I recently started a foster dog journal. Each dog i foster gets a double page spread dedicated to photos and memories of them. Its my way of feeling better about them moving on and thinking about how many dogs I've helped find their forever homes 😊
I don’t foster but I want so badly to do a spread about my cat or maybe a journal specifically for her that will have pictures of her for when she someday has to depart and go over that rainbow bridge
I have 2 journals 1 for each of my girls and each year on their birthday I write them a letter in it to them I will give it to them when they're older.
I have written a journal for my daughter, adopted daughter, from our meeting, when she was 2 years old, to her 12 th birthday. I gave it to her for her 16 th birthday and she was very happy. Now she is 31 and she has the project to go to her birth country which is Vietnam. So I take this diary again as a net and i try to deepen my memories and write as much details as i can remember about our common history in Hanoi, the places, the peoples, the food, the plants,...
Loved this! Another one to throw out there is a trouble shooting planner for when your phone, computer, tv fails and you do the steps to fix but may not remember next time around that happens (before calling the company for help) 👍🏽
You kind of touched on it with "Gaming journal" but to make it more specific, a DnD/RPG journal! Track your character stats, write down their story as you play it, stuff like that.
I did this with skyrim! few years ago, it helped me to keep myself in the mindset of my character and never broke character because of it. Its lot of fun. lol
I have a journal that on each page I write a sentence created by a random prompt site and use it to prompt a creative writing exercise. I keep it to one page per sentence and then afterwards I decorate around the page in a style to fit the mood of the writing. I find it really helpful in developing my writing skills, as often it challenges me to write different genres. And I get a chance to use stickers and washi tape from my collection.
Positivity journal. I write down at least 3 things that were positive about that specific day. Especially on the hard days, when getting out of bed is a big win. A housekeeping journal. To write down what I did and when, so I can track when I last cleaned out the fridge (example). A plant journal. A journal dedicated to your plants. What do they need, when was the last time you gave them new soil, etc.
The most common use of journals for me is usually for LARP (Live Action Roleplaying) such as recording stats, events in and out of character, lore as perceived by the character, campaign progress, mechanics/cheat sheets for calculating rolls, etc. My most recent ones I have been transcribing real life and game world versions of the same topics for comparison.
I started college before the internet really took off. Email wasn't even that common yet, so I wrote a lot of letters. My freshman year I kept a journal of my experiences living on campus and what college was like. Then at the end of the school year I sent it to my best friend as a kind of "letter." It was a way of staying connected because at that time we were at pretty different points in our lives.
I play a lot of solo RPGs, so I use my spare notebooks to write out the adventure as its happening. Sometimes the adventures are just written out as bullet points, but if I have enough time, I'll write out what happened from the perspective of the character, essentially making a diary for them. Its fun to look back on and is a great way to use up my spare stickers and washi tape if I feel like decorating.
Love these ideas! I also have a small lined journal I bought at the dollar store that I use to track my makeup, skin care, and hair care products in. I track things like when I purchased the item and when I opened it, so I know when it's time to toss it (helpful for me especially for makeup as I don't wear makeup daily). Any products I try that don't work for me so I will remember not to buy it again, and the same for products I really liked and want to buy again. New products I want to try, and anything else related that I want to remember when needing to purchase something. Like the color of lipstick I liked or which shampoo worked well with my hair type, etc.
I only have one journal outside of my bujo, and that’s my craft journal. I make a lot of jewelry pieces, so I use it to track where I get my supplies and tools from, expenses for materials and work hours (for calculating the cost of the pieces), personal projects and commissions, making notes on techniques and skills I’m learning or want to learn, sketches of designs or reference images, etc.
When you create them all you'll need another one just to keep track with all the notebooks :D My propositions are journey planning notebook and journey log. I love my little journey journals.
I started journaling because I started a “commonplace” book and it morphed into a kind of catch-all journal for ideas, thoughts, learning, and “long-form” or “diary” keeping, I think I also do “reflections” here on occasion but don’t really think of it that way. I never liked journaling until I came to it myself, just because it felt right for the time. I also have a composition book that holds my reading log; I have kept one for the last 18years and am in my third. I also have a catch-all projects planner that holds project ideas (both household and craft), swatches of yarn & ink, and active project notes. Then I have the necessary work notebook. I am getting ready to start a faith/Bible journal and a 5year, both of which I am looking forward to.
