My favourite day of the school year. We went to Central Park Pharmacy and picked out a new pencil, eraser and ruler. This all went into a Moirs chocolate box. We were in elementary school and i am still “best friends” with that girl, 60 years later.
I STILL love school supplies! I’m an adjunct professor and I use that as an excuse to buy school supplies every August. I ❤️ pens, paper, notebooks, journals and stationery
I JUST purchased 2 new notebooks and I swear I opened them in front of my friend and said smell this...THIS is hope, dreams and order all wrapped up in one...they looked at me like they were going to Cher slap me and tell me to "Snapouttaofit". AND then I come here and see this opening. GOD IS GOOD ThankYouVeryMuch!...walks away...
I'm not really sure if this comment will be helpful to anyone at all but you've reached out and TOUCHED my soul with this video ahhaha. I started getting into BUJO back in 2016. After being extremely caught up in the aesthetics of it all -except for the lavender-drawing sprees, which I never got into-, I've managed to find what works for me. I usually work from home, so I have a dated planner for all things work-related and then a bullet journal for "adulting" stuff. Sometimes I do lettering, sometimes I use a ballpoint pen and two mildliners. Other times I cover pages in stickers. We're so used to sharing everything that sometimes we limit ourselves when it comes to bujo, despite the fact that the system is all about what works for EACH PERSON. Don't get me wrong! I'm not anti "ART". In fact, my january spread had Tamagotchi's painted with Posca hahaha It's just that I try not to pressure myself. And after all, despite documenting and logging things, we should all remember to be kind to ourselves. Am I making some type of sense here? hahaha Anyway, if you've gotten this far, thank you
I love your representation of bullet journaling - very real and approachable. i have used the bujo system since 2015 and it makes me so frustrated when people tell me they "can't" use a bujo because they're "not artistic" like omfg it's a system for taking notes, it has NOTHING to do with twee decor and doodles! Ofcourse it is fun to decorate your notes, but please do not be afraid of bujo for these reasons, it's just a system for note-taking.
I’ve never heard of a bullet Journal. I’m a habitual over thinker who gets overwhelmed QUICKLY! I think this would be a great way to organize my thoughts, goals, and express myself. love this!
I'm extremely new to your channel, but YOUR VIBES. I normally can't watch 2020 planning because oh lord were we all soooo naive, but I'm obsessed with how practical yet fun and positive yet real you are. THANK YOU and I can't wait to watch literally everything you produce.
"I use Google Calendar and... it's just better" 😂 Yeah I feel you, i use my ical to future log events. Dropping the parts of the bujo that I found useless helped me actually start using it consistently... as a genuinely useful tool. Thanks so much for an honest bujo vid about how you use it, enjoyed it 😁
This video was so timely! You just kicked the door open on something that's been blocking my bullet journal success- collages! Talk about saving time while still looking pretty and unique. I find myself denoting my creative energy to getting the lettering just right and not putting pen to paper and getting these tasks done and these goals accomplished. Thank you for highlighting collages as the perfect work around!
I love bullet journals in theory, especially the hybrid journal/planner ability but I realized I’m too particular to be free styling 😂. I think my new happy medium is the Hobonichi cousin
Idk if it's an anthem but my over arching mantra/phrase for the year is "This year is all about me! Do the things that best serve my highest good!" I tend to get lost in other people's needs and wants and expectations of me. This year is my refocus. Also, I spit when you said "do you need a nap fam" because I'm watching this while I'm supposed to be napping
evelyn i love you!!!! i've been bujo-ing for about 2 years too and a lot of the times i get hung up on making it pretty to the point where my journal loses its purpose. "it don't have to be cute" is honestly going to be my anthem for this year now. thank you for this video!!!!!!!!!!
Great video! My mantra for the year is... "In order to be chosen, you must first chose yourself." Your content falls in line with that mantra, as it's all about investing in myself, so thanks.
I just started a bullet journal this year! I was so intimidated by all the spreads and art but it’s actually so freeing to change up each month and not have to feel guilty about empty pages. I used to love making collages so I think I’ll add some in like you did. Thanks for the inspiration!
