Have you set up your BuJo for 2020 yet? Or are you continuing on in your current notebook? Thanks for hanging out with me for this set up! I hope you caught the plantmas word of the day in the video 👀❤️ Get 10% off your Archer & Olive purchase with code PBB10: www.archerandolive.com?aff=20
im amazed at how they can have so much patience when setting their bullet journals up. I would prolly start doing mine then stopping after 3 pages and continue the next day🥴
Home office: Totally separate space. You go when you are working (to the room) and can’t do house stuff (because you’re “at” work). Outside of the office space? Then you are not at work. I even started keeping two phones so I can leave work at home. Got sick of answering calls at Target. It’s stressful. A solid schedule is helpful too, complete with breaks. I’ve done this system with as little as a desk in my bedroom. Little weird, but I’d walk out, shut the door to my bedroom and came back into my office. You just have to stick to it. I think people get into trouble when they forget that they work from home, as opposed to working anytime you’re at home. Maybe it’s more like your office is at your home, your whole ass home isn’t your office. That’s what I’ve got from 15 years of working from home. Hope there’s something to think about.
TheGooglyminotaur As someone who’s also been self-employed over a decade, I agree with this. If you can’t dedicate a space, try putting away work things, like notebooks or computers when the work day ends. Even try having a personal and work computer account so you log out and don’t go into your work email until morning. It’s so difficult but so worth it for your own well-being. And go for walks, lots of walks to clear your head. 😊
Wow thank you! Great tip. Ive been struggling because i will take breaks from work to clean/cook. I really should "pack a lunch" and schedule another time for cleaning.
Totally separate space and computer logins are SO helpful. Even if they are just as simple as a basket to contain your work logs and papers and stationery that can be put away when you're "Off Duty". We had separate binders and computer logins for Farm Stuff. You can still do "lunch at home" but set an alarm and when "lunchtime" is over, back to work you go. Yes, cleaning when you're "off duty" from work is essential. One other thing that people who work outside the home do is change clothes immediately when they get home. Even if it's as simple as changing your shirt or putting on an apron or cleaning supplies thingy, it helps to delineate "work" from "home". In our house, everyone gets half an hour "quiet time" when they get home from work/school/the field before they have to launch into household activities. My additional advice is to share your goals with someone to keep you accountable. When someone queries "Aren't you supposed to be off duty now?" it helps a lot to get you back on track. We had a unique set-up. Himself and I worked at the same off-the-farm-job with rotating shifts aka Tag-Team-Parenting, we both worked on-the-farm, and when Kidlet was small, we had to have a Designated Parent-In-Control [PIC] at all times. Once Kidlet even walked into a room where Himself and I were having a coffee and asked: "Who is PIC?" LOL Neither of us was wearing "off the farm work clothes" and she couldn't tell who was on days off. I also maintained a Family Monthly Whiteboard. We each had our own colour for our shift schedules, Kidlet and school events were in kidlet's colour and anything else [Dr., orthodontist, continuing education classes, swimming lessons, farm deliveries, etc.] were put in the colour of the PIC responsible. So if you have a family wall calendar for a couple of weeks to help you develop a new habit, you might want to mark in your "Work Hours".
Same. I love it so much!! I’m working on wrapping and journaling while I’m watching. So I’ve played the video three times and still haven’t caught the word. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😂
Shanya Virasinghe Same!!!! Lately I've been following you a lot more than Amanda 😬🤫. Shhhh the lil doodles will kill me !!! Bahahaha i still love her ! I've just been really into your spreads lately they're so gorgeous
That isn't gold, but a full brass ruler from Traveler's Company. Bloody expensive, however for anyone with tight budget can opted for brass plated made in china ruler.
There's always something so incredibly surreal about watching videos from around Dec 2019 through Jan 2020 and hearing what they thought their 2020 was going to be like. It's almost unsettling.
Can we all take a moment and give a sigh of appreciation for that Pentel gold gel pen? Looks like it worked wonderfully and really made every page pop like gold foil. :)
Omg !!! Girl Your Setup is Gorgeous. I am loving the Gold iin this one, one of the Best 2020 Setups I have seen so far & the aesthetics of this video is also gorgeous...keep it up... Thanks for the Lovely Inspo !!!
I NEVER thought to have a page with the grid lines drawn!!!! Holy shit!!! That's brilliant. I'm someone who finds it so hard to count all the dots and try to estimate sizes...so that will help me a LOT. Woah. I'm shooketh.
I was watching Amanda and you showed up in my recommendations... this whole spread is sooo cute, but the quote idea in his handwriting is my favorite thing.
This year's GOLD theme is just LIT! Definitely one of the best 2020 setups I have seen so far. Thank you for this "shining" inspo💫 Just finished up a 2020 bujo setup vid on my channel as well after seeing your vid, very inspiring!
This is beautiful. I’m always so blown away by how creative your spreads are. It’s just the right amount of flare so that it’s not too busy - just how I like my bujo to be. Love watching your channel for inspo!!!
