Hi! I’ve recently found your channel. I love when I find people who takes the time to acknowledge why their systems failed and how are they trying to improve. Me being someone who loves notebooks and has adhd (and was undiagnosed until my 20’s) I find it hard to stick to a system and I have failed many times. But this time I finally became consistent with my bullet journal, funnily enough considering that I have failed before at that. But the things that are working for me now are: -The size of the notebook, I’m using an A6 because it feels less daunting than an A5 plus it fits in all of my purses. -“If I feel like decorating I’ll decorate, if I don’t I just don’t” you said that and that’s exactly the mentality I’m going by, although the only month I didn’t really decorate was January lol. But keeping that in mind does takes the pressure away. P.D. Your commonplace Filofax set up looks really pretty, I love it!
As a chronic planner hopper (at least this year). I can relate to your struggles of trying of find something to settle with. It's not always easy, when you like some part in some system and another in something else. If somebody would have said to me at the beginning of the year that my planner peace will be in a bujo I would not have believed them. But after a few planner fails and many bujo fails, I did end up finding a system I'm content with. Which is basically having my bujo, common place book and journal in a Supernote. There is much less to setting up to do because I can use templates and there is also no fear of "messing it up", because I can tweak and edit it to no end. The only part of the bujo that is in a "real" notebook are my dailies. It's an old Moleskine daily pocket that I'm refurbishing for this purpose. I really like Moleskine so this gives me my Moleskine fix as well as fulfill my need to play in paper. Also the pocket size is a good EDC and I'd much rather carry that with me than my main bujo that is an A5. You know, Sterling ink has an A6 vertical, if that is the layout and size you like. Thanks for sharing this videos and your struggles. Also I cannot believe there are still steam trains going around.
