I am a self-employed witchy type with ADHD too, so *so much* of this resonated (write ALL the lists!)
It never occurred to me to integrate my cycle so fully in my planning but it makes so much sense. I find the symptoms of my ADHD are noticeably influenced by my hormonal profile on any given day, so being more aware of it, and planning around it rather than fighting against it just seems so much wiser, kinder, and more effective.
Also, welcome to your 30s! I’m glad you had a lovely birthday! One of the best bday presents I’ve ever received was a one-shot game that one of my best friends wrote for me set in a magic school. He spent months on it and it was a total surprise, and I still remember it so fondly nearly a decade later. I’m so glad you got to have a similar experience - it’s so precious to share those memories with your favourite people ❤️
Your friend loved you to the point of invention a and I love to see it! 💛💛
This is the first video of yours that I’ve come across and I instantly fell in love with your channel! This video is so cozy and I love your planning process. Also I really love how long this is as well because I can bullet journal along!
Same 😊
Awesome, I commented that long journal videos might scare off new viewers but I'm glad I was wrong
hey cinnamon bun! this one's pretty chunky for a bullet journal video - is that your jam, or do you prefer about 10-20min long? and did any of my chat about systems and routines spark any ideas for yours?

i love a long video like this, i like to put them on while i work to create cozy vibes 🌟
I prefer the longer ones, but I'll watch them regardless :-)
I love the longer videos. It is so interesting and helpful for me to see your complex thought processes as I´m struggling with ADHD too. Thank you Rachael!
I'm thinking maybe I should start trying to plan around my cycle too. At least put something in my bujo to warn me about incoming PMS. Never fails I get really sensitive and emotional and am not sure why until period hits and then it's like "oh yeah, d'uh, was probably hormones" so I think it'd be helpful. Also I like long videos but will watch either long or short ones. 🙂
Definitely prefer the longer ones, I love how you go in depth about what works for you. Unfortunately my cycle is more like an unpredictable abstract shape? But I am very much a person of structure and routine so it is extremely useful and interesting for me to see how you divide and sort out your day/cycle etc to suit your needs
14 minutes in and I’m obsessed! I’ve been planning based on my cycle but, I haven’t a system that works for me fully. I am definitely going to try the method you have. This is genius.
I really really love the beginning of the video where you update us on what's happening while making a nice cup of tea. It's such a chill vibe
big agree
You are the first person I’ve found that plans according to their cycle and I’ve always wanted to try this! Thanks for posting !
I like the idea of a seasonal spread instead of hard aligning to months. I have an 8 day work cycle so that's a nice idea for syncing things up. Also, the idea of writing tasks down and prioritizing on separate paper before plugging them into the journal is neat. I have difficulty prioritizing stuff and I might just steal the ITIL priority matrix for that. I use it at work anyway.
love to see extensive spiritual bullet journal videos like this there just aren't enough out there
Agree, this is so much more helpful to me than pretty spreads, this is like - here is what this person does and WHY, so I can think oh that could help me too, let me give that a go
@@claremiller9979 interesting too bc cyclical routines is something i just started to implement for myself in july!!!
Ok I am MAJOR fandgirling over your system for dividing your life into categories represented by latin (I think?) names and symbols! Brilliant!!!
Personally I love long videos. I play your videos in the background a lot while I do little chores and while I’m getting ready for the day. Your videos soothe me more than any other TH-camr on here. I’m not sure if it’s because you have a soothing voice, the visuals, the background music? Or maybe it’s just your honesty. You talk about a lot stuff you’re going through and I’ve been going through a lot of stuff similar to you so I feel less alone.
This was a really long ramble when all I really wanted to say: thanks for giving us videos o any length because they are great!
What a great idea to incorporate the menstrual cycle into the bullet journal. I will definitely be adopting this. Thank you so much!!!
This is helpful because I’ve been trying to solve the problem of cycle tracking in bullet journalling as well… perhaps I’ll try planning around my cycle instead of tracking it in a traditional calendar format. Thank you, this was a very inspiring and cozy video. 😊
Finally...the TH-cam algorithm suggested something for me what just hit me in the feels.
Thank you and happy belated birthday. I subbed within 4 minutes.
Lol, I was just thinking that the algorithm must have gotten an update because it finally got me!