I swear I could watch your videos all day. Something about your voice and the aesthetics of your videos is so soothing! I'm more of a silver girl myself but your setup made me consider gold! So beautiful 😍
My book reccs since you asked: “There is No Good Card For This” -Emily McDowell (A really great resource on navigating other peoples grief loss or other personal difficulties) “Small Fry”-Lisa Brennan-Jobs (A memoir by Steve Jobs’ eldest daughter) “Bossy pants”-Tina Fey (An absolute riot of Tinas personal stories) “The Four Tendencies”, “The Happiness Project”& “Better than Before” all by Gretchen Rubin (One writer’s endeavours to understand humans better) “Joyful” by Ingrid Fetell Lee (Fetell Lee describes the “aesthetics of joy” that make objects and spaces more joyful!) All these books I’ve read since downloading Audible and they are all fantastic
Kind of random book I found at the library: We the Drowned. It is super gritty and real, although written in a fictional style. Also like 600 pages so it's a commitment
You are hands down my favourite RUclipsr- the content you create is beautiful but you're also such a fantastic and thoughtful human. Your language and demeanour is so considerate of others and I just wish the world had more people like you (and I had your creativity skills lol!)
I LOVE the idea of making it look like F Scott Fitzgerald gifted the notebook to you! Think I’ll do the same with Langston Hughes 💕 I studied literature during undergrad and the 1920s were my favorite era for American lit. Kind of exciting to think we’re _entering the 20s_ 😂
I work from home, i calendar block specific duties and stick to it, also I have program goals and timelines that are a basic list of things to tackle for each program, events, those are my long term planning notes to myself. I also delay send myself emails as specific reminders. With the calendar block people can’t schedule me for other appointments. I plan conferences and run education programs, this has helped me to check in and remind myself to keep working on my plans and goals. I don’t think I’ll let go of my actual planner, but i do like the other portions of the journal...right now I have a thought journal, brain dump journal, i like the idea of combining and editing my thoughts to essential bullet points. Thanks for the video
I have never seen anything so creative and beautiful. This video popped up as a recommendation on my feed, and wow - what an introduction to your channel! I can tell I’m going to be bingeing on your videos non-stop. You’re extremely talented.
Recently found your channel. Woooowwwww. Okay. Thank you for re-motivating me to fall in love with my bullet journal again. 2020 was just one of those years and well. The artful intention of it fell off. Even still in post apocalyptic 2021. Thank you so much. You’re a gem. Plus let’s mention the use of “y’all” which, as a southerner, I’m here for. Have I overlooked a video of how you letter your spreads? My handwriting is atrocious and I find it hard to free hand different fonts.
Ohhh my gosh okay I don't normally directly use other people's designs and such in my own bujo (decorative stuff, not functional stuff -- the rolling weekly is absolutely what got me through my final projects this semester), but as I set up my stuff for 2020 I am absolutely stealing all this for my own. I just adore how everything looks here! And I also prefer the more minimalist design for at least the beginning of the year, to start it off all clean and slick. So excited to see the rest of your Plantmas videos!
I work from home. I've found having regular extracurricular activities at specified times really helps me force myself to stop at 5 PM if I have something coming up at say, 7. Otherwise, I've been known to stay up til 2 writing reports and regret my decisions the next day when my work isn't up to my usual standards.
I struggle with the work/life balance, I find setting a schedule on excel can help and an alarm on the day when I’ve set my schedule so I know when to stop. It takes a tiny bit of work but there’s also the option of a stop watch with a set amount of work time so you stop and take breaks. I’ve been known to miss meals and sleep to keep working.... exhibit A it’s not 6am here and I started at 4pm.....
Ok, that gold pen is making me want to hop in my car right now to go buy it!! I think what makes it so striking is your Art Deco designs because they look like gold leaf. Such a gorgeous layout! Since I just caught the bullet journaling bug in August, I will be heading into 2020 using the same journal. ❤️😁
This design looks so elegant!!! And I love that your clip and scissors are also gold colour which make the whole video in one theme colour haha. I started to think that B5 is a good size because of this video, 32x46 give much more space for tables... But all my notebooks are in A5 now so maybe try out after I finished the current ones.
So...I’ve been watching a ton of bujo videos and not only does this hit the target for me with the Art Deco theme but the “ideal daily schedule” page was what spoke to me. Thank you!
personally, i use the bullet journal/planner just to have fun decorating it and i never end up really using it for notes and appointments. that’s my way of relaxing after a long day at work. love this setup, love the decorations!
The round designs are actually considered apart of the ART NOUVEAU style, but no art style is completely deviod of the inspiration from previous and overlappimg styles
So much inspiration for my 2020 set up! I really want to use your Kanban spread for school projects, and edit your period tracker to use as more of an anxiety/stress spread! Thanks for the amazing inspo and pleasing my eyes! :)
I'd love to see your goals. It's so easy to get stuck on your old ones and miss changing it up so it would be nice to get some inspiration. And those calender stickers are a NEED! So much time saved!!
