Omg, I love the tip-in Dutch door. You could also cut the tip-in in half and put a header on the page. It's like having 2 pages worth of info on a single page. Genius.
I'm new to Dutch doors, but I definitely prefer the vertical weeklies. I fold the middle of the second page and just cut the top and bottom off so I can see everything at once.
I haven’t used a Dutch door in my journal because it’s my first year. I do wanna try new things so, I am gonna try a Dutch door in my Feb set up. Thi year is gonna be like the exploring spreads year, so I can see what spreads I like and dislike.
I, love, your, Dutch door, layouts. I, have been, bullet journaling, since, January and I’m addicted. I’ve, watched, hundreds of videos and have done 3, Dutch doors, already. I, have, an old diary and use that, to do , a practice, run. I, used, to do, altered books, where, I, did, do, Dutch door, layouts, but, didn’t know, that’s, what, they, were called. My, creative juices, are, going into, overdrive.
I only just started using dutch door layouts. I have one planned out for march that I'm excited too use. I've only done vertical, so so far that's my favorite layout. Lol
I've been using vertical Dutch doors since August, with a larger door?flap that acts as both bookmark and extra information space. I fit 7 1.5 inch vertical's on two pages with space for a notes & doodles column. For October I'm going to test the horizontal with a weekly info - calendar on the top and daily doors on the lower half of the page. Currently working out which style will benefit my visual processing style for information that I need to keep track of. Bonus exploring different styles is fun. Ps, I glue down my doors.
Have you ever thought of doing a flip top Dutch door? You take the top of the page and glue it to the top. You can do this in the middle or corner. You score or bend the top of the page so the top flips up without bending your whole page. A flip top Dutch door is good for taking notes r writing ideas or thought down about the page under it. Without having to take up a whole nother page. Or a calendar, monthly or weekly to do list, or index at a glance as well. Or just notes in general.
I’ve found if you leave a one square on the horizontal Dutch door cutout then stick it down. It can help you feel safer that the pages aren’t going to fall out.
I wouldn’t necessary call me a bullet journalist - as much as a type A planner! I couldn’t find a planner the way I wanted so I started my own this year. I just wanted to say you inspired me sooo much! I adore your channel and have definitely used some of your ideas. I wish I was artistic like you! Now I want to use Dutch doors! I haven’t yet because 1) I just started and 2 my month already takes so many pages, I don’t know how many journals I would go through in a year if I used Dutch doors for my weeklies! I have to think about a way to use them in my annual spreads when I start a new journal!
Jashii, thank you so much for these videos. I am using a bullet journal for the first time this year, and your content has helped me elevate my practice and generate ideas. I appreciate you!
I haven't used Dutch doors yet, but I like the folded idea for beginners or in my case I would cut too much or crooked...lol. If I was to set up a Dutch door I prefer vertical.
Yes. I love Dutch doors. Usually vertical for the same reason that horizontal makes you nervous. Lol. I think it makes for more space in certain weeks when I need it.
I uaed a vertical dutch door with tabs. I used them for the future log, movies watched, books read, and tv watched. I LOVE IT! i have used them for weeklys before as well.
Hello, Jess! I haven't used Dutch doors because the pages in my notebook had some... alignment issues, lol (by the time I bought it, the brand was the one and only where I live). Now they made several improvements I guess I could give it a try.
I’ve experimented with Dutch doors, but I seem to prefer the spreads that don’t use them. I get annoyed at not being able to see everything at once. I might revisit them on a busy week though :)
This was gorgeous! I've used Dutch doors in my journals before, but not much. I found this video because I want to try it again for my June '21 layouts. Now I want to find your other Dutch door videos.
i have made a similar style, but the dutch door is where i put the small calendar, events and my shopping list for the week on both sides, i might try one of these though! they look really nice.
I really liked that first vertical layout. I might need to make it on my spare notebook to remember it. I'm not big on planning these myself, but I really loved these ideas. It also made me realise I use the tip-in dutch door in my planner a few times for packing lists and extra to-do's and every month for "anxiety notes" of payments due and bills.
I've never done a weekly dutch door before, I've used them in the beginning of my journal but I worry that I might have too much space if I do a weekly one haha.
your dutch door layout for the last week of february is my favorite! i've used that style multiple times through the years and it's what i stick to most consistently
I have a horizontal dutch door set up I'm waiting to use for my ring planner - it's combo of weekly and daily though! I currently use weekly layouts, but when my son starts school I suspect I'll need some extra planning space. 😅
I prefer the vertical Dutch doors for sure. I usually use them when I want to track time (for work) in my weeklies, so each week day has half a page and the weekends end up being a quarter page. Also, this theme is so good! I love the stencil part. So much easier than trying to draw the hexagons over and over again! lol