I cannot believe. This touched my Virgo moon in a way I can’t describe. Literally every section was perfect and I would use in my own journal. Really! I love journaling and planning in general, have always done the pretty notes thing. But this is really speaking to me on another level so specific. Thank u for this
Great 👍🏾 ideas! My anthem this year is Self Care! I too get overwhelmed especially with work. At work we find out about deadlines at the last minute or priorities change. I brought: a neck and shoulder massager to work, plants, a tabletop fountain, a Himalayan salt lamp, essential oils, and pictures of nature. I am a teacher. I think this can work in other professions.
I am going to try to do a sound bath. After stressful moments at work I took a little walk to a coffee shop on my break and the fresh air was nice...now I will be more purposeful with my stress relievers.
I don't know how I have missed your channel up to this point, but I shall miss no more. I came for the bullet journal video, but I'm staying for everything else!
First, I would like to state that your bullet journey, the things u add to it, for me, is no different than what I write in my sorta daily journal. However, thank you for sharing 😊. Secondly, my anthem for this year, in which I agreed on minutes before watching this video, is 'Be Present'. With all I've been up to, living, what I consider, my best life last year; going out alone to the movies or for coffee, seeing plays on Broadway, meditating and healing, this only seemed like the perfect choice. All I did last year was in hope of living outside my head, outside my imagination. So, yeah, that's my anthem for 2020 😁
I really hope Evelyn had fun starting this book. That she at least got some joy out of the process considering that everybody's plans went completely out the window in March.
Thank you!! THANK 👏🏽 YOU 👏🏽! I've been wanting to try Bullet Journaling for awhile now, but would feel overwhelmed trying to figure out where to start and how to come up with creative ideas & layouts anytime one of my friends would try to explain it. Love it!
I absolutely love your energy and your style and vibe... I just felt all. of. that. I love seeing a realistic bullet journal that is still cute but also FUNCTIONAL!
To mark tasks i've started but have not finished yet, I just use a diagonal (as in, half of the cross you draw when it's completed). This way, once I'm finished I just completely cross it out and it's done :-) Idk if anyone cares, but I think it's nice and clean lol
Hello Internet Prima, I just want to say you have been a Godsend. As I been following you for like four years now you inspired me so much, that you inspired me to create a vision board last year and get an anthem. I have been dealing with so much anxiety in the last half of 2019 because I been going through a professional and personal transition but you again gave so much perspective that you are now on my 2020 vision board. Last year my anthem was Juice by Lizzo. This year it's between "I like that" by Janelle Monae and "Survivor" by Destiney Child.
You inspired me to add a "Check it out" page myself! I'm calling it "You owe it to yourself to check it out!" after the line in "Brand New Day" from *The Wiz*
Girl I just found your channel thanks to me starting to bullet journal this year and I love your personality. I love how u don’t just read what’s on the page you actually talk to us like we are actually there, the video doesn’t feel rushed!!!! I hate when people are like reading from a script and u don’t!!!! And I love that! Girl I’m subscribing 😁
I dove into the bullet journal world here on TH-cam some time ago and your video is the most relatable by far. Love the “Life Admin/Reset” spread! I will be adopting that one in my journal
Today’s my birthday and my sister brought me a journal. I’m gonna go ham when I get the time. I’m so excited 😆 This video came at the right time. Talk about alignment 🤯
Until now, I though these were stupid/I was intimidated by the drawing. But now, I cannot wait to make onnnnnne! These are all the things I need. So thank you for your service. 🧘🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️
Love this and love you! I just ordered a Happy Planner because I'm tired of drawing my own spreads and I also like that you can move the pages around but watching Happy Planner videos makes me feel like I'm getting sucked into a cult, so this was refreshing and real to watch.
I've been Bullet Journaling for >3 years now and there's always something new to see! I really liked your Reset/Life Admin page. And I'm with you about using little bits of color and so on to"imitate art." (I think that's what you called it.)
Argh I need to start using my bullet journal properly!!! I've gotten so lazy with it and it used to be such a grounding excersis to do my monthly layout. You have inspired me! Thank you Evelyn 💜
This is a bit random, but have you ever considered getting locs? I have a lot of hair and before I got locs in December I would hate dealing with it and would go an embarrassing amount of time without washing or detangling it during my depressive episodes. It’s way less stress now. Also, I just started a bullet journal this week! A bit intimidating but functional.
