Hi team! 💜 Hope these ideas were use 💪 I know maths isn't for everyone though, so if you were having trouble with the calculations for your grid-spacing guide, I do have a calculator that can do the work for you! 🥳 bit.ly/3qdJdzq

[@createwithcait]

I am in love with the ruler idea I have never seen something like this before!! I do have a grid spacing but don't trust myself either and tend to count it out 😂😂

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one with self-trust issues 😂💜

[@debhanorwright6212]

I just finished the unboxing and having another video is a treat!!!

[@debhanorwright6212]

Love hearing people say maths. Lol

[@karenleaney3481]

Me too 😍

[@brookeweeks2435]

Came back to watch this to prep to set mine up…. A bit late setting up my 2023 bujo!

[@hananjesry9427]

I use the grid spacing ruler and I pasted it on the back of clear plastic ruler so I could use it easily. great video as always jashii 🌹🌹🌹🌹💜💜💜

[@laurafortney6683]

Gluing it onto a regular ruler is a great idea!!

[@maurolimaok]

I really like these videos of yours.

[@draco-lily]

The idea with a separate grid page taped to the notebook actually blew my mind!! Literally quaked to the core. Running off to do this right fkin now (and by that, I mean binge your vlog videos while I get it set up lol)

[@laurafortney6683]

Lmfao im doing the EXACT same thing!!!!

[@Zahrah.M]

I use the ruler idea ! Although, I fold it in half and washi tape one side with black or some other dark washi, because then I can use one side as a straight edge and the other as the ruler with the markings. And if you make it 5 spaces wide, that's also useful as a quick reference :)

[@kiwitams]

2 videos in 1 day!?! What tomfoolery is this!?!?! I can't wait to set up a guide in my new one :)

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha 😋 Been itching to release that unboxing video for a couple of weeks; glad I could finally do it!

[@ms.mustlovecats1556]

Did I mention just how much I LOVED this entire idea via " grid spacing cheat sheet ? ! ? ! ". 😏👍

[@Kimo0tJJ]

ohmygooooosh 2 videoooooos in1 daaaay :D ,, !!!!! OMG the reference ruler is actually an amazing idea! Going to make one right now! :O ,, I actually did use a grid spacing guide like the one you made first but I was still having some problems with those. So I don't really use it anymore. But the reference ruler could actually be the best idea because, like you said, it's very moveable. Soooo thank you so much for sharing that idea!! It's perfect!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Most welcome Kim! 💜😄 I think I might end up making myself a new grid-spacing ruler that I put a bit more effort into, maybe using different t colours and stuff (the one I made in this video was just a quick mock up, haha)

[@Kimo0tJJ]

@@JashiiCorrin Yes! Hey, maybe you should put a patent on the idea! 😜 (Low key not even joking)

[@bulletjournalbydanique8596]

Yess I always love to make a grid spread! It works amazing 😍

[@Narja23]

I don't use any of these layouts, but the idea of the space ruler is so clever ❤️ i love it!

[@LollysGarden]

Best guide layout I have found! Thank you.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks Cindy, glad you found it helpful! 😄💜

[@courtneys5937]

Yes! I’ve only used the ARL sheet. But I love the uneven common spread map and the ruler is awesome. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@Xeillia98]

I do use a grid spacing cheat sheet in my bujo that closelt matches the first example you did. I didn't use it very much but as I'm trying out different layouts lately, I have started to use it more. It's definitely something I'll carry on to future journals

[@karenleaney3481]

Great info. Wish I had watched this a year ago when I first started journaling. I have a common layouts page in my swatch journal and I also have a grid ruler from etsy, reflectwithraksha. I love it.

[@laurafortney6683]

I LOVE the ruler idea!! I'm going to make one right now to use!! What I was doing was recording the numbers on a reference page by my pen test page. I just recorded how many boxes were horizontally on one page and two pages and hpw many boxes vertically on a page. Sometimes I also marked the halfway point horizontally so I didn't have to count

[@sandrahazeltine8720]

I don’t use one yet but I think I most definitely will for the reading journal I’m planning to set up. Thanks for this video.

[@outroseok]

I just started a bujo and didn't plan on making a grid spacing guide but after I made the first page in my new journal which was the yearly title spread my mind completely changed, now I know I NEED one and that's the next page I plan to make lol.

[@sydneesheriff212]

I was wondering how you made the boxes so evenly thank you for this video I hate doing math so this is perfect for me

[@AbiNomac]

Very helpful. Thank you. And I love that you stayed true to being an Aussie by saying “maths” and not “math” like so many other Aussies.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Math is weird 😝 maths is where it’s at 👏💜

[@AbiNomac]

@@JashiiCorrin ABSOLUTELY

[@luc_is_here]

The mini drawings of spreads you commonly use?!?! Mind = blown!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha thanks Lucinda, glad you found a useful idea here! 😄💜

[@happyriyaindia]

This was the most helpful video about grid spacing till now. Loved this 🌸❤️ thank you!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Aww yay! Glad you found it useful! 😄💜

[@kasanchz]

Omg you are brilliant!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha thanks Kimberlee! 😄💜

[@wimbyta]

Thanks for this!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Most welcome! 😄💜

[@pamelapruett7833]

I use a clear ruler and I actually have my weekly layout Grid marked on the ruler. I have found a weekly layout that I prefer at this time.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Nice 💪 super helpful if you stick to the one style of weekly 👏

