When the journaling music starts I've developed a Pavlovian response of feeling calm and peaceful.
Same!
i feel so called about by the "thinking a new notebook would fix things" part LOL
we're all guilty of it 🫣
attic archives bring me so much peace😌
very glad to hear it 🥲🖤
"I live spooky all year" should be quoted and commonplaced :)
"other people get spooky" is SUCH a quote
Oh I really feel you with "Missing your season" and accidentally having a bad October and it all feels wasted :/
Thanks for sharing this lovely video!
thanks for watching! 🎃🖤
Stickers are gas and I love your artwork. Wish I could get proper stickers shipped to burgerland but I understand your reasoning behind it. I went to a psychiatrist 2 weeks ago about my own sleep issues. She believes my cortisol levels are inverted. I was gaining energy/wakefulness as night went on, and growing more tired towards the morning. If I slept at all it was usually from 4AM-9AM. Worse, though, is many nights I would never actually fall sleep. I would get stuck in hypnagogia. It is that strange period where you may have auditory or visual hallucinations, sleep paralysis, and body jerks. I got the jerks pretty frequently. After 4-5 days of this I would finally sleep for maybe 4-5 hours and it has been going on for MONTHS. It is absolute torture so I really feel for you when you talk about your sleep struggles. My psych started me on a drug called mirtazapine. I've been on it about 10 days and I'm finally seeing some results. First week was brutal. The drug has a strong sedative effect, but I still wasn't falling asleep. The next day I was more or less a walking corpse. However, I have slept for the past 4 nights in a row which is a personal record for the last 6-9 months. You're not alone Megan and I'm rooting for you. Watch lots of spooky movies this month; I know I am. Nails are fireeeee.
exactly this 🥲 sorry to hear that you're dealing with disrupted/difficult sleep too, but weirdly glad to know im not alone. thanks for your comment 🖤🎃
I got a cousin and a weeks for 2024. Cousin is my health log/journal/archive. Weeks is my planner. Plus points for the mega, space at the back for thought dumping.
interesting! id kind of like the pages in the back of the mega for thought dumping too- things that are a bit too small to take up room in a cousin page 💭 cousin archive and weeks planner is along my train of thought also!
exactly! the way i see it is a "for use" and "for memories"
I’ve had an awful week and this video couldn’t come soon enough. Loved the pumpkin patch scene 🎃🧡
i hope the week ahead is better for you! but glad you enjoyed the video 🖤
this lil corner of the internet is my safe space🤍
🖤🖤
i have a quick question for anyone reading the comments who is also autistic -- as a collector of special interest items, how do you manage all of your stuff (in terms of not having too much / managing the quantity of items related to the stuff you love)??
was just thinking about it because of the little halloween purchases here and there that megan shows and other fixations that i have since i have a LOT of interests in addition to spooky time
i don't have an answer because i just live in the chaos of it - but would also love to hear an answer
halloween and stationery are my two biggest interests, and i store a lot in drawers. i do try to be careful about what i buy- only things that i have room for, that will last and can be reused. that sort of thing. the nature of special interests makes my purchases a little impulsive sometimes, but i do try my best to be mindful. helps that i really don’t have a lot of room to live in- if i had more space there'd be less stopping me 😅
I was also considering a weeks to add as a on the go book to supplement my cousin but I realized I don’t leave the house enough 🙇🏼♀️😅
i probably don't either tbh 🥲 but when i do i miss carrying something with me!
that's why i just carry around a field notes :) cheaper and perfectly pocket-sized
I love your videos. I always feel so understood. When you said that sometimes you just wake up weird and feel like it’s so unexplained but maybe a new notebook could fix it, that’s literally how I feel and I always end up impulsively buying one. Lol
Thank you for this video and I’m happy you got to enjoy your special outing! You captured the magic of October and spooky things. (And I’m not really actually into spooky stuff. Lol)
Have a great October!
I have rough weeks a lot with migraines and stress and your videos make me feel less anxious about my needs 💙💙 they always call me down so much
i feel that. very glad the videos can help a little, and i hope the coming week treats you well 🖤
I loved this week’s attic archives! You are my favorite CZcamsr🩶
🥺🖤🖤
You’ve inspired me to purchase a cousin for the new year. I’ve never journaled properly before. I always fell out of love with it quite fast, but I’ve learnt to experience what works for me and what doesn’t. I’m so excited! Thank you for sharing!
i struggle with the whole "carry my planner with me" issue so I am very interested to see how you handle this. Thank you for your channel. I have become more organized because of your videos.
ahh you're very welcome, im glad you enjoy the videos! will definitely update if i find a solution 📓
Yay!!! I was literally just checking to see if you had uploaded!!,
hope you enjoyed it!
this was honestly so soothing!!!
oh im so glad! thanks for watching 🖤
im so glad you got to go to the pumpkin patch!!!
I love seeing your cousin! I cannot wait for a flip through.
Do you have your old weeks to try and use to see if you want the weeks? Maybe even having an older one will be comforting and you can see if you really want it or maybe would prefer your field notes.
And OMG that pumpkin patch was legit!!
i do, yes! i've actually been doing so behind-the-scenes this week. and yes!! a very cool pumpkin patch, i've never seen one like it 🎃🎃
Never been this early to a video, this came online at the perfect time with me chilling on the sofa. 🖤 I love your attic archives, Megan, they always make me feel like I'm hanging out with a friend. (I hope that's not weird to say...)