Jess, this was one of my absolute favorite videos you have ever done! I adore the yellow color and I LOVE Dutch doors - I’ve tried both styles but definitely prefer vertical! 💛. These are really awesome!
I bullet journal in a Hobonichi planner, so I can’t just cut away part of a page, but I used Dutch doors several times when I was using a notebook. I’ve not had much success with them though - maybe I burnt myself out in creating them and lost motivation after that? If I was going to try again though, definitely vertical!
This theme is so cute! I don't really use dutch doors, as I don't need that much room for each day, and also am trying to conserve space in my bullet journal!
I haven't used a Dutch door in my journal -- yet. I feel very tempted after this video! The tip-in Dutch door sounds great, as well as the vertical. I'm not too fond of the look of the horizontal... plus I always feel like cutting part of a page is like wasting paper, but if you get to use it again, then it's not so bad 😅 Thanks for this inspiring video (and no, I haven't set-up February yet. I'll do it tomorrow 😉)
Haha hope your February setup goes well! 😄 I typically use any of the left over paper for covering mistakes in my journal 👌 handy to keep the extra paper in the pocket at the back 😛
Great video! I will definitely try out all of these spreads😊 my question: could you do a notion tour? I'm really into notion now and I would like to see how you organise your life with notion
Trying it for the first time this month ^^ Looking forward to it - but weird as my entire February is on 4 double spreads - frontpage, goals, food logs, habits, my writing projects ad tasks + all the individual dailies.
Dutch doors always look so extremely great and cool and they're useful and even simple ones like these (i.e. with no more complicated shapes cut out and decorations) add a very interesting element, but it always seems to me as such a waste of paper to just cut part of the page off lol. I know you can always use the remains, either in a layout like you did here, or just to save them for possible corrections in the journal or just to take notes on them or whatever, BUT STILL! :D. So no, I don't think I would ever use them lol. (also I don't think I would find any use for them except of adding decorative element so...)
I love the color yellow that you use in this spread, it's cheery and vibrant without being so bright and overbearing like yellow sometimes is. I did a dutch door tab system for my yearly trackers at the beginning of my bullet journal and I love how they look. I don't need so much space in my weeklies so I've only done dutch doors as a whole monthly set up and I like to put my to do list in the section that's visible no matter which pages are flipped so that I can see it every day.
i use faux dutch doors quite a bit but i've only ever used a proper dutch door once in my 6 years of bujo-ing. it's in my current one, in my future log - the same idea you talked about where you do a horizontal dutch door so you only have to write the header once
@@JashiiCorrin i fully got the idea from you! i even linked your video in the description of my own 2021 buju setup video! so thank you for the inspiration xx
What a fun video! Love all the ideas. I haven’t used Dutch doors before because I use dailies instead of weeklies, but I cut the pages of my bujo for the first time as part of my yearly setup. Oh the anxiety, but happily I love it! Quick question-love the handled sponge thing you use with the stencil to ink the hexagonal design. Where did you find it?
I found that if I don't use a Dutch door in my weekly/daily-hybrid I inevitably run out of space or at least fear this, leading me to not use my bujo at all. So I always do Dutch door spreads. I have used all of these but found that horizontal only works if its less than 2 pages. If it's more I get annoyed at the frayed paper or lose pages of my journal.
Fair enough! I mostly only use them when I do need space, though sometimes if I’m approaching the end of a journal and have some extra room, I’ll use them then too 😛
I just absolutely love your spreads. I was and still am following #amandarachlee, but I am also following you now. I love her way of explaining things, and how she is always talking about current events in the world, or just having a chill day with us. But I love the spreads you come up with. I just wish you would go slower cause I feel like I have to pause the video a lot to pull inspiration from your videos. ❣💖💗
I've never cut a Dutch door and I am not sure that I really want to. I fear that their will be a bump in my journal and make other full pages harder to write on/draw on. But if someone who uses Dutch doors can tell me if this is a real problem or not that would be handy and maybe I'll give one a go sometime in my current journal.
I worry that as I move through the journal, pages will start to be uneven/lumpy as a result of missing layers below on the left. How do you find that affects your writing and use?
There certainly is a little of that, but for this series of Dutch doors, as the cut section isn't in the same place each time, it's not as much of an issue. When you have multiple subsequent Dutch doors that are all in the same place, that makes the ridge quite noticeable 😅💜 In those cases I'll sometimes try and slip something underneath the page I'm working on to give me a flatter surface
I personally couldn't care less about cutting my journal, but I strive to optimise space and cutting off a piece of the page makes me have less of it, so I end up never doing it
Omg, I love the tip-in Dutch door. You could also cut the tip-in in half and put a header on the page. It's like having 2 pages worth of info on a single page. Genius.
Because of seeing all the ideas with dutch doors I have decided to start using them. The way you did them was inspiring!

