Added 2023-03-24 19:09:00 +0000 UTChere it is! not exclusively a notebook video, but it might as well be with a 35 minute notebook-based info dump in the middle. please don't feel pressured to watch it all in one go. believe it or not, i had actually intended to make a shorter, less intense video this week 😵💫
i imagine the captions are still pending as it's only just finished processing, but as is often the case, i'm quite desperate to have a little lie down (👴🏻) now that friday is mostly over. they should (hopefully) be ready for you shortly. hope you enjoy!
take care and speak soon, friends x

You're doing really well, Megan. And, the gloomies are on their way :) Exciting, with your new book for Spring! More space, comfort, and room to grow ♥

2023-03-27 13:16:12 +0000 UTCI completely understand needing to change notebooks when upsetting things happen. I had to switch from the a6 avec to the weeks a month ago due to family tragedy and i just Couldn't Cope in my old notebooks. Also, Paypal do be extra villainous now like I keep getting ads for it on my newest hyperfixation iPad game and it forces me onto the appstore to download it and I'm here like not today, Satan. Let us all join forces in our hatred for Paypal lmao. I hope next week treats you with kindness and that you feel a bit more settled.

2023-03-26 11:42:32 +0000 UTCYour videos are always so cozy and inspiring, and I will keep trying to make commonplacing happen for me because I think I really need the physicality of writing things down, now more than ever. Thank you for sharing with us 💜

2023-03-25 15:06:58 +0000 UTCI’d recommend checking out theoryof.Lauren for some cousin inspo over on YouTube / Instagram. I think you’d like her energy. She’s in the b6 common planner this year but prior it was more some cute stickers / text heavy pages

2023-03-25 12:19:12 +0000 UTCoh i’ll watch it in just a bit! can’t wait! 🤩✨🙏🏼

2023-03-25 09:25:14 +0000 UTCYeah, using the really long regular size has been a bit of a challenge. Not the best experience, but the whole unit has become near and dear to my heart.

2023-03-25 03:26:50 +0000 UTCthank you so much for giving an update on your system. i started watching you all the time at the beginning of this year and you’ve been a really big inspiration to me. i have a weeks and two other notebooks that i write in almost everyday. for some reason i only feel comfortable doing things when someone i enjoy watching or being around shows me how they do it. if not my mind will refuse to accept it. your videos make me feel comfortable expressing myself and writing and wanting to have new things which i struggled with for a long time. thank you for being you, and making videos for us, i think you are super amazing!

2023-03-25 02:17:46 +0000 UTCThe cousin is so nice, I love the extra space too. It’s fun seeing how you’re using it! Lately I’m using pocket notebooks I can carry everywhere, but they aren’t a full fledged all-in-one planner like the cousin is.

2023-03-25 00:00:57 +0000 UTComg this is hilarious because I just got a weeks book to carry with me to work! Joke's on me though because I discovered this week that I think I'm actually too disabled to work outside the home. Still gonna use it for something distinct from my cousin though - gonna track job search stuff in there now that I'm unemployed again, and I think I'm just gonna make it my social media planner.

2023-03-24 23:06:17 +0000 UTCI loved this long video! Thank you for explaining your new system. It made sense to me 😊 I'm looking forward to seeing how you adjust and grow your system as time goes on.

2023-03-24 22:59:44 +0000 UTCI was also really into ancient Egypt as a kid. My school would pass out brown paper rolls so we could cover our text books, but I would spend hours copying out Book of the Dead scrolls from tiny pictures in the library with a magnifying glass on them instead. I guess that's why transcription is one of my coping mechanisms as well. Looking forward to seeing how you use that vertical weekly spread in the Cousin, it's what kept me from picking one up lol. I wasn't imaginative enough to figure out how to make that part work for me so I bounce between a Weeks and a TN. Also, my favorite tv journals are probably the ones from Gravity Falls.

2023-03-24 22:00:58 +0000 UTCThis was just what I needed today 💖 V excited to see the spreads you make in the coming weeks/months with all that room in the cousin! Take care, hope you have a restful weekend :)

2023-03-24 21:30:35 +0000 UTCI actually use my weeks and cousin together! For the weeks, I keep habit tracking and a general brief about how I am doing physically [tracking workouts and how my body feels] and also tracking my eating habits and energy levels generally for the day. For my cousin, it has some daily tasks that I transfer in from the week on two pages [similar to how you mentioned] and keeping track of things i purchase and/or mail/packages/orders i got that day [in the margin] in conjunction w just journaling and some commonplacing. If anything needs to be expounded on from the weeks regarding my progress, etc - I just make a note to refer to the cousin, where I journal about it and go more in-depth. Hope you are doing well! Your videos are honestly so comforting and help me so much. 💙

2023-03-24 20:38:53 +0000 UTCWatched it in one sitting bc it's so interesting. I only recently adopted your weeks/field notes/basically almost everything of your system bc I desperately needed to get structure into my life and was too much of in a hazy weird spot to think of an own system. Now I'm really excited to see you making new things in your cousin and you feeling good about it while I bring my own spirit into your old system. For me it feels like best of both worlds ☺️

2023-03-24 20:33:31 +0000 UTCThis was wonderful to watch! Think you will love the Cousin, with so much space it is really adaptable… and if it bulks up to much you can get the 2 book system next year, which makes carrying around your tome much easier!

2023-03-24 20:13:21 +0000 UTCMy adhd brain bein its chaotic self.. bUT I’m so pumped to see you using that glue stick because oh my gosh im so glad someone else is trialing it! I think there’s just something about the way the paper feels that- gives the unhinged journal vibes and i live for it
Dandelion
2023-03-24 19:52:30 +0000 UTCand I still want the cousin but i’m so scared of the a5 size anymore 😅 I love the portability of my a6 and carrying it everywhere but i do think as someone with (a little bit of) large writing i feel limited with the size
Dandelion
2023-03-24 19:49:39 +0000 UTCHonestly I loved the idea of the weeks / field notes but.. My whole time right now is spent in a sterling ink a6 notebook because i NEED all of my life in one spot. I can’t do two books (i did try in january and just hit a bad spot and couldn’t do it) The only problem i’ve had in a bullet journal setup is not knowing how to do a weekly view where my adhd brain won’t forget everything :’)

2023-03-24 19:47:25 +0000 UTCahh you’re so welcome! i hope you can have a restful weekend 🙇🏻♀️

2023-03-24 19:36:43 +0000 UTCi love the idea of the travelers notebook, but i dont love the sizes (passport and regular), they both just feel so awkward 🥲 using markers is so smart!
Megan Rhiannon ✸
2023-03-24 19:32:47 +0000 UTChope you enjoy it!!

2023-03-24 19:31:48 +0000 UTCI think I change my planner/common placing all the time. I have had a traveler's notebook since it was still called a Midori. I love the thing, but thier planner books are not pleasing to my eyes really. I love using the inserts for commonplacing though. I did take the color dots you use, but I use markers to make the dots so my colors are always nice to look at.
Bailey
2023-03-24 19:25:58 +0000 UTCoh no, i hope you feel better soon! rest well this weekend ❤️🩹

2023-03-24 19:16:06 +0000 UTCWhen I say I ran to this bad boy after a long week of being sick and now back at work hacking up a lung, I'm not lying. Love to you and Wednesday <3