Kaylan Freeman I have! I’m currently growing out an undercut and it’s been the worst!! I don’t have super thick hair so that’s why I’m hesitant to loc my hair 😩
You made it look so doable 😊 I stopped mine because I focused to much on my (lacking) artistic skills. But the way you are doing it looks simple yet effective. I'm starting tonight!
That's a good point, maybe I can start incorporating it a little. I kept it simple with just "collaging" for now. I've spent all evening on setting it up and planning stuff, so happy I started again!
My absolute favorite video so far!! School supplies? Pens? 🖐🏼🖐🏼🖐🏼😆 all of this! So relatable. And I can’t wait to check out this glorious crevasse of TH-cam you speak of!
The Life Admin/Reset page is awesome. Will add that to my journal. Thank you. There are lots of great planner stencils on Etsy for those of us with limited artistic talent. Lol
You know, lightbulbs went off in my head when you mentioned school supply shopping. Cuz you're right. I loved picking out my school supplies then, and bullet journelling gives me so much peace now lol.
I heavily dislike Bullet journaling. Because I 👏🏾 don’t 👏🏾 have 👏🏾 time 👏🏾 for 👏🏾 that!! BUT what I do have time for is a new Evelyn video! On any topic!
Shout out to today's sponsor HelloFresh! 🥑🍔 What should my *anthem* be for 2020? Hit me with your suggestions.
Evelyn From The Internets *_u goin to turks & caicos tomorrow! have fun!_*
I love the scrapbook feel. Now I want to make a bullet journal for this year and I am using a planner
I'm really liking everything coming from the Birds of Prey soundtrack rn! Boss B**ch by Doja Cat feels very anthem-y to me!
@@hellokittied thanks! ima be that annoying friend doing work on the beach but i'm still excited!!
Anthem: Get Ready - Lady Wray
Knuck if you Buck is always a good anthem.
"If you liked school supplies as a kid..." I felt that.
My favourite day of the school year. We went to Central Park Pharmacy and picked out a new pencil, eraser and ruler. This all went into a Moirs chocolate box. We were in elementary school and i am still “best friends” with that girl, 60 years later.
I felt it deep 😭
I STILL love school supplies! I’m an adjunct professor and I use that as an excuse to buy school supplies every August. I ❤️ pens, paper, notebooks, journals and stationery
Yass
I JUST purchased 2 new notebooks and I swear I opened them in front of my friend and said smell this...THIS is hope, dreams and order all wrapped up in one...they looked at me like they were going to Cher slap me and tell me to "Snapouttaofit". AND then I come here and see this opening. GOD IS GOOD ThankYouVeryMuch!...walks away...

^^^^ THIS!
Isn't it fun to see what we all THOUGHT we'd be doing in 2020
ahh man! *cries in dashed dreams*
*_if this was anybody else, i wouldn’t have sat through the whole video._*
SAME!
LITERALLY same.
💯
Yup!
I feel you
I’ve never heard of a bullet
Journal. I’m a habitual over thinker who gets overwhelmed QUICKLY! I think this would be a great way to organize my thoughts, goals, and express myself. love this!
Because of you I made 1! I’m not done decorating but it came out nice😊btw I love your videos. They’re so soothing & relaxing
I'm extremely new to your channel, but YOUR VIBES. I normally can't watch 2020 planning because oh lord were we all soooo naive, but I'm obsessed with how practical yet fun and positive yet real you are. THANK YOU and I can't wait to watch literally everything you produce.

This is the first time bullet journaling has felt fun and inviting rather than unattainable! You da best!!
This video was so timely! You just kicked the door open on something that's been blocking my bullet journal success- collages! Talk about saving time while still looking pretty and unique. I find myself denoting my creative energy to getting the lettering just right and not putting pen to paper and getting these tasks done and these goals accomplished. Thank you for highlighting collages as the perfect work around!
"If you liked school supplies as a kid...if you like pens."
I feel seen.
