Pilot makes erasable pens called Pilot Frixion, and you can get them in colors as well as clicker or capped style.

I love the idea of the “intentional mistake”! My mom was a quilter, and she told me about the “humble block.” That’s an intentional mistake in Amish quilts, because only G*d is perfect and humans shouldn’t try to be :)

I’ve had my long term collections journal sat on my desk looking at me for months now and I still haven’t started it. I’m not so bad with my usual journal as it feels more of a working document, but this is something I want to keep for a long time as a reference so feels like it should be special 🫣

Love this video! You're so good at addressing things that (I think) are general struggles for people. I appreciate that you come from a very realistic place. Thank you so much.

I started my first bujo in an old notebook I had lying around. I told myself if I enjoyed this process and kept up with it for a month I would buy myself a new a5 notebook. This took off the pressure of FOMU. Seven notebooks later I no longer care if I mess up, I just turn the page.

LOOOVE how helpful this is! Even as a bullet journalist in her 5th year of bullet journaling, I still get major new bujo anxiety. Will be recommending this video! Also, your thumbnail cracks me up 😂 Amazing work Jess!

The thumbnail of you peering up over the edge of the table at your very scary new journal gave me a badly needed laugh. Thanks! (Also, the content of the video was great...but I expected that, because you.)

I love the idea of a mess up/scribble page in the back!

These 7 tips, Thank you so very much. You are a blessing. I love watching you.

This is my number one struggle. I’ve settled on an R&D Notebook like you have to practice and play around with layouts before I fully commit. 🤣

Thank you very much for the helpful video. I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist. Your moon and stars notebook is absolutely gorgeous!! 🤩✨️✨️ I love anything celestial. New subscriber!

Major kudos for the thumbnail!! It’s super cute😊

I was today years old when I made the connection that the metric side of the ruler (that I as an American, never use) matches up with the dot grid that's printed in the journal🤯😅🤦‍♀

When in the year should you start planning a new journal set up?
