Bit of an emotional plan with me oops (ft. corporate rant, negative self-talk and interview nerves)

[@catspocketnote]

SO sorry this video turned out to be kind of depressing!! And sorry if I sounded like I was on the verge of crying (I was !! hahaha) :) but its ok!! I feel a lot calmer now, sorry for being melodramatic! I will live! And I'll talk about how it went in my next video if anyone is interested. My panel interview is in T-minus 23 hours and I'm going to study as much as I can tonight.

First interviews can be intimidating. I used to struggle with the same self doubts when I started out. You have a great mindset on how whatever happens, this is a good experience to help you learn and grow. It's okay to make mistakes because that is ultimately how we learn important information. Good luck! Although, it sounds like you're well prepared.

Thank you for the kind words ❤️ I wish I could’ve come off more positive in the video but I was just feeling a tad overwhelmed 😅 I will move forward no matter what and learn from tomorrow’s interview :) thanks for your belief in my preparation, I hope I live up to it!!

[@nattr6102]

Thank you for being vulnerable. I hope your interviews go well this week! You’ve got this!! 💪🏽

[@catspocketnote]

Thank you for your message!!! I can report that I JUST finished the interview and I did surprisingly well?!?!?! I don’t even know who I am!!! I’m so happy now!!

[@lolaandrainbow9237]

man how is it not more views?! The video was so calming and I enjoyed listening, I can sooo relate to public speaking and socializing because I’ve struggled quite a bit with lately and the worst is when you “promise” someone you’ll be confident and more mature you screw it up by going into old habits and I go to that shy self again, but worry or not we’ll get past through it💪 and good luck with the interviews!!!

/btw question, what are your recommendations on starting a journal for memories like you? Like I have 1000 journals but they are all so messy and I don’t know..I would love advice and if it’s a good thing cause the idea looks cool:))

[@catspocketnote]

Omg don’t even talk to me about other people’s expectations, I so get you, it makes it worse for me when I know someone is expecting more from me or says I have potential that I’m not meeting ;____; In terms of a memory keeping journal, I only just started this notebook as a trial for memory keeping! But I did a lot of research into the right planner size (passport, a6, b6, a5) and style (plain, lined, grid, weekly, daily, undated) and right now I’m figuring out what I want the notebook to do (whether I prefer memory keeping everything I did every day or only journal about certain memories). I’m hoping I can use this trial blank notebook as a practice to making nice spreads and to see whether I want to buy a dated daily journal (hobonichi a6) next year or an undated journal for only special moments :) I’ll keep you updated on how the memory keeping journey goes, I plan to make a video on it when I start buying next year’s journals!

Good luck in your interviews! I am going through the same, it is so difficult 😢, what I do is treat myself after the interview (good or bad) to transform the stressfull memory into a happy one! PS: I have been obsessed with your knox planner I think I am ordering one from mercari japan!

[@catspocketnote]

That is such a good idea omg, I should treat myself to some KBBQ and açai bowl after! Already looking forward to it 😂 The Knox planner is really nice!! What do you plan to use it for? I have the hobo a6 weekly supplement in it and it’s a bit too big but planning to buy the sterling ink pocket vertical weekly to put in it next year :) let me know if you end up ordering it and in what colour/size!!!

[@catspocketnote]

Oh and good luck in your interviews too!!! Hoping you can stay positive throughout the process and hope you get a good result! ❤️

[@fraaancespedes]

@catspocketnote I highly recommend you do that! I had an interview on Monday (I ended up not getting it), but that did not stop me from remembering that day fondly because I went with my bf to our favorite sushi place 🥰 I want to use it like my main planner! I have a a6 hobonichi planner as my journal and a hobonichi weeks as my planner but even though I love the weeks, the size is not my cup of tea so I was just looking for another system and I came across your video 😁 I think is a brilliant idea to put the weekly supplement even though it is a tight fit! I think I want to try printing my own inserts 🫣

[@catspocketnote]

Oh I’d be soo keen to see your final setup! making my own inserts intimidates me and I don’t own a printer (yet) but it would be fantastic for making something tailored that works for your life. Also! I’m considering getting the hobonichi a6 for a memory keeper in 2025 😂 it would be so awesome if we ended up with the same / similar planner lineup - think we might both be pocket size notebooks enthusiasts
