I was thinking that same thing
Literally came here to post this exact comment
Same ^^
@@ArcticBanshee wait is your username a combo of Arctic Monkeys and the Banshees of Inisherin bc that's the most niche thing ever and i'm here for it
same
I've never heard someone else talking about loosing time and memory while having gaps in their notebooks, that really struck me. I always felt really weird and almost insane for experiencing that same thing and hearing you talk about it made me feel so much less alone. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being so honest in your videos. - a fellow autistic person

Same!! When I get overwhelmed/stressed/burnt out, everything falls apart including my memory
Autistic as well. I always wondered why I felt like I was missing parts of my life, unable to remember things without specific cues. Finding out I’m autistic and how memories play into that is the answer that finally fits.
Ditto
I’m really grateful that I’ve found a content creator that I can relate to, it’s hard finding people who struggle with the same issues!
Me too!! I got so many great ideas from this video!! And it's so refreshing to hear someone's thoughts that are NOT all about "hustle culture" when I'm just trying to navigate life with my ND brain😁
As a fellow autistic, finding a journalling system that works for my needs is hard. This is such an informative video on how to simply keep track of life, so thank you!
@vuoeg Someone who has autism - which is disability that can effect understanding social situations, how a person communicates, and a person's experience of their sensory input (sounds, smells, visuals etc). Every autistic person is different and is affected by the disability differently :)
I was so surprised when I read ‘शुभ यात्रा’ / Happy Journey in my language. For a second, I felt as if I’m hallucinating or something. A decade of watching journalling videos and it’s my first time looking at stuff representing my motherland😁 The little train ticket from Bombay (Mumbai, India) is sooo cute! 😵💫💕 sorry for the overreaction hehe…
timestamp please?

As someone with ADHD, I absolutely love watching people's videos about how they use their notebooks and organisation tools but, more importantly, how they tailor them to suit their needs and demands in life. It was great hearing about how you use the stickers to catalogue information you've learned and want to reference about autism. I keep a digital database of advice and research I've done on ADHD both for personal and medical reference.
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything and I hope you have fun with your new system over the next few months!
I always feel so frustrated when a system doesn't work for me anymore and I have to figure out what to change but I love seeing other people find a new method that works for them. Seeing others get excited about a new system is the best 👏
Idk if anyone else has comfort videos but this is my most recent one and I cannot stop watching it. It makes me feel so calm and peaceful while also inspiring my own book keeping. Can’t get enough, thanks for the awesome video 🫶🏼
Finally someone who understands the concept of "loosing time" without planners, I'm still trying to find a system that works for me but your video really inspired me
I love that, being able to check off when it's in progress, and that it can take 3 or 4 days maybe to 'check off a task '- and it's also helpful data too for you to see when you had time/energy to do the thing!
"I feel like a genius!" you ARE! brilliant system.
Totally Charming! You really come alive describing your perfect 'system' and I get how that feels. It's THE best when it all comes together. As a fellow Sherlockian I am so curious about your A.S.H so the tentative thought of a 'zine is very exciting. I love how S.H. lives on and on and evolves in the minds of other creatives.
You even kinda got a sideways Pylon check in via the Field Notes overview 😀. Bonus Hidden Content 😎
Not a regular viewer but this was such a delightful walk through and I did love all of your talking and watched until the end! I just purchased my first Hobonichi Weeks (newly in English version with a beautiful "Milk Tea" soft cover, I couldn't resist!) so I have been voraciously consuming videos of different set ups to develop a sense of how to start using mine on November 28th. This was a very lovely explanation of your use, your thought process for the system and the Field Notes for a commonplace. I look forward to seeing how this system continues to be used by you!
The brown TN cover is so beautiful.
Thank you for this. I’m someone who has a really hard time with page per day because I cannot see the entire week at once. I’m not a multitasker at all, but my job requires me to be very organised and my nature is very forgetful about daily tasks. Your videos are lovely and very well-expressed. I’m already set up in a Cousin again… I just keep trying! Im going to use it as a notebook and try the Weeks for my daily planner.
Loved this video so so so much
Megan seems to have a very systematic organization method. It’s just satisfying to see everything aligned. We all hope to see more content like this. May God bless her and this channel in particular.
