SALUTATIONS 🖖🏻
I am lauren and I am a 4th year PhD student 🥴 I talk a lot about grad school, my planners, and navigating academia (and life in general) with obsessive compulsive disorder. I drink a lot of coffee and feel very passionately about organization, true crime, and french fries. Hope you will join me on my journey!

Great video. Where did you get the little clear pouches from?
this was such a nice video Lauren! thanks for sharing 🩷
Also, I absolutely adore the kraft sticker notes from TCMC--I am such a sucker for kraft paper <3
Yay video! This is a great idea, I love pen pouches! Also the design of TCMC is so good! I’m also having a renewed love for muji pens 🤩
OKAYYYY PARTNERSHIP video! 1) get the bag 2) necklace looks great on you. i just got a delfonics pouch and you gave me some great ideas for packing it/organizing - i have so many pencilboards and also hate using them - on the go cutting mat is genius! off to shove more bits and bobs in my TCMC folders :) as always - grateful for your bravery in sharing parts of yourself with us in the online void. - long time listener, first time caller, toronto girlie also loathing the CNE airshow
Great video
this is my second time watching this vid and i came back to say i think it subconsciously influenced me LMAO. since i first got into bullet journaling/planning in a real way 5 or so years ago, i always used an A5. i am currently in a B6 after finishing my common planner at the end of june (the full year...lol.) and i have used a B6 last year too. so, i know i love A5 and can happily be in B6. but....for some reason....the N1 (tn/standard size) Common Planner has been calling to me. i've NEVER used this size before and my rational mind is like, "dude, just get an A5" but i absolutely cannot stop thinking about that size!! it doesn't help that i already have 7 A5 sterling ink notebooks so it feels like a waste of money to spend $60 on another A5 thing, lol. so i'm back watching this vid just to validate my own desires. love your vids as always Lauren! and congrats on making ABD 🎉
Lauren use peppermint oil on cotton balls !! It wont solve the larger issue but it’s a quick fix to keep them out of your most used rooms and areas. Hope it all works out. 💞💞💞💞
Hi! PhD student ~rising fifth year~ and also lacking motivation. I use travelers company TN in standard size to keep track of everything. Love your layout!
Love all the talk! Love books ocd stuff self help quotes… love. Keep doing it.
this is so good, might have to grab some of these ideas 😊😊
It’s not just u. When I did deep therapy years ago to process I got sooooo tired!
Thank you! So inspiring ❤
As a former New Yorker, I know ALL about mice, and I'm so sorry you're going through that. I know how stressful that can be, believe me.. If you know where he's coming from, plug the hole with steel wool.. if you are able, best bet is to always get a cat!!! Or if you have friends with a cat, gather some of their hair and place it around the areas where you saw the mice. If funds allow, call an exterminator. But nothing will ever beat a cat! LOL Amazing flip as always.. thank you so much for sharing, love the functional yet beautiful way you plan. :)
💯 to therapy being exhaustinggg. Mentally preparing is part of my process too 😅. Also: love parks and rec!!!
Lauren, how is the grid in freely noted compared to sterling ink planners? it seems like it's more solid and bigger?
Oh no! Wishing you all of the luck to solve your mouse problem.
A quote that i came up with almost 20 years ago due to my own ocd that has had such a profound meaning in my life is " NOTHING changes if NOTHING changes " and i know a million people have said it in the last decade so idek if its something that was said by someone whos words actually mean something but I tend to over analyze everything so this small saying having such a profound meaning to me means everything.... love when you post videos... especially about ocd and your tn setups because i also found tn size this year, and I am obsessed!!!
Love how much life your Hobonichi is capturing! Anytime I hear “A Little Life,” I sigh. Oh to be able to read that again for the first time 😭 Sometimes I just pick it up and hold it 😂🤦🏻♀️. See you tomorrow 🧡
Popcorn for Dinner Girlies unite!!!! Yes, I know it’s terrible. Won’t stop me tho lol.
I’m just starting the video but wanted to say how good it always is to see you pop up into my subscription feed and I hope you’re well. Also, I got my PMC freely noted and LOVE IT so far! I’m definitely going to check out their dated stuff for 2025 once it launches ( I hate preorders cuz I’m impatient lol). ❤
Yay always love a good flip! I had the exact same movie realization a few months ago lol
Hi! I love you videos 🫶🏻 may I ask where is your B6 freely noted cover from?