I've been working from home for 6 years and my favorite separation tips is that I work in my basement suite (the living room) which has French doors. I keep my work 100% in this room and do not work in any other space. This means when I go upstairs for lunch, it's as if I have left the office. For lunch I normally cook myself something rather than eat a sandwich at my desk and I watch some Netflix for my break. I also keep my art/craft space separate from my work area and it's set up in the "kitchen" of the suite. so my hobbies are separate from my work! I normally work from 7 to 6 which does impact health / mind so it's important to get outside during the day.
@@PlantBasedBride Having worked from home myself and had limited space available in a previous configuration... You don't need a separate room for your office. Just limit all "work" functions to a specific area that is off-limits once your "workday" ends. If the work area needs to be shared with other functions, do your best to clean up / put away work items when work ends so that you're not tempted to just 'do this one quick thing' (which always turns into many 'one quick things' and several hours). Even things as simple as picking up all pens and pencils and storing them in a drawer or box and closing notebooks can provide enough of a reminder that those are work items that you're opening up during the non-work time. Any reminder helps on this issue. My wife has a very small desk she uses that the front closes. This also helps keep the multi-use space looking neat when she isn't working.
This is gorgeous! I really love that you were concise in the materials you used. I watched another RUclipsr do their spread and it was gorgeous, but she pulled out like 5 new products per page and it was quite excessive. This gives a much more accessible impression of bullet journaling, like you can make it look nice and polished without spending tons and tons of money on supplies. Definitely subscribing, can't wait to watch more of your videos!
Okay WOW loving how this looks so far, the black and gold is so clean! I still have a Fox and Fallow journal to use but I definitely have my heart set on getting an Archer & Olive journal next!
This is the most gorgeous journal I’ve ever seen. I started one in 2017 and didn’t use it all year in the end, I’m thinking I’ll try again. The stamp set is adorable and less than £15 in the UK, quite a find. I love Art Deco too, such patience to do all the lines and curves.
I saw your period tracker, i did this years ago, tracking headaches, my mood, my energy, i did it on an excel sheet...I found a pattern, relating to food consumed, time with sun exposure, sleep, i made self improvements because of the list...
Ohhh. . . perfect timing! I just bought a planner yesterday, too. The gold accent adds so much elegance to the minimalistic vibe. Anyhow, Imma steal the Kanban and Ideal day. I need those to keep myself on track with my art and life in general. 😂 Lastly, the evolution of your bujo and video making is just inspiring! I remember seeing your older videos and the growth is just insane. Just goes to show how we improve by simply committing to things we love. And btw, are u going to do your husband's set up too? Im excited to see how that turns out too.
❤️ the Art Deco pages and how bright your golds come out. Got too excited for my January spread so didn't leave room in the beginning of the book for anything else. Will probably add it to the back of the book. 😅 First time using an A5 notebook so I have room in this 2nd ever BuJo of mine. Looking forward to tomorrow's video! Thank you.
Have you ever used a "Rolling Ruler" when drawing parallel lines? Another technique is to get two small drafting triangles, set the long edge of one along the line you wish to draw parallel to, then place the second one firmly against one of the other edges (preferably at 90 degrees to the baseline), then slide the first triangle along the second to the position of the next parallel line to be drawn and draw the line. You can keep sliding the first triangle along the second one to draw several parallel lines before having to reposition the second triangle. There are also calligraphy rules that have lines along one edge that are intended to be parallel to that edge, but I've not seen reliable results from these.
Awkward moment when 2020 was more like the 1920’s than we really wanted... 😅😂 these spreads are beautiful though, love that the gold and black pen theme goes with the cover of the note book too
Putting washi tape at the edges of important pages is such a good idea! How did I never think of that?! :D Also I love this simple but cute black&gold setup! Now I feel inspired for setting up my own new bujo :)
I admit I'm not a minimalist when it comes to planners(I use abt 6 lol) and I'm still new to BJing but your 2020 BJ is absolutely STUNNING!! I think I might have to give this type of planning another try P.S. Since you're a fan of FSF, ArtDeco and the "Roaring 20's", then you might agree wth me that while "The Great Gatsby" movie from the early 70's didn't get great reviews, it still was nice looking at Robert Redford for three dreamy hours lol.
I also work from home and it's a struggle to find balance I have yet to find something that works well for me. I'm doing a 1820s theme focusing on Percy Shelley's poems from that year and the language of flowers from the time period.
This is a belated comment but I have been watching bullet journal vids on/off for a year and you were the one who finally convinced me to start my own a month ago! I really loved your period tracker, wishlist/purchases tracker and your rolling weekly tasks and incorporated them all into my own. I still come back to get more inspo from you haha (I'm about to try out your 'ideal day' one and that's why I'm back and writing this comment). Thanks for making all these videos!
