Plan With Me | October 2018

I look forward to this plan with me every year…it’s time for all things Halloween!! (Which, in my world, means….cobwebs!! Not because I like spiders; but because I love the look & the fact that they’re grey!)

Also…there are some fairly sizeable changes to this month (this is part of the reason why the video is so long) so I hope you guys enjoy!

This is a long one, so if you’d like to jump ahead, here are timestamps for the different parts:

0.48 September flip through
7.13 changes afoot!
10.36 pre-planning
13.49 timelapse
24.40 explanation

And before I let you go, here are all the quotes I used on my intro page (since I’m not sure how legible they’ll be in the video!):

“The farther we’ve gotten from the magic and mystery of our past, the more we’ve come to need Halloween.” (Paula Curan)

“It must be October, the trees are falling away and showing their true colors.” (Charmaine J. Forde)

“October had tremendous possibility. The summer’s oppressive heat was a distant memory, and the golden leaves promised a world full of beautiful adventures. They made me believe in miracles.” (Sarah Guillory)

“October proved a riot to the senses and climaxed those giddy last weeks before Halloween.” (Keith Donohue)

“Double, double toil and trouble…” (William Shakespeare)

Of all the journal videos I've been watching you are the FIRST to actually map out and plan your journal. I mapped out my stuff for my journal b/c it's my first one and you've helped me know that I am not overthinking it and it may turn out alright :)

[planningwithkay]

I’ve been binge watching you’re recent videos today! Loved seeing this now too 💕

[seriela]

Great to see the notes you took. I've always taken tons of notes from books read, especially if they're good ones borrowed from the library. Am looking forward to Ryder's thoughts and your implementation. Hope they work for you. (And the rest of us!) Lefties unite!

[mariadamore]

I love your To Do sticky notes! And the music when you started the time lapse is giving major Never Ending Story vibes!

[howdoyouwhisk]

last year i saw you do those cobwebs and fell in love, so i replicated them in a similar way as the background of a tracker at work and my boss thought it was the coolest thing ever, so thank you for always doing them! lol, they're really beautiful

[sarabockenstedt]

Thank you for sharing your thought process.

[soapturtle]

I am interested in what you are doing for Oct mostly because it's pretty much the layout I've been doing each week for about a year now, and I find it's still working for me.

Thank you for proving that lefties can also have beautiful cursive handwriting! My elementary school teacher swore up and down my cursive was going to be TRASH because I was a lefty and held my hand 'weird' (in her eyes anyway). My grandmother (also a lefty) merely taught me the ole 'rotate your book 90 degrees' trick. Haven't had a smudged page since! lol

Meds tracking - I track mine too. I rarely forget my morning meds, but evening meds are a challenge. After I started tracking them, I remembered them way better. Now, in the past month, I forgot twice - before it was once or twice a week which was really bad.

[monumi]

I saw kdramas and my eyes lit up!! You must be a true fan to have it in your bullet Journal..Love

[Savallion]

Oh man, I love that copper noir ink. I grabbed some Diamine "Ancient Copper", Diamine Pumpkin, and Apache Sunset to play with during October but they haven't arrived yet.

[kayleighpoulter]

The little spiders in the titles are so cute! I'm totally borrowing that :)

[heyitsjanicee]

Love your Halloween theme! I also did ~spooky~ spreads for October too! 👻

[SolisScriptorivm]

That web on the cover page! Wow! Your spreads turned out beautifully. Also loving the addition of the little spiders in the titles.

[ShezART]

Wow... this is awesome, Great Job !!!

[carolkkll]

[MsJennyAnderson]

What book is the Two Lives Exercise from?

[eleanorh]

ive been binging you atm! i bought a bullet journal yesterday and im still setting it up and i love it

[mysummertouch]

I knew that after reading a book you're going to switch to rapid logging! I am switching too!😂😂😂😂

[EricaEthington]

I LOVE this. I love using my journal to take notes, to journal AND as a planner. I'm super excited for your video when you finish reading the book and to see what you end up doing with it. I love seeing journals that are both artistic and real tools for growth.
