Hi team! 💜 Hope you liked the new setup 😄 as mentioned in the video, today is the official kick-off for EPIC Goals, the course for people who are sick of setting the same goals time and time again without achieving them. Definitely been a labour of love for me and I'm really excited to share it with you 🥳 To see more about the course and everything that's included, jump over to jashii.com/pages/epic-goals 🥰

[@maartjedegroot9598]

I would call your theme: gothic romance Love the bullet journal. I just got it myself

[@JashiiCorrin]

Ooo that’s a nice theme name! 💜 cool that we have matching journals 😄

[@xvxv711]

I watch your videos three times… 1st time - to go to sleep 2nd time -to watch from start to finish 3rd time - to use as a guide when I create my own

[@JashiiCorrin]

Oh awesome 😄💜 glad it could serve multiple uses for you 👌

[@7his1s3mi]

The double lines around the lantern look almost intentional, symbolic glow from a 2d light source.

[@JashiiCorrin]

That’s a nice way to think of it, yeah 💜👌

[@solar1913]

I love that grid decoration idea, maybe not the double up but it’s not that visible. I will « steal » that idea😊

[@amypoole30]

I also want to add, I totally agree! I have tried the basic bullet journaling and my adhd will not have anything to do with it. I have always been crafty and this combination is definitely for me and my adhd. The colors help me keep my focus and attention to things I need to do but, also because I get to be creative in my journal layout, it allows me to scratch that "itch" of creativity which helps me love my bujo. Thanks to you I found what I needed to stick with my bujo!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Heck yeah for getting to bring creativity into our productivity systems 💪 It's just so much better when it looks nice, haha 😝

[@DSylvan77]

I’ve always thought of it as: Hogwarts library : Dark academia Belle’s library : Light academia 😊

Who's Belle?

[@ajmaceywrites]

@@CrisOnTheInternetfrom Beauty and the Beast

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

@@ajmaceywrites thanks, I thought it was her but since I haven't watched or read Harry Potter I don't know much about it, so I wasn't sure.

[@JashiiCorrin]

That’s a cool way to distinguish between them! 😄💜

[@menollywhite8674]

Books, dark flowers, kraft paper newsprint/maps and a typewriter- that’s very dark academia, but its also very witchy (celestial and lanterns) and gothic (black everywhere, those drips on the front), especially when you look at the journal itself. Very pretty!

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

Jess I love how detailed you are putting together layouts, you're my favorite bullet journal creator.

[@AnneQuiet]

Same 😊

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks! 😄💜

[@planningwithkay]

Ohhh this color scheme and theme is simply stunning Jess… your spreads always come together so beautifully.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks Kayla! 😄💜

[@avalonkerr8332]

The first big sticker gave me a casual Wiccan vibe. Love the colors!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Oh cool theme name! Glad you liked the palette! 😄💜

[@larafenner]

To avoid transfer from gel pens, I have a scrap piece of paper I call my "blot paper" I will write and then when done place the blot paper over and lightly press and then I don't have transfer to the next page :-)

[@DesertGal]

Very pretty and such a great job! I love the contrast as well and I don’t think I’ve ever used black in my journals aside from a black kitty sticker for my “Gracie” who’s 3 years old. Thank you so much for the ideas and creative inspiration. I agree, not sure if it’s a trend as I’m not online much aside from a couple of YT journal channels, but I’ve been having lots of fun with washi and using in a scrapbook way. Have an awesome week!

Beautiful! Giving vintage witchy vibes and I am here for it! Just found your page. I am subscribing right now! 💜

Thanks! I might be biased, but I think it’s way better than SMART goals 😝

[@nrjm26]

This is sooo pretty! I love seeing your decorating style evolve over the years! I don't know much about the whole *aesthetics* names either, but I'd probably refer to this as a romantic crafty witch theme 😅 I also ordered that journal a few weeks ago and can't wait for it to come, it's so beautiful!

[@ajmaceywrites]

I’m off work this week save for one thing I need to do so I was looking at setting up a nujo for July-onwards so this is perfect timing for inspiration🎉

[@JashiiCorrin]

Oh awesome! Glad it was timely for you 😄 Hope you have a good week off 💪💜

[@kristenbooks]

LOVE the leisure dashboard. In my last bujo, I decided to try a Dopamenu (aka dopamine menu) but I've found myself never actually using it because the functionality felt vague. The idea of the leisure dashboard feels like a similar idea with clearer functionality for me IMO, because if a leisure activity is not front of mind, it's much easier to grab for Instagram and start scrolling instead.

