I usually like the time lapse more simply for time reasons. I tend to watch these when work is slow and I don't always have a ton of spare time! But when I do have the extra time, I do enjoy watching the longer, more real time vids.
I like both the sped up and the real time videos. Sometimes I don’t have the mental energy for a real-time video but would like a little bujo inspo - which is how I felt this month.
I actually want both types of set-up video - for the same spreads - and for different reasons. I like the real time for when I'm setting up my own journal and I like the time lapse for when I want quick reference/overview material.
I wonder if there’s a way to spin that which doesn’t require a lot of extra effort 🤔 I wouldn’t want a time lapse with a whole heap of me gesturing in quick time 😝
@@JashiiCorrin You already have a few of those, although it's usually a flip through of stuff you've done in a live if I'm remembering correctly. It's 6am and I'm not awake yet.
I prefer sped up and strait to the point. Also, I can’t draw to save my life, so I always appreciate the use of stickers, printable , pet tapes and washi, because that’s what I use.
Team Time Lapse is coming in strong 💪 and glad that the stick-in bits are appreciated 😝 I normally feel a little odd making layouts with them cause it's not my norm 😅💜
Other than my bujo, I paint as a creative outlet and oh yeah, when I try to draw an outline or go straight into painting when I’m in that slip it is disastrous! 😬 (Same with my bujo) i know when I need to use stickers/ washi and when I can actually draw something!
When I first started, I got burned out so fast cause I thought I needed to draw everything in my bujo, but now I’m more of the mind set as long as I like looking at it and it works for me, I don’t care how I got there! 😂
@@Karen_Tries It's my 1st run at journaling and I'm using someone else's artwork to inspire the themes, and have reduced my doodling/painting/etc to when I can't find stickers of the monthly flower amongst my too-big pile of stickers I got strictly for journaling. ;)
Totally feel you on the feeling like everything has to be drawn. I certainly LIKE having the majority of things in my journal “done by me” (especially with sharing them on here, cause I feel like I want people to be able to recreate it if they wanna, and they don’t necessarily have the exact supplies I do) but letting myself use supplies like stickers and washi has made the process easier 😝 especially for slump-months!
I am yet again happy I don't rely on my journal set up financially, since I purposely don't make my weekly or monthly's until the day before I need them or else I get too excited to use the next one and neglect the current thing I'm in. Hahaha :D The only pre-step I take is the last week of the month I find what birth stone/flower is the coming month, and pick out what pens/washi I'll use based on that. At the end of 2022 I found some great artwork from Angela R. Sasser that is goddesses with the flowers/gems of the months and decided that they would be my monthly covers and themes. It's made my 1st time journey much easier, and 2024 is when I'll venture into more creative endeavors (Like the Sailor Moon monthly, and winter baking (A&O stickers)!). Now that I've worked out what works/doesn't for my needs I can have fun with themes... But I want to finish off the year with these beautiful cover pages and the resulting themes. ;)
For the monthly setups as a whole I prefer the time lapse (honestly to save time in my day). However, supplementary videos of pieces of the monthly setup (let's say a new title page idea or a habit tracker spread) as separate videos that are full length would be good too. Potentially a way to get multiple videos out of one video but still preserve the under 20/25 minute length.
I appreciate you putting a specific time on that too 😄💜 normally when I do a time lapse video, I just talk until I’m “done” saying whatever it was I wanted to talk about with each layout 😝 good to have a rough guideline on how long people would prefer for that
I like the live streams for real time and the rest as voice overs. Some time lapse videos feel frantic, but your time lapse videos are relaxing and your voice overs don't feel rushed 😁
I love both real time and time lapse! I watch because I love your content regardless of how long or short is it:) I’ll just pick whichever kind of video(s) I have time open for when I go to watch. So like laying in bed or eating lunch, I’ll watch a time lapse that’s that more medium length (15-25+ min), if I need a break inbetween writing sprints I’ll watch the shorter videos (3-10 min), and if I just want something on in the background while I clean or game or to do work with I’ll put on one of the lives or the super long videos (60+ min)❤
I think that your mix of time-lapse and long version are well balanced AND unless you say differently, I interpreted it as it fit the time that you had to dedicate. It feels more real to me that sometimes you have time to spend taking us through your planning routine, but that there are months that just getting it done is what needs doing. That's real life. Thank you for asking our opinion. I'm 50/50.
I like both types of videos but I have a slight preference for real time setups. I like to see the mistakes/corrections and I appreciate the in-depth explanations behind the design decisions.
I really like seeing these flowery PET tape centric layouts from you, they are very inspirational for me right now as I too am in a bit of a creative slump when it comes to my bujo's decoration. :) As for the question, I prefer these time lapsed videos as my ability to concentrate on one thing for a long period of time has been pretty poor lately. These time lapses are just long enough that my focus doesn't wander and I can fully enjoy the entire content. 💜
The flower tapes are so dang pretty, I love using them 😄💜 sorry to hear you’re also in a creative slump, hopefully it passes for us both 🤞 Thanks for you feedback regarding the video style 💪
I definitely prefer the time lapse and voice over style. I like your content but for the real time ones I have to put on 2x speed. Also, for some reason, your voice over voice sounds so soothing and I love it haha
Fair 👏 one of my Team perks is that they get to pick my themes, and because we’re doing a year of themes-related-to-novel holidays, my theme choices are a bit different 😝 was glad I had this tape when sunflowers won! 😂
I was thinking I could, yeah 🤔 for this month I might leave it as the reference in my LTC (just cause I’m going to make that anyways) but if this tracker proves useful, I might include one in the new journal setup for September 😄💜
I ordered a Van Gogh washi and ephemera set from Etsy which I hope arrives by August to do waterfall effect in my A5 leading pages, if it’s late I’ll just leave space and use the pencilled template, in the meantime.