I currently have 3 journals on the go, soon to be 4. I have my regular bujo (A5) my collections journal (A5) my monthly trackers journal (Travelers) and as soon as my B5 arrives in the post, I'll be setting up my Book of Shadows. I am very excited. :)
I bought my current planner in 2 sizes because I wasn't sure if the larger one would fit comfortably in my hands & bag. It did fit, and I actually loved the size, so I repurposed the smaller book as a type of reading journal. Instead of writing down everything I read (because I sometimes read 2 books per day and I never keep up with these) I only write down which books, authors, or series I really enjoyed and will probably read again. This way I can flip through and look for high lighted keywords about the different series I liked. If I'm looking for "the one where the guy works at the coffee shop in Colorado", I'll be able to find it even if I can't remember what the author's name was. I also keep the reading order list because authors don't often put the book order on the cover and it can be a PITA to figure out which book is 1, 2 or 3.
On the topic of project / hobby journaling: a music learning journal. You could write down the exercises and songs you currently practice, goals you want to achieve, songs you want to be able to play, setlists, and to help you remember the bits and bobs of your instrument (care and maintenance, tuning guide, transposition guide, equipment like the strings brand you prefer or microphones/amps you tested that didn't create the sound you're looking for, etc.). - Another journal I use is for improving my handwriting.
I just came across this video but I love it! I have a playlist journal where I keep playlists I've created or write down track lists for old mix CDs I've made and date them -- I have ADHD so I'm terrible at the concept of time!-- and I see that as a form of journaling because it shows what I was into at the time and the FEELS that come with them!
I have a category where I track fashions, or clothing pieces I want to try, makeup I have tried and notes about it (liked or didn't ect), and things I want to keep an eye out for at the thrift shops.
Hi Jess! Amazing video! A couple more ideas are a moving journal, a sewing journal, a bird log or creature log, auto maintenance, and reading journal. Love your videos and can't wait for the next one!
Thanks Sahara! 😄💜 I thought of the moving journal too just after I finished filming, haha 😝 Added it onto the list; I found my moving spreads so helpful when we moved last year 💪
Honestly, I'm so glad that this video showed up in my recommended. I have some empty notebooks lying around that I had no idea on what to do with, but a few of these ideas sound perfect for me. I mean, I love videogames and anime, so having a journal of those things sounds fun to me. Also, I'm an artist, and I kind of had an idea notebook already: highly recommend that one to anyone in the comments. I just have it chilling on my desk in case inspirations hits and I need to write it down. I open up the notebook each week, and just review what I've jotted down so far. I actually have a set of mildliners for that purpose: I use green for awesome ideas that I will draw at some point, yellow for both maybe and 'needs to be thought out more', and red for a no go. Because sometimes, an idea definitely has potential, but it just needs to be thought out in more detail. Kind of like 'yeah, drawing a male gorgon in glasses is nice, but is he going to have slit eyes or not?' That notebook sure has been working out for me so far, because it helped me get me out of an art block that had been lasting for 2 years. It wasn't the only thing, but it sure was a factor in getting me back on track.
This might just be me but I upcycled one of my notebooks into a sticker album. I loved collecting stickers since when I was a high school student. So now, I decided to store those stickers in a notebook until I finally get to use them. All I had to do is to use a double-sided tape on the backing of the sticker so that it would be attached to the notebook with me having to remove it's backing.
For most of the ideas I have spreads in my daily bujo, I'm not that *extra* for this informations 😅 but I'm planning to make the quote journal and the recipe book, so I'm not searching for them like a crazy when I need some kind of information/reference and I KNOW I WROTE THIS ON SOME KIND OF SCRAP PAPER loosely ~flowing~ around my apartment 🤣👐 Great, so detailed and helpful video Queen Jess, as always ❤👸🏻 luvluvluv
I keep telling myself to make a car maintenance spread in a new notebook! Haven't done it yet, but it is good to know when the last time your oil was changed and the wheels were aligned and such.
This is something my father in law has done with every vehicle.. I've seen a few other men do it as well . They put everything in a pocket sized notebook leave it in the car and actually include the notebook when car is sold (which buyers love) always thought it was such a simple yet brilliant idea
I have a shadow work journal. It’s good for reflection/working through trauma. Not suitable for everyone, because doing shadow work without a therapist can be dangerous for some of us. But if you’re able it’s super helpful.
I currently have 3 journals that I'm using. I have my daily bullet journal, a goal planner, and a reading journal. I also have 2 lined notebooks, one for daily stream of consciousness Journaling and one for tarot card readings.
Great as always jess🤩 I use my daily bullet journal for alot of these ideas, and I use reading journal, 5years journal, writting prompts journal, and qoutes journal. But I am thinking about making a students memories journal with pictures, nice moments and sentances they could write to me
All the dr appointments I have for my little I put what the dr said and measurements its probably gross but I put their little bandaids ias decorations along with the sticker they get after the appointment.
