Your videos are always so relaxing to watch. Like productive asmr. The leafy theme is very pretty, I like how clean it looks. My emoji for this year is a calming cup of tea. 🍵 These past few months have been extremely hectic so I hope the latter half of the year calms down.

[@PlantBasedBride]

I hope you get the calm 6 months you need (and I can relate!) ❤ sending you relaxed, peaceful vibes 🍵

Tip: Leave one edge of your fold out spread unglued so that it’s also a handy pocket 🥰

[@PlantBasedBride]

Omg this is genius!?! How have I never thought of this! 😳 🙌🙌🙌

[@flourishxkate2786]

Super tip! thanks

[@ffelweed]

i use my bullet journal to track stress and pain levels for my doctors, so i have fold out spreads of more detailed scales for both! it’s v useful

[@PlantBasedBride]

That’s such a perfect use for that space ❤️

[@anaisroger5938]

I am French and I have seen peau d'âne several times, it is inspired from a French fairytale. It is categorized as a musical with a 60's pop esthetic. I agree that the ending is quite weird. If you liked it you might enjoy the 1946 la Belle et la Bête from Cocteau that has the same whimsical fairytale feel, but less songs and in black and white.

[@PlantBasedBride]

Oo merci pour la suggestion! J’adore Beauty and the Beast (Disney animated version) et veux voir des versions basées sur le conte de fées original ❤️

[@anaisroger5938]

@@PlantBasedBride It is different from the Disney version, but it is still quite good given how old it is and the actor who plays the king in Peau d'Ane also played in it. It might be hard to find though!

[@karinasantana8318]

This is so cute and functional! I've been a bullet journaler for the past 4 years but recently got into filling it out every day. I only use a monthly overview spread + weekly spreads and have been looking for new things to incorporate. I'll definitely be using the dopamine menu and future log setup!!!!! I hope the next 6 months look like the 💝💃 emojis as I try to become more socially outgoing!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Oh I love that! Good luck getting out of your social comfort zone 🥰

[@amandeepkaur4565]

I love your videos! Also, your voice is so soothing, like I would get audiobooks with your voice LOL 🥰 Love the new nails as well!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Haha aw thanks! I’d love to narrate an audiobook someday 🥹❤️

[@bewell.celeste]

☮ I use a quarterly future log and I've been using your dutch door weekly with a task list and weekly habit tracker on the far right panel that I saw on one of your old videos. It's worked well for me this last year, but I am noticing I'm ready for the next iteration. I don't know if I want to go so far as to cut my pages to create a monthly block like you do (though I love it!). I'm on the lookout something simple and effective that will work for me as my life and planning needs continue to change.

[@selbarton]

A lot of adhd people say they need all the decorations to keep them using a planner, but I go to the other extreme where mine is just using fancy writing for headers and line thickness of any functional, drawn out grids. The decorations distract me. They are pretty to watch, and I could land in hyper focus so easily doing it. But then nothing gets done except that, and each time I look at it, I get sucked back into the decorations instead of planning. I was diagnosed about 1 1/2 years ago, and it has explained so many things I have always done. I think I binge watched almost all of How to ADHD's videos after the diagnosis. I am still unmedicated and working through other coping strategies to assist since I react weird to medicine a lot. (I would gladly try meds faster if not for my reactions.) So I wish you good luck in finding what works for you even if it takes some time. It is certainly worth it.

[@PlantBasedBride]

I’m definitely one of those people who needs the creative artistic side to keep me going with it, but I completely get why it wouldn’t work for a lot of people! I’m trying medication but it’s definitely a journey. I’m starting to incorporate different coping strategies and trying to figure out what works but there’s a lot of trial and error lol 😂 thank you for the encouraging words! ❤️

[@ks7343]

I love the simple beauty of the branches and the Kraft paper! Might borrow this idea!

