Girl... girl. Your hand writing is so beautiful. If OTHER PEOPLE thought it said 'wine' but YOU knew it said wins, please don't feel that u have to use stickers for headers. You are such an amazing artist, writer and bullet journaler. The stickers look great but u don't have to change your whole way of doing things for us as your viewers. Now I understand this is your living but seeing u feel self conscious about it sucks ass for me to hear. I wish u knew how talented u are. As much as we all see you. Also, I have been meaning to tell u since u mentioned it on the podcast. Field notes makes a waterproof notebook for when u r in the shower. Or rite in the rain notebooks. Jess, they do exist. The day I learned this I was so excited. As always, this spread is beautiful. Don't be so hard on yourself. What would u say to us if we wrote a word that looked like something else and we changed how we make ALL headers. We love u and tour content. Thank u for sharing the most vulnerable pieces of yourself with us. We love you. 🖤😘
Thank the lord for the cyclic system! I get paid on Friday biweekly. So, I set up my monthly log to start on the Friday that I get paid and goes for 4 weeks. This has helped tremendously to keep track of my budget for every two weeks and my events. Such a clever idea!! So thanks! 🎉
I started using quarterly/fortnightly/cyclic planning at the beginning of the year and it's been fantastic. The 13th week "reset week" has been particularly helpful.
I also used to have both wins and challenges but was a bit discouraged when there were way more challenges than wins by the end of the month. So instead I just left the wins section and started putting the challenges in the format of "survived _____" or something on the lines, and it actually helped me appreciate those challenges more. Great video as always! Watched it while drinking my morning coffee :]
I agree. I am a Chocolate drinker. Then Tea. Okay truth: Coke, Chocolate, than tea with some water mixed in. Can not just say Hot Chocolate, as with Frappuccino's, it's now iced Chocolate as well. Christina 🦝
Getting a bingo is so rare for me that I don't worry about any "reward" or "prize" for a bingo. I still get the emotional spike from being able to color/sticker/highlight in the square & board when completing whatever it was that was in the box. The few bingo's or even full boards still give me a hefty "buzz".
Thanks for sharing your planning method! Your approach is inspiring. While I also use a cyclical system, my method differs slightly. I concentrate intensely on a maximum of three goals for three weeks straight. This period of focused work is followed by a fourth week dedicated to integration. During this integration week, I step away from my projects and prioritize activities that align with my regular lifestyle. This break allows me to recharge and gain fresh perspective. Importantly, I use this time for reflection. I delve into my experiences by considering questions about my greatest achievements, personal growth, the strategies I employed, how my self-image has evolved, and any shifts in my thought processes. To stay motivated, I establish a reward at the beginning of each cycle. It's a small but effective way to incentivize myself. Typically, I choose to indulge in a relaxing spa day.
Love how the cyclic overview page turns out with decoration! Been doing 6 week cycles and loving it so far. Time doesn't feel as cramped anymore. This cycle is end of July (it started yesterday), all of August and the start of September 😊 feels very spacey!
A little late to the party, but YES I'm still doing the cyclic planning - tweaked to my needs or what makes sense to me - the two week planning didn't get used, so I'm doing a new single week dashbord planning every week, but the 4-week period that always starts on a monday makes soooo much more sense for me!!
I've been doing "cyclic" planning for a while because it means I can start it whenever I try to come back to planning and helps eliminate the anxiety of "can't start till the beginning of the month" or feeling bad about all the blank spaces. It's really fun to see another take on it!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I set up my August planner and I was trying to change a few things since I haven’t been keen on my old methods, but even still it wasn’t quite clicking. I’m not going to change it right now, but based on this video alone I’m already more inspired by how I’d like to switch up my layouts for next month.
Glad the video was useful for you 😄 I’m a big fan of changing things up and tweaking layouts in my journal as life changes 👌 hope your journal adjustments serve you well 💜
Dang it, I love the idea of making stickers of headings. Im still in education so instead of August I do a Summer holiday setup, so ive made it already. Will have to make them for september!
My reward is always a 24 hour break from productivity. I plan backpacking, hiking, work, cleaning, meals, I prioritize healthier eating and keeping things organized ~all the time~ So when I need a reward, it's usually just a full blob day.
Paper paper reminds of tea tea (chai tea). I literary have to work on the same self care routines 😅. I loved the brown colors. I realized that many of my stationary is vintage style, a lot of plants and birds.
Since I’m planning in a passport insert, I use a thermal printer for headers They will most likely fade with time but it’s purely a planner so I won’t keep it anyway
I've been doing fortnightly cycles for a couple of years now. Seeing your success with cycles of 4 weeks, I'm considering coupling 2 fortnightly cycles together for next year.
I do a self-care daily tracker but I don't keep track of how often I do them they're just ideas of things that I could do every day and then I go back and I look for patterns of maybe there's something that I haven't done for a long time and it's a reminder to go and do that little thing so I have maybe 15 across the top but I try to do four or five each day. Then I put bigger items on a bingo board for the month that I try to get done maybe once or twice.
Thank you for another lovely video - you have inspired me inspired me to do a cycle approach as mine now runs payday to payday rather than actual months and being on Month 2 i think its going to stay
I tried cyclic but couldn't get past some days at the beginning and end crossing months ends. Added to this planning for two weeks at a time didn't work, it felt too long. Recently came across Amid the Grey 10 day planning, and it feels more aligned with the way my brain works.
I have definitely went back to traditional planning calendar and weekly planning. The issue was trying to keep up with cyclic and fortnightly dating of the spreads. I struggled and got frustrated because of trying to figure out what was the cyclic dates I needed to plan for and the dates for the fortnightly and basically without a guideline for how to layout it out, I kept stuffing it up. So I reverted back in disappointment. I like the two week (fortnightly) setup idea and cyclic overview but trying to figure them out plus the reset week just got stuffed up every time I tried it. It would help with a full calendar look (or printout) of how you are planning cyclic and fortnightly date schedule.
I am SUPER curious to hear your end-of-year thoughts about switching to cyclic planning, I’ve been wondering how it’s going overall since you mentioned you were switching at the beginning of the year :) I’m glad it seems to be working out for you! I also have a…..difficult(?)..grasp of time, and I think the switch is one I’m looking at making for next year, particularly so after you mentioned in this video that the four weeks is making it easier for you to conceptualize where you are in the cycle. I love the coffee theme, and I don’t really drink it either 🤣💜
I love the colors you chose. I didn't write at all for July. After a bit of reflection on my Why, I'm back. And the printable headers is a definite win for me. Can you quickly explain your process? There are so many titles in a set up. Thank you for the video.
The general system for me was: 1. Decide on what layouts I want to have in the setup of the full month 2. Write out all the headers I would need for them, both in terms of the page overall and sub-headings 3. Pick a font that I thought matched the theme (in general. I just went for a nice and fun one this time) 4. Plan the layouts so I knew what size spaces I'd need for the headers 5. Set up a table in Microsoft office with the dimension I was using for the headers (height in particular) 6. Set the font size for the headers to fit within the table I'd made (want the font size to be big enough to fit, but not so big that it makes the table resize) 7. Arrange the headers so I can fit the maximum amount of them into the space I had 8. Print on sticker paper 9. Use a craft knife to cut around them 😊 Hope that helps!
@@JashiiCorrin wow! thanks. I tried before your answer: I mostly based on the previews months. My set up is way clearer but I forgot more than a few titles. I will have to reprint the missing ones. Your method is also waayyy less messy than what I did 🤣. I will definitely use yours. Thanks for sharing!
Re: cyclic planning, I started in Jan and think it’s going to be my preferred method going forward. I really like dealing with consistent chunks of time, just makes my brain happy. However, I do need to work on utilizing the reset weeks better- they tend to end up just being lost weeks, I think because I’m not doing enough advanced planning for them?
I was wondering if this is a A5 or b5 Journal? And do you have more videos on b5 planners? I want to start a b5 planner with parts for my work. I work as an English teacher in secondary school. Any tips?
This one is an A5 journal, but we have a playlist on the channel for B5 setups 😊 ruclips.net/p/PLFmDbK4-NLnkBOgd5uq2lvA21NCEq6WDE We also have a video for teaching related layouts that might help 👌 ruclips.net/video/Oo7mtiE8HJ0/видео.html
I mean the WINS header that people where getting confused with was written in all caps with serifs 😝 but it was funny that multiple people were like 👀 why wine though? 😂
Appreciate the offer! I more so just need to get over my FOMU (fear or messing up) and general dislike for "wasting" supplies, which I feel is going to happen when I do inevitably stuff up 😂
@@JashiiCorrin Using Cricut it's inevitable to "waste" supplies. Frustrating, but it's how we learn. And it's just the nature of the thing. But I'm happy to walk you through the basics!
This may be me notocing a patterm, and I apologize if this may sound blunt when I don't mean to. But your themes have been a lot of beige, browns from the craft aesthetic. More power to you if you love it. But seeing the samel/similar color palette in each set up gets a tad boring. Again I apologize if it sounds rude, it's your journal so you do whatever you want. Yet as a viewer who adores your content I haven't been watching your setups because of the reasons above.
Lately I've been really enjoying the craft aesthetic with brown tones in my journal, but I do mix in other colours to keep them different to one another e.g. subdued teal and orange in this one vs. golden yellow and dark red in last month's. Brown/tan is the base, but I build on top of those. The exception would be my reading journal which is pretty much just brown and tan colours 🤔 While I know it might not be everyone's favorite, I hope people can appreciate the structure and reasoning behind the layouts as a whole, beyond just the decorative style 😊🤙