Looks really nice! I have always wanted to try the field notes notebooks but I have so many unused notebooks that I just can’t justify the purchase 😅 so thanks for letting us see how they are like. When I’m done with my current stash I am getting a set for sure.
It feels good to know I'm not alone in the world of having stacks of unused notebooks. 🙃 I just bought a beautiful spiral today to add to the beautiful pile.
Me too! I think they are too pretty to write in them so I have a huge collection of blank notebooks!😂
@@lisaakhtarekhavari7614 I know what you mean! Sometimes I want to write in all of them and can't decide which one to stick to. I'm a K-5 Art teacher and it's always soooo difficult to choose my lesson planbook - I still haven't settled on one for this school year but I think I'll have THE one locked down after our Thanksgiving break. 😉
I came across your channel the other day (maybe even yesterday lol) and may I just say that I have been loving and binging your content. It's so nice to see someone similar as me in many ways and you also have such a good spirit around you! Loved absolutely everything about this video and all the others!! Thanks for taking your time and making these they really are a blessing ❤️
Also love the nails 😉😆
okay, this might be a bit dumb/I might be missing something but given that you have your daily tasks on the left side of the margin. how do you fit in the days of the week? there are only six squares. I really want to do the same set up but it's really bugging me that I can't figure it out.
I love the color coding idea! I also have an obsession with information so most of my commonplace book looks like yours in terms of article notes and margínela. I started keeping journals because of my crummy memory too 😊
I subbed your channel...1st, because I love your works with your organizing your day with a notebook. ...
2nd reason, is because your voice + accent, is so pleasant to listen too.
Your Creation of the Commonplace Notebook is fantastic !!
I wanted to drop a line to say that I absolutely love the way you format and use your common place books. I’ve begun using this format and I’ve drawn a LOT of inspiration from your spreads. I find it so interesting how we all use common place books for different things and they are all valid. Thank you for sharing this, Megan!
I love listening to you; I could do it all day. I’m thinking of hopping onto a Hobonichi, and even more so with the vegan leather cover for a fauxdori. Thanks for this video! :)
Hello, Megan! I'm really happy I found you. Of course, I had to subscribe. I have mental health issues and I really want to use the weeks to, not only plan, but to "hold myself up". I'm retired and have no one depending on me except my pets. I plan on doing some habit tracking (a lot), setting up to-do lists that will help me take better care of myself and get me back into my artwork. Anyway, it was helpful seeing how you use your weeks to help take care of yourself. And....those TN's are really sexy. I'm into them, as well. Thanks, again!
I cackled at your “I feel like a genius” comment about the notebook system 😂 that’s how I felt when the thought occurred to me several months ago to get a travelers notebook cover much like the one you have for my Stalogy 365 notebook. It really works! I haven’t stuck to planner/journaling system for this long in years and much of it is thanks in part to being inspired by your color dot system which is just *chefs kiss* when it comes to staying organized for the ND mind. I hope it works for you as well and that you find much joy in it. 🥰
Bullet journaling is my special interest! Though I too loose time and have spaces missing in my journal because I have ADHD. But its not so much about consistency for me as it is to record moments in my life (I also have a bad memory) and to be able to look back and see big events and/or small moments that touch my life. That's why I keep journaling~ Its also so nice to have everything in one place. I have monthly and weekly spreads that I designed myself (I just have a blank dotted notebook), journaling pages, and then I can add anything I want at any time~ Its honestly such a beautiful hobby that I've been able to stick to for years now. It has no restrictions and you can truly design it to your needs! Your video was so lovely! Very relaxing and I love seeing other peoples journaling/notebook methods. Thank you for showing us!!
i am less than two minutes in to this video. i adore how calm it's made me feel and how my brain has slowed down, i have researched what a commonplace book is and fallen into a hole and am now researching to find one that i will buy to use, and i miraculously feel tremendously inspired and motivated to do absolutely everything and i've only known about you for 100 seconds. thank you
You had me at “I’m a little gremlin with a hoard of tiny words!” ❤🎉
Great notes Meghan! It's odly satisfying to see how small you write and how beautiful it looks!