Dont mind me just finding you and bingeing everything. This one is so beautiful! I love Art Deco. I'm an artist but am somehow feeling uncreative in my BuJo... these videos are inspiring me.
This is the most inspiring 2020 setup, I've watched it like 3 times now! I'm definitely going to do try art deco inspired theme for my 2020 setup. Im so excited!!!
I've been using washi tape on the edge of my monthly pages for years! It makes things so much easier! Also, a favorite book of all time: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I really think you'll love that one.
I really liked the unconventional spreads you made like the invoices, video kanban board, etc. The setup overall turned super pretty and sophisticated...
Hi! I just started working from home for the past two months, and I definitely agree that it’s hard to stop. I’ll find myself doing something unproductive and immediately thinking that I could be doing x,y, and z. I find the best way for me to be on a normal schedule is to try and be in routine with my boyfriend, and usually we hang out around 6:30 pm until we go to sleep. A way that I mark this is by what time I want to have a drink, so I’ll stop and get a beer and then I won’t feel like doing any more work for the day, and by that point I’ve gotten all my necessary work done so I can stop! If you don’t drink, maybe use this time to start doing a fun activity because you’ll feel inclined to stop because you’d rather do this one activity that you do at 7:30. Let me know your thoughts!
Self- love can also be stuff to stop doing. So working until 1-2 AM... maybe include the ways you want to spend that time instead. That’s definitely self-love! But the spreads are gorgeous! Watching you create the fonts was very mesmerizing
This is totally random, but I don't hear the word y'all a lot where I am from (upstate NY) and I love that word. Half of my family is from Louisiana and I am pretty close with one of my cousins (but not the other ones sadly) do that side. She is one of my favorite people ever, but I very rarely get to see her and the way you say y'all reminds me of her and I absolutely LOVE it. Sorry for this way to long and random comment.
Aw haha thank you for sharing that! You don’t hear it a lot in Canada, either, but I wanted to replace my habit of saying “you guys” all the time and decided y’all was a good option! Now it’s just a habit and I like it ☺️
I really like your idea of placing washi tape on the side of a page instead of making tabs or using a bookmark. I'm definitely going to try this in 2020.
Her: Decorating her Journal Calmly and her mind is working Calmly... Me: Over Thinking of my Design. Buying things she had and Don't even use it.😂😂 Btw your so Talented!❤
Hooooooooly crap I love your style so much!!!! SO MUCH!!! It's so satisfying, I love to have tight lines in my bujo, and I've been really into them again lately! But I absolutely love yours, and how pretty it is, If I could I'd artdeco the entire year, honestly. Amazing aesthetic! I actually never thought about having a different theme every month, that's a very interesting idea as well!
Ohhhh shiny! 💛 love the theme and black and gold. Best music choices too!! Looking forward to getting my 2020 set up now. Thanks so much for showing us.
Even though I'm an avid RUclips viewer, I hardly ever comment on videos. But I had to comment on this one because the layout and design is absolutely GENIUS! Not only do I personally love the art deco aesthetic as well (I actually have an art deco themed half sleeve tattoo), it's so perfect since we're heading into the 20s. Well done! I've already set up my bullet journal for January, but I may have to use some of these designs for February. :)
Love the spacing page, I could've done it in my journal but I made a rookie mistake of forgetting to leave a page or two empty at the beginning. But I am a rookie so it's fine, I'll do that page in my next year's journal. 😊
I love the gold accents and gold tools. This set up is really inspired by the 1920's where the era of modern art, music, fashion, writing, lifestyle and etc had began. Love the Gatsby theme.
Your spread looks absolutely beautiful, I´m absolutely in love with it! Thank U for this inspiration!!! Plant based and sunny greetings from Munich in Germany and merry Christmas!!!!

Plant Based Bride I’m getting Amanda rach Lee’s bullet journal🥰
I already set up my book for 2020...but unfortunately...IT WAS SOOOO BAD
i have and i love how clear it is but a week in and it's a mess but atleast it works for me
I've started mine but bow after seeing yours feel like such an under achiever.
Cindy Stem yeah, I know what you mean😪
im amazed at how they can have so much patience when setting their bullet journals up. I would prolly start doing mine then stopping after 3 pages and continue the next day🥴
I definitely did this over two days haha
Mine are never ever that involved. I would lose my mind. I loved a lot of the ideas but just WATCHING the execution gave me anxiety...
Same ^-^
I will do 5 and then I will hide the notebook somwhere far from me
I am in love with the 20's and gold theme - going to try this on my January spread!!
Yay! I’d love to see it ❤️ tag me on Instagram!
I was thinking the same thing! I’m running out to Staples ASAP to get some GOOOOOOLD
I was thinking about doing this as well!

My favourite 2020 set up so far (and I’ve watched LOTS) That gold ruler is everything 😊
Aw well thank you! 🥰❤️
Same. I love it so much!!
