullet journaler for me, just because yours isn't perfect or artistic.. I often get intimated by all the instagram friendly pictures and perfect lines. I hope this makes sense. x
I've heard about bullet journals but I had no idea what they really were! This seems like so much fun, and I love yours by the way! I may just have to give this a try! : )
I absolutely loved it! Definitely love the messy, But still super organized look, gonna steal some spread ideas! As always when you do something you do it so amazingly!
I loved this little sneak peak into your bullet journal brain-space! I'm really looking forward to your next video about your current set up! I was searching for a new journal on amazon a few weeks ago, and I stumbled across the same Lemome one (I even double-checked just now to make sure it was the same I thought it was), but I didn't know anyone who had tried it, so I didn't end up buying it then. I think I might now though, since you seemed to indicate that you're liking it!
TheWorldAccordingtoEmma all time favorite character from anything ever! I feel like my brain and Anne’s are the same sometimes.....even though she is fictional 😂
I loved this so much! I love bullet journaling and I don’t use r nearly as much as I would like. But I love how it’s helping me keep memories and all the stickers I get to use!
Love this!!! I like boho berry and you! I'm going away from this video feeling less stressed about making my bujo pretty and excited to make it more me! ❤️ i would love to see more of what you track and what you feel is important to track as a mum.
Hi Marie! I would love to see Ryan’s bullet journal in the next video!! I’m trying to convert my fiancé to bullet journaling but he’s hung up on the Pinterest pretty versions ;)
I love your bujo it's so inspirational and gave me loads of ideas. I would love to see more bujo videos from you I'm still new to it all and only use a notebook before I invest to see if it's for me. Laura xx
Moana from awestruck was you saying the tub called to you like the ocean called to her. You sang a bit, it was funny, I’m not a stalker it was just really funny so it stuck in my head.
I started keeping a bullet journal last August and I'm in love. I like it a lot for school (currently a freshman in college) and keeping track of assignments and I love that I can customize it to be exactly what I need, which you can't do as much with a planner that you buy. I like to watch Caitlin's Corner and AmandaRachLee here on youtube for inspiration and ideas
I just opened my notebook to set it up for March & realized that the last time I wrote in it was... to set it up for February. Whoops! I'm trying weekly to-do lists this month because I consistently fail to keep up with dailies.
It’s so helpful seeing a flip through with ooops and things left unfinished. I have watched so many videos and really want to start but I just dread the idea of messing up a brand new book lol perfectionist much?! Anyway thanks for the video and renewed inspiration ❤️🐓🌸
this is so relatable. thank you for this video! I love my bujo! I have to keep reminding people bujos dont need to be fancy/creative! mine is far from- i have no lettering ability, and im okay with that 😊
I keep wanting to try bullet journaling, but I am such a perfectionist that I think it would be more frustrating than cathartic. I do need to figure out some way to work out a schedule for myself. At the moment, I work three days a week as a nurse and then have days off in between, but its hard not really having a schedule on my days off. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty to do with chores, working on a Bachelor's degree, and other parts of daily living, but I find it hard to be motivated and have the procrastinator's thought of, "I have all the time in the world!" I have been regular journaling a little bit and actually keeping up with it. Maybe that's my first step to a bullet journal :)
I've been bullet-journaling for about a year and a half now, and I'm very much a perfectionist as well, but my bullet journal actually helped me break that obsessive desire for perfection! I can't quite explain it, and I'm sure it doesn't work this way for everyone, but somehow after a while it worked. Maybe it was because I truly did not have time to make everything perfect and measured and detailed and artistic, which for a while was frustrating but then I just had to settle with the more minimalist and functional style rather than being so meticulous. So perhaps I was forced into non-perfection! And now, I don't even use a ruler to draw straight lines in my journal. Ridiculous.
Maybe you could use some chosen bujo systems in a regular planner? Or instead of making full spreads, just make space for to-do lists (general and for specific days) in a notebook? Just some ideas :)
This is SOOOO visually appealing to me I can’t even! Lol. Every time I attempt something like this I feel like I put things in dumb places and don’t like it and get frustrated (and lazy) and give up. But I’m gonna give it another go because...😍 and it speaks to my crafty side that I am so rarely in touch with anymore! But my question is do you figure out what is going on what page beforehand? Like do you put all of the months in when you start each book or do you just fill it as you go? Like when a month ends do you draw the calendar page for the next one and just add whatever else you want to do that month as you decide you want it? That probably didn’t even make sense..🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️😂 but in any case, these are beautiful and inspiring! 😍
Yes would love to see Ryan's (if he's okay with it) because although you may think yours is chicken scratch it is much prettier than I could ever do haha. I love these types of videos and I can't wait to see yours from this year!
