It's good to see signs that this lousey year is going to end. I don't think anyone is going to be nostalgic for 2020.
I titled it in my journal as The Year That Was Officially Cancelled ™️
A LITTLE LOUDER FOR THE YEARS IN THE FUTURE 😂
Ever since I started using my bullet journal in the traditional way I make much better use of it. And, I'm much more efficient with not trying to make it pretty. In the end, I find the simplicity is pretty!
This video has all the good things: notebook porn, organization porn, some neatly straight free-hand lines, pretty handwriting, some asmr, some ambiance jazz, a nice chat. Just 👌
I heard you were ill, but I had no idea it was a kidney infection! :( Hope you're healed from that.
I rewatched the workshop last week and I got a nice system for organizing my essay and non-fiction writing. I really want to thank you for that workshop, it was *really* good. 🖤
Also, no beeps? 👀
All recovered from the kidney infection! and yup the blips are OVER. They ended up having to replace the entire smoke alarm - it was broken and kept beeping even though we put three new batteries in it.
Thank god it’s over 😭
@@RachaelStephen what a nightmare! Thank god, indeed. I'm surprised you kept your insanity for do long hahaha I'd go insane 😆
Natasha Redmane oh i did, believe me 😂
I truly waited for that dramatic pause to be called cinnamon bun
I really like seeing your bullet journal videos, it’s nice to be reminded that I should be doing what is functional & simple for me, not just pretty.
I FEEL you on the "various shades of Hell" comment. From your moving vlogs it seemed like you and your ex had an amicable or at least respectful break up, same with my ex and I. But jeeze, how things devolved (for me, at least). You think things are working out but then another wrench just gets thrown at you. But moving up and moving on!
YUP. have actually been working on a video about the various shades of hell but not sure if I’m actually going to be able to release it. we’ll see!
Oh, I never thought to just paste in a pretty picture for the month! I think I'll try that, it sets the mood so nicely! ✨
Thank you so much Rachael; it's so nice to see simple journalist's still in love with their process. I've been struggling the past few months with intense depression and anxiety and so my bullet journal has become much simpler by necessity. Part of me felt guilty, but part of me was glad to be able to use it as it was intended. And honestly, watching this has made me want to try the graph tracker and use simple things like printed pictures or postcards for color instead of worrying about making it look beautiful all the time. Thank you for sharing! Blessed be cinnamon bun.
9:25 this is the only reason I want to start bullet journaling. I dropped out of school and have been staying at home since january. The days go by so fast in a blur when youre doing absolutely nothing.
(sorry for the sappiness, im just glad to hear im not the only one that feels this way lol.)
Even though you think your spreads are boring or simple, I find them helpful and insightful. You know how to be introspective and you have wisdom how to not make yourself guilty for not doing something. I like how you said you don’t preemptively set up spreads in case you will use them. I feel like people do that, then feel shame for not following through. I’m sorry you’re going through a hard time. Keep posting things like this please 💕
A monthly tracker is really my favorite part of a bullet journal bc thats the only thing that keeps me checking up on it everyday
I like this set-up, it's something I actually see myself do. All the others are so complicated and time consuming. This has the basics with room to elaborate where needed. perfect.
Hi Rachael
Thank you for sharing the process of setting up your new journal. I only recently started using a journal and I really love things to be minimal - if it gets to fancy I tend to not want to do it :)
I hope you are well and inspired to do things. Looking forward to your next video.
If you haven’t already, you need to watch her video about what she was doing wrong when bullet journaling. I wish I would have watched it when I first started! It’s insanely helpful.
I think your bujo style is lovely and elegant. A simple bujo style is easier to impliment and maintain.
Full moon and Mercury in retrograde........100% affect me. People think I'm nuts but I know how I feel. And many doctors and nurses say that their ER's are definitely busier!!! Btw......I love the simplicity of your journal. Sending you positive energy. ❤️
I love your bullet journal set up!! The month cycle graph ( inspired by you) is an interesting one & I've started to use this, it's been two months & it's going so well! I love doing the graph thing every single day! It's minimal yet so effective. thankyou so much.
Finally I discovered someone that appreciates the not preplanned pages of the original bullet journal method! ❤️ I think the key isn't to necessarily keep it undecorated but keep it flexible, without preplan a fixed space for eg a day/week/month or various collection pages. 😀 Also, I think the cover getting sticky/dirty is a Leuchtturm hardcover thing, I had the same problem with it. I prefer using Moleskine notebooks to be honest, I also like the relatively bad paper quality and how it looks when it is fully used -unpopular opinion, I know! ☺️❤️ Take care!!
I was just rewatching some preptober and NaNoWriMo videos and wishing I had a new one of yours to watch as well.
I adore how your Future Log is almost like an almanac, sans the moon phases!
Your bullet journal realisation videos are what finally convinced me to try one and I love it. I'm not artistic at all and the pretty journals were a huge Nope from me.
I ended up getting a Rocketbook Everlast because using Frixon pens (which, to my utter delight, also come in colours and highlighters!) if I make a mistake I can erase it, and when the book is full I can wipe every page clean and start again. It's pleasing on many levels.