wi love the ideas. i have never used a dutch door PREVIOUSLY, but i will be using them now!
I have used an added sheet at one side that folded out or at the top that folded up. You are very neat with your craftsmanship.
I, love, your, Dutch door, layouts. I, have been, bullet journaling, since, January and I’m addicted. I’ve, watched, hundreds of videos and have done 3, Dutch doors, already.

Have not seen the tippin Dutch door. Will have to play with that. Thanks!
Yay, I’m glad the video showed you something new 😄 that’s always my aim! 💜

I make videos and I would love some support 💕
I might wanna add in a Dutch door weekly in my bujo! Thanks for the idea!
Same here ^-^

I've never used dutch doors before, but I plan to in April. I'm just going to be doing vertical ones though. These will be helpful.
I haven't used Dutch doors yet, but I like the folded idea for beginners or in my case I would cut too much or crooked...lol.
If I was to set up a Dutch door I prefer vertical.
Before I switched to a B6 size journal instead of an A5 I used a horizontal dutch door for a monthly habit tracker with weekly (4/5ths) spreads below.
That october setup was such a fabulous idea!!
Thanks! 😄💜 I think the black washi tape on those ones also sold it for me 👌 #teamcontrast
Yes. I love Dutch doors. Usually vertical for the same reason that horizontal makes you nervous. Lol. I think it makes for more space in certain weeks when I need it.
Agreed! I was really lucky with how my horizontal one turned out to be honest 😛 very convenient placement!
I love that honeycomb! Especially with the yellow and the way you use it.
I uaed a vertical dutch door with tabs. I used them for the future log, movies watched, books read, and tv watched. I LOVE IT! i have used them for weeklys before as well.

Ooo I hate it when that happens! So annoying when you’re trying to make a double page layout and things don’t line up 😅💜
I’ve experimented with Dutch doors, but I seem to prefer the spreads that don’t use them. I get annoyed at not being able to see everything at once. I might revisit them on a busy week though :)
This was gorgeous! I've used Dutch doors in my journals before, but not much. I found this video because I want to try it again for my June '21 layouts. Now I want to find your other Dutch door videos.
I should have them linked in the video description if that helps 😄💜
@@JashiiCorrin it does. I found them. 🙂
I generally like to see a whole week at a time on my weekly spreads, but you're horizontal DD is tempting to try! :-)
i have made a similar style, but the dutch door is where i put the small calendar, events and my shopping list for the week on both sides, i might try one of these though! they look really nice.

I like both vertical and horisontal dutch door for weekly, and horisontal for budget, period tracker and other stuff.
I'd like to try number four.
love how neat and tidy your pages are - tfs
your dutch door layout for the last week of february is my favorite! i've used that style multiple times through the years and it's what i stick to most consistently

I love this for student planning👍🏼
i love these videos so much!
I love your videos - they are so informative! I did my first dutch door tonight - the folding kind. I hope I like it as much as I think I will!
These are really creative! Thank you for sharing!
I love Dutch doors. Can't wait to use them again! Xx

Thanks Veronique! 😄💜 I'm from Melbourne!
Great video! I will definitely try out all of these spreads😊 my question: could you do a notion tour? I'm really into notion now and I would like to see how you organise your life with notion
I’ve got a notion basics video coming out on Thursday and then a look at my Notion pages next week 😄
Very nice! I do digital planning and the one thing that I cant do that I wish I could do is Dutch doors. They are so fun.
Yeah I guess without repeating the part you have visible for both an open or closed Dutch door, isn’t really a good way to do them digitally 🤔
Trying it for the first time this month ^^
Looking forward to it - but weird as my entire February is on 4 double spreads - frontpage, goals, food logs, habits, my writing projects ad tasks + all the individual dailies.
Definitely doing one of these dutch door spreads in a few months 😍 i love the first one
