    I like your whole “don’t buy stickers, find things you already have”. Its still okay to buy sometimes, but I really want to be more mindful when i buy! So thats a nice idea. I also love how you don’t try to make everything perfect. That’s how I actually started to work on my journal, when I told myself ‘who cares if its not perfect as long as I have fun’. Sometimes I feel like the pressure of internet where everything needs to be ‘aesthetically pleasing’ might stop people from doing things

    What I like most about your videos is that you're not worried about being "camera perfect" -- your attitude of just setting your planner and having fun with it, just drawing a line even if uneven, or writing something without fancy lettering. Thanks!

      Hey Roxanne glad to meet you. I’m Keisha and I used to be a diva but she fell off due to my chronic illnesses. So I need to start journaling with all the pictures and cool stuff to make it exciting. I also want to get closer to God creatively as well. Hoping that in my search or quest to will find out who 50 year old Keisha is all about . In the meantime, I obsesss over everything because I don’t go anywhere…I’m a recluse. So feel free to contact me anytime.

    Always Love your enthusiasm! I get plenty of ideas as you go over things! I tend to set my reading goal low at the start of a year and increase/update it as I read more. I use the vertical months tracker for start / finish books ( I just write an S and/or F on the date line) on the 2pg monthlies I put the titles at the bottom notes and then on the date box I finished the book I'll put my stars rating.

    I totally agree about just buying from Hobonichi directly. Plus, I'm an accidental collector of their pens.
    For 2025, I'm using the cherry blossom weeks for my health, particularly tracking RA pain/meds and a personal size rings for everything else.
    Thank you for sharing!

    You can buy the refills for the hobonichi pen. It's the uniball and they sell refills that have the larger size writing. I think they sell them at jetpens probably other places as well.

    • @SeaweedKisses

    I am a passionate diary writer and for 2025 i thought it would be a good idea to change from an a5 notebook that gets heavy over the time to a smaller a6 . I chose a day free from hobonichi with some nice Covers... and now that i started it i realize that i dont like the small size. I dont know why, maybe the smaller size and the thin paper feels so different to the scribble that matters a5 with extra thik pages i had in 2024... so i bought three (...) scribble that matters in different colors and i love them :-( No i have to find another way to use the expensive hobonichi planners and covers i so enthousiasticcly bought.... but its all about the feeling. My head thinks i shall use the hobonichi a6 because its portable,its light weight, it has expensive covers.... but... my heart wants the scribble that matters books and decorate every single page with washis and stickers and all that childish stuff i like 😅

    Love your video ❤ Using Hobonichi cousin for journaling next year. Bought also Kinbor A5 to try out. I thought I might switch to Kinbor in 26. If I like kinbor. I think Hobonichi has become too expensive for me personally. But I'll keep it for at least another year. Instead of Hobonichi weeks, I bought the Kinbor weekly for next year for planning. It's the same style.

  • @ripley275
    @ripley275 Місяць тому +1

    I've corrected myself from using, not only Post-It notes, but scribbling onto any small piece of paper I have at hand....like pieces of mail that have my address torn off, but I haven't yet thrown out. I might remember I have to get an ingredient for dinner that night, then think, since I'm at the store, remember you needed more Ketchup, or you're low on whatever, so I'm almost out the door, so I jot down those extra thinks I need on a scrap paper. Notes to call somebody, notes that I made a hair appt, or don't forget to renew your license...yada yada yada, until it became quite obsessive! Then clean up time came and I had this massive stack of little notes to read thru, just torn pieces of paper, even my kids would say "there you go with your little notes all over the place". So I decided to get an A5 size notebook, which is basically, 5X7, and use it to write To Do Lists, I ended up with 4 all together. The first being my daily To Do List, one for my Bible notes and anything to do with Faith, even writing down UA-cam videos that I need to come back to, 3rd one for All Things Fountain Pen! Yes!, Pens that I've bought and where, Inks that I own and have put a sample on the the first pages of this notebook, with room for more, Fountain Pen websites that I would otherwise have forgotten about, and fellow FP lovers that show you what they've bought and where, and what works for them, how to utilize different pens, how to fill and clean them, or trouble shoot problems, and the 4th is for new recipes I've come across, recipes I've found that works for homemade cough syrup using natural ingredients, how to make liquid laundry detergent using Zote soap, or 'recipe' for natural, non toxic weed killer during the summer, not just food recipes. Now I'm so organized and much happier. I usually buy 4-10 packs off Amazon where I don't pay more than $5. each. The brands are different, but the pages are pretty thick, GSM of 100 usually and I can write with any FP with no bleed-thru, no feathering, utilizing both sides of the page. Most of my FP's are under $30. some are nice ones on sale for $10. My most expensive was a limited Edition TWSBI Eco for around $55. and I still love my Platinum Preppys because they write so beautifully....like butter! Love the Pilot line, or any Japanese, but also love Jinhao! Thank you for sharing your notebook ideas!
