This is a useful set up! I’m going to use a lot of this for a film journal :)

I have really enjoyed your reading journal videos. I have watched both of your Reading Journal setup videos and wondered why you switched from 8x8” Archer & Olive journal to a Sterling Ink journal for your book journal.

Loved seeing this reading journal. This felt very manageable. I love the Sterling Ink notebooks, especially as the pages get filled. I noticed you mentioned being in DC and wanting a book club. I'd check the local independent bookstores, depending on where you are. I know Arlington's One More Pages has a couple of book clubs, but I assume others do too. Also check your library system.

Very cool set up! My problem with reading notes is that I DNF so many dang books so it's annoying when I take pages and pages of notes and then suddenly lose interest in the book so I feel like I wasted my time. But if I don't take notes, I risk not having a clue what's going on in the book, so I have to take notes.

You can hate the people but love their art

I have rewatched this a few times this morning . Love your ideas! Setting up the next Weeks is less stressful now.. thank you ❤

Great video😊 I use this planner as a catch all planner and I love how it can hold everything I need but after seing your video Im actually considering a weeks on the side😂 A tip for the tracker- page is I too use that page as a tracker but the one you were wondering about i allso use as a tracker but on more of a gliding scale combo type….. so I write the date horizontally on the bottom with 1-9 on the left for the amount of hours i sleep, and a 1_5 on the left as a gliding scale for example for the level of energy and health issues etc. I wish I could have shared a picture here in the comments but it wont let me, but if you watch one of my flip through videos you can see me explaining it in there❤ i hope you have an awsome weekend😊

I know this was a while ago but for the extra quarterly pages you could write down the books you read on the left and then on the right you can track how many pages you read, how many hours you read, whether you read physical Kindle or audible... I think its such a fun way to keep up with that kind of thing! Or if you're not a huge reader you could always keep up with your workouts and your health stats on the left and then on the right side you could keep up with your steps your sleep, etc. you can do graphs loke some people do... It always ends up looking awesome

What’s the link for the pen you’re using at 8:20 🤩

I feel like we have very similar reading philosophies and interests. Spotted some of my favs highly rated and it always makes me so happy when ppl love the same books I do 🤗

A lovely set up for all us readers to see

I'm always so excited to see someone's minimal reading journal that's still functional and fun! Love your take on it ❤

I loved your set up! Very clean and useful

As I have said before, your writing is perfection! Always look forward to a video from you. We have similar reading tastes when it comes to non-fiction books. Have you read Women, Race and Class by Angela Davis? Very good.

Love this! I teach high school English and taught The Bluest Eye- I know there was controversy at a local high school and of course a Mormon student found issue with it hahaha. I'll have to check out the Atlantic article! thanks for the recommendation

I love this. And I too started with the Common Planner at the beginning of the year but I realized I missed my hobonichi. I thought I would want the pages undated but for me I need the dated pages. So I picked up the hobonichi Spring and I am now at planner bliss. Back in my fav planner. I hope your year in the hobonichi will go well.

What is the ink on #2?! It's so pretty

I was so happy when I saw a new video from you :) This looks great! Thinking the A5 Common Planner might work best for you. I love mine. Your penmanship is the best.

I call your leather planner (shown on the short video) as "personnal organizer". I like this model with pen.

Love the Sterling inks Nn1 & N2 sizes, taking away the quote and the pages going to the edge of the notebook makes such a huge difference in terms of functional space! Using my hobo weeks as more of a checklist/mental health working great. My NI (standard TN) is more of a work focused planner with meeting notes, continuing education notes, etc. never thought a TN would be good for me but it’s perfect

Love your setup with the separate notebooks. Is your day per page book also Sterling Ink?

I love your videos, your handwriting, your reading planner, pretty much everything 🤣 I was thinking of a B6 for next year but now I'm thinking I might miss the A5 size. Did you think about the A5 Common Planner?

14:32 Just FYI. It’s bigger than the sneaker weeks but not the non-sneaker version. It’s the same size as the other weeks planners.