I’m working on wrapping and journaling while I’m watching. So I’ve played the video three times and still haven’t caught the word. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😂

😭 it’s so sad, honestly. We didn’t know what was coming 😔
‘If you are a *human* who menstruates’
This is why I love you and this channel. 💕
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you
Ana Sol. Some transgender men still menstruate.
@@AnaLoo86 No, you need help, you came here to troll and spread negative energy.
Ana Sol no, they’re men ☺️
the way drew that "future log" was a whole another level
Just perfect
Right?? Like I split 3 pages into 4 quadrants and added month names and I was like done. Hers is gorgeous
This is so inspiring! Love how you let people vote on your spread. Could I ask which ragtime song is playing in the background?
Thank you! ☺️ I’ll have to double check the song in davinci when I get the chance. It’s form the RUclips audio library!
sir where have you been??
Goodbyeee againn
Can we all take a moment and give a sigh of appreciation for that Pentel gold gel pen? Looks like it worked wonderfully and really made every page pop like gold foil. :)

Aw thank you so so much! 🥰
I’m very impressed by the way you use the ruler for writing
Me too, I had never seen anyone do that before!
I NEVER thought to have a page with the grid lines drawn!!!! Holy shit!!! That's brilliant. I'm someone who finds it so hard to count all the dots and try to estimate sizes...so that will help me a LOT. Woah. I'm shooketh.
Yeah! I first saw Amanda Rach Lee do it and now it’s a staple for me ❤️
I was so intrigued on your use of the ruler and stencil. Such a Rad Set-Up
I was watching Amanda and you showed up in my recommendations... this whole spread is sooo cute, but the quote idea in his handwriting is my favorite thing.
You are absolutely amazing for saying "human who menstruates" instead of "woman". Thank you for being mindful and inclusive!
Just doing my best to make my channel an inclusive space! ☺️❤️
This year's GOLD theme is just LIT! Definitely one of the best 2020 setups I have seen so far. Thank you for this "shining" inspo💫 Just finished up a 2020 bujo setup vid on my channel as well after seeing your vid, very inspiring!
I actually did an art deco theme for december inspired by your earlier setup. This is such a nice surprise!
Oh amazing! 🥰
This is beautiful. I’m always so blown away by how creative your spreads are. It’s just the right amount of flare so that it’s not too busy - just how I like my bujo to be. Love watching your channel for inspo!!!
Aw thank you! I appreciate that so much 🥰
I swear I could watch your videos all day. Something about your voice and the aesthetics of your videos is so soothing! I'm more of a silver girl myself but your setup made me consider gold! So beautiful 😍
Aw thank you so much! What a kind thing to say 🥰
EASILY the most mature and elegant journal I've seen - finally something that can be befitting of someone in their later 20s xD
Aw thank you so much!
Watching this and seeing how excited you were for 2020 makes me sad that it was not the 2020 we were all so excited for. 😂❤️
Me: *watching this video*
Also me: *desperate wanting to go buy gold pencils*

Think I’ll do the same with Langston Hughes 💕 I studied literature during undergrad and the 1920s were my favorite era for American lit. Kind of exciting to think we’re _entering the 20s_ 😂
I work from home, i calendar block specific duties and stick to it, also I have program goals and timelines that are a basic list of things to tackle for each program, events, those are my long term planning notes to myself. I also delay send myself emails as specific reminders. With the calendar block people can’t schedule me for other appointments. I plan conferences and run education programs, this has helped me to check in and remind myself to keep working on my plans and goals. I don’t think I’ll let go of my actual planner, but i do like the other portions of the journal...right now I have a thought journal, brain dump journal, i like the idea of combining and editing my thoughts to essential bullet points. Thanks for the video
this might be one of the coolest yearly set ups I've seen so far!!
Thank you so much!
I love the golden ruler. Journal makers are very patient I must say. I am very grateful I have a very simple life and do not need a journal.
I have never seen anything so creative and beautiful. This video popped up as a recommendation on my feed, and wow - what an introduction to your channel! I can tell I’m going to be bingeing on your videos non-stop. You’re extremely talented.
Recently found your channel. Woooowwwww. Okay. Thank you for re-motivating me to fall in love with my bullet journal again. 2020 was just one of those years and well. The artful intention of it fell off. Even still in post apocalyptic 2021.
Thank you so much. You’re a gem. Plus let’s mention the use of “y’all” which, as a southerner, I’m here for.
Have I overlooked a video of how you letter your spreads? My handwriting is atrocious and I find it hard to free hand different fonts.
Ohhh my gosh okay I don't normally directly use other people's designs and such in my own bujo (decorative stuff, not functional stuff -- the rolling weekly is absolutely what got me through my final projects this semester), but as I set up my stuff for 2020 I am absolutely stealing all this for my own. I just adore how everything looks here! And I also prefer the more minimalist design for at least the beginning of the year, to start it off all clean and slick.