I've never seen the commonplace system before, will definitely consider implementing that into my journal! I also massively appreciate you being open about not being productive and struggling to take of yourself sometimes. I struggle with the same things (in my case because of ADHD and depression) and it is so nice to see someone else using journaling not to become some kind of productivity machine but to actually just manage day-to-day life
Hi Megan, I just stumbled on your video because I’ve ordered a Weeks and I really don’t know how to make it work for me… A nice surprise for me is to hear that you’re autistic because I just found out I’m autistic like two weeks ago. I hope I can make the weeks work for me as good it works for you. I’m still a bit overwhelmed to be honest and don’t really know how to begin haha! Just a question to understand better; why do you keep a notebook next to the weeks for journaling when you’re also journaling in your weeks? I like to color code system, maybe that would be a nice thing to try out as well! Thank you so much for this video and I will watch it multiple times to get all the information hihi. Thank you!
love the update! i do something very similar - but switched! I commonplace/brain dump in an a6 hobonichi (bigger space for me to freely write long-form) and then daily tasks in a field notes bc I typically do the same things every day so I don't need as much room to log it all - PLUS the field notes fit perfectly in the lil a6 cover's inside pockets!
I watched this 3 times already, partly because my memory is horrible and I just got my hobonichi weeks and wanted to take inspiration, but mostly because your voice is really soothing and your videos overall are great company (and again, my memory sucks so I can watch the same video over and over again)❤
Lol me too
oh my gosh the excitement I got when you mentioned you're autistic. I'm autistic as well and I've been struggling so hard recently with trying to figure out a planning system, and so I've been watching a lot of hobonichi videos lately. as great as the systems other people use are for them, I haven't seen anything that I could use to plan and keep track of things in the very specific way that I need in order to regulate myself. its such a relief to finally find a creator on here who is autistic! the methods you mention in this video have helped me in my own planning journey more than all the videos I have watched previously!
Hi Megan, love the video & just subscribed. I don’t know if you have heard of a company called GoodInkPressions. It’s located in Spain & do custom notebooks using the same paper as in Hobonichi weeks. You can get all sizes of inserts with what size grid you want (when I get a grid notebook they will do my favourites 4mm spacing. I love square corners and they accommodate. You should check them out. They do Hobonichi weeks sized inserts & field notes sized as well as others. You might like them.
I completely second that, GoodInkPressions notebooks are amazing and the owner is really helpful/accomodating if you need something a little special.
This is legitimately the most aesthetic set up I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing!!
Idk how these algorithms know me so dang well but wow… so glad this video popped up on my feed today. Currently in between a bullet journal, a regular journal and a giant planner I THOUGHT I’d love but today I just felt so fed up with it all. Obsessed with all of this, thanks for sharing this clever little system of yours! 💘 so inspired 💖
Videos like this make me miss using a Hobonichi so so much, but the paper & time commitment didn't work for me :( I absolutely adore my digital planner but gooooodness there's something so divine about flipping through Tomoe paper!
i love the new setup. i’m so excited to start journaling, planning, and commonplacing for 2023
Self dx, at 59, AuDHD, and I really appreciate your channel. Journaling and writing has helped me immensely. Gratitude.
Your nails are pretty
I really enjoyed your video! I can’t wait to rewatch later this week (because it’s so relaxing). Watching your videos always makes me very excited to get into my own planners/journal. I also, love the attention to detail with how you frame your videos. 💖☺️
i loved the video so much!! it made me get up and update my notebook that I haven't touched for an ungodly amount of time. plus, I adored how you explain everything and it's all catered to you to but pretty well done
When she lit the candle I thought she was going to burn the planner 😂😅😅
how can you write so small? Is there a trick to it?
This is such an interesting video, thanks for sharing 😊❤️
thank you for sharing your notebooks with us! it was a joy to watch this video and hear your excitement about your newfound system 🤗
i tried keeping a hobonichi cousin this year for the first time and failed miserably, mainly because it was so overwhelming. but i think i found the solution to fill it out next year with the things i want to focus on improving and managing. if it doesn't work again, the weeks it is then 😅i'm also trying common placing on a separate notebook to keep track of my personal interests and brain dump, and have you to thank because i had never heard of this system before.
hope our systems work for both of us 🤞
Thank you so much for sharing your notebook system, I’m a new subscriber and was really looking forward for some kind of update :)
I was just watching another planner RUclipsr and she reminded me of the Jibun Techo Idea book, since she just bought her first kit. The Idea book is a gridded notebook, and has a margin drawn on the left side of the paper. The pages are not numbered. I think i may try them as a commonplace book, after my fiend notes I have on hand are used.