I like this focus on "doesnt need to be perfect, dont need to buy a bajillion things"
No pressure. Please if you can do video explaining bullet journal. I wanna hear it from u.
you have artistic ability
rewatching & 'baby girl can't. too much. like she don’t want to" is still sending meeeee
I'm so adopting the in progress/flux marker
That notebook asmr was everything to me. Also love bullet journalling
I love bullet journals in theory, especially the hybrid journal/planner ability but I realized I’m too particular to be free styling 😂. I think my new happy medium is the Hobonichi cousin
closer goapele is my anthem
"Ain't nothing but a podcast" had me ROLLING. Can that be my anthem?
Your love of journals gives me life.
Idk if it's an anthem but my over arching mantra/phrase for the year is "This year is all about me! Do the things that best serve my highest good!" I tend to get lost in other people's needs and wants and expectations of me. This year is my refocus.

Omg I love your sense of humor. You are definitely my kind of person. Thank you for the smiles and laughter
Great video! My mantra for the year is... "In order to be chosen, you must first chose yourself." Your content falls in line with that mantra, as it's all about investing in myself, so thanks.

"If I'm feeling overwhelmed, which is FREQUENT!". I felt that one.
Great 👍🏾 ideas! My anthem this year is Self Care! I too get overwhelmed especially with work. At work we find out about deadlines at the last minute or priorities change.

Thank you for sharing your process/system! I appreciate how REAL you are with your journal and your art - I LOVE it!
i love how long this video 📹 was...
i love how seeing sum1 else get organized, gave me so much inspiration to get organized...📩📚📒📔📕🖊🖋🖌📑🎨
I don't know how I have missed your channel up to this point, but I shall miss no more. I came for the bullet journal video, but I'm staying for everything else!
thank you for filming this close up. I have 54 year old eyes and several bullet journal youtube folks work it so small and far away. thank you!
First, I would like to state that your bullet journey, the things u add to it, for me, is no different than what I write in my sorta daily journal. However, thank you for sharing 😊. Secondly, my anthem for this year, in which I agreed on minutes before watching this video, is 'Be Present'.

That “Life Admin/Reset” page is genius 💡
Yes quote! “In being, you are bold” Love 💕
Absolutely brilliant! Perfect way to keep in touch with yourself and be accountable
I feel like you just MarieKondo your life in a journal and I somehow was mesmerized by it. I'm gonna buy a journal now, you just inspired me!
I really hope Evelyn had fun starting this book. That she at least got some joy out of the process considering that everybody's plans went completely out the window in March.
Thank you!! THANK 👏🏽 YOU 👏🏽! I've been wanting to try Bullet Journaling for awhile now, but would feel overwhelmed trying to figure out where to start and how to come up with creative ideas & layouts anytime one of my friends would try to explain it. Love it!
"The paper doesn't even match. Lord Jesus." Yes, yes. Yours is the content I want to see on the internets. Thank you for being you.
I'm going to borrow your admin page. Perfect!
I absolutely love your energy and your style and vibe... I just felt all. of. that. I love seeing a realistic bullet journal that is still cute but also FUNCTIONAL!
I’m Impressed. I’ve always been intimidated by bullet journals but this has made me believe I can
To mark tasks i've started but have not finished yet, I just use a diagonal (as in, half of the cross you draw when it's completed). This way, once I'm finished I just completely cross it out and it's done :-) Idk if anyone cares, but I think it's nice and clean lol
YES!!!! That Avant video link was everything!!!!
Loved your video . . . Your work, your personality, your wisdom, your humor. Thanks! I’m newly inspired.
Yes a fellow black bullet journaler!
I love AmandaRachlee too!

This is so on time for me!!!! Thank you! I’m learning every day!! Continued blessings!!

Your videos just make me feel better, no matter how down in the dumps I am. Thank you.
10+ years on YT, and I finally found a channel that gets me.
This minimal bullet journal resonates with me the most of all the simple layouts I've seen. Plus it's so cute! 🧡
I dove into the bullet journal world here on TH-cam some time ago and your video is the most relatable by far. Love the “Life Admin/Reset” spread! I will be adopting that one in my journal
Girl, you’re so positive I literally saw the bad vibes walk out my front door! Love your energy ❤️
Today’s my birthday and my sister brought me a journal. I’m gonna go ham when I get the time. I’m so excited 😆 This video came at the right time. Talk about alignment 🤯
I really appreciate your humor and your videos. Thank you
Yes, ma'am with the Avant reference!!