Thank you, from an other bujo adhd’er - its amazing to watch and see how much effort you are able to put into this - im a little bit in love with you now 😅

[@PlantBasedBride]

Haha aw thanks! I’ve always been creative/artistic and it’s one of the few reliable ways I’ve found to quiet my mind (which I’m sure you know can be so nice when our brains are usually going a mile a minute!) ❤️ art time is like meditation for me

[@marjoriedybec3450]

🏖 I always include a weekly set-up, a quote page, and someplace to record a summary of each month (wins, highlights, and things I learned.) This month I set up a tracker to record the hours I spend at my laptop studying my required continuing ed.

[@asterius8]

I lost my first bullet journal last week. I’ve been considering getting a new one for the second half before July. I don’t want to give up on finding my first, but I don’t want to fall behind either.

[@annae2375]

Haha I watch bullet journal videos as I'm updating my bullet journal. I have spreads tracking my monthly chores and a symptom tracker for eczema that I also have to make sure to include. Mindfulness is my word for the second half of the year. I love HowToADHD and the dopamine so I may have to borrow that for my setup as well!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Love mindfulness as a focus for the rest of the year ❤️ I’ve struggled with chore tracking and tried so many different systems, none of which work for me. It’s a journey lol

[@MissMarilynDarling]

The best advice I can give for someone like myself with ADHD is have a schedule of events during your day. I also have reminders on my phone and I have an alexa it is a wonderful tool I have it set up to go off every hour to remind me of what time of day it is so the day doesnt slip away and I wonder where did all my time go.. It might sound annoying Let me tell ya this thing has saved my life I have a set schedule I have a list of things that need to be done in the allotted time than I usually have time inbetween those times to do the fun things that one can do to keep me happy.. anyway I hope that helps... just remember that you are exactly where you need to be and dont just do something stand there ... take care

[@PlantBasedBride]

This is great advice! My Apple Watch helps so much as I have chimes set up to vibrate every 30 minutes and can use it for timers and reminders ❤️

[@SpellboundArtstudio]

I don’t have adhd but I feel like I could definitely benefit from the dopamine menu. Honestly I may make a serotonin menu as well. I feel like I’m always in a neurotransmitter deficiency 😂.

[@brendabignall9926]

Love your word - Halcyon! Last year mine was Selah. Found in the Bible after a Psalm. It means: Pause, and think calmly about that (what was written above) ------- I love the ADD Menu spread idea. ❤ I have a friend who has PTSD. Her counselor suggested she write out some steps to take for when she gets triggered, and to tape it to the back of her phone. I have anxiety. I put a page or 2 on my phone for imagery. I'm using Aesthetic Widgets App to put widgets for displaying a rotating display of selected groups of imagery from my gallery app. When I'm feeling anxious and need a dopamine fix, I open my phone to the widgets page and watch the images and memes scroll by for a few minutes. ------- Thank you for sharing!!! Hugs & Sparkles! 🫂❤️✨

[@koalaskrypin]

I don't have ADHD but I now feel like I want to tell all my (three) ADHD friends about the menu 💝 Seems like such a good idea. And if they don't have a BuJo maybe they can put the list on their phone or in their calender.

[@koalaskrypin]

I am def gonna use the waiting on page. There is one delivery company that always delay the packages and sents notifications about it like an hour before it is suppose to arrive and give a new time or date so you can never trust them. I just always forgets which company it is and this would help me get an overview so I can pick another if option is available. Some times I would rather pay a little extra to know it will arrive on time. Thank you for sharing so generously.

[@suzisaintjames]

I was watching Dr. David Amen, brain expert. He mentioned one of his patients with ADD who eliminated eggs and gluten and was much better a week later. One thing about grains that most people don't know is that farmers use Roundup weed killer in the harvesting process... even in "organic" grains... It's not required for farmers to report it's usage because it's an industry standard. I know you live in Canada, but research how much grain is imported from the USA and other countries... It's a lot. Cheerios has the highest amount of RoundUp in this cereal than any other food! It's most grains wheat, oats, barley, rye... that are harvested with RoundUp. Some rice (from China?) is loaded with arsenic 😢. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@bridgetcahalan8049]

It’s been like a decade since I watched it- but Donkey Skin (or Thousand Furs) is my favorite fairy tale so one of my college roommates showed it to me. I speak 0 French, but knew the story and man. French cinema is weird. But I was mostly just thrilled that anyone adapted the story.

