Maybe your next topic is learning about Starbucks aka the blood coffee, good topic for your journal

They have signature stamps at the redwood parks????Cool beans! I am going at the end of the month and will have to get my travelers notebook stamped!! Thanks for sharing!

Field notes are in my EDC too! love the size, and with a zipper insert I can keep my cards & cash on me too!

I'm in the same boat as far as loving the pocket size! Can't keep my hands off my Moleskine Daily! It's so comforting to listen to someone with the same obsession

Pocket notebooks ❤

5 minutes into the video and I already love your system. ❤

Yes, please do a video of how you fill out the book review... Excited!!!!

I absolutely love this idea! I have major ADHD so I definitely forget a book after a year and I even sometimes forget things from the beginning if I’m reading a long book🤦🏻‍♀️. This seems like a great idea for me to keep all my thoughts in one place.

I just keep a list with title, author, start, and finish at the front of my bujo. But some of these spreads might work really well for a master list in my collections journal.

What a great journal! I keep one too but only use it when I finish a book but I really like this method of taking notes throughout the whole reading experience. Low barrier to entry is definitely important and this seems like a really effective and clean system!

Hi Dez! This is wonderful! I really like the monthly spreads. I find snapshots really fun to look at. I’ve been reading a bit more and sometimes I frantically try to finish what I’m reading because I don’t want to forget what I’m reading. lol! I do the same with tv series and anime.. but then I get to a point where I’m overwhelmed and bored. I feel like other reading journals I’ve seen focus on finishing books and then I focus on completing a book instead of enjoying the journey regardless if I finish the entire book. Thanks for sharing!! This feels like a much more motivating and accessible way to enjoy stories. 😊

❤️📚 A very nice journal! I made my very first reading journal this year, and I've kept up in it ...but, I've definitely learned from it. Next year it will be a lot less complicated! 😊

Going to give Daylio a try! <3

Really enjoyed watching this video and wouldn't mind at all, if you end up doing a mid year techo kaigi. I can completely understand your hesitation to using a fancy notebook. I have the same issue if the notebook is too expensive, which is why even though I like moleskin, spending 25€ and up on a notebook and then having the stress about "messing it up" was one reason I didn't use them very often. Then I found the same sales you mentioned on their website and I've been buying their outdated daily calenders as notebooks. My current journal/bujo is their large 18 month daily calender that has over 500 pages and cost me only 10€. And because it was so cheap, there is no stress of having to have perfect spreads. And when the notebook is full I can toss it to the recyckle bin without feeling like I just through away money.

Congrats on getting over, working thru the fear of using the Field Notes. I struggle with that. But we must allow ourselves to enjoy this beautiful stationery! Thats why we buy it!!😊

I am back in process of finding a new perfect for my journaling, tracking, bullet journal routine after what I had been doing stopped really working for me. I've been thinking I'm gonna try a Cousin next year so I can refocus on just doing the journaling I miss and not think about seeing up spreads at all. But I also like these common place log books as well. I like your layout style and let system - very neat and easy to follow as you flip through things later. Gotta check out that app too. Could make life a lot easier maybe.

I love using pocket notebooks. I'm currently using a few of them. Nice video!

I love your pocket notebook. I started carrying just a passport travelers notebook with me everywhere. I wear a uniform with a cargo pocket so I have it with me all the time. I really enjoy seeing other people using pocket notebooks. I know its helped me with reading notes and work notes. Great video! I really hope you do a video on your reading notes. I'd definitely like to see what kind of set up you have.

i am also in stem and a pocket book enthusiast :) loved this video!

Hi Dez! I’ve been confused about commonplace books, but seeing your little books made me so happy. They’re so cute! I tried doing a commonplace book in an A5 dotted MD notebook, but I think the size is too big for me. 😅 I liked your tip for putting down colors for the key and leaving room for new topics to appear and for less interesting topics to get let go of. I have a handful of pocket notebooks and I’m always trying to think of a way to try using them. I like your daily log too! The moleskine planner looks so classy. 🙂 I am curious about a daily log because I feel like the hours of the day and the days themselves just pass and I have no recollection of what I did.. 😅 I love mid-year techo kaigi videos so I’d be happy to see yours if you’re up to sharing. ^^ Also if you have any strategies of saving crochet patterns you’re interested in potentially doing in the future or any ways specific to crochet that you’ve found to be helpful in your journals I’d be curious to know! Same with gaming, I casually play Stardew Valley and ACNH and I’ve been looking for some inspiration other than literally copying the wiki whenever I have a question.. which is what I currently do hahahaha. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Those are my most used Tombows! My 942 is also almost rubbed clean 😂

Love the look of your Fields Notes! Never would've guessed that you had been too precious with it. It looks and feels really lived in and like a second brain. I used to do the same in smaller notebooks and weirdly it's when I moved to a bigger one that I feel like I've lost that a little. Really enjoyed your video!

thanks for this review. I'm usually not a fan of pre-filled books, but this is a nice one!