[@pamelapruett7833]

Well I'm always on the lookout for another weekly spread that would handle my events And my chore list but I'll use this one until I find another 1 that fits my needs

[@the_rivencap]

I know this video is a year old + already but I just want to “thank you” tremendously. I’ve been bullet journaling/planning on/off for over three years. I say on/off because I hopped on Hobonichi Cousin for a bit. Now, I’m doing the “go big or go home” and going to the B5 Stalogy. I decided to brush up on my bullet journaling/planning skills and watch some videos the last two weeks. I never ever got the grid spacing cheat sheet people do until I watched your video. Thank you. I’m also thankful that you don’t use it either and it’s because you do it the old fashion way…and count the spaces like I do. I totally agree as I don’t trust my old self either. Lol. 😆❤️

[@JashiiCorrin]

Glad the video make it click for you! I've been using the one in my B5 more than I expected, but mostly just tend to count things out, haha 😝💜

[@JanetSuzanne]

I tried using a spacing guide in my current journal for the first time (I had to do it twice and got it wrong both times I think!) so I’m not sure if I’ll use it again because the spacing isn’t quite right 😂😅 I love your different ideas so maybe I’ll try another one next time

[@ananthivedharethinam225]

Thanks ❤️❤️ for this video 🥺🥺 I'm struggling with the grid spacing because I'm new using bujo ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@JashiiCorrin]

The more you use it, the more intuitive it gets! 😄💜

[@verafernandes4913]

Thank you for the tutorial. I have created a grid spacing page and never used nor referred to it. I stead, i found my self creating a moveable ruler and no longer add a grid spacing page.

[@CsprsSassyHrly]

I love the way these look when they’re simple (that first one you did was beautiful!), but I feel like I’m the only one that doesn’t use a grid spacing guide. My bullet journal journey started with me spacing out my week on a vertical two page spread where having one of these would’ve been super helpful, but has since transformed into rolling dailies. The only thing I need to know spacing for is my weekly dashboard or the monthly calendar. But I’ve been doing both of them the same way for three semesters worth of bullet journals (four bullet journals total because I have since found that 160 pages is not enough for me), that I know the measurements by heart.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Yeah I find that because I use certain divisions so often now (e.g. horizontal thirds) I really don’t have much need for the grid spacing reference page 😛 but the ruler I think would be a bit more helpful as it would just mean I didn’t have to count the number of spaces (even if I know how many to use already, haha) 💜

[@shanyavirasinghe8591]

Another super useful video! I love a grid spacing guide. Very useful plus it is just somehow strangely satisfying to have one in my journal. Mine doesn’t look any where as neat as yours. HOW do you get such perfect lines???? So jelly!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Me and my ruler are best friends 😛💜😂

[@TessiaB]

I don't but I am gonna be making one of those rulers. for sure.

[@MacMoonie]

i like the idea, but i don't use it currently an d I've never set on up previously.

[@josecarlospalmapalma]

jajaja... fue gracioso, estaba buscando sobre "Grid Spacing" pero en CSS, y me basé únicamente en las primeras palabras del título de tu video, al inicio me pareció algo extraño e interesante, y me dije "vaya manera de comprender los Grid en CSS 🤣...". Un dato curioso, es que se puede aplicar a Grid en CSS.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha 😂 I hadn't heard of grid spacing for CSS! 💜 Funny it shows up for that 😝

[@krishnakantkesari3822]

i love this!

[@krishnakantkesari3822]

P.S., i just realized, u uploaded 2 videos within an hour!! yayyyy 😯😀😀😀😍😍

[@ButterFlYnez]

Mine is my most used spread ever. Also made a little extra pocket on the righthand side (it's at the front) for my self-made rulers. Sadly I have noticed that my notebooks all have different measurements, so I'm sadly forced to redo it for every notebook. 😔

[@JashiiCorrin]

How annoying! 😅 I know that just changing from primarily using one style notebook to using another was enough to stuff me up in terms of spacing 😛 I don’t think I’d handle multiple different journals at the same time well 🥲

[@ButterFlYnez]

@@JashiiCorrin yeah it's not great, thankfully only have 2 (collections and day to day) but notebook therapy has this annoying habit of having all their B5 notebooks with different box-counts. Currently working in 31x45 and 32x46 and since my day to day is almost full I get to work on slowly setting up my next which is 31x46 🤦🏽‍♀️ am probably going to switch to a different brand because of this cause I hate setting up a grid-count for every notebook 🙈

[@JashiiCorrin]

I've heard that Archer & Olive do nice journals 😏😉😋 haha, but seriously that would drive me batty 😂

[@ButterFlYnez]

@@JashiiCorrin 😂 now if only they weren't completely out of my budget 😢 thanks to shipping and everything there's almost €30 difference between A&O and the notebooktherapy...

[@JashiiCorrin]

Boooo! Maybe there’s someone on the buy/sell/trade group that is closer to home? 🤞

[@shashikeshari7839]

hey! first! im really excited but sadly cannot watch it full bcuz i got a test tomorrow :(, i'll surely watch this asap. lots of love from India! ❤️❤️

[@JashiiCorrin]

Good luck for your test! 💜😄

[@crystalfelicia9924]

I don't understand it. Can you do a video explaining the grid spacing!

[@JashiiCorrin]

If you have a specific question, I can answer it for you here as best I can 😊

[@wanderingmoon9772]

I think not knowing how to space things is what has kept me from setting up a journal.