I like the real time videos with explanation. I will watch the time lapse videos too but I like to hear your thoughts. 💜 After a month of doing it all by hand (no stickers) I am doing a washi tape theme for Aug. Just too much going on to be fussed!
I personally find videos between 12 and 35 minutes best, I find myself not wanting to take more time in everyday life. As an example Torryn Marie here on RUclips splits her Plan with me‘s in the first few pages and another for the mind map and weeklies. (At least she used to not sure right now)😊
Yeah that’s a nice and flexible time range 👏 I do find that if I split setup videos like that, the second one gets far fewer views than the first 😝 I think I prefer having them all in one just so it feels “complete” 🤔 but I can see the value of the split if the video is a bit long
Like a lot of people in the comments so far, I like voice overs for when I’m time/attention poor, and I tend to watch them more often or more promptly, so for monetisation they might be better? But I also enjoy real time for body doubling when I’m doing my own journaling/budgeting/insert-slightly-mindless-task-here
Hoping you feel more inspired soon. And while I am positive I know nothing about anything, I do wonder if being in this travelers size is feeling too restrictive and limiting.
A possibility! I think it's a bit to do with the time of year, and a bit to do with the journal size, and a bit to do with just general life busyness 😝
Love your videos, but unfortunately don’t have the time to watch the real time videos, therefore I thoroughly appreciate and enjoy the voice over videos. You explain everything eloquently and I rarely if ever find myself needing further clarification. I am curious about some thing though. I’ve noticed that some creators start their monthly set up with a cover page, which makes sense to me because it signals the beginning of the month and is my personal preference. Other creators, including you, have a projects/colander/other page BEFORE the cover page. I was curious about why you set up your pages this way around.
Appreciate the feedback 😄💜 I think the nice part of the time lapse videos is that they are compact 👏 does take a bit more time to fully make though because I have trouble figuring out what to say on voice overs 😂
I really need to figure out the reflection/review stuff. I want to but I feel like my brain is empty when I try. Have to find out what's blocking me. Perfectionism maybe?
I feel like perfectionism would drive the review harder, because you can write down the things you're judging too hard/feel aren't good enough or need to be changed, and in doing so you're reviewing what you've done so far and start to see the patterns that either work, or don't, for you. :)
I'm just setting up my first monthly review now and I took 6 months to really narrow down what I want to review/why. I love reading so having a book tracker of some variety would be great (I can already think of a way I'll improve for next month); the Favs section I picked 4 topics that I know I'll have content to fill (I took away gaming and mixed it in with movies/shows into Media so I would always have something); I was having trouble with trackers because I track habits weekly not monthly so I put challenges instead. Then a section for current events and memories. I'm not saying that'll work for you but maybe list out on sticky notes all the bits you are interested in and then really say "will I use this, will this be a burden to fill in, etc.." Either way good luck on the Bujo journey!!
What type of a review were you trying to do? 😊 Was it mainly for goals, or something like a planner review, finances, etc? I find a lot of the time with my reviews is that I have the most difficulty when I feel my answers have to be "big". Or for instance, if I'm writing down challenges from the month, I sit there trying to think of the really hard-hitting or "impressive" challenges (not the right word for it, but hopefully you get what I mean). Checking myself, and taking away that "high bar" restriction can help me get started.
I usually like the time lapse more simply for time reasons. I tend to watch these when work is slow and I don't always have a ton of spare time! But when I do have the extra time, I do enjoy watching the longer, more real time vids.
That’s fair 💪 appreciate the feedback 😄💜
I'm for both types of set-ups, sped up and real-time. Real-time are awesome for "body-doubling" while setting up the journal 😀
Maybe there’s someway we can spin it so we have the best of both worlds 😝
This is why I personally love real- time set up videos!
I like both the sped up and the real time videos. Sometimes I don’t have the mental energy for a real-time video but would like a little bujo inspo - which is how I felt this month.
That’s fair! Glad this one was timely for you 😄💜

I ENJOY REAL TIME MOST! MORE REAL TIME PLEASEEEEE! 💞
Glad you enjoy them! 😄💜
Using washi stickers as decoration have been a game changer! it saves so much time and brain power, still it makes my bujo pretty :)
Both types of videos I like depending on the day and how I'm feeling
Glad to hear you like both! 😄💜
Totally in a creative slump too. I find doing intuitive/automatic doodling helps
Fair 👏 one of my Team perks is that they get to pick my themes, and because we’re doing a year of themes-related-to-novel holidays, my theme choices are a bit different 😝 was glad I had this tape when sunflowers won! 😂
I like the sped up videos because I’m a mom and it’s hard to have time for anything 😅
Haha that's totally fair 👏 life is busy 😝
For the Make Time tactics, you could also do one of your key tip-ins 🤔
I was thinking I could, yeah 🤔 for this month I might leave it as the reference in my LTC (just cause I’m going to make that anyways) but if this tracker proves useful, I might include one in the new journal setup for September 😄💜
Gosh Jess, I totally get the creative block and then when it hits, I cannot stop. I love the washi. It really helps the creativity.
Glad you can understand ma feels 😝
I ordered a Van Gogh washi and ephemera set from Etsy which I hope arrives by August to do waterfall effect in my A5 leading pages, if it’s late I’ll just leave space and use the pencilled template, in the meantime.
Sounds like you’ve got some lovely supplies on the way! 😄💜
Love your set up!
Thanks Emily! 😄💜
Set it right now 😮
Set what right, sorry? 😅