So excited to see the rest of your Plantmas videos!
I work from home. I've found having regular extracurricular activities at specified times really helps me force myself to stop at 5 PM if I have something coming up at say, 7. Otherwise, I've been known to stay up til 2 writing reports and regret my decisions the next day when my work isn't up to my usual standards.
I've been binge watching 2020 bujo setups, but this aesthetic is my favorite by far! As a design student, this makes my heart happy. Subbed!
I struggle with the work/life balance, I find setting a schedule on excel can help and an alarm on the day when I’ve set my schedule so I know when to stop. It takes a tiny bit of work but there’s also the option of a stop watch with a set amount of work time so you stop and take breaks. I’ve been known to miss meals and sleep to keep working.... exhibit A it’s not 6am here and I started at 4pm.....
I really love that you said "if you're a human who menstruates," it's so sensitive to every issue there is
it made no sense, as only women do
@@m41437 As a woman, i would agree that women are humans. She was saying that to be woke. It’s just stupid sounding.
@@naturalspringwater128i do and I’m not a woman
Ok, that gold pen is making me want to hop in my car right now to go buy it!! I think what makes it so striking is your Art Deco designs because they look like gold leaf. Such a gorgeous layout! Since I just caught the bullet journaling bug in August, I will be heading into 2020 using the same journal. ❤️😁
This design looks so elegant!!! And I love that your clip and scissors are also gold colour which make the whole video in one theme colour haha. I started to think that B5 is a good size because of this video, 32x46 give much more space for tables... But all my notebooks are in A5 now so maybe try out after I finished the current ones.
So...I’ve been watching a ton of bujo videos and not only does this hit the target for me with the Art Deco theme but the “ideal daily schedule” page was what spoke to me. Thank you!
personally, i use the bullet journal/planner just to have fun decorating it and i never end up really using it for notes and appointments. that’s my way of relaxing after a long day at work. love this setup, love the decorations!
I found this video incredibly soothing to watch. This is also the first video of someone setting up a planner that is handwritten out.
The round designs are actually considered apart of the ART NOUVEAU style, but no art style is completely deviod of the inspiration from previous and overlappimg styles
I was speaking of the more rounded Art Deco styles, not art nouveau. I realize that Art Deco and art nouveau are different styles ☺️
I love how you use the circle stencil to write! What a great idea!
« I like shiny things. »
Sooo, like a niffler in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them !
I absolutely LOVE that you have "cuddle time" in your ideal day!!!
Book recommendations:
To Kill A Mockingbird
Wonder
The Immortalist
The Unhoneymooners (FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME)
So much inspiration for my 2020 set up! I really want to use your Kanban spread for school projects, and edit your period tracker to use as more of an anxiety/stress spread! Thanks for the amazing inspo and pleasing my eyes! :)
I'd love to see your goals. It's so easy to get stuck on your old ones and miss changing it up so it would be nice to get some inspiration. And those calender stickers are a NEED! So much time saved!!
I can definitely make a video on that spread! I’ll let y’all know where you can get them in Monday’s video ☺️
Wooow so pretty! I’m also planning a black and gold theme for my 2020 setup and yours is so pretty, even down to the ruler aha
Aw thank you! Haha
I've been working from home for 6 years and my favorite separation tips is that I work in my basement suite (the living room) which has French doors. I keep my work 100% in this room and do not work in any other space. This means when I go upstairs for lunch, it's as if I have left the office. For lunch I normally cook myself something rather than eat a sandwich at my desk and I watch some Netflix for my break. I also keep my art/craft space separate from my work area and it's set up in the "kitchen" of the suite. so my hobbies are separate from my work! I normally work from 7 to 6 which does impact health / mind so it's important to get outside during the day.
I wish I could have a separate work space! I like in a small city apartment so that’s not possible 😭
@@PlantBasedBride Having worked from home myself and had limited space available in a previous configuration... You don't need a separate room for your office. Just limit all "work" functions to a specific area that is off-limits once your "workday" ends. If the work area needs to be shared with other functions, do your best to clean up / put away work items when work ends so that you're not tempted to just 'do this one quick thing' (which always turns into many 'one quick things' and several hours). Even things as simple as picking up all pens and pencils and storing them in a drawer or box and closing notebooks can provide enough of a reminder that those are work items that you're opening up during the non-work time. Any reminder helps on this issue. My wife has a very small desk she uses that the front closes. This also helps keep the multi-use space looking neat when she isn't working.
This is gorgeous! I really love that you were concise in the materials you used. I watched another RUclipsr do their spread and it was gorgeous, but she pulled out like 5 new products per page and it was quite excessive. This gives a much more accessible impression of bullet journaling, like you can make it look nice and polished without spending tons and tons of money on supplies. Definitely subscribing, can't wait to watch more of your videos!