Great Video! Thank you for sharing the PDF file to print. Here’s some of your ideas I may customize my journal/notebook: - 📕Quote Book - 📗Poem Book - 📘Lyrics I Love - 📒Podcasts - 📙Washi Graveyard - 📔5 Year Journal - 📕Daily Headline - 📗 PARISian Commonplace Journal - 📗101 Things List
@@JashiiCorrin “For the longest time I’ve thought about displaying a compendium of ideas and inspiration using a planner/journal to eXpress my LOVE of Fashion & PARISian Lifestyle.”
I'm thinking about a parenting type of notebook setup. Filled with development (when to expect what), stuff I want to do differently than my parents, issues I've talked through with my partner and how the child responds to what input (like baby wrap, singing makes them sleepy and stuff).
I can see a lot , not all, of these ideas in one bullet journal. Some of them may not need more than a few pages. I would combine them. In a long term journal. Like Reading, quotes, and poems/lyrics that move you. I have a hostess journal that I started years ago. In it I keep a guest list sometimes a table plan, table decor and/or theme, full menu with recipe references, That way you avoid repeats and you remember the events. I try to take photos of table decor before people are seated, and a couple of pictures of everyone during dinner. I have found it very useful and joyful. I often will repeat menus for different guests. It brings back good memories. Also include any potlucks you may be hosting. All fun to look back at.
The thing I have a hard time with about combining too many things into one, is leaving a set amount of space for something and then having it outgrow that space, and not being able to just go back and insert everything in the correct section like we can on the computer.
I have 4 journals 1 for eating health 📗🖋 2 for my water fast 📘🖋 3 for my workout's 📕🖋 4 for my feelings 📓🖋 I now Love to write 📖❤💜 I love watching videos like this because I love getting new ideas to add to my notebook's I have 11 containers of notebook's that how much I love writing 📖🖋❤💜💖💗 I been writing since March of 2020 it's now March 2022 and I am still writing 📖🖋 so thank you for making videos about notebook's 📓🖋
For hobbies, a sewing journal, or an ink journal of inks bought and/or what's in a particular fountain pen. For those who don't sew, a wardrobe/clothing journal. A pet journal (or did you mention that?) with vet appointment, behavior, training exercises, treats/food and so on. One of the things I'm having trouble with is figuring out what size is best for a particular kind of journal. So far, I have a List Journal in Composition size, a bucket list (but I call it possibility) journal in A5 size, a quote journal in a tiny moleskine (one quote per page), 8.5 x 11 for morning pages, bullet journals in A4 and A5 size, washi tape journal and ink journal in field note size, gratitude journal in field note size, random notes/to do on the run in field note size, travel journal in travelers notebook standard size. I'm not sure what to do with A6 size or other random notebooks in in-between sizes.
I have 4 different notebooks that all serve different functions so it was nice to get some new ideas for them as well as justifying the amount of different things I like to keep in them 😁
It's funny, while I watch this I'm working on my "catalogue"... I saw the swatch book idea in a JetPens video before finding your vid, and it really is such a good idea. But the washi tape graveyard is such an inspired idea.
I'm forever trying to find ways to use my notebooks efficiently and the traditional BUJO method just doesn't work for me. Since I've come across your channel I've found heaps of useful ideas for lists, trackers and other ways to organise. Great stuff! Thank you so much for sharing so many amazing ideas.
I used to have a notebook for notes that I took when on the phone to different offices and people. Kept me focused on the call and needed info didn't get lost... Games book that holds indoor and outdoor games and activities that don't require much equipments and also doesn't take necessarily hours to set up.
Good brain jogger! I found a big hardcover lined paper notebook that was given to me once when I was a truant officer many years ago that was less than a quarter written into. I was going to toss it but what a waste of paper and a good hard cover so your suggestions are spot on if not as you say "exhaustive". Cheers
Awesome! Thanks, Jess. I am using my daily bujo, a long term collections journal and the Powersheets planner right now. Still trying to find my groove with using them all but getting closer! I will definitely be using a few of these ideas in my long term. I am compiling a list for collection I want to add of all the house plants I currently have and how to care for them. Also a list of plants I want for the house or yard. A sewing and crafts journal to include my Etsy shop info will be another one I want to start. As always, thanks for the inspiration!
