***yearly goals and tracker - this is where I desperately need help please🙏🏽 Would you share this from start to progress? what /how your year goal planning is done. then how you set up by breaking it down and how you track 🤞🏼🙏🏽
Thank you Daxa for watching! I have 2 videos going through the goals and my set up for 2021 that was released a year ago and you can check out those since I go through everything in detail.
Looking so forward to the Set Up Video... Great Ideas... Any chance of sharing your file in the Facebook Group? Would love to not start from scratch but modify your file to suit my needs?.
Thank you for sharing. I stumbled on your channel just yday (thanks to youtube for the reco) and I love your tips and techniques.. Impressed by your video, I wanted to purchase the Nanami notebook but it seems like it's sold out...
@@SterlingInk thank you so much! I am so embarrassed now... I see the notebook now. Will look for your video on how you have used it - I have been using the expanded moleskine for the past two years and the lamy safari.. So, am excited that this notebook offers additional pages... so happy to have found your channel!
Hi, have you set this up for 2022, so I can see what this all means please? I'm better with seeing it set up and how you work it. Many thanks in advance.
I’m so glad you shared! Some thoughts, I like a notes page for each month. I like to do my double page monthly calendar and then leave a blank page for anything I want to remember or reference. Also, I guess you’ll not really be able to decorate the entire month since you’ll only be using whatever you need and you won’t know what that is until it happens. I usually do 5-10 pages at a time. I’m excited to see how this works for you with your business. Will you still be using (or reimplement) a weeks for dirty planning and scheduling business tasks ahead?
Yess! We are on the same page! I think for the one page reference I would be combining with the monthly so I can see everything together. I was thinking about the decoration part I would probably still decorate maybe 30 pages at a time. I am mostly able to fill out 30 pages if I combined a to do list with brain dump plus journaling plus book journal etc. and I will just draw out the weeks onto the already decorated page whenever I need to. As of now I don’t really see myself decorating more than once a month haha and I feel like my decorations are pretty minimal so it wouldn’t really get in the way too much. I am using a weeks for dirty planning. I think it’s good to have a book with all the calendars ready for planning out business dates and it’s also nice to have a new planner that’s not just a notebook. When I don’t get a new planner for the year, it kind of backfires and I end up going crazy and buy a ton of other ones a month into the new year haha.
I am considering a Hobonichi Cousin; but, I am hesitant for most all the reasons you mention - keeping month, weeks and days together, customizing my trackers, etc. I am familiar with Nanami; and, am considering it in lieu of Cousin; but, the amount of prep and set-up drawing that I have to do myself is daunting. When you first started bullet journaling, how did you keep yourself motivated until it became a second nature or an efficient habit?
I think for me the most important thing was to constantly have it by my side lol. Out of sight out of mind. I have always kept a notebook/planner so it wasn’t very difficult to keep up with it. But I think having a set schedule for preplanning helped for me. For example I mark out the weekend before a new month to plan out the month ahead, and every Sunday night I plan out the week ahead. In terms of setting up, I just write out the dates and for the monthly spread which takes no time, and same thing for the weekly it’s just date and day of the week. Dailies are just a date and day of the week again. The only set up here really is the beginning portion where I plan out my goals etc. in terms of decoration, I have put together a variety of stickers and washi strips using the same thing along with a freebie calendar cover page so it doesn’t take much to slap on a few stickers to make the whole month look cohesive. I am not drawing anything in my planner so I think it shouldn’t be too difficult.
Thank you for this Catherine! I messaged you on Instagram too. How do you like using the Nanami compared to the stalogy paper. I've been a stalogy user the past few yrs and recently changed to Nanami for more pages. The A5's are the same but the grid vs cross style is different. I haven't used it just yet until I do a draft setup.... but how are you liking it?
Hey Alexis, thank you for your message. I definitely prefer nanami over stalogy since it’s tomoe River paper. The stalogy paper always bleeds for me when I use fountain pen. I also don’t like that I can barely see the grid in certain lights and I have very good eyesight.
Those Nanami notebooks are the best in my opinion. I like that family journal a lot.👍 I’m not ordering a cousin either for the first time in many years. Great idea to type up your plans, I will try this myself. What pen do you use the most?
Thank you! Yup the Nanami binding is really top rate and shipping is extremely fast. I might go back fo cousin sometime in the future when I crave printed planner again haha

You are seriously the most detailed planner I know. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you you are so kind 🥰🥰🥰
So excited to hear a fellow planner lives in New Jersey 🥰
Haha 😂 hi!!!
You are hands down my new favorite etsy shop- just take all my money!! LOL
Ahh thank you so much!
I like to visually plan what I want my planner to do/be also. So cool.
I love your spreads in your 2021 Hobonichi! The dedication and details are rewarding when you flip back to this year! ^^
Thank you! This is also the reason why I wanted to use one notebook for all my planning and journaling needs for next year :)
Thank you for the inspiration!
😘😘thank you!!
Thanks for the video!
I look forward to the set up video.
Thank you 🥰
@@SterlingInk Do you have a date for your setup video? I am waiting to set up mine until I watch your video!

Does the nanami notebook have more pages than the a5 day free hobonichi?
Yes more than twice as much.
What brand is the gray planner you have in your wallet?
It’s from Nolty. You can only get it from amazon japan.
@@SterlingInk thank you!
Those Nanami notebooks are the best in my opinion.
I like that family journal a lot.👍

So, it looks like for 2022 you didn't do this?
