Bullet Journal (Not So) Newbie | One Year In

[@iphonetimer3575]

Bullet journaling has honestly. Changed my life.

[@greciaarteaga3872]

I love your planning related vlogs. I hate to see them go. I know you may think they are not that interesting but we love them. I put them on in the background when I plan and they are so soothing to me. I understand that if it just not the time for it. I will still keep my figures crossed and will be happy to just see any content you put up. Stay safe and peaceful!

[@mih1991]

Amazing! Love to see you are keeping up with Project Life! I would love a full video on it, with your process or tips for staying current and for catching up with older albuns!

[@debcrauthers1454]

I have so enjoyed your sharing your planning videos and so sad to see them no more. Oh but life evolves. Out with the old and in with the new. I enjoy you being you and your journey through life. Go Jen!

[@priyagln]

I cannot tell u how much waited for this video..

[@whitneytoney2226]

Yeah!! I have been waiting for a Bujo update from you!

[@beautyplayground]

I love how colorful your planner is

[@lauemiands]

I use a bullet journal as well. I used to use a filofax and before that a limelife coil bound. Bullet journaling allows me to be free and not want extra space. I have been sticking to a page per day including daily journaling, with a weekly and a calendex for each month along with a future log calendex combination. The traditional monthly is way too crowded for me and things change often. I miss your plan with me's, you are so sweet.

[@maryelizabethoconnor194]

This looks really cool, thanks! I've given Bullet Journals as gifts - though never completely understanding how they worked! Until paying attention to this video just now! I love the idea of everything in one notebook (and this pen looks awesome). You got me into Erin Condren, and I totally want to do this now!

[@Msmmmason2]

I'm wondering if you could show us your Project Life process?

[@incitehope99]

Would love to know what camera you use. The video's clarity is amazing.

[@jocelynmoore5393]

Jen, would you consider showing us in DETAIL how you plan Disney?

[@WithWonder]

I did a pretty in-depth video on this years ago....not much has changed except now we're DVC members so I book thru that. Dining reservations 180 days in advance, fast passes 60 days....I pick which parks we're going to visit on which days in advance and plan everything around that 😊

[@jocelynmoore5393]

Thanks!! I’ll go find the video!! :)

[@thewandgoose]

Do you think you'll do a video about plant-based eating in Disney?? I'm going in December and I'm considering transitioning to a plant-based diet in the coming months.

[@Sendie64]

It’s nice to see how your planning style evolved. I’ve been using structured planners for a few years and sometimes I almost feel like I « have to » spend time planning when a simple bullet list would do. In other words, bujo is calling my name! I’m going to transition to the STM bullet planner in 2019 as a trial of sort but I’m attracted to blank notebooks more and more. Thanks for sharing your flip through :)

[@WithWonder]

Sounds like a plan! 😉

[@bridgette712]

Hi Jen! Thanks for sharing your 1st year with your bullet journal. I went from an ECLP to a bullet journal and have now settled on a mix of the two using the EC Deluxe monthly planner and a bullet journal. I like them together because I get a bit of creativity and seasonal change with covers and monthly stickers, but still keep my love of lists. Love your content and enjoy sharing a bit of your journey! Hope you nd your family are doing well :)

[@WithWonder]

👍👍

[@lindaalberts8770]

I so agree with Deb below me. Love watching you be you and all that you share. I have used a Franklin Covey planner for years and the last few years a Daytimer planner with Coastline refills 2 pages per day.and I have a Planner cover in Turquoisse. I LOVE the Turquoise lines, print & calendar and tabs. It has goten really expensive so I ordered a different one this year and it is light wierd green. I have not opened it-- color does not speak to me. I bought my first Happy Planner in BIG size before Thanksgiving. I misplaced it and found it mid Jan. I still have not began working in it. I have been watching You Tube Videos on Plan with me from you, Christopher and many others. Now to begin using my own and combining ideas from many of you. Wish me luck. I look forward to all your videos. Still waiting to see Charlotte"s room. Hope you do that soon. Bye for now. Linda in AZ

[@NovaleeNation]

My life has been a little topsy-turvy and this is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you for posting this informative vid. I feel confident to get started. Thank you again Jen.