I just love this video, the best idea ever I will reference them a lot 😄 thank you!! not only the ideas for notebooks and spreads, but also the referenced insta profiled to explore 🤩
Thanks so much for all the great ideas! I was so excited for this video when you mentioned it previously. I have a few more I want to add to my collection now even if I already have several I also have several journals I want to put to use. ^_^
I personally prefer to have certain things outside of my bullet journal in their own notebooks for ease of reference 😋 helps me keep related things together 👏 e.g. I'd rather have my pen swatches in a separate book where I can see them all together, rather than having to flip through multiple older bullet journals to look at them 💜
I sometimes feel frustrated; trying to decide what to put in a journal. A lot of your suggestions are things that I record in my regular calendar planner. Then, a lot of the things seem superfluous to me. I don't need a list to remind me to exercise. My grocery list is on a Post It note and gets thrown away after I've shopped. I don't do resolutions. I've discussed this with my daughter; who is a very creative journal planner and she says she just enjoys making lists. I remember that my Mother was a list maker. Evidently, the gene skipped me. Some of the lists just seem like people need to get on with their lives. If I charted the tv series I watched, it would be a very short list. Part of it, is my age. I'm not out to develop new habits, change behaviors, dedicate myself to good health ( I already do those things ) However, I'll keep watching the videos, and hope for some ideas that make sense to me.
Why not dedicate a certain book to a certain technique of drawing or writing, or writing with certain pens only. Like "Yo journal, you'll be all about fountain pen(s)" or so. I got this idea because different paper qualities are more or less suitable for different media.
I think I’m going to get a little journal for each of my nieces and write a letter for them each year granted one is 10 and one is going to be 8 the other will be 2 so if I want to give them it on there 18th birthday then I’m not going to have much for either of the older girls. I’m also about to be an honorary aunt to my friends little boy so I’ll have another one to write to lol
Depending on what’s in the journal, or how big of a half is used up 😝 I’ll either repurpose the journal into what I call an R&D journal where I trial layouts or make the layout ideas for the videos I put out, or instead I’ll use the pages as space paper when I need it 😊
Thank you for replying. Those are good ideas. I like color in my journal, but am not an artist in the same definition that you and other Instagram bullet journal displays that are gorgeous but I am not interested at this in being that elaborate, but I love looking and puzzling over the ways the two go together. I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more of your videos and getting inspired by them. Thanks again.
Whenever you release these kinds of list videos, my collections journal loses a few more pages. All of these ideas are excellent! I'd throw in "Sports" in the "other" category. Having followed motorsports for a bit, I need to dedicate a notebook that summarizes the regulations, races, and teams of the year.
This is the first time I watched your video. I chose it because I was in need of inspiration. I found it too hard to try and read and see/study the examples you included. It all flashed by so quickly. Maybe your writing could be in a smaller screen and the examples larger? Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback! I don’t do a lot of videos like this one, but I’ll keep it in mind for next time. Out of curiosity, what type of device are you watching on? 🤔
I have a few "out of the box" ideas: - display pretty notebooks on shelves like you would record albums. -give it to your enemies. Now THEY have another blank notebook they don't know what to do with! Muahahaha - throw it at your enemies. (Bonus: write a nice note inside first, to confuse them) -right out a gay and/or feminist agenda (you know, the joke ones?) and leave it in locations haters might frequent.
I’m surprised this was useful for anyone. I thought if someone wanted to keep track of something or need a space for something specific they would just grab a notebook and do it. But clearly this was helpful to so many, I’m boggled anyone would need to be told they can make a journal specific to anything they wanted……not sure if this sounds mean and not intentionally trying to sound rude, I’m genuinely surprised this is helpful for people
I mean, it does sound a bit rude 😅 one of the drawbacks of text-based communication I guess. But I’m glad it ~has~ been helpful for a good chunk of people 😊 people have different needs, and I know I’m the type of person who finds an ideas list helpful, even if in ~theory~ I could have figured things out myself 💜
You may not have the intention of sounding rude, but sometimes the words that are used in a comment can be perceived as either offensive or insulting. In response to your comment regarding the video itself, I would say it’s NOT a matter of anyone “needing to be told” they can make a journal of whatever they want - clearly that’s a given. However, for those of us with many many notebooks and different types of journals, we sometimes can’t think of any other ways to utilize any empty notebooks…which is where videos like THIS come in handy! For example, I know I personally wouldn’t have thought of ALOT of these ideas on my own! Therefore, I’m extremely grateful for these types of videos with a ton of ideas! ❤
I recently started a foster dog journal. Each dog i foster gets a double page spread dedicated to photos and memories of them. Its my way of feeling better about them moving on and thinking about how many dogs I've helped find their forever homes 😊

This is soooo sweet 🥹🩷🐶🌟

So nice! ❤
That is a beautiful sweet thing to do for them. That will mean the world to them. It would to me anyway if my mom did that.
I have written a journal for my daughter, adopted daughter, from our meeting, when she was 2 years old, to her 12 th birthday. I gave it to her for her 16 th birthday and she was very happy.
Now she is 31 and she has the project to go to her birth country which is Vietnam.
So I take this diary again as a net and i try to deepen my memories and write as much details as i can remember about our common history in Hanoi, the places, the peoples, the food, the plants,...