This is my first video of yours and it’s an INSTANT SUB
The vibes were immediately on point, from the tea to the music to the “HELLO CINNAMON BUNS”. Can’t wait to see more 🍂✨
Congrats on your big 3-0 being a delight, and four of wands, excellent card. I've pulled that in two spreads recently, I think it's trying to remind me ;)
It's so great to hear the joy and happiness in your voice! So glad things are brighter for you now. Also, welcome to your 30's! They're not half-bad, imo, lol. 🙂
First of your videos I've seen, wow! I've never seen anyone plan like this, so original and creative. Very inspired to break the mold now 😃
Yesssssss ttrpg!! They are definitely hard to organize. But so worth it.
the length of the video was great ~ chill vibe, my mind got to wader a bit but also always love getting ideas for tuning up my systems!
This is the first video I’ve seen of your channel and I have fallen completely in love with it. Just more of everything about this, please!
Love seeing the alignment and intention you've incorporated into the planning process. Inspiring Rachael
Came across this video just when I started thinking about planning in sync with my cycle, perfect timing! So happy for you and your relationship too ☺️
I've been taking notes! I think we're pretty similar in a lot of ways, so later this month I'm going to try mine pretty much as you have it here, and see what sticks. I wasn't using my bullet journal correctly at all (ie, "correctly" means in a way that helps me rather than causing more confusion) but I've since read more about Ryder Carrol's instructions and I see how - now that I know the basics a little better - this is going to be a GREAT tool for me.
You trying to defend yourself about your process
Me: why are you defending yourself?
You: why am I defending myself?
love it!! Also I usually do month by month but something about doing it via seasons instead really sets with me. I'm on BC so I don't have periods anymore but I like the idea of basing it off of cycles
I’ve just found your channel (as a recommendation from Elizabeth/Plant Based Bride) & oh my god I’m already in love. So happy to have found you! ♥️
Belated Happy Birthday, fellow urban witch Virgo (9/11 here). I have just been led to your channel and am resonating with your insights, your vibe, and your process. Just want to say, it *is* your process and your life and as long as it works for you, that is the point. No apologies needed, ever on that front. Looking forward to seeing more of your channel. Cheers.
I love your vlogs and planning videos and watch them over and over when I'm working in my own bullet journal or crafting or whatever Very chill and your struggles really resonate.
As someone whose periods have never in my life been regular, I'm impressed!
Happy belated birthday!
tmi, going through perimenopause and trying to figure out how this would work.
I have PCOS and period cycles don't work for me either. I plan with the lunar cycle instead and find it really helpful
so happy to find your channel and see how you plan your life around your cycle!! I try to plan my life around my cycle too and am always looking for new ways to tweak my process so i'm excited to see how you do it too :)
Happy belated 30th!
Aaa going back and watching the domain video immediately, I try to do something similar in my planning but I've been having a hard time getting it to click. So excited to see the details of how you do yours.
I've just stumbled upon this and you have really inspired me - thank you for making such a lovely, cozy, delightful video :) i well and truly slammed that subscribe button!!!
idk if this is weird but I rly like ur personality and ur vibe. so glad I found ur channel!!
Oddly, the project I am working on right now is about remembering.
Glad to see you back. Hope you feel better soon.
I've never saw someone that plans acording to their Cycle! This is so awesome! Your energy varies a lot according to your cycle and you plan based on that?
So happy to see you back! Glad you enjoyed your bday! Hoping things continue to get better as time goes on. :) Happy to hear you are in a new relationship! (I'd say only share what he and you are comfortable with. We love you but don't need to know everything about your personal life - you have a right to keep it quiet. But you can still beam and gush about it to let us know you are happy!)
This is a lovely video. Your planning system is fascinating, definitely not for me (my work and personal bujos are separate so the personal doesn't need to be complex!) but I'm so glad you've found something that works for you. Untethering from calendar months is an interesting one that I might consider implementing as I always find months to be almost too short to plan for, since most of my personal goals/reflections are longer term. Hope you continue to have a lovely early autumn!
OMG, what a wonderful birthday gift! ^_^ Your brother is a gem.
Happy belated birthday, you amazing woman! Keep celebrating. I loved this video.
I haven't watched the entire video yet, but I just wanted to say that I'm glad you're back. I always look forward to watching your videos. 💜
Where did you find such a beautiful folio/binder/journal cover? I’m in love w that it’s so simple and beautiful. Great detailed video I’m deff gonna try some of your systems. 💕
It’s from Galen leather!
