    What should I chat about during my March real-time plan with me video? Leave your suggestions please and thank you!

    I totally agree with you. I’ve gotten so many comments about how much time I “waste” making my bullet journal look nice...but the thing is...I feel like I double my productivity because the creative aspect inspires me to sit down and plan. In turn, the aesthetic I’ve created for the spread inspires me to revisit my bujo and keep myself accountable to the things I’ve planned. Also, people seem to forget it’s meant to be a planner AND a journal. Instead of writing long journal entries, I summarize plans and memories into one line and decorate with the time I’ve saved. It’s one of the most efficient pastimes, in my opinion.
    P.S..I love the baby sounds in the background. So cute! 😊

      How about your fave product that you use in your journal. Sorry if you've done one already. I believe this is my first video of yours.
      May I ask where you got that leather case that has pens and other stuff in it?.

    There is always going to be the “haters”, sad little people with sad little lives, probably don’t have a creative bone in their bodies, but think they can be cruel and unkind! Delete and block buttons were invented for them😉 do what’s you, enjoy the process and know how much joy you bring to thousands of people! xxx💕

    People don't get that this type of journaling can be like meditation, especially when you reach that flow state. And for me, it's just like any other thing in life. If YOU think it's a waste of time, then YOU don't do it. Go somewhere and mind your own business and stop trying to suck the life and joy out of others. I love your videos and love the style that you have landed on. Beautiful pages.

    • @vickeyheisler2369
      @vickeyheisler2369 Před 3 lety

      I was just going to say my journaling is a form of meditation for me as well as a passion. I also use my liplay in my journaling. I love how you can customize journaling. I think Instead of being negative about someone's style try creating your own just saying. Don't be negative on someone video, that take time out of their day to film something to inspire people. Just saying.

  • @SpiralMystic
    @SpiralMystic Před 4 lety +13

    Undertone, "you're obviously commenting, well you got some time." lol, yes. ….Seriously though, on the other side of this issue, I used to feel guilty spending much time on such an activity. Somehow, creating Art was one thing, but sticking pretty things on paper seemed frivolous. I'm a mother, I work, I look after a small farm, and I still 'have time' for journaling. Because I MAKE time to take care of myself and creativity is self-care for me and I'm sure for many others.I have compassion for anyone who judges any activity as a waste of time, because it means they haven't been able to give themselves that level of self-care (the same people still giving time to social media, tv shows, video games, etc). Blessings x

  • @Beka.CollageArt
    @Beka.CollageArt Před 4 lety +7

    I love how Bullet Journaling started from such a simple and functional system, but how it’s evolved into something lots of people can customize to make it work for THEM. What works for you is what it should be. And if it gives you a way to plan AND a creative outlet that you need, then that’s awesome! Personally I can’t decorate all my pages because I fill them all up with lists and need them as functional as possible. However, I’ve started getting into magazine collages recently, and I use them at least for my yearly title pages, and I love how that looks. I can’t take tons of time every month or week, but every so often it feels really good to create something that’s not so functional 😊

  • @rydiecyj
    @rydiecyj Před 4 lety +7

    Tbh i dont really pre-plan my days bc they are pretty basic (get up, go to work, come back home) during the weekdays but i do love having a planner that has your bujo outlay and memory keep. I just love sitting down on fridays or weekends and write down what happened during the week and decorate my pages to make them pretty

  • @ahouston1989

  • @estherquintana9534
    @estherquintana9534 Před 4 lety +3

  • @bcatgray
    @bcatgray Před 4 lety +5

  • @sunniintexas3325
    @sunniintexas3325 Před 4 lety

    Sarica, I agree with you completely. I enjoy journaling and scrapbooking, I started combining the two together years ago, when the 35mm film disappeared. I didn't even know that was a "THING" , you know, this community and being creative like this. I honestly thought I was the only one. It's so relaxing, I can play in my books and unwind at the same time. I don't care what anybody says, and yes, WASHI TAPE for me was a game changer. Anyway, I love your posts, keep doing what you do. Thanks for sharing !!!