My mom did this for me and it meant a lot ❤
I’m autistic, so I made a journal about my current special interest! I’ve barely started it but it’s been fun so far :)
Loved this! Another one to throw out there is a trouble shooting planner for when your phone, computer, tv fails and you do the steps to fix but may not remember next time around that happens (before calling the company for help) 👍🏽
That’d be an excellent reference journal to have! 💜😄
LOVE this - have taken note of it!! Thanks!
Love that idea
You kind of touched on it with "Gaming journal" but to make it more specific, a DnD/RPG journal! Track your character stats, write down their story as you play it, stuff like that.
I did this with skyrim! few years ago, it helped me to keep myself in the mindset of my character and never broke character because of it. Its lot of fun. lol
This give me idea to make an "office drama journal"
LOL It'll be fun 🤣🤣
Haha that'd be great 😂 Make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands!
omg post it lol
I have a journal that on each page I write a sentence created by a random prompt site and use it to prompt a creative writing exercise. I keep it to one page per sentence and then afterwards I decorate around the page in a style to fit the mood of the writing. I find it really helpful in developing my writing skills, as often it challenges me to write different genres. And I get a chance to use stickers and washi tape from my collection.
Positivity journal. I write down at least 3 things that were positive about that specific day. Especially on the hard days, when getting out of bed is a big win.
A housekeeping journal. To write down what I did and when, so I can track when I last cleaned out the fridge (example).
A plant journal. A journal dedicated to your plants. What do they need, when was the last time you gave them new soil, etc.
Good ideas 👏 I think I need a positivity journal, haha
The most common use of journals for me is usually for LARP (Live Action Roleplaying) such as recording stats, events in and out of character, lore as perceived by the character, campaign progress, mechanics/cheat sheets for calculating rolls, etc. My most recent ones I have been transcribing real life and game world versions of the same topics for comparison.

Aww nice! My mum keeps a similar journal with her quilting pieces 😄💜
When you create them all you'll need another one just to keep track with all the notebooks :D
My propositions are journey planning notebook and journey log. I love my little journey journals.
Haha an notebook-index journal 😝💜
What is a journey journal?
You could combine so many of these in one. And just create a good index. Frankly, some of these would be silly to dedicate a whole journal to.
I started journaling because I started a “commonplace” book and it morphed into a kind of catch-all journal for ideas, thoughts, learning, and “long-form” or “diary” keeping, I think I also do “reflections” here on occasion but don’t really think of it that way.

Yay! I love seeing people book of shadows layouts! 💜😄
Book of Shadows is so fun to have! I have one too, and it's a great journal to fill in regularly :)
What is that?
I bought my current planner in 2 sizes because I wasn't sure if the larger one would fit comfortably in my hands & bag. It did fit, and I actually loved the size, so I repurposed the smaller book as a type of reading journal. Instead of writing down everything I read (because I sometimes read 2 books per day and I never keep up with these) I only write down which books, authors, or series I really enjoyed and will probably read again.

I also keep the reading order list because authors don't often put the book order on the cover and it can be a PITA to figure out which book is 1, 2 or 3.
that would be awesome for me too!!! I do have a reading journal (just started actually), so i'llo include your ideas! Thank you!!!

"General Child maintenance" haha 😄 I love that! Also, glad I'm not the only engaged person with no plans of getting married anytime soon 😀
Haha I really could have worded that better 😝💜
@@JashiiCorrin I have kids I think it's great lol
I was engaged for almost 9 years. No rush.
For most of the ideas I have spreads in my daily bujo, I'm not that *extra* for this informations 😅 but I'm planning to make the quote journal and the recipe book, so I'm not searching for them like a crazy when I need some kind of information/reference and I KNOW I WROTE THIS ON SOME KIND OF SCRAP PAPER loosely ~flowing~ around my apartment 🤣👐
Great, so detailed and helpful video Queen Jess, as always ❤👸🏻 luvluvluv
Haha 😂 I would love to have a recipe book as a kinda keepsake type thing….I’m just too lazy to actually make one 😝 I super love the idea though! 💜
Health and/or training journal for pets, and a sewing journal.
Good ideas! 💜😄
I keep telling myself to make a car maintenance spread in a new notebook! Haven't done it yet, but it is good to know when the last time your oil was changed and the wheels were aligned and such.
For sure! Vogel keeps track of that information for us, but otherwise I’d totally have spreads related to that in my long-term collections journal 💪
This is something my father in law has done with every vehicle.. I've seen a few other men do it as well . They put everything in a pocket sized notebook leave it in the car and actually include the notebook when car is sold (which buyers love) always thought it was such a simple yet brilliant idea
I've got this video on repeat. So good. Excellent ideas.