Megan, you have really influenced and inspired all my bullet journaling over the years. I stared with Rhodia in 2017. I'm currently using Leuchtturm grid pages A5 notebooks. I've been through many iterations of bullet style journals over the years, because I am also looking for the perfect system for me. I love this setup and it looks so streamlined, neat, clean and organized. Thanks so much for sharing all the details of your current tracking, journaling and note taking methods. I am just learning the commonplace methods and super excited about this way of organizing information. I hope you have a wonderful day. Cheers, Silvia ps. I am also a little dragon who loves hoarding words. :)
That’s a great setup!
I am German and your pronounciation of ‘Leuchtturm’ wasn’t too bad. The ch-sounds are really difficult for non native speakers. In Leuchtturm it isn’t a ‘shh’-sound but more like a cat softly hissing. If it tickles your throat, it is too rough.
The other ch-Sound like in words as ‘Dach’(roof) is the harsch and rough sound where you go all in with the throat-tickling trying to imitate a growling grizzly.
Yeah, our language sounds wild.
I (mental health) journaled in Field notes for a year before I moved to A5. Also been planning in a Moleskine A5 Weekly Planner.
However, i have ordered a hobo weeks. Seeing how big the weeks and field notes are. Im worried my planner might be a but small. I also got the weeks notebooks from hobo. So i when i fill my A5’s I can have a planner and journal in matching sizes. But your making me wanna get more field notes XD
Really like all the autistic stuff and how you reference it. Really helps.
HAVE YOU SEEN THE ENOLA HOLMES MOVIE OR READ THE BOOKS BECAUSE I JUST WATCHED IT AND OMGGGGG I LOVED IT SO MUCH. It was awesome, I really liked it. Wasn’t sure if you had seen it anyways love your video! Thank you for posting! ❤
I know this is old, but I loved this video and watched to the end. Just ordered my first Weeks and loving discovering other UK channels talking about notebooks.
Thank you and yes I watched to the end. I have Autism/ADHD and 5 children with Autism/ADHD and 2 grand babies with Autism/ADHD...I also developed MS last Christmas, so insanely busy, exhausted and forgetful...your video helps me with new layouts and creative ideas. Thank you! Can't wait to get started on a notebook🙂
“I’m like a dragon with a hoard, except my hoard is just really tiny words.”😂❤
Just came here to comment. You lighting that match in the beginning gave me anxiety 😂
whered you get the little dot stickers?
Hi Megan! May I ask what size and color you got the cover in? Thanks so much! Love your videos and watching your updates!!
You make me miss my sticker system. 😊I kept running out of one or two colors and having to buy new packs so I switched to dot markers. Making dots is satisfying and all, but still not quite as fun as playing with stickers.
Beautiful awesome work 💟❤💛💝💛💖❤💛💝💛💗💜
Your planners are one of the prettiest I have seen on the internet no cap. Subscribed
I'm so excited to watch!! Thanks for creating it Meghan!!
I got so nervous when that match neared your notebook.
I'm late to the party, but this video was so cool and helpful, Megan! I lose a lot of time to brain fog and chronic pain so it was really helpful to hear how you adapt your notebook to cooperate with where you are. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Wow your system is impressive, thank you for sharing. I picked up some ideas for my weeks.
Suggestion that helped me so much with maintaining a journal practice start out with either a junk journal that you made or repurposed( my first was a partially used planner from 2020, cause what was the use of planning😂!) or just a kids 50 cent composition book, that way when you dump all your feelings, and ugly cry on it, or rip the cover, and snot on the pages you dont care its junk to start with and once you get used to being vulnerable like that you can upgrade because you will know that the pretty journals can take your ugly feelings, and crappy handwriting just as well.....the point is you, the reason is you this will help you let the roadblocks go.. happy Journaling!
love how clean but decorative your notebooks are 😍😍😍 i wish mine would also look the same haha I try to be minimal with decor but I think my handwriting is too wobbly lol.
im really curious how people organize their notes and which notebooks are for~ can someone summarize the purpose my out of focus brain only focused on how beautiful these pages are 😭😭
"Managing my existance" I feel you. I'm trying to do that too.