My main planner is a W222 A5 all in one. But I use it similarly on the dailies to your standard and love it. I have a standard EDC right now and use a Stalogy for my dailies paired with a monthly from SI and love that too. Your bujoplanner cover is gorgeous. I have the same in pocket size. 💗

I like your reading goals. I read a few of Toni Morrison books many many years ago. I am so grateful to have read her books when I was young and just starting adulthood. I never thought to read August Wilson but I did get to see a few of his plays. I do not read a lot but I also read Real Self Care and found it soothing and logical and realistic. Thank you very much for sharing your process and reasoning. It’s very helpful. You have a very lovely setup

Just google what day of the year is today? That’s how I deal with the 365 page. Enjoyed your set up.

You and I read the same way! I've always read multiple books at the same time - usually 5-10. During Covid, I read 201 books that year but now I'm around 75-100.

I'm trying to let go of my mistakes too...I think our mistakes make the journal more "personal"/"real". Sometimes messy like life, but we move on. 🥰

This is the color I am interested in. I have never had a weeks before. Can you tell me if the cover is more like paper or cardstock or is it a hardback?

Such a cute birthday picture! Love watching your process!

Sterling ink has now come out with monthly booklets in different sizes. So far the B6 is working well for me. I’m thinking that maybe a small monthly calendar for on the go and the B6 would be a great combo for 2025

Absolutely loved your set up and style! Can’t wait to enjoy more videos from your channel. 🎉

I set up all my monthlies in all my planners ahead of time too at the beginning of the year. It allows me to write plans directly in them when they are scheduled and color code them to the minimal deco I have on the monthlies too. It’s an amazing benefit imho.

Cool. I love it

I am so happy to see you using a Hobonichi weeks again😁🥳 i also use the my 100 for movies and I watched 91 including cartoons and reality shows😆 I aggree with having the trackers in your edc. I ended up putting all mine in the weeks for same reason. Thanks for sharing, Rachel! Love your videos🥰

What a great setup! I love all of the trackers you've included and how it's bujo-adjacent but without the added pressure of making it look fancy. I actually am using my first Hobonichi planner this year as well, and I have the same weeks mega that you do! I was so excited when I ordered it in October at a clearanced price, and saw that I could start using it during the week of Thanksgiving; it was the perfect way to get used to the layout and try different spreads on the blank notes pages. I'm looking forward to your other setup videos!

i love this set up rachel!!!! wish we were going to the same conference in march 😭

Crazy! We watched 75 movies in 2023 also. Great set up! Thanks for sharing. 😀

Here for travelers co notebooks and inserts planning.... 🥰

Gorgeous!

Beautiful pages ❤

Love everything about this! ❤ Are the washi in your monthlies from washi tape shop too?

Great ideas and I’m glad I found your channel. I’ll be watching for the next reading journal video. ❤

Where did you get the book washi? The one on the Stephen King quote page. Its gorgeous!

Thank you for sharing your system and thoughts on it. I love the idea of a “didn’t finish” list and I will be adding it to my reading journal setup for 2024. This will be the first year I’ve kept a reading journal and I’m hoping it will help keep me accountable to myself as I’ve been wanting to jumpstart my old love of reading both for fun and growth instead of relying on the Internet and articles as you mentioned. Hope your reading journey in 2024 goes well!

love it!!! still debating on whether or not i set up (yet another) reading journal this year LOL

Grid notebooks became my best friends since i figured out how to bujo in them (future log, projects, and before each month : the monthly spread, and all the weeklies fir this month after , and that's it, then whatever i need to write). I might use the printables for the monthlies and weeklies this year, which i might glue inside. It's very convenient, i don't depend on anybody, and i have all the paper i need for the rapid logging and notes, and whatever i need to write.

ahhh loved the video! Can't wait for the video on how you use your work planner! 😍😍😍

Love it! Jealous, sounds like you’ve figured it out! Need to get there. 😊 great video, thanks for sharing! Love the TRC Brass Pen!! 😉

Cheers to Utah, for banning book bans!!!