I loved hearing you talk, it´s like chaothic but structured, like listening to a friend, Im doing some last year of college hw and listening to this video relaxed me a lot somehow. I just suscribed, will be watching your videos
I just love these videos. They’re unbelievably comforting 😌
Happy belated birthday, Rachael!🎂🎂🎂
English isn't my first language and in the beginning when you said you had a cough I thought it was a hip word for coffee and I was like huh that looks like tea
Happy belated birthday. I love your videos!
This month I consulted my pendulum for what I should do theme wise for my bullet journal and kept my tigers eye worry stone with me as well ☺
This was such an amazing video 🤩 so inspiring!!!
this was so soothing! First video of yours I saw and I instantly subscribed. - From another witchy -- adhd -- Scottish -- individual :)
Awesome job with this! I've been going back and trying to work my routines a bit more too. I thought I recognized the Antique Anatomy Tarot deck card and it is a beautiful deck to work with. :) Kind of ironic because my characters in one story ran off the rails by choosing a different genre and they settled on steampunk lol. Congratulations on turning 30!
gosh i do really love these videos
i love your long videos!
Commenting early, will watch later. I'd vote for whichever length is easier for you, altho I might worry about longer videos scaring off new viewers. I don't really know if that's a thing tho, you're the TH-cam expert (at least relative to me anyway)
I am new to the channel but I look for people who post longer videos and I'm put off by lots of short ones. I would suggest to do what the TH-camr prefers, rather than worry about viewers. You will attract the viewers that suit you, instead of the ones that push you to do things that make you stressed or unhappy. Hope that makes sense?
Hope you’re feeling better! I feel like everyone has a cold and cough recently!
Happy birthday; great video.
Happy 30th!
Sorry if you said this in the video, but did you come up with your different "domains" or is it based on a book/philosophy? I love the symbols and names - it makes a lot of sense!
I came up with it whole cloth! it was originally based on the image of a constellation with each domain being a named star, which is why I gave them pig-Latin names
i like autumn better than summer.
Loved the video. Can I ask where you got the cover for your journal? Looks so handy with the zipper❣️
It’s from Galen leather!
@@RachaelStephen Aaah, there goes my money😅 Thanks for sharing❣️
Miss you! Trying to get my Muse in gear.....
Where did you get the zip cover for your Leuchtturm?
Happy birthday from a fellow Virgo!
Where do you get your brown notepad for you brain dump list?
Where did the quests and the materlist idea come from?Asking bc I have set up my journal this way too but I got mine from heavily moderating the Franklin-Covey governing values. The categories for masterlist are almost the same too, but I called domum "organize" which probably says something about the state of my household. 😆
the six domains are all me baby! I came up with it and named them myself. I’m not surprised if there are other similar systems out there though. I call mine the Constellation System.
@@RachaelStephen it's beautiful! And I'm so grateful you shared it with us! I always take simultaneous and similar results as a sign that we're on the right track. 💛💛
Hi! In search of a good chai tea! What chai tea are you using here? 📝
this was just a plain old twinings chai teabag but I do enjoy a loose leaf or proper simmered chai when available
Congratulations on the relationship.
This is me being completely dumb and oblivious but in the beginning when you were talking about having a cough i initially thought you were using coff as quirky slang for coffee but then you started saying you're not a fan and might have to edit it out and that's when i realised "wait the coffee can't be THAT bad"
In my defense, it's early in the morning and i might just need some coffee
I wish I had a 35 day menstrual cycle...Mine is 29, so sometimes I have 2 periods in a month...
my cycle elongated because I‘ve had low progesterone so for months the entire last five days were spent in serious PMS waiting for it to “drop.” I’ve been hoping it would go back to 30-31 days for ages! the grass always looks greener somewhere else, huh 💁♀️
I wish I had an any-set-number-of-days cycle! Sometimes it's 30, sometimes it's 45, and everything in between. If I tried to journal like this every month would need extra pages...
Scottish Scorpio.
Scorpio moon, Virgo sun
this is very complicated. i don't work. i'm an artist. but whatever works for you, do that.
You should never put honey in a hot drink...
oh no, why??
@@RachaelStephen in a hot water honey loses all of its beneficial properties, lukewarm water on the other hand is fine...