[@WithWonder]

Hope you feel grounded again soon 💕

[@caitlinlorea912]

I would love to see a video of donnnys baby planner/ how you are doing it now.

[@tigger827]

I would love to see more about your project life memory keeping pages. I do project life so it would be quite useful for me

[@JavaFirst]

I also use a Leuchtturm1917. I'd like to know more about how you plan trips. If I am not feeling well or am in a funk I tend to write down things to do on my "Stickies" list (I have a Mac) and then write what I actually accomplished in my bullet journal on any given day. I have the Chic Sparrow Outlander which is retired and I love it.

[@lindaalberts8770]

The stretching your toes, does that work well?

[@MJeanzy]

Both of your bullet journals are beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing. :)

[@WithWonder]

❤️❤️❤️

[@maggie5280]

I got a leather cover like yours in Navy from One Star Leather because of your previous video when you first showed it, I love having my Leuchtturm in it.

[@WithWonder]

He is quite talented at what he does!

[@theshunnedBandersnatch]

I was just wondering the other day whether you'd continued bullet journaling 😊 I'm thinking of trying it after 3 years in regular dated planners. Thanks for the video!

[@roachums123]

Great video. Thanks for sharing! And your cover is beautiful.

[@alexiamnb]

Hi Jen!! Could you do a skin care routine???🙌🏻💖 Thanks!!

[@WithWonder]

My skincare routine actually hasn't changed since my last video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2GsZqCVp7VsrNU

[@gbenware]

Hi Jen! I love your videos, thanks for sharing!! I noticed your "Lake Placid" planning page. Did you visit NY? Hoping for a vlog!

[@WithWonder]

We were just there last weekend for a family wedding. Such a beautiful place!

[@tarat26]

I love the bullet journal. So neat, and creative with layout etc. How long would you say you spend a day or week on the Journal. It's something I so need to start next year. Thank you :)

[@MA-xv7kn]

Fantastic job, but then that’s Jen! What a resume..grad from top tier university, career entrepreneur, organizing guru, artist, product specialist & loving wife, mother, family member & friend. You are reincarnated as Martha Stewart’s daughter. Plus, your loving ways exemplifies the love & grace within...Bravo!

[@dawndigianni7475]

So nice of you:)

[@MA-xv7kn]

Dawn: Ditto to sweet people such as yourself!

[@somadas9126]

So agree with you. Jen is simply one of the most amazing, inspiring persons in this world. Much like Martha Stewart, but so much more relatable and down to earth. She is one person I love to learn from. Much respect to her.

[@WithWonder]

Thank you for your kindness friend ❤️

[@mbbee83]

I use a Happy Planner mini which I love because it's small enough to carry with me every day and has some of the same flexibility of a bullet journal (I can skip things, remove pages I don't use, insert notes, etc.). I really love this new movement of giving ourselves grace and not feeling like every piece of our planner has to be perfect and using things in a way that works for us instead of the other way around.

[@WithWonder]

Awesome! 👍

[@pennyrosehandmade5276]

Hi Jen could you do a vlog or blog post about your whole food journey? With the people you’re following to find recipes? I am finding it hard to get recipes 😱❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@WithWonder]

I hope to do a resources type of blog post by the end of the year

[@pennyrosehandmade5276]

Pretty Neat Living wonderful! I look forward to it, thanks so much Jen. LOVE your content & channel x

[@theanxiousplanner3516]

Yaaaaaay :) I love your bullet journal videos!! ❤

[@dogabilir4660]

I've been waiting for this for so long 💜

[@WithWonder]

😊

[@bew1972]

Hi Jen....I may have missed this in your video but...I know you said you're still doing your daily memory keeping but I was wondering if you're still using the ECLP for that or have you started a different bullet journal for that?

[@WithWonder]

I switched over to just a regular notebook (soft cover) that is easier to travel with. Loved using the EC for that but it was bulky to pack.

