I love your systems. They are fully functional and cleary worked out for your needs. Vids like these are what the community needs more of. "Doing something because it works for you" should be everybody's motto!

[@littletinyegg]

Agreed! Thank you so much 🥰

[@Lilstarnerd]

This is SO cool to see!!! Love seeing how other artists brains work!!!

[@Lilstarnerd]

Also loving the stream of consciousness witting idea

[@littletinyegg]

Thanks so much Al! Glad you enjoyed. And yeah stream of consciousness is so helpful for me! Helps with the brain too louds

[@virtuallymai]

setting up my 2024 and i'm inspired on how you did yours

[@littletinyegg]

Ahh I love that! Thank you!

[@cheychc]

love the doodles on the monthly pages, gonna steal that for my own book. Thanks for the great vid!!!

[@littletinyegg]

Yay! Thank you!

[@halinav]

oh!!!! Would love to see your flip through at the end of the year! So fun to see all the doodles! I am in Hobonichi Cousin and have had hard time to use A6. Maybe my hands are too big LOL - but the size feels restricting (esp. with all the quotes taking space on the bottom of the pages). I got notebook/day free type of version, but still feels like it's too cramped.

[@littletinyegg]

Haha I can totally feel that! I might get the day free next year but I think the small size is just so cute! I’m excited to see how it looks at the very end!

[@hannahpickert9061]

I'm so excited to see murals you work on!!!

[@littletinyegg]

Thanks Hannah! I’m excited to give it a shot!

[@erin470]

Your cat’s meows are so cute!! Also this was so helpful, I’m trying to decide which hobonichi to buy and it’s nice to see how people use theirs. I’m definitely going to use the todo list on the pencil board idea!

[@maalaus]

Yes!! Super interested in the end the year flip through!!

[@littletinyegg]

Yay! Can’t wait to see what the rest of the year holds 💃🏼

[@fuzzydragons]

i've never heard of that way of journaling, will have to look into it more 🙂

[@littletinyegg]

It’s really helpful for me! Different strokes for different folks of course but I like it!

[@cathyminers5231]

Is the piano-playing frog sticker your design? I LOVE it!

[@littletinyegg]

No i wish!! it is from an artist called keaton flowers- @k.illustro on IG ~

[@cathyminers5231]

@@littletinyegg Thank you very much!

[@madzdzia]

our bdays are one day apart! happy early bday fellow aries :) i'm curious why you separate morning pages from your hobonichi journal. do you find it easier to manage multiple notebooks? do you ever find it repetitive to do both morning pages + your hobonichi journaling? for me, my brain can only handle one notebook for everything! really liked seeing your system. it's giving me ideas for my own setup

[@littletinyegg]

Omg happy early birthday! 🐏 I feel like the morning pages book is more of a throwing everything in there, it wouldn’t be a big deal to burn it or lose it, I mostly use it like a big sticky note pad that I dump all my brain funk into. Where the hobo I’m thinking about flipping back through at the end of the year and making it somewhat presentable while also functional? If that makes sense! But I’ve always kept a million different notebooks with diff purposes so it doesn’t feel repetitive! I get the appeal of having it all in one spot tho!

[@taniaalva5557]

Love this so much. I've been journaling but idk why I never thought to add doodles. I'm literally an artist 🤦‍♀️

[@jewellscott]

We (I) definitely want an update!

[@SilviInsania-o2x]

Thank you for this, i love your systems are and i decide to apply some of your systems to mine, and it’s just one the best additions i did to my 📝 journal

[@littletinyegg]

Aw i love that! Thanks for watching!

[@deelliia8794]

PLEASE design washi tape/tote/shirt!

[@littletinyegg]

On it! 🫡

[@macks5502]

[@newflanged_]

@@littletinyegg really? So April 2023 to April 2024?

[@littletinyegg]

@@newflanged_ I think so! Something about their school system in Japan?

[@newflanged_]