Aw thank you! I do try to use what I have whenever possible, and not to bring too many new things into my life. ❤️
Okay WOW loving how this looks so far, the black and gold is so clean! I still have a Fox and Fallow journal to use but I definitely have my heart set on getting an Archer & Olive journal next!
This is the most gorgeous journal I’ve ever seen. I started one in 2017 and didn’t use it all year in the end, I’m thinking I’ll try again. The stamp set is adorable and less than £15 in the UK, quite a find. I love Art Deco too, such patience to do all the lines and curves.
Thank you so much!
I saw your period tracker, i did this years ago, tracking headaches, my mood, my energy, i did it on an excel sheet...I found a pattern, relating to food consumed, time with sun exposure, sleep, i made self improvements because of the list...
Ohhh. . . perfect timing! I just bought a planner yesterday, too. The gold accent adds so much elegance to the minimalistic vibe.
Anyhow, Imma steal the Kanban and Ideal day. I need those to keep myself on track with my art and life in general. 😂
Lastly, the evolution of your bujo and video making is just inspiring! I remember seeing your older videos and the growth is just insane. Just goes to show how we improve by simply committing to things we love.
And btw, are u going to do your husband's set up too? Im excited to see how that turns out too.
❤️ the Art Deco pages and how bright your golds come out. Got too excited for my January spread so didn't leave room in the beginning of the book for anything else. Will probably add it to the back of the book. 😅 First time using an A5 notebook so I have room in this 2nd ever BuJo of mine. Looking forward to tomorrow's video! Thank you.
Have you ever used a "Rolling Ruler" when drawing parallel lines? Another technique is to get two small drafting triangles, set the long edge of one along the line you wish to draw parallel to, then place the second one firmly against one of the other edges (preferably at 90 degrees to the baseline), then slide the first triangle along the second to the position of the next parallel line to be drawn and draw the line. You can keep sliding the first triangle along the second one to draw several parallel lines before having to reposition the second triangle. There are also calligraphy rules that have lines along one edge that are intended to be parallel to that edge, but I've not seen reliable results from these.
Awkward moment when 2020 was more like the 1920’s than we really wanted... 😅😂 these spreads are beautiful though, love that the gold and black pen theme goes with the cover of the note book too
Putting washi tape at the edges of important pages is such a good idea! How did I never think of that?! :D
Also I love this simple but cute black&gold setup! Now I feel inspired for setting up my own new bujo :)
Her level of precision satisfies my OCD in ways I can't explain.. 😶
I have the exact same journal as you! I'm loving the archer and olive paper.
I admit I'm not a minimalist when it comes to planners(I use abt 6 lol) and I'm still new to BJing but your 2020 BJ is absolutely STUNNING!! I think I might have to give this type of planning another try
P.S. Since you're a fan of FSF, ArtDeco and the "Roaring 20's", then you might agree wth me that while "The Great Gatsby" movie from the early 70's didn't get great reviews, it still was nice looking at Robert Redford for three dreamy hours lol.
I also work from home and it's a struggle to find balance I have yet to find something that works well for me. I'm doing a 1820s theme focusing on Percy Shelley's poems from that year and the language of flowers from the time period.
Love this design with the simplicity and gold accents. Great inspiration to get organised for 2020. Happy new year!
I liked the moment when the cat walked past!! ❤
This is a belated comment but I have been watching bullet journal vids on/off for a year and you were the one who finally convinced me to start my own a month ago! I really loved your period tracker, wishlist/purchases tracker and your rolling weekly tasks and incorporated them all into my own. I still come back to get more inspo from you haha (I'm about to try out your 'ideal day' one and that's why I'm back and writing this comment). Thanks for making all these videos!
Aw I love that! Thank you so much for sharing this with me ❤️ I hope you love having a bullet journal ☺️
Dont mind me just finding you and bingeing everything. This one is so beautiful! I love Art Deco. I'm an artist but am somehow feeling uncreative in my BuJo... these videos are inspiring me.
I've been waiting to watch this so I could really WATCH it, this is so inspiring--love the piece about the tribute to an era that has changed design!
for books, I am really enjoying things they carried rn, as well as pride and prejudice. If you haven't read them they are fantastic
This is the most inspiring 2020 setup, I've watched it like 3 times now! I'm definitely going to do try art deco inspired theme for my 2020 setup. Im so excited!!!
I've been using washi tape on the edge of my monthly pages for years! It makes things so much easier!
Also, a favorite book of all time: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I really think you'll love that one.
It’s brilliant! Thank you for the recommendation ❤️
I really liked the unconventional spreads you made like the invoices, video kanban board, etc. The setup overall turned super pretty and sophisticated...
Thank you, Patricia! That means a lot ❤️
Hi! I just started working from home for the past two months, and I definitely agree that it’s hard to stop. I’ll find myself doing something unproductive and immediately thinking that I could be doing x,y, and z. I find the best way for me to be on a normal schedule is to try and be in routine with my boyfriend, and usually we hang out around 6:30 pm until we go to sleep. A way that I mark this is by what time I want to have a drink, so I’ll stop and get a beer and then I won’t feel like doing any more work for the day, and by that point I’ve gotten all my necessary work done so I can stop! If you don’t drink, maybe use this time to start doing a fun activity because you’ll feel inclined to stop because you’d rather do this one activity that you do at 7:30. Let me know your thoughts!