Haha glad it's been helpful for you! 💪💜
This was fun! I LOVE pens & journals & have lots of notebooks… inspiration has been in short supply til now. Thank you!
I have a shadow work journal. It’s good for reflection/working through trauma. Not suitable for everyone, because doing shadow work without a therapist can be dangerous for some of us. But if you’re able it’s super helpful.
A good idea with an important disclaimer! 💜👌
Had never heard of this shadow work. Good to know & will delve into whether I'd like to start one.
I currently have 3 journals that I'm using. I have my daily bullet journal, a goal planner, and a reading journal. I also have 2 lined notebooks, one for daily stream of consciousness Journaling and one for tarot card readings.
Nice! 💜 I feel like I need to start a stream-of-consciousness journal 😅
Great as always jess🤩
I use my daily bullet journal for alot of these ideas, and I use reading journal, 5years journal, writting prompts journal, and qoutes journal. But I am thinking about making a students memories journal with pictures, nice moments and sentances they could write to me
Awww I love that! 💜 What a lovely idea 😄
Love all your videos! What about an adventures journal? I will be using one of my journals for all the new experiences we do with my little man
Aww that’s a perfect way to use one! 💜😄
All the dr appointments I have for my little I put what the dr said and measurements its probably gross but I put their little bandaids ias decorations along with the sticker they get after the appointment.
Great Video! Thank you for sharing the PDF file to print. Here’s some of your ideas I may customize my journal/notebook:
- 📕Quote Book
- 📗Poem Book
- 📘Lyrics I Love
- 📒Podcasts
- 📙Washi Graveyard
- 📔5 Year Journal
- 📕Daily Headline
- 📗 PARISian Commonplace Journal
- 📗101 Things List
I’m so in love with this idea of a washi graveyard, haha 😂
What’s a PARISian commonplace journal?
@@JashiiCorrin “For the longest time I’ve thought about displaying a compendium of ideas and inspiration using a planner/journal to eXpress my LOVE of Fashion & PARISian Lifestyle.”
I'm thinking about a parenting type of notebook setup. Filled with development (when to expect what), stuff I want to do differently than my parents, issues I've talked through with my partner and how the child responds to what input (like baby wrap, singing makes them sleepy and stuff).
That's a great idea! Nice to have those intentions captured somewhere 💜
Wow this is an amazing list! I'll have to try some of these fore sure as I have plenty of blank journals. 😂
I can see a lot , not all, of these ideas in one bullet journal. Some of them may not need more than a few pages. I would combine them. In a long term journal.
Like Reading, quotes, and poems/lyrics that move you.
I have a hostess journal that I started years ago.
In it I keep a guest list sometimes a table plan, table decor and/or theme, full menu with recipe references,
That way you avoid repeats and you remember the events. I try to take photos of table decor before people are seated, and a couple of pictures of everyone during dinner.
I have found it very useful and joyful.
I often will repeat menus for different guests. It brings back good memories. Also include any potlucks you may be hosting. All fun to look back at.
The thing I have a hard time with about combining too many things into one, is leaving a set amount of space for something and then having it outgrow that space, and not being able to just go back and insert everything in the correct section like we can on the computer.
Budget journal, questions for a dr or a specific journal just for therapy
I have 4 journals
1 for eating health 📗🖋
2 for my water fast 📘🖋
3 for my workout's 📕🖋
4 for my feelings 📓🖋
I now Love to write 📖❤💜
I love watching videos like this because I love getting new ideas to add to my notebook's I have 11 containers of notebook's that how much I love writing 📖🖋❤💜💖💗 I been writing since March of 2020 it's now March 2022 and I am still writing 📖🖋 so thank you for making videos about notebook's 📓🖋
Keeping track of yarn projects and types of yarn also
For hobbies, a sewing journal, or an ink journal of inks bought and/or what's in a particular fountain pen. For those who don't sew, a wardrobe/clothing journal. A pet journal (or did you mention that?) with vet appointment, behavior, training exercises, treats/food and so on.
One of the things I'm having trouble with is figuring out what size is best for a particular kind of journal. So far, I have a List Journal in Composition size, a bucket list (but I call it possibility) journal in A5 size, a quote journal in a tiny moleskine (one quote per page), 8.5 x 11 for morning pages, bullet journals in A4 and A5 size, washi tape journal and ink journal in field note size, gratitude journal in field note size, random notes/to do on the run in field note size, travel journal in travelers notebook standard size. I'm not sure what to do with A6 size or other random notebooks in in-between sizes.
I have 4 different notebooks that all serve different functions so it was nice to get some new ideas for them as well as justifying the amount of different things I like to keep in them 😁
It's funny, while I watch this I'm working on my "catalogue"... I saw the swatch book idea in a JetPens video before finding your vid, and it really is such a good idea. But the washi tape graveyard is such an inspired idea.