I don't have kids yet, but I totally try to save the bulletins from church to keep the words to songs in the hopes of one day singing them to my kids. I can tell you right now that I do not actually know where any of said bulletins are, but it's the same thought right? It was fun to hear that someone else does that too. :)
I'm glad I clicked the notification button because this didn't show up in my subscriptions even though I'm still subscribed to you! That's very odd. Anyway, I really like seeing your bullet journal, I keep one as well but I'm not very good with writing in it every week. But it's nice to see some inspiration!
I’ve seriously been considering bullet journaling because I’m starting a business and I think it would be a great way to keep track of client information and appointments. I also like the dots cause I will need to do a lot of sketch maps and dots are helpful to scale. Mine would not be pretty or flowered but I think it would be useful.
This is so awesome. I need to pause and take screenshots so I can incorporate some of your spreads into my BuJo! I am single with no kids, so a lot of the family stuff is not as helpful for me personally, but I would love a more detailed walk through of your current UA-cam spreads and your health/food/21 day fix spreads as I would love to incorporate both of those things into my BuJo. Also, do you do anything with Bible study or prayer lists in your BuJo? Thanks for another great video, I am so glad I found your channel!
I keep my prayer journal separate from my bujo because I like to see what God is doing all in one place. Prayers asked and answered, studies and notes all go in their own little notebook. I did have them in my bujo at one point and they just got lost.
Your journals are so cute. I know you say it's mostly chicken scratch but I think it looks nice. My handwriting is not very neat at all so if I tried it would end up being a complete mess
This inspired me to start my Bujo again. I’ve been bujo lazy and i am happily making my March spread. Just watch Amanda Rach Lee’s video for inspiration.
Because I feel like it, I'm gonna put a (very incomplete) list of some great UA-cam bullet journalers! For those of you who are intrigued in bullet journaling from this video and want some inspiration to start your own: Boho Berry Sunshine & Stationery planningwithkay AmandaRachLee alexandra plans studyign
I have nothing that I would need a bullet journal for. I use my phone for my calendar and google keep for little notes that I delete when I'm done with them. The only thing I actually keep on paper is the list of books I've read each year and the list of books I want to read. Maybe I'll add pages for book release dates and films I want to see. But I prefer to have to do lists and shopping lists on my phone.
Also, the Sadie monthly doodles are the absolute cutest! Lovely style! I hope whenever you get to make the other ones, you'll show them to us, too :) (maybe on instagram if they don't make it to a video...?) Btw, the "chicken scratch" had me very confused for a minute there, I thought you meant your own chickens literally scratched at your journal and I couldn't see it (it's not THAT far-fetched if your bunny chewed on the other one right) lol Which is funny also because there's an idiom with the very same imagery for the very same thing in my native Polish, I just thought of your lady birds first...
I started bullet journaling after I saw your Top 5 video! I can't thank you enough, because I LOVE it!! I would love to know why you chose a new journal brand this year. I'm currently in an LT, but am thinking about switching it up once it's full.
Do you listen to "The Lazy Genius Podcast?" I feel like you would love it and the host, Kendra, is great. She gives such great explanations to bullet journaling. (I find the process to intimidating, and but she simplifies them.)
This is awesome! I got my first bullet journal for Christmas, and unfortunately, I have already let February slip completely out of 2018. I’m wondering how you chose what to include and what not to include? Did you preplan what you wanted the whole book to look like or just do it one page at a time?
Hello lovely lady! I would love to have a list of 'sections' you have for each month and then how many pages you devote to that and how you go about creating them either in a simplistic way or cutesie fancy way....if ya get me. I'm a dyslexic and recovering perfectionists (ha!) so I strive for organisation and simpicity but LOVE the cute part so I'm torn to see how this could work for me (although I would love for it to work for me). Any tips/ tricks or future videos on this would be fab! Huge love and blessings
I love this! Been meaning to look up bullet journaling since I first heard you mention it. Looks so cathartic but how do you manage to do it?! Do you do it every day or find yourself retrospectively filling bits in? X
Normally I am a secret viewer but for this video I had to speak! When I heard you say Scarlet was 7 years old...I couldn’t 🤦🏻♀️🤧. I have been watching your channel since BEFORE she was born which means I was 12-13 years old!!! I am 20! I feel like a distant cousin who has watched your family grow! Much love from your secret viewer!!