The thing that stresses me out about having a system like this is I’m afraid if I made my diary as beautiful as this - that people would want to look at it all the time and it’s filled with so many personal details. Just thinking about having to tell people they can’t look at it makes me feel so uncomfortable!
Привет! мне очень понравилось твоё видео, я смотрю его с помочью голосового переводчика и я могу понимать тебя!Это замотивировало меня, спасибо🤍🤍🤍
Needed this video to relax. Thank you Meghan 🧡
you don't talk too much at all! i got a lot of great ideas from this, and also - high five from another sherlock holmes fan!
I'm so happy to have found your channel! I have an adult autistic daughter and I think she needs to watch your videos just to see how you organise your planner. Actually, I think we could all learn from you! Your layouts are neat and uncluttered. I love it. I also love the way you have the commonplace book in the notes section. Bravo!
Second time watching this! Loved this video. Makes a lot of sense to me. My weeks will get here in a few days 😍
So cool to see you bought from Cadeneta Notebooks! I was so happy when I found out they had affordable vegan TN type covers, and also they are based pretty close to where Iive so... perfect: local, handmade and cruelty free. 🌱
Hope your system feels as satisfying as it looks ✨
How do you make sure your journaling entries fit into the small daily spaces?
Also interested in where you got some of the penguin stickers you have 💕
I almost fainted at first because I thought the match would touch the notebook and burn everything 😰
love the notes section - a huge scary part of journaling for me is writing about my day, so having an entire blank page to write about one day would lock me up. i’m a writer and i always have little thoughts throughout the day, so having a place that can collect those thoughts and be organized in a way that works for me is so smart
I thought I was crazy for copying out articles I liked by hand 😲
I really enjoyed this video, and I don’t think you talked too much😀. I’m working on a couple of notebooks that I might use next year to hold things I don’t want to put in my planner. While my categories will be different, I may give your color coding system a try. Thanks for sharing it.
this video was literally perfect. you explained your system (which makes so much sense to me) and you also made your setup cute and happy looking. i loved it! you didn't talk to much at all :)
I will be taking some things from this and I think it will super help me
I'm still searching for "the one" --that planner, that system that I'm completely happy with. I like your layout. I'm definitely going to try this!
Really enjoyed this video. Lots of ideas. Thanks.
Knowledge is power people use it to hurt people
❤ this notebook idea is fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing! Glad to see that I am not the only one with an obsession for notebooks.❤
Not sure if I'm autistic (havent checked yet ) but yeah I have the same journal problems that you have and I'm just happy that you love the travelers notebook and that you're also using a frixion pen ❤
We have a similar commonplacing system, although I only recently learned that word! I like your brighter stickers and next time I buy them I’m going to get brighter colours. You have a wonderful way of explaining it. I’m going to share your video in my notes. Thank you again!
Not me watching this and rethinking my entire organizational system (that wasn't working super well anyway)
thank you for this amazing video!!! currently lying under my weighted blanket while journaling and it is the most perfect company
this was so calming i love it. i cant afford nor like hobonichi myself, but i got inspiration for my self designed bujo so that was also a bonus. and i love your writing style!
I just found your channel and I’m in loveeee I wish I could be as aesthetic while being so practical anyway thnx for making my day better :)
Your planner updates give me so much joy! I am currently watching this a second time.
I absolutely love your layout for the Weeks! I got my first one a few months ago and gave been struggling to make it work for me, but you’ve inspired me to try a more simple setup 😁
I was really happy to see you talk about this is a way for you to (paraphrasing here) help you improve your daily life. I only recently found out I have innatentive adhd AND I'm autistic. I've been trying to bullet journal. I tried some years ago and didn't really stick to it. Now I'm trying it again and at least I have answers to why I am the way I am.
Just found you x what a lovely video! Enjoyed very much mainly due to your calm voice….lovely x
I'm not sure if I missed it but I wanted to ask where you write / how you deal with tasks that are due weeks or months away? Or do you primarily focus on doing your tasks for just that week alone?