Did u stop using the CP b6?
Why did u go from a5 to b6
❤
Lauren,I'm so sorry you are dealing with mice! I will definitely be sending good vibes so that it gets resolved soon and you don't have to move. Thank you as always for sharing your planner and videos! I really dig the number stickers you used at the end of July on the dailies, where are those from? I also enjoy your insights on changing OCD habits. I recently saw the movie "Turtles all the way down" and it was very thought provoking (I'm sorry if you hate that movie's portrayal of OCD).
i always love seeing how you use your books! i hope the situation is solved soon. thank you for sharing! 🩷
omg I was literally just wishing for some good planner videos while I sit here and ruminate over my upcoming planner, journal, etc choices and this popped up! my favourite planner videos yay 😄
ooh i'm loving this so much! thanks for keeping me company during my overcast afternoon of planning :) I have a question - I've been trying to make mood boards in canva too but I'm never sure how to make them the correct size! Would you be willing to share more on how you do it?
Hi Lauren! Would you mind saying what pen you use to write on the Tomoe River paper? I have tried so many and they all smear! ugh. Are you just extra careful and/or let it dry before you turn the page? Or is there a miracle pen out there that I haven't found?!! LOL
your planner is so neat and tidy! 🥰
ok I LOOOOVE the Sterling Ink Weekly Booklet and the way you use it. I may just have to add that to the 2025 line up. Also I've had A Little Life on my TBR for over 2.5 years now and your unhinged reactions to it the last few weeks has really bumped it up in priority for me hahaha
This is THE MOST EXCITING VIDEO EVER! Lauren in standard size! 😍
Did you do a set up vid of your pocket…Please!!!
Lovely set up❤ I love my weekly pages in cousin - thats why I don't use any other journal as my main journal 😅 xx
Inspired: I’m going to try a vision/mood board for this school year
I also feel like you talked about this in a previous video, but I’m very curious because I have the common planner, but have never used the hobonichi cousin. I know there’s a size difference and hobo daily pages are dated, but other than that-what are the big differences for you? I know their weekly pages are fairly similar
I have an a5 common planner
Ah, you truly are my planner hero, haha! Your pages are always so satisfying to look at. I love my Avec so much. I will be using it again next year. I was wavering on Sterling Ink's books, but Hobonichi has my heart. Nice set up! Thanks for sharing!
Are you me? lol. I got the Virgo & paper kits for my Avec too but I haven’t been using as many kits as I did in 2020! lol about coffee being on your vision board.
Hobonichi is hooooome! 👏 (For you lol, since as you know, I’m in my first Sterling Ink! 🥰)
love this set up!
ohh i should start putting vision boards in my books… i have one in my planner but i don’t see it often
I love a good vision board!
The days I open up my YT app & I’m like “how cool would it be if Lauren posted today” AND THEN YOU DO 🥳🤩
Coffee is a mood, a vision, a goal, a life commitment 😆😁☕️🧋
Who said that quote about trauma? I can’t find it
could you be more specific about what quote exactly?! happy to let you know, just don't know which one you're talking about LOL
@@theoryof.lauren about now being safe
@@theoryof.lauren “although my body says otherwise I am safe now”
@@amycampbell2264 oh! that's actually just an affirmation my therapist helped me come up with!
@@theoryof.lauren omg I love it
Thx for book rec getting a little life now!
its so good! prepare to be destroyed 🤣
@@theoryof.lauren just got it today so excited I yelped!! Did I tell you this is why I loved Paper Palace!! Ok reading now… to be continued…
how did I miss (and am so late now) that you read Milk Fed??? that books was delightful in the weirdest way I enjoyed it a lot
YES IT WAS SO WEIRD YET SO GOOD. the perfect light read if you know what i mean
It is exciting for us! I am always in awe of just how much you write. I wish I was still that person... the one who would hand write a 25 pages letter to her bestie (front and back). I guess I got lazy and out of practice...
ahhhhh it's so easy to fall out of the habit of writing! i try to make time for it every day!