I don't think it's possible for you to have a video that is too long, I could watch and listen to you for much longer!

I love how yours isn't all doodles and whatnot! I am not one to doodle or anything so this is refreshing! thank Marie!
Love your bullet journals and how they are the perfect mix of you and pretty and fun notes and functionality. Can’t wait to see the next one!
I really enjoyed this video. I bullet journal in a cheap composition notebook without any frills and it's refreshing to see someone else's bujo that isn't perfect.
I can’t believe you prefaced with it being utilitarian and not artsy! It’s so fun, vibrant, and VERY artsy! It may not be Michelangelo, but I got sooooo much inspiration! LOVE YOU!
Love love love this video. I started bullet journaling, and got away from it and didn’t feel like I could pick back up. And now I do! Thanks Marie!
I love peeking into your brain (and love your children’s art!!) and my notebooks actually look similar... just much less organized! I would really like to see Ryan’s journal if he’s okay with you showing it! 📚📝💜
I use my bullet journal for memories rather than how some people use it for like tracking sleep and stuff.

In short, yay
You inspired me to bullet journal Marie! I'm 3 months in and fill it in at least once a day it's like a therapy ❤
I think your bullet journal is still lovely. Mine is way more chicken scratch and I abandoned it. Now I just carry my planner everywhere I go.
So relaxing! Can't believe 16 mins just flew buy 😊
Lots of great ideas... Totally enabling...Just spent $130ish on misc bullet journal goodies (and the little bed wood desk...because for some reason It would be so great to have at night)...
I saw Kristi seem to have done a video of hers too... this will be my next stop.... And will start my own this week end...
Fun adventure !!
This is so fun! For myself, I wouldn’t enjoy it. I would just be overwhelmed. But I still love videos like this. Loved Kristis too.
This makes me feel so much better about my chicken scratch, here-and-there, abandoned spread bujo! Thank you for sharing!!
I just love your journals, especially that they’re so well used by you and your little ones. You’re so creative and talented Marie! Your video has inspired me to start my own bullet journal and make time to record life’s loves and special moments. Thank you so much for sharing these with us 💖📒xx
Sunday morning is one of my favourites!
I love your bullet journals!!!
This was amazing!! You should do way more of these because this is how I bujo and you've given me some great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
I love the way you use your Bullet Journal. Thank you for sharing the imperfect pages!
This made me feel way better about my mess of a bullet journal.
I mostly use mine to keep track of weekly to-do/ne lists (combination of things that i need to do and have done in that week) and separate lists for all of my homework and school stuffs.

I've heard about bullet journals but I had no idea what they really were! This seems like so much fun, and I love yours by the way! I may just have to give this a try! : )
yes to Ry s bullet jounal!
I love a good bullet journal flip through!! You do a few things that I think I’m going to start incorporating into my bujo. 😊
I love this video so much! ❤️ Maybe in the future you could do a video of setting up your monthly or weekly pages?! 📚🖊🖋
It's nice to see a journal that isn't so perfect, it makes it seem so much less intimidating to make one.
I absolutely loved it! Definitely love the messy,
But still super organized look, gonna steal some spread ideas! As always when you do something you do it so amazingly!

You got me into bullet journal, I fell down the bujo hole!!! I'd love to see your bujo supplies.
Oh you gave me soo many good ideas! I'm kinda lost with doing my bullet journal but this was very helpful :) thanks for sharing Marie!
I just had to share that "Me! I am an Anne of Green Gables millennial! 🙋🏻♀️" Its my all time favorite book and series.
TheWorldAccordingtoEmma all time favorite character from anything ever! I feel like my brain and Anne’s are the same sometimes.....even though she is fictional 😂
I love Anne of Green Gables so much I actually named my daughter Anne (with an E of course and I totally correct people if they spell it wrong)💕
Megan Mills oh I will definitely be using the name if I have a girl!
Same here!!
Your bullet journals are beautiful!
