In regards to the last question: I intentionally "mess up" my journals when I'm starting a new one so I can't feel bad about messing it up later. For my 2023 journal, I took my ink pad and just stamped around the inside cover. It really helps me take the pressure off of having the "perfect" journal so I can start actually using it.
Watching your videos has made me realise I've been chaotically commonplacing for years, if not my whole life. I always just labeled myself as an internet hoarder, or a compulsive collector of information, but looking at all the random notes, saved links, copied quotes, new words and tid bits of information I've accumulated over the years, I can definitely see I've been keeping a rather widely spread commonplace this whole time. Something about writing things by hand and making it intentional really resoanted with me, and though I've always leaned towards convenience when it comes to my commonplacing, I'm now really interested in trying to keep a notebook for it all and see if it works for me.
perhaps the irony is that you use a Traveler [as do I] for your "real" work and you use a Hobonichi for your "kabuki" work
Would you be able to link the specific dots that you buy in your next video if you tend to buy the same ones each time? I ordered some but they were super tiny, I don’t know how many millimetres to get!
I adore this video and adore how you set up your weeks and other things. I almost hesitated commenting to share this but… I do so out of kindness because I had a good cry last month when my frixion pen ink somehow disappeared after planning a years worth of content in a planner for TH-cam and Patreon. The ink is sensitive temperature wise. My son tested it after my tear fest and sure enough the ink disappeared. We tried doing what everyone said and put the planner in the freezer and though some of the ink came back.. the majority was gone. Since your planner is very beautiful and memory keeping I would hate for the same to happen to you. Again this isn’t an attack just a warning. One incident really does change everything.
Seeing these vids rly makes me want to get journals/notebooks for commonplace, but I always worry that having so many would take up space and be difficult to store over the years ;-;
There's something so cozy and delightful about watching people write. This was great company while I did my own weekly planning.
sees a 30+ minute video drop from my favorite comfy content creator
That pilot pen, I used to love it in junior high until I needed to look on 2 grades back worth of notes and found out ALL the writing in my old textbooks was faint to the point of barely readable. I live in Greece, summers get too hot for that pen not to erase itself but I had no idea about it and I was so horrified that I’ve specifically searched for the blackest and archival ink pens after that … I swear by pentel energel nowadays and platinum carbon black ink for my fountain pens.
Premium content 🙏
I wish you had a podcast, I could listen to you all day long. this video was a breath of fresh air amidst all the business of everyday life. Thank you!
For the person afraid to use nice books, it helped me to think it was more of a waste of them not to use them than to use them. They're meant to be used. I'm not a tidy journal person and I just ramble on about boring shit so I thought it would be a sacrilege to use a nice book. I had empty books for years while I used crappy spiral notebooks. Or I'd start one, hate whatever I wrote or how it looked, tear out pages, and have a crapped up book lol. I don't do that anymore and for me it's about valuing myself enough to give myself a writing experience I enjoy. It's not for anyone else so it doesn't matter so long as I enjoy it.
I have been having a really difficult time focusing on videos without putting them at 1.5x or even 2x speed but your videos are always so gentle and calming that I watched it all in one sitting without needing to jump around the time bar. (I guess autistic content appeals to my autistic self, lol duh)
Frixion Pen SOLUTION - In the case that the paper gets left in a car or somewhere hot and the ink disappears you can just pop it into the freezer for like an hour or something and it will bring back most of the ink.
It is so relatable for me, when you talk about falling back into analog journaling and planning. I remember having so many notebooks when I was a kid, because I, too, was an analog baby born in 98. Notebooks were filled with anything I loved, small stories, journal entries and scribbles. Then I kind of gave in to the digital thing, but it never worked as well as writing did, so gradually I went back to writing in notebooks. Words do stick better when you write them by hand, and it helped me immensely in understanding myself and my feelings and in keeping memories.
Thanks for including the fog. I love it too!
Fog makes my week too. I enjoy these liminal times.
I only found you recently, but you've really encouraged me to rethink my journaling system. I'm autistic too and I really resonate with commonplacing and my test pages have been therapeutic in a way that typical long-form journalling isn't, luckily I found it before I set up my books for the new year! it's so satisfying to see the flip through of your finished commonplace book and makes me excited to fill mine as well 🙌🏻
I have been waiting all week for this 🤍 your videos are peak comfort, thank you so much
I have an adhd, and always get distracted by almost anything, and for the longest time, this was the first video that make me sit through and watch. Thank you :))
