Nice!!! - I like the abstract, plus your layouts and color coding on edges of page I have been using the Hobonichi cousin - love the paper but don’t really need/use the pre-printed items on the pages I like having the whole year in one book - but am finding I use it less and less as the year progresses - not sure why I am doing that - but it has happened two years in a row now - so think I need to try something different I seem to not be able to restrict myself to only decorating/ setting up pages for one month at a time - I tend to design my whole year in one mega sitting - stamps, washi, markers and paint - so my book is super chunky before I have even begun writing in it - which means it is cumbersome on day one and then gets more and more chunky as I really start using the pages ( but I do love the feel of a well used planner) seriously considering using 12 smaller notebooks and thinking then I could restrain myself to just decorating for the month As I type this I am formulating my plan 🤪😁 will try an A5 traveler notebook system - then I could have one that is all the months and days laid out for the year and then one that is just for the current month with my monthly pages, etc I love the feel of tomoe river paper after it has been written on - which is why I have been using the hobonichi. - think I need to educate/expose myself to other paper types So funny to see you cold in July - I am in South Florida and it is so hot and humid here It looks beautiful where you are
It sounds like a travelers notebook system would be perfect for you, and is definitely better at coping with chunky pages. Wow, it must be exhausting doing the whole year at once, and you're not spreading out the fun :) Maybe doing one month at a time will help keep you motivated because you've got another fun month to set up. Until five years ago when I started doing creative style bullet journaling, I often gave up writing in my journal around May/June. I really look forward to decorating my journal each month now, so I think that's one of the things that got me into the habit of using it daily and all year.

I have been using the Hobonichi cousin - love the paper but don’t really need/use the pre-printed items on the pages
I like having the whole year in one book - but am finding I use it less and less as the year progresses - not sure why I am doing that - but it has happened two years in a row now - so think I need to try something different
I seem to not be able to restrict myself to only decorating/ setting up pages for one month at a time - I tend to design my whole year in one mega sitting - stamps, washi, markers and paint - so my book is super chunky before I have even begun writing in it - which means it is cumbersome on day one and then gets more and more chunky as I really start using the pages ( but I do love the feel of a well used planner)
seriously considering using 12 smaller notebooks and thinking then I could restrain myself to just decorating for the month
As I type this I am formulating my plan 🤪😁
will try an A5 traveler notebook system - then I could have one that is all the months and days laid out for the year and then one that is just for the current month with my monthly pages, etc
I love the feel of tomoe river paper after it has been written on - which is why I have been using the hobonichi. - think I need to educate/expose myself to other paper types

Hi Bailey!
Haha, Bailey says Hi back! I love including him in my videos (when he's in the mood).