I'm forever trying to find ways to use my notebooks efficiently and the traditional BUJO method just doesn't work for me. Since I've come across your channel I've found heaps of useful ideas for lists, trackers and other ways to organise. Great stuff! Thank you so much for sharing so many amazing ideas.
Glad the ideas have been useful for you! 😄💜
Super video! Always good to have new ideas to use my bookcase full of notebooks for :)
I used to have a notebook for notes that I took when on the phone to different offices and people. Kept me focused on the call and needed info didn't get lost... Games book that holds indoor and outdoor games and activities that don't require much equipments and also doesn't take necessarily hours to set up.
Good brain jogger! I found a big hardcover lined paper notebook that was given to me once when I was a truant officer many years ago that was less than a quarter written into. I was going to toss it but what a waste of paper and a good hard cover so your suggestions are spot on if not as you say "exhaustive". Cheers
Glad it could be helpful! 😄💜
My favourite TH-cam video...ever.
Glad you liked it! 💜😄
I love this video. Great ideas plus I just felt so chill and calm watching it 💜 lots of fun stuff and it was really well organized!
Thanks Bronwen! Glad you enjoyed it 💜😄
Awesome! Thanks, Jess. I am using my daily bujo, a long term collections journal and the Powersheets planner right now. Still trying to find my groove with using them all but getting closer! I will definitely be using a few of these ideas in my long term.
I am compiling a list for collection I want to add of all the house plants I currently have and how to care for them. Also a list of plants I want for the house or yard. A sewing and crafts journal to include my Etsy shop info will be another one I want to start.
As always, thanks for the inspiration!
Jess this is so helpful! Great video, thanks for sharing! I gotta go set up some notebooks now!!!!
Thanks Valerie! 💜😄 I need to set some up too, haha
This video is pure GOLD! Thank you!!!
Thanks Maria! Glad you liked it! 😄💜
So many great ideas in the video AND the comments!!
I just love this video, the best idea ever I will reference them a lot 😄 thank you!! not only the ideas for notebooks and spreads, but also the referenced insta profiled to explore 🤩
Thanks Katharina! Glad you found it helpful 💜😄
Thanks so much for all the great ideas! I was so excited for this video when you mentioned it previously. I have a few more I want to add to my collection now even if I already have several I also have several journals I want to put to use. ^_^
I really like the ideas. But if you do have a Bullet Journal, you won't need most of the other notebooks, that's why I only have a BuJo :)
I personally prefer to have certain things outside of my bullet journal in their own notebooks for ease of reference 😋 helps me keep related things together 👏 e.g. I'd rather have my pen swatches in a separate book where I can see them all together, rather than having to flip through multiple older bullet journals to look at them 💜
"enabler Jess here"😂
Lol she’s always here, let’s be real 😂💜
I sometimes feel frustrated; trying to decide what to put in a journal. A lot of your suggestions are things that I record in my regular calendar planner. Then, a lot of the things seem superfluous to me. I don't need a list to remind me to exercise. My grocery list is on a Post It note and gets thrown away after I've shopped. I don't do resolutions. I've discussed this with my daughter; who is a very creative journal planner and she says she just enjoys making lists. I remember that my Mother was a list maker. Evidently, the gene skipped me. Some of the lists just seem like people need to get on with their lives. If I charted the tv series I watched, it would be a very short list. Part of it, is my age. I'm not out to develop new habits, change behaviors, dedicate myself to good health ( I already do those things ) However, I'll keep watching the videos, and hope for some ideas that make sense to me.
Brilliant ideas thankyou :)
I Just made a notebook to write about rabbits and Guinea pigs. I also have one about ants. I Just love to write about animals.
I love that! "What is this?! A journal for ANTS?!" 💜😝
Absolutely LOVED this video! Thank you so much for both the amazing ideas and also featuring some of my Pages on this video! ♥ ILYSM Jess!
Thanks for letting me feature your work Dano! 😄💜
Thank you for this. I buy beautiful notebooks because I love then and then they don’t fulfill their purpose.
Most welcome! 💜 Hope it was useful 😄
Nice lists 🤩
Thanks Sabine! 😄💜
Why not dedicate a certain book to a certain technique of drawing or writing, or writing with certain pens only. Like "Yo journal, you'll be all about fountain pen(s)" or so. I got this idea because different paper qualities are more or less suitable for different media.