I don’t really drink, but I may try a variation on this!
I enjoyed watching you create this theme. The gold really makes it shine!!
Self- love can also be stuff to stop doing. So working until 1-2 AM... maybe include the ways you want to spend that time instead. That’s definitely self-love!
But the spreads are gorgeous! Watching you create the fonts was very mesmerizing
Good point 😅 I’m working on it in 2020 ❤️
take a drink every time she says instagram :P
I’m also a big fan of shiny stuff. This is encouraging for the excellent spare use of gold. Thanks.
OMG I had decided to do 1920's art deco, but as my new year/January theme and I have been a little overwhelmed. This is awesome.
Aw nice! Great minds think alike 😉❤️
i’ve been planning to do a 1920’s/art deco vibe for my 2020 set up as well so thank you for giving me even more inspiration! 🥰
This is a fabulous Bullet Journal, I adore Art Deco!!! Thanks so much for sharing your time, your energy and creativity!!!
Thank you so much!
This is totally random, but I don't hear the word y'all a lot where I am from (upstate NY) and I love that word. Half of my family is from Louisiana and I am pretty close with one of my cousins (but not the other ones sadly) do that side. She is one of my favorite people ever, but I very rarely get to see her and the way you say y'all reminds me of her and I absolutely LOVE it. Sorry for this way to long and random comment.
Aw haha thank you for sharing that! You don’t hear it a lot in Canada, either, but I wanted to replace my habit of saying “you guys” all the time and decided y’all was a good option! Now it’s just a habit and I like it ☺️
“I’m nothing if not niche” lol me
it's so prettyyyy! the patience you must have to use the stencil and ruler for all those letters! mad respect
So amazing
This is fascinating to watch, but I’ll never understand how anyone has the patience to do something like this.
I find it so relaxing ❤️
I really like your idea of placing washi tape on the side of a page instead of making tabs or using a bookmark. I'm definitely going to try this in 2020.
I love the art deco look! Black and gold is also my favorite combination. Also your day routine is super useful, I have taken notes. :D
Her: Decorating her Journal Calmly and her mind is working Calmly...
Me: Over Thinking of my Design. Buying things she had and Don't even use it.😂😂
Btw your so Talented!❤
beautiful setup ! i'm not going to start a new bullet journal for 2020, but you inspired me to use my art déco stickers for january setup
Excited for more info on the calendar stickers!!!! Also loving the gold washi tape on the future log!!! Simple yet noticeable
Hooooooooly crap I love your style so much!!!! SO MUCH!!! It's so satisfying, I love to have tight lines in my bujo, and I've been really into them again lately! But I absolutely love yours, and how pretty it is, If I could I'd artdeco the entire year, honestly. Amazing aesthetic! I actually never thought about having a different theme every month, that's a very interesting idea as well!
Ohhhh shiny! 💛 love the theme and black and gold. Best music choices too!! Looking forward to getting my 2020 set up now. Thanks so much for showing us.
Even though I'm an avid RUclips viewer, I hardly ever comment on videos. But I had to comment on this one because the layout and design is absolutely GENIUS! Not only do I personally love the art deco aesthetic as well (I actually have an art deco themed half sleeve tattoo), it's so perfect since we're heading into the 20s. Well done! I've already set up my bullet journal for January, but I may have to use some of these designs for February. :)
Love the spacing page, I could've done it in my journal but I made a rookie mistake of forgetting to leave a page or two empty at the beginning. But I am a rookie so it's fine, I'll do that page in my next year's journal. 😊
Ellie GiG You could just do it at the end, next to your pen test page, like I did. I prefer it there.
I love the gold accents and gold tools. This set up is really inspired by the 1920's where the era of modern art, music, fashion, writing, lifestyle and etc had began. Love the Gatsby theme.
Thank so you so much! 🥰
I NEED THOSE CALENDAR STICKERS!!! PLEASE TELL US WHEN AND WHERE WE CAN GET THEM!!! 😊👍🏻
Hehe I will on Monday! 😉❤️
Yay! I’m so excited!
Walmart has stick on mini washi calendars... (:
Maria Mercer although I can’t because I live in the uk.
and i can’t cuz i’m in australia
Your spread looks absolutely beautiful, I´m absolutely in love with it!
Thank U for this inspiration!!!
Plant based and sunny greetings from Munich in Germany and merry Christmas!!!!
2 years late to the party, but this is absolutely beautiful! I am not crafty enough to put that together but I would buy a pre made one in a minute
I'v used archer & olive for over a year and I love their notebooks.
Awesome! I’m loving it so far ❤️