It's also interesting to me seeing what other people get out of bullet journaling. You mentioned marking the passage of time a lot, I have kids so their unstoppable growth marks time for me 😂 what I've gotten most since starting is making sure I do things for myself sometimes, not just endless tasks and housework (though it's also useful for ensuring that gets done too!)
Fun fact- Don't throw a hot match into a waste paper bin. If conditions are just right, the heat from the match head can ignite paper, and you'll have a roaring fire. By letting the match cool before putting it in the bin will eliminate this risk. I've seen people put some spit in the match head... this cools the match head, reducing the chance of ignition.
2 mins into this vid and thought "i love her already!" *subbed*
I love how simple this is and how easy it works for you!!!
It took me FOREVER to find a video that was bullet journaling without all the detailed sketches and layouts. This is perfect and EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you! *subscribed for the chill*
The black washi tape page edges make it look like Victorian mourning stationery LOL
Tempus fugit! I like using the bullet journal process as a way of noticing time passing--that rings true.
Lovely video, thank you. I'm just getting into bullet journaling. I watched a video of yours from 2019 (one where bullet journaling was mixed with wanting to help the world shift away from capitalism and the internalized programming about productivity). I scanned some of the book on bullet journaling that you had behind you in that video and didn't feel drawn to his writing or where he seemed to be coming from. Do you have a video where you explain the basics, including the different kinds of tasks and how you indicate them?
hey! I don’t I’m afraid. I really do recommend the Bullet Journal Method book, even if you aren’t super enamored with his voice it really is the best guide out of there. The first half covers the how, the second half goes deeper into theory and reflection so you could easily skip that.
@@RachaelStephen Thanks for your reply Rachael. Since I wrote you, I watched a video of the creator of the journal and really liked him and where he was coming from. So I ordered the book and am reading it. Best to you.
I start a bullet journal in September for the new uni year, I’m really interested in seeing how I change using it over the year. I am adding art currently as they are a form of selfcare, which I may not remember to do otherwise as I’m a science student. I have done two weekly so far and have already learnt quite a lot, like I need a general weekly to do list. Uni hasn’t started yet so I’ve have no need for daily logs as of yet.
I honestly don't like LEUCHTTURM1917 (my spelling might be wrong) . The ghosting is absolute but of course since I bought it (very expensive in my country) , I'll just use it. I love the color of the paper and the instant page number. But other than that, I regret the purchase.
Omggg I was hooked to the screen since the very first staaaart 😍😍😍😍 you have a ne HUGE fan here! And new Subbie too ❤️😍😍😍
Can you please show how you populate the period tracker? (could be with fake data if privacy is a concern)...
Thank you for that video! I love your journal. It's very aesthetically pleasing! ✨💜
Do you journal in your bullet journal as well as set up your daily to do lists?
where did you get your desk from rachel?? it seems like the perfect desk with that little shelf ledge thing on the top.
it's all from ikea! the shelf is a seperate add on :)
I love the vision board (?) on your wall. Is it part of your story writing, or visions for your year?
it’s a moodboard for my novel :)
@@RachaelStephen it's very eye-catching. I would love a video on your creating one if you ever get a chance. I really am thankful for everything you share.
love your simple set up! so nice
Yay. Very helpful actually because being #arsthetic in my bullet journal takes way too long. Love your clean and effective style.
it's so great seeing fellow witches online! I love your channel, just found it - I have a thing for leuchtturms - I don't like the paper (I use heavier inks) but I love the notebook - is it even a thing?? Sending love
1:20 For a few weeks now I've been trying to remember to comment here that I'd be willing to bet that the goo on your old BuJo is hand-sanitizer.
I'm glad you came up in my notifications today so that reminded me.
Whadda ya think?
✋💧🤚
Thank you for this lovely video! I'm watching while setting up my monthly spread for september.
Keeping track of time is one of the main reasons I use my bullet jounral too and like @Maria Lønborg said, when you lose the daily routine and time management that school/work gives you it sends you into a weird state of floating around and not feeling connected with the passing of time.
I'm really glad bullet journaling has helped me and others with this, finding something that works for you (whether that's a grounding morning routine, a journal or a specific workout regime) can do wonders with calming stress and reducing unnecessary feeling of uncertainty. Long comment, thanks for reading!
Hey Rachel! Love your vids!
I was wondering how you determine how many weeks are in a month for counting the weeks? Particularly in transitions between months. If the last 4 days of April are Sun-Wed do you count that week as April, or March because it starts that week?
Thanks for posting this. I always love getting emails right when you've uploaded :)
Edit: Also just realised you missed October in your Future Log. Hopefully you caught that soon.
I use ical to tell me the week numbers, and whichever month the monday is in, I count that week as part of that month even if it’s not technically. I start my weeks on mondays so that made sense to me.
it is at times like this that I get jealous of those who do not live on brazil
I really wish I could afford a leuchtturm1917, but unfortunately it costs about R$300.00 with taxes, which is approximately 10% of my salary
absurd
What the hell!
@@killergriffel yeah, bizarre
today I am earning considerably more, but I am working on a career that pays considerably more than the usual stuff
if we consider the minimum wage here, which is about R$1200.00, a Leuchtturm would be cost 25% of one person's work
1:07 Oh, I hate it when that happens! 🙄
