Got Some Stuffs (TM)
Jan. 3rd, 2025 01:15 pmabyssal_sylphNote: no photos cause I can't figuer out imgur besides icons :(
I wanted to start writing stuff down more on actual paper cause I like how it feels. I know I can't for the life of me keep stuff to one topic, so the notebook I bought will be used to dot down general ideas for creative projects & similar topics (basically give myself the freedom to both write down incoherant thoughts & doodle in it & stuff).
I bought a notebook, some stickers & washi-tape (I actually wanted stickers for my diary, but also I just like stickers). I'm gonna start brainstorming on some ideas in my head & see if I can make this journal something fun for me to look at ^_^

Journaling with Laconic
Oct. 4th, 2024 10:27 amhalfcactusHi everyone! I got into physical journaling (and stickers!) pretty recently and am very excited to find this comm!
I like using my journal to document what I'm reading/watching and to log my language learning when I encounter new vocabulary, but I'm often too lazy to sit down and update it...
Here are some assorted pages from my journal (currently using a Laconic planner) so far! Images are mostly hotlinked from my Bluesky account because I'm lazy, so I hope they display fine!

October - Where the Wild Things Are
Oct. 3rd, 2024 12:09 pmseleneheartI watched a planner video from this person: https://www.youtube.com/user/jashiicorrin who uses washi tape paper to print her headers and stickers for her bullet journal.
I decided to try it for my October spread. Here is the washi paper I got: washi sticker paper. I didn't want to get too much of it in case I didn't like it.
My theme for October is Where the Wild Things Are. I found a font that looked similar to the title font from the book, and created this page with all the titles and headers I will need for October. The paper is quite transparent, and can be written on/colored on. Here is the page I made:
I created a 5mmx5mm grid that is 26 x 37 squares, which is the same size as the pages in my journal. This helped me know if the labels and stickers I made would fit correctly in my weekly layouts (I turned the layer with the grid off when I printed). I printed on the A4 paper, and then cut them out with scissors. Although I'm sure this could be done on a Cricuit or something.
Here is my spread. I experimented with coloring the labels, but I think I'll leave them transparent next time.
This is definitely a learning curve for me, but I'm pretty happy with the results so far.
Oh, and someone asked me last time how I determine what book to do what month - for October, I had to choose Max in his wolf costume!

Chaos Planner
Apr. 21st, 2024 03:31 pmthe_broken_towerI saw seleneheart's post and thought I'd add some images of the apartment's chaos planner. :)
(Chaos: for organizing it, and because the organization style is little messy.)

Planner Season!
Apr. 21st, 2024 09:01 amseleneheartAs I've said before, my planner season starts now. I ordered by next bullet journal and my work planner, and they both showed up this weekend - unexpectedly early! But earlier is always better!
This year's bullet journal is my old faithful Leuchttrum1917 A5 dot grid in port red:
Some day, when I get the space and time, I plan to have all my bujos in order on a bookshelf, and I choose each year's color based on whether it would look good next to last year's color on this hypothetical shelf. *goals*
Last year I did a year-long theme of video games for each spread, and I really enjoyed that. This year the theme will be children's books.
My EC work planner and stickers it comes with:
This planner holds to-do lists, notes from meetings, notes to myself, and a log of expenses that I need to turn in to be reimbursed. I use the stickers to tell me where I need to be and what time. I put stickers on both the monthly layout and on the week in question. I live in fear of not being where I'm supposed to be at the correct time and this system alleviates most of that stress. I also put stickers on the calendar for holidays when we'll be closed and to designate my vacation time, as well as random things like doctor's appointments that will take me out of the office. Oh! And birthdays for my co-workers so I can remember to wish them a good day, not that we are the type of office that gives out birthday gifts. This one doesn't start until August, but I have events scheduled beyond then that I can start putting in it.

My Planner Season
May. 17th, 2023 11:40 amseleneheartThis is the month that I get ready for next year with my planners.
That's were my planner situation is at the moment!
- Work Planner - I have once again gone with my faithful EC Life Planner. I don't do as much stickers as some people do with these planners, but I was running out of the set that I bought in 2020, so I also got the monthly sticker book. I've already go this one set up and ready to go with events for work starting in July.
- Bullet Journal - I'm still using the Leuchtturm1917, but I'm planning something a bit different for the yearly/seasonal/monthly spreads. In the past, I've done monthly spreads vaguely connected to the month in question, and whatever I took a fancy to. For this upcoming year, I'm going to try to do one overall theme for all the spreads. I've seen some really lovely ones online, including Middle Earth, Beatles lyrics, and so on. My plan is to feature all the video games that I've spent a significant amount of time playing. I've whittled the list down to 12, and it includes not just console games, but the arcade games I started out on, like Ms. Pacman and Centipede. For the seasonal spreads, I'm going to feature one region of Hyrule from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Summer will feature a place in Gerudo, autumn in Akkala, winter in Hebra, and I haven't made a decision for spring.
- Moving Journal - I've decided to make a major change in my life and move across the country. However, I can't do that until several things not in my control fall into place, so it will probably happen summer of 2024. Also, there's a lot of moving (heh) parts that I have to account for. I purchased a composition book, a Decomposition book actually because it's the only one I could find that was college-ruled. This is not the time of year to try to find school supplies in North America. I'm using it for to-do lists, mind maps, gluing documents into it, goals, and timelines. I set it up with a table of contents and I'm numbering the pages. Finally, I got a set of Papermate Flairs just for this purpose, because I am extra like that.
That's were my planner situation is at the moment!
Mini-Printer
Feb. 26th, 2023 10:06 amseleneheartI use my bullet journal both as a planner and as a record of my life - things like home maintenance, health records, meal records ("I'm not making that; we just had it two weeks ago"), as well as all the trackers.
I decided I wanted a visual record of some things, like projects and monthly reflections.
I've been intrigued by the mini-printers - the ones that can print directly from a cell phone. I did scrapbooking back in the day, which was just too, too much. Too much time, too much material, too much money. But I think there's something fun and charming about just casually printing a pic from my cell phone, and sticking a photo in my bullet journal.
There are a ton of different ones out there, but I treated myself to a Canon Ivy 2 and some extra paper. (It was on sale when I bought it). So far it's been everything I wanted and performed as expected. The photos are on sticky-backed photo paper, and look like good quality and resolution.
The photos are pretty tiny, 10 x 16 grid squares, which works out to 50mm x 90mm. I'll need to be careful to spread them out the pages so they don't add bulk all in the same spot and make it hard to write.
Overall, I'm pretty pleased with it!
