I’m sorry but I caught a bit of your journal saying people are leaving negative comments and it’s weighing on you. What is WRONG with people!!?? If you can’t say anything nice…hello! Please pay zero attention to them. I know it’s near impossible for INFJ’s to not internalize mean people but please do not take those to believe you aren’t doing enough or making amazing videos. YOU ARE. IGNORE THOSE A-HOLES. I would say you’re channel is the best planning channel on YT. Period!❤❤❤

I wish I had your imagination and creativity!! I have ADHD and no imagination, shy and introvert...but I'm trying!! I look at a blank page and feel overwhelmed..I wish I could see it like you do. Maybe one day. But mine may not be as pretty and imaginative as yours, but at least I'm trying and maybe one day I can let loose and create. See just the thot of that makes me nervous inside!! lol!! You do such great spreads..really love them. Thank you for all your ideas.

Loved watching this! Structured pages are also brilliant for when you're short on time or for ADHD. I'm super creative & definitely not a beginner 😂 but when it comes to planners I can struggle to find enough time, and having sections make me procrastinate less and get them filled. Thank you for sharing, your journals inspire me.

Where are those cute pink flowers from? This was a very helpful video. I miss your more frequent video posts but understand. ADHD is a curse but also a gift. It makes you who you are. Try to embrace it and focus on the positives. You are not alone. Our brains are so busy, it's exhausting. It's like a never ceasing pinball game is going on. BUT, I rather have a busy chaotic life than a robotic boring life. Embrace it! Give yourself grace! Do what's right for you. Enjoy your channel so much, it's never boring!

I have been going back through your journaling videos for the past few days as I have tried to get started for years! I have now started, using an old Happy Planner, and am loving it. I'm a vertical planner, and find that best for me currently. This may change over time, but I'm going with what works for now so I keep the momentum going. Thank you so much for all your inspiration. You are amazing!!!

I like the idea of using the dashboard to journal along with the guided journal page. So each week I would have one side of the dashboard and one side of the guided journal. That way I wouldn't have to glue pages together. I also like your idea of a weekly currently page. I never use the monthly currently because most things don't take a whole month for me. E.g. I would read a book or 2 a week; I would binge a series in a week...weekly currently makes more sense. I could transform each section (including days) in the dashboard into currently prompts, reviews/ ratings for the week. And for weeks when I want to get out of my head I can use the space as a diary. So much potential with the dashboard for journaling. This is also a way to use up my stash. Thanks for the inspo.😊

Love all these creative ideas & all your spreads. I did tried to do a bullet journal in 2019 but at the time I was taking care of my mommy (who had dementia (RIP) & that was hard.

I was inspired when you first started this earlier this year. I love it! I’ve used the guided journal, vertical, dashboard, and random filler paper. When I have more that I need to write, I have a section in the back for that. I’ve loved it! Thank you for this inspiration.

This video was extremely helpful for me. I use the dashboard lay-out for my daily to-do lists and a calendar to track my monthly bills. Sometimes I struggle with deciding on the perfect lay-out for my daily journal. I write every day and using a variety of lay outs would work best for my daily journal. Youve given me so great ideas for personalizing the prompted planners because I don't like the repetitiveness of the writing prompts and need more freedom to decorate. Thanks!

@Alexis-jr7jc Жыл бұрын

With so many layout options it helps to see how you use them. It's nice that you're open enough not to just use what you're comfortable with, but work on trying out other things that could be better or worse and giving your honest opinion of it. 😁

I am so appreciative of this video. I know you are here sharing spreads but every once and a while a few bits of your writing would draw my attention. I always thought I was alone in how I felt/ struggled with adult ADHD, but some of the bits I caught made me feel “included” if you will. Daily life can be so hard and overwhelming, and I just want you to know that I appreciate you, and the content you make. It was so so nice to see someone I’ve followed for years, and had no idea you felt like this, put things I feel and think on the same paper I put them on. It’s so easy to get caught up in the mindset that everyone else has it together and you’re just in a constant spiral. I am so glad I watched this video this morning, not only have you inspired me to get back into my creative journal, but my overall outlook on the day is better. I have felt soooo alone lately and nobody understand when I try to explain the constant chaos I feel. It was nice to know someone else experiences these waves too. Thank you for what you do! Sending love to you and Bumble! ❤

I just bought a bunch of stuff to start planning/journaling. Does that have a name? Not Bullet Journaling or bujo necessarily. Just journaling in your planner....planning and journaling? Pla-jo? Plajo? LOL (or is that exactly the same as bullet journaling...even if you don't use bullets?) Well I'm a bit worried that my journaling will end up being a bunch of stuff I'm sad or upset about and will end up looking like an existential crisis or something XD And political stuff is just full of garbage with too many people buying into ideologies. Makes it hard to talk to anyone nowadays. But I am going to give Plajo a try. Yeah, I know it's not a word, lol.....but it could be XD