[@shanyavirasinghe8591]

Love it Jess! It’s such a functional journal but oh so aesthetically pleasing ❤ The colour combinations in particular are speaking to me and I may use it as my overarching theme for 2025 with a different pop of colour for each month! I tend to use one journal a year as I don’t include trackers; and like there to be some sort of element that ties the entire journal together despite having monthly themes. For example, my 2024 journal is the Tsuki ‘Summer Witch’ by notebook therapy, and the overarching theme was to include one element each month that was the same colour as the cover of the journal. Which hasn’t been easy as it’s an unusual shade of purple!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Oh that's be a great overarching theme 😄 Glad you liked it! 💜

[@LiamHooper-v8t]

Great video. I've been following it

[@lauramarianne1702]

This is amazing! I've always opted for the ready calendars, cause I've found the self-made ones a bit... tacky. But this one inspired me to make my own!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Aww thank-you! I'm glad you liked it 😄💜

[@Mellylein]

Dear Jess, thank you for your video 💐. I really like the color combination. Honestly, I'm not only hoping for more videos here on this channel, but also for new vlogs with Vogel on the vlog channel. Best wishes from Melly ✨ from Germany

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks Melly! 😄💜 Glad you liked it!

There must be some sad students at the school you used to teach at. If there were more teachers like you in the school system, more kids would make it to university. Your fun, easy to understand and your explanations and instructions are easy to follow. You have cleared up this confused mind hole. LOL A huge fan and will hopefully soon be a member and a course owner. Just waiting on my next check...Can't wait!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks for your kind words, Amy 😄 glad to have you here with us 💪💜

[@sprncssrdr]

Ok, I love this set up! And I could see this being considered Dark Academia, because that theme invokes an old ornate personal library with a big well loved leather wingback chair, classic literature, and a fireplace.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Excellent 😄 good to know I'm not totally off-base, haha

[@ToreyRamos]

For your overview calendars, you could use different colored dots for your date dots to differentiate the months. I’ve also been planning my videos this exact same way for my last two journals and I love it. I love your setup so much! 😍

[@JashiiCorrin]

Ooo cool idea! Maybe I'll double-over the dots for alternating months so we have a colour difference 😄 thanks for the idea, Torey! 💜

[@Mongoly8]

I'm about to be starting a new bullet journal. My last one lasted me for almost 7 years. To be fair a couple years I didn't use it very much but mostly I'm the queen of tiny handwriting and only use two to three page spreads per month. My new journal is so pretty but I'm a bit trepidatious to actually start writing in it (it is supposed to start as of July 1st). Previously the only longer term "collections" I have done are my yearly goals page but I'm trying to decide if I want to add more as it seems like it would be convenient at the beginning on my journal. I'm just not sure if I will actually use them and I find that if I feel like I have wasted space in my journal I am less likely to use it. Also not sure if it makes more sense to copy over my goals for this year to my new journal. On a side note Jess thank you for your channel! I found it last December because of the reading journal flip throughs you did, but I stuck around because its the first planner channel that has actively made me excited about putting plans to paper rather than it feeling like it is a chore. I've seen a heightened productivity in the last six months because of this which helped me manage to finish my dissertation on time while also juggling my academic job search. It all went better than imagined and I just wanted you to know that you helped plant one of the seeds that made it possible and less stressful so THANK YOU!

[@JashiiCorrin]

7 years in one journal is impressive! Totally makes sense given the space you're using per month though, your writing certainly must be small! 💜 Awesome to hear that the channel and content has helped get you excited about planning 😄 and congrats on finishing your dissertation, that's great! 🥳

[@JenniferStewart07]

Thanks!

[@JashiiCorrin]

[@paperstoryjournals]

I use a simple alphabet or numbering instead of icons. Just makes my setup faster and I don’t have to fuss with drawing incredibly small.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Fair 👌 I find the icons easier to remember without a key and gotten pretty good at drawing them with a super fine pen. Sometimes they turn out a little interesting though 😂

J I’m looking at starting a five year journal and was looking for some videos on them. I have seen some of yours that talk about them but wonder if you had videos about the five year journal exclusively? Also I know some of the basics but wonder if you do like a monthly spread in between each of the months for like memories etc and then just do the daily pages? Does that make sense or did I just have verbal diarrhea?😂

[@JashiiCorrin]

Hey Jennifer! 😄 This was the video I had about setting up my 5 year journal: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoe4gnyJhZujjpo and this was the one talking about how I was finding it a year later: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmitmYp9mJibb9E I set mine up so it was super easy to do all at once (the initial setup that was) and given the amount of space I had in the notebook I picked, I opted to not have any monthly summary layouts, rather yearly summaries at the start of the notebook; one page per year, split into monthly sections 👌 My notebook has 192 pages though, so if you had a notebook with more space, could totally work it to have monthly summary pages in there too 💜

[@emdEma]