I loved this so much! I love bullet journaling and I don’t use r nearly as much as I would like. But I love how it’s helping me keep memories and all the stickers I get to use!

This was insanely helpful! I'd really like to start my own but didn't know where to start. Thanks Marie 🌸
Loved this video!! It’s inspired me to start up my bullet journal again. Thank you Marie!!xxx
I've never been so excited.
Yay about to do my week one March spread! You were my inspiration!
Hi Marie!
I would love to see Ryan’s bullet journal in the next video!! I’m trying to convert my fiancé to bullet journaling but he’s hung up on the Pinterest pretty versions ;)
I love your bujo it's so inspirational and gave me loads of ideas. I would love to see more bujo videos from you I'm still new to it all and only use a notebook before I invest to see if it's for me. Laura xx
you are definitely an artist!!
Yay, I was looking forward to this video so much! Love your bullet journals, gave me lots of ideas for mine, thanks! xx
Moana from awestruck was you saying the tub called to you like the ocean called to her. You sang a bit, it was funny, I’m not a stalker it was just really funny so it stuck in my head.
I love Cindy Guentert-Baldo because she’s real, and she swears. I love your bujo and would love to see Ryan’s!!!

Thanks for this! I love my bull. It's therapy!
Yay! I'm so looking forward to seeing this. I've been needing bujo inspiration!
I just opened my notebook to set it up for March & realized that the last time I wrote in it was... to set it up for February. Whoops! I'm trying weekly to-do lists this month because I consistently fail to keep up with dailies.
I need to be this organised... between a diary, a gmail calendar and a work calendar my life is all over the place...
It’s so helpful seeing a flip through with ooops and things left unfinished. I have watched so many videos and really want to start but I just dread the idea of messing up a brand new book lol perfectionist much?! Anyway thanks for the video and renewed inspiration ❤️🐓🌸
i would really like to take a peek at ryan's bullet journal too! it makes it less daunting too see ones that don't have all the pretty drawings
this is so relatable. thank you for this video! I love my bujo! I have to keep reminding people bujos dont need to be fancy/creative! mine is far from- i have no lettering ability, and im okay with that 😊

I can't quite explain it, and I'm sure it doesn't work this way for everyone, but somehow after a while it worked. Maybe it was because I truly did not have time to make everything perfect and measured and detailed and artistic, which for a while was frustrating but then I just had to settle with the more minimalist and functional style rather than being so meticulous. So perhaps I was forced into non-perfection! And now, I don't even use a ruler to draw straight lines in my journal. Ridiculous.
Maybe you could use some chosen bujo systems in a regular planner? Or instead of making full spreads, just make space for to-do lists (general and for specific days) in a notebook? Just some ideas :)
That’s what is making me nervous to try to! I bit the bullet and ordered one though.
This is SOOOO visually appealing to me I can’t even! Lol. Every time I attempt something like this I feel like I put things in dumb places and don’t like it and get frustrated (and lazy) and give up. But I’m gonna give it another go because...😍 and it speaks to my crafty side that I am so rarely in touch with anymore! But my question is do you figure out what is going on what page beforehand? Like do you put all of the months in when you start each book or do you just fill it as you go? Like when a month ends do you draw the calendar page for the next one and just add whatever else you want to do that month as you decide you want it? That probably didn’t even make sense..🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️😂 but in any case, these are beautiful and inspiring! 😍
Scarlet's drawing is much better at 5 than mine is at 59😳 So not cup of craft for me!! So f....... jealous,in a nice way!!
Yes would love to see Ryan's (if he's okay with it) because although you may think yours is chicken scratch it is much prettier than I could ever do haha. I love these types of videos and I can't wait to see yours from this year!
I don't have kids yet, but I totally try to save the bulletins from church to keep the words to songs in the hopes of one day singing them to my kids. I can tell you right now that I do not actually know where any of said bulletins are, but it's the same thought right? It was fun to hear that someone else does that too. :)
I'm glad I clicked the notification button because this didn't show up in my subscriptions even though I'm still subscribed to you! That's very odd. Anyway, I really like seeing your bullet journal, I keep one as well but I'm not very good with writing in it every week. But it's nice to see some inspiration!
I've decided to do regular journaling instead of bullet journaling. I do love watching these videos. I just think a writing journal works best for me.