Oh god, Peau d’âne! Im a C17 lit specialist and that is one of the weirdest contes de fées. I haven’t watched the movie myself, but my colleagues who are contes specialists have told me it’s weird. 😂

[@angelafasold962]

I want to set up a journal with multiple flip outs, one would have the shift work calendars we use at my facility. Another would have common reference numbers/codes. Another would have our routine check in schedule and key dates. I currently have them in sections but it would be so much better as a tip in/fold out. Just haven’t quite figured out how to organize that many.

[@daniellemarics]

Strong 💪 is my word. Love the dopamenu! I do not have ADHD but totally want to try that out.

[@PlantBasedBride]

Love that ❤️ it could definitely be helpful to non-ADHD folks, too!

[@TristanBailey]

I like your menu. I might add it to the thing I’m trying. “Windows of open or closed” for when I am not getting good with work. Don’t snack if it is 1h around food time. As I tend to snack 30min before lunch and then I remember I “I should be hungry” Plus windows when it would be good to do a walk or house work. Not run off to them when I just don’t want to do the work.

[@kentonrune6621]

Tbh as someone who always forgets about journalling because "out of sight out of mind", how do you not forget to update it and to enjoy it, I always feel like my spreads look horrible and that makes me forget easier. But i forget regardless

Hello! What was the name of the film you’re watching?

[@solar1913]

Peau d’âne was is one of the many Charles Perrault fairy tale I read in my younger years and I saw the film around the same time. Was a bit of a weird film for an 8 years old but I remember liking it.

[@PlantBasedBride]

I haven’t read any of Perrault’s work. Are there any you’d recommend in particular? I’m intrigued after watching Peau d’âne!

[@solar1913]

@@PlantBasedBride they are children’s fairy tale. At least the version I read way back when. But Puss in the boot’s (Chat botté), Little Red Riding hood (Le petit chaperon rouge), Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty they are all Perrault’s tales. My favorite of him was Barbe Bleu where a woman marry a man and find that he killed his previous wife’s. She’s able to escape. It was a nail bitter for me (terrified 8 years old😁). You can have a book that comprise most of his tales “Les conte de Perreault”. I had version with nice drawings. I think I need to go shopping for it. I’m feeling nostalgic. I was not understanding why you said the ending of Peau d’Âne left you perplex. I had to Google it and I have no memory of that ending! Might have missed it but in my defence I saw that movie in around 1978…. It’s been a minute.

[@ZeroKiryuufan]

i just discovered your videos and i love everything about the way you do it: the atmosphere, the cat (duh!), your calm voice and the way you explain things. i just have one question: i am not good at drawing...so maybe ...is there a tutorial for these "easy and non-fancy" leaf design? 🙈🙈

[@TheKaloeli]

For me is very important to keep a "project" page, so I can write down every craf project that I did that year, such as knitting, crochet, sewing, bookbinding. Os good to know when you did what.

[@Benouille1988]

I'm french and I grew up loving Peau d'âne, mostly for the songs, but I rewatched it recently and errr yeah the story is "a tad" disturbing 😅... Still love the songs though (fun fact, the french pastry chef of Dalloyau tried making the cake and the recipe in the song doesn't work 😂 he did reinvent it though if you want to try it is somewhere on the internet )

[@Benouille1988]

It helps if you think of the story as a mashup of classic fairy tales : Snow White (prettiest in all the land), Cinderella (a ring so small it fits no one), Golden Goose (donkey who gives gold and jewels)... The original stories were kinda creepy as well

[@dem_itra]

I also do an analog period tracker but instead of using calendar months I do each column the length of my cycle with little notations for when a new month starts

[@dem_itra]

I like doing it this way so I can really quickly see any patterns in symptoms. Like "hm interesting I always have X symptom on day 14 of my cycle"

[@PlantBasedBride]

Ohhhh interesting! I never thought to do it this way but now I want to try. It would be very interesting to see patterns in that context!
