When setting up my journal for 2020 I wrote down the year in a very artsy way. I was very focussed, connected the 2s and 0s and Put quite a bit of effort into making it PERFECT. And it looked really good. Then I noticed I wrote 2200 ...

If you ever run out of space with your index and you aren't ready to move into another journal, just index your new index page.

I started setting up my 2025 journal by writing down the year and.. I accidentally wrote 2024 instead so I feel you on the immediate stuff-up. It was even quicker than a second word so you're still good, Jess :D

Man, was I ever jazzed when the yellow showed up nicely. So satisfying 😌

[BeckyHollandFuller]

If I run out of space in my index, I just use the next empty page in the notebook, then the last entry on the first index is that page number and noted as "Index- Part 2". Works great because I always go to the first page to look for something and if I don't find it there I know exactly what page to go to next to continue my search.

This is why I love my TN notebook. I just swap out inserts as needed. Right now I’ve got an insert for my monthly/weekly/daily logs, one for my work, one for my annual collections (yearly goals, etc) and one for my long term collections. When long term collection inserts get full, I can move them to an insert binder. Sometimes I use a separate TN notebook for work when I’m working on long term projects that justify their own insert for notes.

It's good luck to stuff up right away. Because when you get past that, you can get past everything. I even feel less pressure, cuz, hey I stuffed up, I fixed it, I can fix all things after this. :)

Soldier on, no bad omens here 🙌

I would love to have a caligraphy guide for the style you've used here! I love how it looks

"It's been 84 years" is a classic only those of us with excellent taste break out.

I watched your long-term collections set up last year and decided I'd start one this coming year. THANK YOU for the video! It came just in time and helped me visualize what I was going to put in my new journal.

This is so valuable. I reviewed a journal from 2020 and I found that I had accomplished most of the larger projects I had set for myself for 2020 by the end of 2024 and will accomplish one or two by the end of 2025. I had 10 large projects for 2020 which was too much for one year. For larger projects the timeline is more suited for 5 years. Larger projects are going from financial independence to financial freedom where your assets are generating cashflow on autopilot. These take more planning than just buying the asset because the economy is changing and course correction is required. Larger projects are also vitality vs just not being sick. These require a longer time horizon. Thank you for sharing. :o)

Your LTC journals are what inspired me to start my own. It makes life so much easier having these kind of spreads in a journal that you don't have to redo every year. (ps - I'm a wizard too!)

Making a mistake is not a Bad Omen. Please stop thinking that way, lol. What you ended up with was way cuter than a boring name. Mistakes give us reasons to think creatively - that is a Good Thing!!!!

Along with re-installing applications with a hard reset, getting your fave htmls back!
I know you can save the file, but I list all my fave websites to restore! It sucks to try to remember some of them or keyword search them (not all are stores, etc, but neat things found - like old WordPress sites😊).

[gabrielalauracolimodio]

I hear you, Jess!!! I carefully plan about my new journal setup and when the time comes to write my name on the first, opening page of the notebook, I freeze😂 I even practice the handwriting on a different paper!😂😂😂😂😂

[charlottemalone]

So timely! I’m considering something like this 😊

[dorothyevans]

I’ve been considering doing this too now that I’m deciding whether I want to migrate anything into my 2025 planner, so great timing! I think I’d be very tempted to also add a book just for indexing - probably an A6, so instead of migrating when the collections book fill, I can just index where reference lists I want to keep eg bucket list, sit among the books. It got complicated quickly, so then I decided to keep reference and research and long term project planning digitally - much easier with the improvements in Apple notes. 😂

How satisfying it is, watching you draw lines with no ruler haha I have a squint eye, I think effects my judgement, even with a dotted page 😂
Please can I ask what pens you are using?
My pages are quite thin…..

[ladythorofmuffins]

my name is elly and i always write it in lower case and in cursive. i get carried away with the loops and will add one too many sometimes so i get accidentally messing up your own name lol

[jademoonplans]

Great video! Glad I'm not the only one that struggles with spelling 'alcoholic' lol
