Ok, so today, we have not one, BUT TWO, youtube videos up. They are very different, the first is the standard journal with me + the hobonichi unboxing and testing. While the second, is a chatty video where I answer some questions and also talk about my notebooks (before getting the hobonichi). Anyway, choose whichever you feel most tuned with, or if you can, watch both. ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

Thank you!

Today’s Cozy & Witchy Journaling Nook 🎵🌻🔥

Today I’m really tired. I didn’t sleep much at all last night. I’m trying to cope with the depression that comes with debilitating exhaustion from no sleep and narcolepsy. So far I’ve been successful, but I’ll admit it is hard to accept that I can’t do the things I normally do in a day (today). I had all kinds of plans, but I canceled them. Thankfully, my friend Daisy cheered me up! She apparently is sending a small gift to me that will arrive on Sunday! I’m so excited! It’s nice to have something to look forward to.

A quick reminder that the bullet journal method was designed as a disability tool by a person with ADD. It's meant to be practical, and can be helpful especially to neurodivergent folks. Don't let the Instagram pictures or grind culture make you believe you cannot use it. The method will not work for everyone of course, but it is largely what you make of it.

✏️ what no one tells you about how to journal 📒

i was sick of all the "how to journal" content out there recycling the same advice that sounds great but doesn't always work in the reality of daily life. you're welcome 😏 (also low-key a shitpost, but there are nuggets of wisdom in here, i promise 😇)

✍️ what to journal about ✍️

sure, you could journal about self development and treat your diary like your therapist, OR you could write about:

the pettiest grudge you're still holding onto from elementary school 😤

all the gossip about other people's lives that you have Strong Opinions™️ about, but you're a good person, so what goes in the journal, stays in the journal 🤫

all the witty comebacks you never say to people's faces because you're a sensible, non-confrontational person, but also you didn't think of it until later 🙃

the possibilities are endless, let your imagination run wild, and/or feel free to contact the blogger for more 🤭

🚫 when NOT to journal 🚫

this is just as, if not more, important as when to journal.

nothing to say — forget morning pages, i can barely string together a coherent greeting before lunch. also, a whole night's sleep is like a total memory wipe, so i have nothing to write about 🤷‍♀️ and don't listen to whoever says to just write "i have nothing to write about" because if you start enough entries with that, you're gonna begin to feel there's no point BUT THERE IS!! just not right now. and that's okay ☺️

too often — personally, i think it's important not to make journaling your one source of clarity 🔮 continue to think things through in your mind, confide in people you trust, and have moments (in nature, perhaps) that simply can't be transcribed to words 🌼

not feeling it — if you're too tired OR feel fulfilled and clear-headed enough about your day, don't make journaling a chore you have to do no matter what. if that means you don't journal everyday, then so be it 🌝

so when do you journal? in general, when doing so would add something to your day ☀️ whether that's peace, humor, gratitude, or something else.

🎁 materials 🎁

now for the fun part: let's go to the stationery store! 🛒

✒️ GET A PEN THAT WRITES SMOOTHLY! you are literally lowering the physical resistance that's keeping you from journaling, trust me it works. also pencils suck.

🔐 get a journal with a band, lock, clasp, button, etc. — just because it's fun, but it has the added benefit of securing your intellectual property(?)

have a separate journal for writing thoughts vs. schedules vs. todos vs. collections (TBR lists, recipes, etc.) — beats having to make and maintain a whole index to keep it all organized in just one (1) notebook 😵‍💫

🌸 stickers — are a pretty substitute for correction pens 😻 (in theory, but i have yet to use all the washi tape i bought 😅)

or just journal digitally, idgaf, do what works for you, okay? 😇

making a new yearly bullet journal spread is serious business (I drew 72 mini calendar grids and my hand cramped)

Commonplace on the secret and dark history of Venice in the plague time. Most of this information you can find on ‘Atlas Obscura’ and the ‘Walks’ website.

Did you know, that the places with high pavement in the city squares, often are that way due to the pile of bodies from plague times buried under it? 💀🪦