The Murdle book looks fun. I might get one 😊

That was so fun! They are all gorgeous and go so well together!! I love one more sleep!! You got me running to the vanness site lol

loved this!! would also be interested in seeing the other journals you use :)

love your journalling style :)

Late to the comments, but I wanted to add to your Lamy/fine nib/ shimmer ink discovery: I was finding Wearingeul’s “I am a cat” troublesome in a lot of my M -B nib pens - I was trying it out in all my pens hoping for a match and to my surprise it flowed beautifully out of my Lamy F nib! (How?!?🤯). The shimmer distributes evenly, no clogging… I never would have thought a Lamy fine could handle this problem child of a shimmer ink! Thank you for the video, BTW!

love 🧡

does hobonichi goes on sale every year?

Hi Dez! This is the first video of yours that I am watching. (: I had a blast watching and listening to you! As you talked through more and more of your journals I found more and more in common with you! I just finished my first full year in Stardew. I was getting pretty bored in Winter.. but now that it’s Spring again I am excited to play. Hahaha. I love your cheerful spirit, it really shines through! I also think your desk and wooden drawers are beautiful. Looks like a really cozy place to study, read, and “stationery” haha. I can’t remember who I saw this from.. but I saw someone cut a little slit in the back of their clean cover on the HON so that the pen loop would fit in it and not shift around. Just wanted to share since you mentioned it’s too flimsy to actually use it as a pencil board. I am also tempted to pick up an A6 or A5 cat notebook from the Hobonichi Spring 2024 release. They’re so freakin’ cute. I have not been able to wrap my head around how to use a commonplace book. I am interested in many different things. So much that I have contemplating starting a bunch of different TN inserts. LOL. It’s cool to see that you commonplace so many different topics. Maybe I will give it a shot and see how it goes ~ I hope your crochet blanket is coming along well. I also crochet :) I look forward to seeing how your journals evolve throughout the year! (:

I recently downsized to the same Field Notes NB. 😅 I needed something small that I could carry with me. An A6 size NB would be a great EDC commonplace book, too!

I agree that a commonplace should be with me at all times. I’m trying to wrap my head around using Goodnotes as my commonplace and just transfer information from my notebook. The alternative is use my iPad for everything and give up my notebook. That option makes me sad. Love the Jack London quote.

Do you ever find the A5 Hon too big to keep up with? I’m having the same issues you are and I really want to have this great big book of everything that’s filled out and full of daily memories but it’s not going great😂 I’m considering switching to the a6 size to make it more manageable. Would you ever downgrade in size?

I had this in the small and large size. The small is the perfect size. And I like how it lays flat, but I cannot deal with all of the lint and dog hair it picks up 😂. I returned my small one and plan to sell my large one.

The brown kaweco sounds like it might have slight babies bottom? It is a common issue with kaweco nibs and it can be such an mild but consistently annoying issue

Crazy how bad these two pens are compared to anything else reasonable

Super surprised by the Vert Olive, it looks so good and totally readable! Thanks for sharing :)

as someone who also wanted to match their fountain pen to the liberty fabrics hon cover, kobe ink 68 is a beautiful color that matches the muted teal/blue!

cool colors. syringe is the best in my opinion because its more sterile and helps prevent mold forming in your ink bottles!.

such a lovely video, watching this as I'm cleaning my pens to reink them hehee may I ask if you remember what store in amsterdam you went too? I'm currently planning a trip there and would love to visit

monteverde joy sepia looks like something i might have to get a sample of! 🫢 thank you so much for sharing your pens with us!

At the moment i have Monteverde olivine in my twsbi mini classic with a ef nib, then Robert oster cherry blossom in my twsbi eco indigo blue which also has ef nib. plus i have pre-ordered the kaweco art sport in hickory brown with a medium nib.

My Liberty A5 Hon also makes a crinkly sound if I press along the spine. Ugghh... oh well :P

Some great recommendations here! Love the sound of pumpkin heads - seems like a cute, wholesome story. 🎃🥰

I would love to see what inks you use! I'm fairly new the wonderful world of fountain pens so I'm super interested in see what others use :) Also the little ghosts on your nails are super cute! 😍

I love ❤

I was unsure if I wanted to get this pouch or not, but your video convinced me to get it! just ordered one in yellow and im really excited to start using it

The .25mm hex pens from Muji 🥺🍂🍁🎃

Put your scissors in one of the pen loops 😀