But would it be possible to turn the volume up on your videos? Even with a speaker/headphones I tend to have to put everything at 80 or 90% to hear you. Thank you if you do.
oh that's strange! when i edit, the sound is fine- a little loud even. im not sure how to fix it because if i raise the volume it would be deafening to edit 🫣 i'll try and have a look though. glad you enjoy the videos, nonetheless!
Thank you for the reply and for looking into it. ❤ Your videos are not the only ones on CZcams where I have this issue, so it might be related to what happens on uploading the audio? I'm not sure, but definitely don't deafen yourself editing on my behalf please ! 🫣@@MeganRhiannon
@@MeganRhiannonI don't think it needs to be louder. Its totally fine
I wish some quiet ambient noises would be louder and loud ones quieter. But that's only possible with pro mic equipment and later balancing sound by editing or just cutting the highest sound spikes which takes bit more effort
Otherwise it's fine.
i used a moleskine pocket as my on the go (even though I already had a weeks) but I hated that the weekends were stacked.
for 2024 I'm getting a nolty listy a5 slim and was considering getting a pocket nolty but I don't leave the house much so i decided to wait on it. very much struggle sticking with one notebook so we'll see how that goes haha (ah, but I did get and april start bunnies weeks for journaling so yeah)
I thought the original exorcist was boring and really didn’t like the ending, but the new film I watched last Friday and loved it! October season is also my season, my whole families really- we have a tradition that every year we watch at least one horror film every day in October 👻
glad to know it wasn't only us who were pleasantly surprised by the new film! we really enjoyed it too. hope you and your family have a wonderful october 🖤🎃
I absolutely love your videos. I play them in the background while I study/do homework and it's so helpful. I've finally settled on a primarily digital way of planning but I still write out my calendar and journal in my TN. I use a text editor called GNU Emacs with a package called Org-Mode. It's quite technical and it has a learning curve, but I found it worth it to learn. Also, your nails are always so lovely! I love the unintentional ASMR that comes from you handling things. I hope this isn't too ramble-y, but you got me into listening to music on an MP3 player and I just love the tactility. Do you have any music/band recs? I hope you have a lovely day! :)
THIS PUMPKIN PATCH??? I'M DYINGGGGGGGGGG UGH
ive never seen anything like it!! burst into tears when we arrived and i saw it 😌
@MeganRhiannon I got intense goosebumps from the images you shared alone (great shots, btw)! I'm so happy you got to experience it! The beauty of it AND the autistic joy
@@natasharedmane thank you 🥺 happy to be able to share a bit of it with all of you, although the footage doesn’t quite do it justice!
attic archives always make me feel so cozy
i've been using them for a couple of months, i think! it does make things a lot easier 😅
I love your stickers! I just don’t want to print and fussy cut my own. 😢 Another lovely video!
i love your nails !!
thank you!
Maybe one of the sterling ink booklets would be a good on the go planner to throw in your bag or pocket.
all the small books are out of stock whenever i look 🫣 i might've missed the window for ordering
@@MeganRhiannon the passport weeklies are still in stock.
@@ssum92 ah passport is a bit too small for me!
@@MeganRhiannon well Hobonichi does have a lot of cute weeks option this season.
Do you mind linking where you got those dot stickers? I noticed you have a lot of different colors in them. Thanks!
they're stalogy index dots! always sold out though 🥲
Looking for the link to the daughter/father notebook archive article? I can’t find it

how do you mean? 😅

@@ChantelleArts 👻👻
i wonder what's your favourite holiday🤔🤔
💭💭💭
not to be a bad influence but my 2024 system is going to be a cousin and a weeks! the cousin as my stay at home journaling, all encompassing book and then my weeks to take with me and do more tracking and tasks. I think its going to work really well and maybe it would work for you too!
Where did you get your CD player?
john lewis
What kind of pen are you using?
pilot frixion
Hello. What printer do you use for the photos?
just a normal home printer and normal, cheap printer paper from the supermarket
@@MeganRhiannon Thank you! Love your videos!!!
Ahhh earlyyy ❤🎉
🖤
question: why is ur desk so much darker now? i remember u complaining about the yellowness of ur desk and now its chocolate brown
i swapped the tabletop because i didn’t like the yellow! my brother has it now 👀
Ahhh, thank you! Also love the vidoes so much
@@alekseverill9399 glad you like them 🖤
What camera do you use?
just my phone (iphone)
I’m blown away, incredibly inspired by your videos, looking forward to more !!!!
@@maybemymedia ahh thank you! glad you like them 🖤
4:46 that mug placement gave me so much anxiety
it wasn’t as unstable as it looked!
There is growing discourse here in the US about phasing out the use of the word "spooky" given that it has also been used in the past as a slur against black people. It's a bit marginal if you ask me but figure it's better to find an alternative word than potentially offend someone.
never in my life have i heard this “growing discourse.” come on, now.
@@deanmoriarty6015 well you'll note my comment wasn't very prescriptive since it isn't really a leading view yet, but it's definitely talked about, your involvement or not isn't really the point. figure this channel seeks to be open an accessible so it might be something to look into proactively.
another lovely video :) thanks for sharing megan ❤🩹❤🩹
glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Hi Megan, did uou enjoy the Wes Abderson feature-length with Benedict Cumberbatch? 🤍☕
