So I'm still thinking about that planner, I probably will get it and do it on afterpay since it'll be like $25 every two weeks (I also want some pens from the shop that I really like, Zebra Sarasa!). But I went to see if I have a notebook available so it can tie me over until 2024, and I found my 2020 Bullet Journal, I did Bujo-ing since like 2016 maybe 2015 so I was in the deeps with this thing. But because 2020 was well... 2020, I stopped using it because there wasn't really a point to it. But around March I started journaling essentially, and I'm reading through my thoughts and I'm so thankful for past self doing it because, yeah. Though the ADHD really shown through in 2020 because I'm talking about my stint with rollerskating (I wanna get back into it but chronic pain š
But in April, I said "I'm not too sure what else to put here. Most of days are at home but I guess this is for me when I'm older, if they look back at it. To you, I hope you're safe <3" and I cried. Sorry this is so long, but I have a lot of feelings.
I did journalling in 2020 so my kids would have something to remember what it was like.. not that they'll probably want to lol
I donāt remember much about that year, and from what I do rememberā¦ thatās a good thing. The only good part of that awful time was getting my kitty and being with her
If you do get it, please let us know how it is. It looked like an amazing journal, Iām still thinking about it too š. My bujo is more planner than journal, I use lots of stickers to brighten it up. I find itās a good resource to look back on, hopefully you will have a great memento to look back at 2024.
Will do. Apparently they sell out fast, but hopefully with this year they've made more copies. I'm just going to wait and see how much my new glasses will cost me. Yeah my Bullet Journal was kind of a mixmash of both, but definently more planner than journal, it wasn't until 2020 where I started journaling. It wasn't a lot but yeah. I love the idea of bullet journaling, and while making new spreads was a form of self care, I just think now like, the idea of sitting down and creating a whole thing just feels so daunting. And yes, I know I don't have to make it look pretty, but I like to do it.
With this planner I do plan to make it look pretty, but the fact that everything is already laid out for me makes me happy.