Until now, I though these were stupid/I was intimidated by the drawing. But now, I cannot wait to make onnnnnne! These are all the things I need. So thank you for your service. 🧘🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️
Love this! Yes come to the PNW!
Please do an update or quartly bojo planning!
Your hand modelling in future log is giving me 2020 LIFE
Love this and love you! I just ordered a Happy Planner because I'm tired of drawing my own spreads and I also like that you can move the pages around but watching Happy Planner videos makes me feel like I'm getting sucked into a cult, so this was refreshing and real to watch.
I love bullet journaling. I have 3 going this year.
I've been Bullet Journaling for >3 years now and there's always something new to see! I really liked your Reset/Life Admin page. And I'm with you about using little bits of color and so on to"imitate art." (I think that's what you called it.)
“Go to bed”
That. That is what I came for. I’m out ✌🏼
Hope u have a gud sleep
Jessica Pitchford rest well! 💜
I hated school supplies so I'm just going to watch you do it 💯❤
I used to be so good at bullet journaling and fell off. This gave me motivation to start again.
I just adore you and love all that you do. Your videos bring me joy.
This whole video brought me life! I've been wanting to bullet journal but couldn't really find what would work for me until now! TY EVELYN!!!
Your channel just makes me so happy
This is my fave bullet journal video I have watched in ages. ❤️
Big Freedia. Pick a track. They are all SEVERE bops.
I appreciate how "this is the art." I love that. It took me a week to finish my doodles for the month. We'll see if I use it though amen! Ha ha ha!
💕this...I've seen plenty of videos on bullet journals, and this has been one of simplest, yet inspiring ones I've seen. Thank you!
You are just a BREATH of fresh air. You are absolutely lovely and thank you for this wonderful video.
You are soooo freaking funny I love your humor so much. One of my favorite youtubers!!
These videos really inspire me to approach adulting stuff with excitement instead of dread so thank you!
Also. Shout out to you for this video. I'm glad to find a bullet journeler who cant draw
Argh I need to start using my bullet journal properly!!! I've gotten so lazy with it and it used to be such a grounding excersis to do my monthly layout. You have inspired me! Thank you Evelyn 💜
"it don't have to be cute". BEST ADVICE EVER.
I absolutely love this idea. Never heard of a bullet journal but I will be trying it soon !
Caught that “read your mind” reference loud and clear!! 😂
This is a bit random, but have you ever considered getting locs? I have a lot of hair and before I got locs in December I would hate dealing with it and would go an embarrassing amount of time without washing or detangling it during my depressive episodes. It’s way less stress now. Also, I just started a bullet journal this week! A bit intimidating but functional.
Kaylan Freeman I have! I’m currently growing out an undercut and it’s been the worst!! I don’t have super thick hair so that’s why I’m hesitant to loc my hair 😩
Too bold // shingai is my anthem for this year
You made it look so doable 😊 I stopped mine because I focused to much on my (lacking) artistic skills. But the way you are doing it looks simple yet effective. I'm starting tonight!
Oh that's tough. I like reframing mine as "doodle practice" otherwise if I'm Arting, perfectionist talk gets real loud in my head.
That's a good point, maybe I can start incorporating it a little. I kept it simple with just "collaging" for now. I've spent all evening on setting it up and planning stuff, so happy I started again!
My absolute favorite video so far!! School supplies? Pens? 🖐🏼🖐🏼🖐🏼😆 all of this! So relatable. And I can’t wait to check out this glorious crevasse of TH-cam you speak of!
Never heard of it but I need it in my life.
The Life Admin/Reset page is awesome. Will add that to my journal. Thank you. There are lots of great planner stencils on Etsy for those of us with limited artistic talent. Lol
You know, lightbulbs went off in my head when you mentioned school supply shopping. Cuz you're right. I loved picking out my school supplies then, and bullet journelling gives me so much peace now lol.
DOWN FOR SCHOOL SUPPLY SHOPPING... ALWAYS!!!!!
I heavily dislike Bullet journaling. Because I 👏🏾 don’t 👏🏾 have 👏🏾 time 👏🏾 for 👏🏾 that!! BUT what I do have time for is a new Evelyn video! On any topic!