[@DragonWarriorMama]

Can I ask, do stickers damage bullet journal pages at all? Like if I wanted to add something decorative? I'm very new to this I'm still researching and exploring the idea. Thanks in advance

[@kan-zee]

14:39 ✍🏼 😀 👍 ☑️ Same here...I love my Table of Contents / Index in my bujo.. 19:34 It drives me bonkers, if I don't put something in my bujo for the month...lol 😁 🙃 😜💥

[@madisondrefs2736]

Any chance you’ll start vlogging again? Missing that channel!!

[@WithWonder]

I've been posting DITL style vlogs once every few months this year and enjoying that for now 😊

[@Intentionallivingnow]

Great video! Would love to see a memory keeping video!

[@WithWonder]

It's been on my list for a LONG time. Hopefully I'll get my act together soon 😉

[@TheSoriamEffect4]

You were the one that inspired me to start using a planner years ago. And I have been bullet journaling for over a year as well! I really enjoy it, its so flexible and more fun for me than the super structured planners that you get at a store. I just posted on my channel my October Bullet journal video! I would love for you to check it out! :)

[@Paula-xp7ve]

How do you do the One Little Word? Do you chose one word for the entire year and then journal about it every month? Or do you chose a different word every month?

[@WithWonder]

It's a year long self-reflective memory keeping project. You pick a word at the beginning of the year and then you take an online class from Ali Edwards where she provides prompts once a month on ways to engage in your word. You can get crafty with it or just journal, whatever suits you. I recommend checking out Ali's website for more info: aliedwards.com/projects/one-little-word ------ I did a video on my 2017 OLW album if you'd like to see my approach: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH7IoKyloLWLeck

[@SimplyDonna]

Very nice

[@noxastrea]

Jen, rumpus doesn't mean what you seem to think it does. Rumpus means noisy. A rumpus room is a game or party room to make noise in; not a spare room. I have been catching up on you recently and noticed the "rumpus jars" in your fridge and tried to send a private message but it wouldn't let me so I just let it go then but when I heard you use it this way again I figured just leave a comment here to let you know.

[@rosereedplans2521]

Are you using an erin condren at all?

[@WithWonder]

I use a deluxe monthly for menu planning and LOVE it...ope to share this fall 😊

[@altamagia]

You don't eat animal products but you keep using and buying leather stuff?

[@TheSoriamEffect4]

I think shes mentioned before she considers herself plant based, not vegan. Let her live her life.

[@WithWonder]

As I mentioned in my first video about going plant-based, I am doing my best to no longer buy leather goods, but I will continue to use the ones that I purchased before having my change of heart as it would be a shame for them to go to waste. I am not vegan, by definition, but I am more sensitive to the animal farming industry now and am striving to be more conscious about what I consume, including what I purchase.

[@altamagia]

I'm not keeping her from living her life, haha. I'm just curious, wanting to know what her reasons are. Not the vegan police here.

[@altamagia]

@@WithWonder That's great. Thank you for your reply :)

[@TheSoriamEffect4]

altamagia sure, I totally get the whole vegan thing. But I've seen so many people on YT attack people for not being vegan. Its a little cray cray to me. I think its great when people are vegan, but behind a keyboard people can get vicious!

[@fictionaladulting]

I’m failing at my Bujo, but I keep at it.

[@WithWonder]

The beauty of the bujo is that there are no expectations. For me, it's about coming back to it when I feel called to and letting it rest when I don't. If you yearn for a planning system despite this, perhaps it's time to try something else out. Luckily, there are lots of options available! Happy Planning 😊

[@fictionaladulting]

Pretty Neat Living Thanks. I do love the flexibility of it. I have an Erin Condren life planner as well. You inspired me to use it as a “scrapbook” kind of thing. With a pic of my kids for every day. Thank you for still inspiring me after 7 years! 😘

[@WithWonder]

Love that! Such a great and accessible way to do memory keeping 👍

[@Penelope222]

You can’t fail at Bujo! That’s the beauty of it. I haven’t used mine for about six months but I will again when I’m ready.

[@LeeAnneRMT]

I just bought one. Already feel like I am failing. Trying to remind myself it's just paper.
