So is it a mermaid 🧜🏻‍♀️ made of ivory or an ivory colored mermaid? 😊

[@rebeccagirson1087]

Like your layouts. Hope you come back to RUclips, but can imagine it's not top priority with the new baby👶

I just bought my first hobonichi and am a serial journal-er that fails to keep going all year long!

[@theivorymermaid]

Yes!! We can not finish our notebooks together 🤣💕

[@taniaalva5557]

I really enjoy how you organize your weeks. We actually use it similarly and you have some good ideas I want to implement into my weeks. Thanks for the video!

[@theivorymermaid]

Thanks! Would love to see your version!

My daughter gave me a Hobonichi Weeks for Christmas, because I keep my journal with me in my purse, and it’s smaller size is perfect. (I was using tiny little detective style flip pads and just jotting stuff - bullet journal style - all day long with no organization.) My new Weeks is a great size for me as I can still drag it around with me. I’m so glad your video was in my feed. Of all the Weeks organization videos I’ve viewed, yours seems to align with a lot of my thinking. I have been kind of paralyzed as I have been trying to find a consistent design I felt like I could follow. Your weekly spreads are inspiring and straight forward. And I totally agree with you about how pre-determining your notes/journaling section can be too restricting and can cause pressure. I look forward to seeing more content about your beautiful and user-friendly journaling methods! Thanks!

[@theivorymermaid]

Thank you and so glad this was able to spark some inspiration! Would love to see what you come up with! 🤍

Your notes pages is so lovely ❤ i like how consistent your weekly pages mine is just all over the place 😂

[@theivorymermaid]

Thanks! And nothing wrong with being all over the place, I definitely love trying new things til something finally sticks!

[@punkw4449]

Thank you for sharing your journaling experience! You have a lot of great ideas for the not section! My barrier for the note section is that the note index page is really small for a tracker that is on one page only. I am thinking maybe I can extend this page somehow. I only have the weeks. Can't wait to see your experience in the cousin.