Go deeper into it! I liked when you actually said the memories that happened ❤️
Lol Marie! You make me laugh so hard some times... “Somebody said a thing so I wrote it down.” 😆 You sounds just like me. Loved this video!
I’ve seriously been considering bullet journaling because I’m starting a business and I think it would be a great way to keep track of client information and appointments. I also like the dots cause I will need to do a lot of sketch maps and dots are helpful to scale. Mine would not be pretty or flowered but I think it would be useful.
My journal is being delivered tomorrow! I have wanted to start for a while, even though its intimidating but I guess I just have to start somewhere
This is so awesome. I need to pause and take screenshots so I can incorporate some of your spreads into my BuJo! I am single with no kids, so a lot of the family stuff is not as helpful for me personally, but I would love a more detailed walk through of your current UA-cam spreads and your health/food/21 day fix spreads as I would love to incorporate both of those things into my BuJo. Also, do you do anything with Bible study or prayer lists in your BuJo? Thanks for another great video, I am so glad I found your channel!
I keep my prayer journal separate from my bujo because I like to see what God is doing all in one place. Prayers asked and answered, studies and notes all go in their own little notebook. I did have them in my bujo at one point and they just got lost.
Your journals are so cute. I know you say it's mostly chicken scratch but I think it looks nice. My handwriting is not very neat at all so if I tried it would end up being a complete mess
This inspired me to start my Bujo again. I’ve been bujo lazy and i am happily making my March spread. Just watch Amanda Rach Lee’s video for inspiration.
I would love to see Ryan's bujo!
Because I feel like it, I'm gonna put a (very incomplete) list of some great UA-cam bullet journalers! For those of you who are intrigued in bullet journaling from this video and want some inspiration to start your own:

Just checked out Satisfied in You and may have bawled. I needed that word tonight. Thanks for sharing. And love the bujo...no surprise there!
I have nothing that I would need a bullet journal for. I use my phone for my calendar and google keep for little notes that I delete when I'm done with them. The only thing I actually keep on paper is the list of books I've read each year and the list of books I want to read. Maybe I'll add pages for book release dates and films I want to see. But I prefer to have to do lists and shopping lists on my phone.
Also, the Sadie monthly doodles are the absolute cutest! Lovely style! I hope whenever you get to make the other ones, you'll show them to us, too :) (maybe on instagram if they don't make it to a video...?)
Btw, the "chicken scratch" had me very confused for a minute there, I thought you meant your own chickens literally scratched at your journal and I couldn't see it (it's not THAT far-fetched if your bunny chewed on the other one right) lol Which is funny also because there's an idiom with the very same imagery for the very same thing in my native Polish, I just thought of your lady birds first...
I started bullet journaling after I saw your Top 5 video! I can't thank you enough, because I LOVE it!! I would love to know why you chose a new journal brand this year. I'm currently in an LT, but am thinking about switching it up once it's full.
Thicker paper is really the only reason. I don't love the suede feel on the outside.
Thanks! I've been looking at the Rhodia or the Scribbles That Matter journals...
Oh I think you may have converted me... but I think I might spend to much time trying to organise it in my head 😂 I need a how to video!
Do you listen to "The Lazy Genius Podcast?" I feel like you would love it and the host, Kendra, is great. She gives such great explanations to bullet journaling. (I find the process to intimidating, and but she simplifies them.)
This is awesome! I got my first bullet journal for Christmas, and unfortunately, I have already let February slip completely out of 2018. I’m wondering how you chose what to include and what not to include? Did you preplan what you wanted the whole book to look like or just do it one page at a time?
Yay for awkward hands with lovely nail polish 😘
Hello lovely lady! I would love to have a list of 'sections' you have for each month and then how many pages you devote to that and how you go about creating them either in a simplistic way or cutesie fancy way....if ya get me. I'm a dyslexic and recovering perfectionists (ha!) so I strive for organisation and simpicity but LOVE the cute part so I'm torn to see how this could work for me (although I would love for it to work for me). Any tips/ tricks or future videos on this would be fab!
Huge love and blessings
I love this! Been meaning to look up bullet journaling since I first heard you mention it. Looks so cathartic but how do you manage to do it?! Do you do it every day or find yourself retrospectively filling bits in? X
I fill out my monthly spread once a month, add in blank weeklies and then fill those in daily. I'll try and do a plan with me soon!
Fried egg... drugs “fry” your brain... get it... lol