Totally makes sense 👏💜
I have a journal where I write down everything I do when and what😊
Great ideas!!! thanks for sharing! loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it! 💜😄
Fantastic trials❤
Thanks! 😄💜
Yay, excuses for me to buy even more notebooks 🤭
Hello from British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦👋👍😎♥️
Hi Marguerite! 💜😄
I think I’m going to get a little journal for each of my nieces and write a letter for them each year granted one is 10 and one is going to be 8 the other will be 2 so if I want to give them it on there 18th birthday then I’m not going to have much for either of the older girls. I’m also about to be an honorary aunt to my friends little boy so I’ll have another one to write to lol
super helpful!
Yay, I'm glad to hear it! 😄💜
Yes I have at least 10 journals
If you have different pen pals you could track information about them there. Adresse or e-mail, hobby's family, pets, likes, dislikes,....
If ypu are an avid gardener, a journal dedicated to gardening is indispensable.
i have a problem with buying pretty notebooks, then not writing in them because i don’t know what to write and don’t want to mess it up
I remember at one point I had a notebook dedicated to my genshin pulls and whether I lost my 50/50 or won it
What do you do with a half filled journal with a mix of things in it?
Depending on what’s in the journal, or how big of a half is used up 😝 I’ll either repurpose the journal into what I call an R&D journal where I trial layouts or make the layout ideas for the videos I put out, or instead I’ll use the pages as space paper when I need it 😊
Thank you for replying. Those are good ideas. I like color in my journal, but am not an artist in the same definition that you and other Instagram bullet journal displays that are gorgeous but I am not interested at this in being that elaborate, but I love looking and puzzling over the ways the two go together. I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more of your videos and getting inspired by them. Thanks again.
I have a journal for my Pop collection
Oh nice! My friend Rachel could use one of those 😂 her collection is…large 😝💜
@@JashiiCorrin I have the same issue 😂😂😂
@@JashiiCorrin Tell Rachel if she has an empty journal use it for her pop collection
Whenever you release these kinds of list videos, my collections journal loses a few more pages. All of these ideas are excellent! I'd throw in "Sports" in the "other" category. Having followed motorsports for a bit, I need to dedicate a notebook that summarizes the regulations, races, and teams of the year.
Great idea! I don't watch/follow a lot of sports so wouldn't have thought of that one 😄 This is why I love getting you guys to share your ideas too! 🥳
Love letters to yourself or love letters for you and partner to each other.... date night planner also
Those are great ideas! 💪💜
This is the first time I watched your video. I chose it because I was in need of inspiration. I found it too hard to try and read and see/study the examples you included. It all flashed by so quickly. Maybe your writing could be in a smaller screen and the examples larger? Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback! I don’t do a lot of videos like this one, but I’ll keep it in mind for next time. Out of curiosity, what type of device are you watching on? 🤔
I have an iPad Pro. Your ideas, explanations and handwriting were great! Thanks for your reply. : )
🤣 child maintenance. Brilliant
If you need ideas for an extra category, education would be one to consider, despite that teacher planners exist already.
Haha yeah I could think of at least 4 ideas for teaching related journals 😝💜
I have a few "out of the box" ideas:
- display pretty notebooks on shelves like you would record albums.
-give it to your enemies. Now THEY have another blank notebook they don't know what to do with! Muahahaha
- throw it at your enemies.
(Bonus: write a nice note inside first, to confuse them)
-right out a gay and/or feminist agenda (you know, the joke ones?) and leave it in locations haters might frequent.
😂😂 haha these are excellent ideas
I’m surprised this was useful for anyone. I thought if someone wanted to keep track of something or need a space for something specific they would just grab a notebook and do it. But clearly this was helpful to so many, I’m boggled anyone would need to be told they can make a journal specific to anything they wanted……not sure if this sounds mean and not intentionally trying to sound rude, I’m genuinely surprised this is helpful for people
I mean, it does sound a bit rude 😅 one of the drawbacks of text-based communication I guess. But I’m glad it ~has~ been helpful for a good chunk of people 😊 people have different needs, and I know I’m the type of person who finds an ideas list helpful, even if in ~theory~ I could have figured things out myself 💜
You may not have the intention of sounding rude, but sometimes the words that are used in a comment can be perceived as either offensive or insulting.
In response to your comment regarding the video itself, I would say it’s NOT a matter of anyone “needing to be told” they can make a journal of whatever they want - clearly that’s a given. However, for those of us with many many notebooks and different types of journals, we sometimes can’t think of any other ways to utilize any empty notebooks…which is where videos like THIS come in handy! For example, I know I personally wouldn’t have thought of ALOT of these ideas on my own! Therefore, I’m extremely grateful for these types of videos with a ton of ideas! ❤
I cant see whag ur Writing
That’s mainly why I talk through each of the ideas 😊 but this video also has a free printable list of the ideas in the description box too 👌

Nothing suits me.
