I actually really enjoy seeing flip throughs where we see that you're not perfect, either. Sometimes it's so overwhelming to see people with endlessly perfect looking planners and seeing blank spaces and places where you scaled way back because of life really reduces the pressure to keep my own journal endlessly beautiful.
My journals/planners are a reflection of my life. And looking back on this someday I will know I either fell out of love with the book or was just too busy too finish it. Perfection is in the eye of the beholder and to me these books are still perfect in their own way :)
I think if I was you, I would grap a nice pen and simply rewrite the notes you added with a pencil and call it a day. When you feel like adding a few more notes, fine. When you don‘t want to add anything else, also fine. Who knows what it might be good for, when you flip through this plannner 10 years from now. I remember I wrote a diary when I was about 13. It was the middle of puberty, I had some false friends, it was a tough time. Some of these pages look really said. But when I flip through these pages, there are some things that make me laugh. Some that are sad, but it also reminds me how much I have changed since then. So keep in mind your pages represent you, they are authentic and it was the best you could do at this time. ❤
Happy New Year!! The jar stickers are from a PET tape by London Gifties! She's currently on break for Holiday but you can sign up for her newsletter for when she opens back up www.londongifties.com 😊
What a lovely organized planner. Thanks for sharing. I tried doing detailed planners years ago but they never worked for me. I just do my todo list and that's about it.
I figured you were sort of "over" the SICP once your Hobonichi order arrived. I think you still did great with it, especially doing your ink swatches in the dailies and your monthly "currently inked" lists. The holidays are always busy times and you did a LOT of setup videos for your 2025 planners. Excited to see how the new year goes.
I loved seeing how you switched up the weeklies to a dashboard. I may try something similar with mine. I tend to compartmentalize my days into different categories, so a timeline method has never really worked well for me.
Hi! Your lettering is so beautiful!! Also, after seeing your 2024 planner setups, it’s cool to see how you actually used the planner. Thank you for sharing it with us! I’m so sorry about your grandmother…❤❤❤
My Lauren Phelps foiling rubbed off within the first month of use and the tightness of the plastic didn’t allow the cover to expand with the book so it pretty much ripped my leather cover off the entirety of my bound book. Has completely turned me off from using any plastic clear cover in the future!
Happy new year! When you showed your year at a glance in the beginning I was looking at the color placement of the dots and realized you had no red dots in November which is funny because I use this spread in the same way and I had the exact same placement. Nothing in November and started the first of December. I’ve been tracking this way for 2 years and that’s the first time I’ve skipped a whole calendar month. I thought it was odd when it happened to me, but seeing that it also happened to you on the exact same days is making me wonder about unseen forces like the tide or the moon haha 😂
Chaos will rule in 2025. Keep doing what you are doing. It is nice and meaningful. Share as you see fit but there is nothing wrong with privacy. Post it notes are a thing. Use them as online protection. Thank you.

That is a really good idea! I may go back and do that :)
Thanks so much for sharing this with us. It's been lovely so see page by page and the ups and downs of journalling ❤❤
Thank you so much!
I’m with you on undated - works fine for journaling, but for planning or anything I want to do consistently, I *need* the dates
Yes!
Happy New Year! 🎉 I love the mason jar stickers you used with the scenes inside them! There’s one at 18:52. Where are they from?! They’re beautiful!

Thank you! I am happy with what I did with it, but I am already so content with the Hobonichi back in my hands haha
i love love love these kinds of videos sm!! this inspired me to sit down today and start my own journey since my mom gifted me a planner from burga 🫶🥹
That’s so awesome! I love seeing people get inspired and start their planning journey! ❤️️

It has worked really well for me for sure!

I’m so sorry to hear that! I’ve not had that experience but I hope you can find an alternative!
I have a bunch of empty pages in mine this year too. (Especially in November. November was a shitty month.) Oh well, on to a new year.
Yes! On to the new year! 😊
March 18: You is kind. You is smart. You is important.
so excited for this video !! thanks for posting
Happy new year!!

That is so weird! I found it really odd that I missed that month too haha. Maybe there was a strong moon or something 😂
Hi, where do you get your cover? I've been searching for a clear cover with pockets and can't seem to find them
What marker are you using for the headers on those quarterly pages? Looks great (: I also love those realistic people stickers ahhh!
I love the Pentel Sign Brush pens :)