Maybe the universe is telling you to add a wine section to your reflections! Get some good wine pairings for each of your wins 🍷💪🏻
Wine per win. Each time you win, you buy more wine!
Haha 😂 great ideas! 👏

I wish there was as many tea or hot chocolate tapes and stickers as there are coffee in the world of stationary. I hate even the smell of coffee. 🥲
I'm with you, although I don't dislike coffee, it's just not my #1 hot beverage.
Would certainly be nice to have the variety, yah! 💜

Oh, really great setup, I have the same coffee theme washi tapes, I love it! 🥰😇☕☕
I love you so much for show me cyclic planning. This was a great gamechanger. I love this planning.
Awww yay! I'm glad you've enjoyed it 😄
There is so much going on in August, I don't think any amount of planning will make me cool calm and collected. 🤣

Ooooh…I’m also planning a coffee theme, but for September! ☕️ Love the idea of a monthly bingo board, might have to steal that one 😊
I feel like I need the book of coffee! 😂
It's a handy lil paper pack! 💪💜 (And with your channel name, you definitely do 😂)

Jess, I love that our brains are so similar for how we used this washi tape! I also didn't like all the quotes and mostly used the decorations.
So many quotes on the roll 😂 I’ll have to save them up and give them to coffee lovers
@@JashiiCorrin I put mine in the Washi graveyard 🤣
I am using the same coffee themed tape for my August set up.
Eyyyy! Twinning 💪💜
