    My current 2023 journal set up

    This week’s vlog is all about the journals I am using at the beginning of 2023. This year I am using a mix of paper and digital planners and journals. I’ll revisit this later to see how I am doing, what has worked and what has changed. Click above to watch on YouTube or below to view here.

  • Choosing my journals for the Pilgrimage

    April update on what journals I am currently using as I continue my pilgrimage. It seems I might be heading straight back to where it all began, but I’ll let you watch and find out.

  • My December journal and planner set-up

    An overview of my December journal and planner set-up. My Bullet Journal has become more like a bullet journal. However, as I bring everything into one journal I seem to be using more journals! And can you believe it is December already? I hope you are all keeping safe and well? May your planning be happy and your journaling creative and rewarding.

  • My November Journal and Planner set-up

    My November journal and planner set-up - images of my journals

    My November Journal and Planner set-up. A walk through my planners, journals and other creative bits and pieces. My current set-up this November is a mashup of Bullet Journals, daily journals and junk journals. Oh, and I am also using Things on the computer to keep track of digital projects. It seems my journey to journal simplicity is taking a circuitous route. Please join me on my creative adventure by subscribing to my YouTube channel or blog, and please let me know what you think and how you plan and journal in the comments. Stay safe and well x

  • How I create my weekly planner layout

    This week’s vlog shows how I create my weekly bullet journal layout. I use stickers, scraps of paper and plenty of glue stick. I show how I go from a blank page to a weekly layout for my current bullet journal set-up. And I chat as I go along. Please subscribe if you like the video and find it helpful and I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Happy planning.
