Awesome video! The most important thing that’s sets you apart from other RUclips videos is the inspiration you give to your audience to start journaling. I’ve watched hundreds of journaling videos but you are the one that really inspires me to actually do it. I think you make yourself more relatable. I also think it’s your space, the aesthetics and the good vibes you emit. In other words I love your videos. Thank you.😊❤
I always spend my weekend updating my journal. I just list the events of everyday on Keep Notes. Like what I ate, who I was with doing whatever, what I felt about a situation etc. In that way I could look back on my list and reflect about each day and journal about it. This took away my anxiety of missing days in my journal. If i dont have words, i always see to it that i took photos of even the simplest things each day and then stick it. Like the blue sky, the pavement or even a fly lol!
Loved the video. I've started a journal/memory keeping journal at some point of last year and I'm using a basic Muji notebook, with blank pages and craft cover. I've never been able to be consistent with a notebook but I'm still keeping it and I just love to do it. I don't write everything that happened on the day, I just talk about something that marked the day and I write for as long as I feel like it, without even reading it. If I have, I had some photos, tickets from doctor appointments, restaurants.... whatever. On the days that nothing happens I print the poster of the entertainment I've been following...books, series, movies, music... It really is like therapy for me. I don't write every day so I keep a list on my planner where I just annotate the "something special" I want to talk about.
I finished your skillshare course two days ago. It was great. Short simple and easy to digest chunks. My favorite tip is no more than three days without journaling. Thank you ❤
Thanks for taking the time to make videos! I am a former scrapbooker and have alot of stickers ... I decided to let the stickers dictate some of the things I do this year (ie - I have movie theme sticker so going to make sure I go to the movies so I can use them). Also reinforces my New Years goal of doing more things instead of buying "stuff"
This video came on while I was journaling, lol. I'm trying to get back in the habit again - I wrote in my journal the whole July last year but fell off the habit the following months. Catching up and hoping for the best.
For this year I am using a Midori Datebook as my "catch-all", or kind of an EDC? Just something where I can plan and write about what happened during the day without caring how it would look like. What's important to me also was that I can take it anywhere with me. And then I use that as reference whenever I have time to update my 5 Year Techo and my A6 Journal with all the ephemera and photos I have collected by then, usually that happens after 3 days, or if I'm really busy then it's once a week. So far that has taken away the guilt and anxiety not using my journals.
My life is not grand. I have a chronic illness and there can be days that go by that I don’t even leave the house. But I do have three teenagers and a husband. I write about everyday things. I write as if I am writing to a good friend and tell that friend everything. In my journal I write about a new ink that I got in the mail, what I ate for dinner, how my pain was that day, and even how much laundry I got done that day. I imagine someone reading my journal 100, 200 or even 300 years from now. People from the future are going to want to know what life was like in 2025. So I add in all the details. But I also don’t hold myself to any rules. Some days I write one page and other days I write many pages. I just go on how I am feeling on that day.

Thank you so much Abbey! Admire your creative style and editing. Nice RUclips channel. Your handwriting is pretty lovely 🥰
Love all the tips! It has taken me a good 7 years to get where I am in my journaling practice!

Hello Abbey! Thank tou for this video. What is the warm brown ink color you use at 10:40 of the video? Thank you❤

My favorite tip is, Find your Format
I took your Skillshare course- fun❤
