I’m so glad I found you and your book! I have began reading a lot more the last year (for 23 years I have only finished around 7 books but this year over the summer I have read 12 books!!!) and I have been thinking of starting a book journal. I tried to make my own but I got exhausted, and I wasn’t happy with it in the end so I went on a bit of a deep dive to find out the best setup, and I found you! First I thought of just copy your setup (I love it) but the more of your videos (I binge watched your TikTok) I learned that you were selling book journals so I jumped right away to your Etsy shop to look at it. I came here to see if your book was what I was looking for and it definitely is! So I’m going to buy it and use it for my 2025 book journal! (For the rest of 2024 I’m just going to continue using Goodreads even though that isn’t as satisfying as this) I’m so happy that you have made this book (and it looks so nice too!)

what size are the book covers ?
@celaenasardothien7033 ай бұрын
Also if you want slightly smaller book covers for a yearly or monthly spread you can also use Canva to size 6 or 8 smaller covers. It looks so cute

I’m working my way through 2 reading journal setups- one for long term collections like owned books, authors to note, and favourite tropes etc, and one in the back of my planner for my yearly running list of books read/dnf’d, monthly stats, and reviews. I use StoryGraph to take notes so I can take my time setting them up the way I want them

I really like this idea. Writing things down when you’re anxious or overwhelmed with emotion can be super helpful in and of itself! Maybe it would work well for someone without neurodivergency. My plan would be nice and extensive. I’d spend hours writing about it. Then I would do absolutely nothing and feel even more worried about the problem getting worse, which would be compounded with guilt and self-hatred for not doing anything, and I’d become paralyzed with anxiety and stress. Any ideas about how to actually implement your plan if you have ADHD, ASD, PDA, or any other form or combination of neurodivergence??
@doodlesandcalm7 ай бұрын
So I don’t have any experience with any of those forms of neurodivergence personally so truly wouldn’t be able to say accurately (& i’m not a professional therapist or anything, this is purely all from my own experience managing depression & anxiety & the coping mechanisms i was taught) However, with anything that causes anxiety and stress, I would always say break the plan into 1 small actionable FIRST step. Reducing overwhelm is the priority. Either do the one small step straight away to kick off momentum & reduce the guilt because you did do 1 thing OR block the first step in your diary for a specific day & time & affirm yourself by saying we’ve done literally everything we could do, we’re trying & that’s okay. I give myself permission to let this go & on specific day & specific time blocked we will start this, I am in control etc. Another thing is you could create your own framework you always follow for writing plans to keep it structured & focussed to prevent overwhelm. A column that says “date” a column that says “time” “action” You get the point - you’ll find your own framework based on what the regular struggles tend to be (usually stress management for me.. so one framework / reminder i could have written on a post it in a journal etc is “first take 3 slow breaths before writing this plan & don’t get stressed out when it is written!” etc)

Yes! I was a bit confused with the genres and books & pages spreads so this was helpful :) I'm setting my journal up now, I'm so excited! I'm editing mine just a little, like I never read thru audiobook so I'm gonna cross that out and track days when I read physical and ebooks in a day instead. and for my pages read, I'm gonna put higher numbers since I usually read quite a bit in a sitting haha but i love your spreads and that I can still tweak the pages for my own needs! I feel like this will help me reach my 50 book goal for the year since I failed in 2019 and 2020 💕