  • @Brockohliflower
    @Brockohliflower Před 4 lety

    I really like that you (at least to something of a degree) addressed the over-complication of bullet journaling these days. I hope any watching who have been scared off by the wonderful creative work some people like to put into their journals, go, research, and give the most simple version of it a try. Because the creative aspect is just a bonus that people do if it makes them feel good - not a prerequisite for bullet journaling - nor indeed a bad thing or waste of time, if minimalist planning isn't your goal.

    I've been bullet journalling for 3 years and I've always done the minimalist way but I lovvvvee creative journalling. I just couldn't because I have a very flexible but demanding job. I support people who do it artfully and I preach about it to other people to encourage being creative. Keep being creative!

  • @nizhafe86
    @nizhafe86 Před 4 lety +1

    I agree with you how it's a form of escape. That you can channel your art and creativity through a bullet journal. I myself am barely getting into the bullet journal I first heard of these maybe a couple years ago.
    For me i use all sorts of washi tape and some stickers and minimal stamps. But like I said I barely am fairly new..so I'm just getting the hang of it. Maybe someday I'll think of my own theme when creating my personal bullet journal.
    Love the vintage theme that you do. Your handwriting is so pretty. Your videos are always pretty I recently found you about a week ago..

    I love this vid! I started out using a very basic bullet journal as well because I couldn't afford a nice planner in my country and I eventually found the bullet journal community on pinterest. I was one of the people who thought "omg who has the time" until I started substituting time that I was wasting scrolling on IG to doing something that I actually enjoy!

    i find that my bujo being a space to be creative motivates me to come back to it and use it for productivity :)

  • @cecilialarosaillustration94

    I tried to do the "artsy" bujo method and decorate and all of that. But, turns out that I'm an illustrator, and my whole life is creating art, so I just wanted to keep my journal as functional and minimalistic as possible. It's just about doing what works for you, some people need the artsy side of the planner to keep motivated for using it, and others like me prefer it minimal and straight to the point. But still adore to watch this videos when I'm working!

  • @angelascott2475

    Sarica, may I ask you a question? Those fountain pens u use, I see them for sale they are not cheap, before I invest in one, I would like to know if you can tell me if the EF nib is as in the japanese EF nib (which is VERY thin) or more similar to Lamy's EF nib?
    Ur vids are always an inspiration, the joy of my day is to arrive home after a full day of work, and write on my journal, and decorate it to my hearts content. As an workaholic who has to travel a lot for work, I feel like this is a hobby that can go on the road with me. I am able to have "me time" and value my moments and my profession, by writing about it. It makes me love my life more, and love my work more as well...haters gonna hate anyways hahahah

    • @SaricaStudio
      @SaricaStudio  Před 4 lety

      Of course; it's definitely thicker than a Japanese fine nib and even thicker than the Lamy EF. If you like very fine nibs I recommend a Japanese pen for sure :) I feel the same way! journaling makes me appreciate everything more ❤️

    I already had the intention of starting following you, because I love how you make it look so pretty without spending hours drawing, then you told about those people that say that a planner has to be practical, and you got me!! =D I feel so related! In fact, I arrived to your video because I am about to jump from bullet journal to midori. Like you said, I love the part of decorating it, of making it look nice, but the part of drawing lines and spreads every months ended up being not so funny, and in TN I saw a solution where I can have the best of BuJo. I'm going to check your other videos. Thanks and have a nice day!!

You are certainly a positive light in dark times. You're doing an amazing job! Keep up the great work! Looking forward to watching more of your videos. 😁

    I’ve heard that before. People don’t understand why we decorate our planners. Creative planning and journaling is my happy place.

    I like your rambly video and I like your style! yeah, people don't get creative planning and think its a "waste" of time, so I have separated my social media account to my normal friends to my creative paper planner loving friends! haha, that way those people who don't get this awesome creative community are not bombarded by spread/layout posts and they cannot comment things like its a waste of time in my creative post because they are the ones who choose to follow me there! lol

    I need my bujo time bc, as a creative, it’s at times the only artistic outlet I get on a daily basis.
