New bullet journal setup 💜 B5 bullet journal setup

[@JashiiCorrin]

Hi team! 💜 Hope you enjoyed the new journal setup 😄 A B5 is certainly going to be different for me; need to find ways to use all that space! 😝

[@ReignBeauxStar]

It looks big. Is it letter size?

[@kyleenorfleet]

Omg I’m about to watch now!! I’m so excited thank you 😊 🙏🏽

[@JashiiCorrin]

It's a B5 size 😄

[@kyleenorfleet]

I have an Emergency Card in an envelope glued inside the front cover of my journals. It’s got all the info about me, medical info & three emergency contacts just in case something happens to me. My journal is the one thing that is always in my bag & it’s the first thing one would grab out of my bag. I always make it a priority when setting up a new journal.

[@ilovemycalendargirl]

I do that same!!!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Yeah it’s a great idea! I need to look into doing the same 😄💜

[@mickaelpigne5107]

For me, you're the perfect bullet journalist cause you do both useful and beautiful spreads. Simplicity, effectiveness and aesthetic can work together, and you prove it on each spread. I hope that this new size of bujo allows you to fully express yourself, with less restrictions !

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks Mickael! I always appreciate your comments; always makes my day better! 😄💜

[@Krio24]

I love the combination of black and rainbow colors!🌈 I think I may try to apply it to my journal 🤔

[@JashiiCorrin]

It's one of my favourite combos for a new journal setup in particular 😄💜

[@katrinaybanez6621]

I love watching your bullet journal set-up & seeing what you do with your B5 journal. I love your color code for the grid spacing guide. I also find it very helpful on how you set up to separate keys for your daily tasks & for school. Thank you for sharing your creativity & video.

[@VJG123]

I am so glad you are trying out the B5 size. I find the B5 size is perfect for me as it offers me more room for my desired spreads. I look forward to watching and learning about spreads you come up with in the B5 size. Please give # of spaces, dots, etc. in future B5 videos so I can borrow your ideas. Thanks for your great video content!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Hi Valerie! Can do 💪 I’ve already made my May plan with me at this stage, but I’ll try remember to include spacing notes in the future 😄💜

[@adriannelaconi4368]

I love a B5. a5 is just too small for me and every time I use one (I’m using one for a wellness specific journal) I miss the B5 size lol. I hope you enjoy it, even if it’s only temporary 😊

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks Adrianne! 💜 I’m looking forward to the change!

[@goddess_eve21]

I really enjoyed watching this setup! I lived the color letters and the hint of blackout pages. Looks great! organization is always a turn on lol

[@nikiclarke821]

I LOVE watching your videos I'm in a B5 so I'm so pleased to see your set up for more inspiration. I'd love to see what you come up with for a goal action plan, im great at setting them but terrible with following through Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful creations

[@fetabrown]

Another great video, thanks! And I feel you on the lunch ‘pain points’. One of my first collections was ‘lunch tetris’ with ideas for mains, sides, snacks.

[@amyross8931]

I love the colors of this setup. Very nice setup

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks Amy! 😄💜

[@atinyaf]

This setup is super cute! Rainbow colors just make anything look nice, even when it's still really simple! I tried a B5 for my last journal and it only lasted three months! 🤷‍♀️ idk how I managed to go through it so quickly lol I liked having more room in the B5, but I went back to A5 this time. I like to keep it open on my desk while I'm working for notes and, of course, the B5 took up a lot more space. My desk isn't very big lol

[@JashiiCorrin]

Yeah that's something I'm a little worried about; how the size translates to usability of desk space and transportability 😅

[@ilovemycalendargirl]

I made the mistake of getting an A4 this year to only go through one journal. HA! Very uncomfortable size and it won't last past June 🥴

[@syddlinden8966]

used A5 all last year and went back to B5 this year and omg i love the space. i can fit all my monthly spreads on pgs vs 6 or 8, and even if i do a 2pg weekly, i have room for a little journalling.

[@kizzykat9120]

A really easy meal I found. Leftover chicken (warmed up) and cheese on a tortilla. Microwave until cheese melts, about 40 seconds on my microwave. Add a little ranch dressing and a little hot sauce. Voila! Chicken buffalo wraps.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Oh nice! Sounds like a tasty quick-fix 😄

[@KnitsFromTheVoid]

the best thing about the huge B5 pages is getting to have so much empty/negative space. In your case, really nice use of the blackout paper and borders!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Yeah I do appreciate the extra space to add more of those decorative elements 😄 while I love setups with negative space, I always seem to fill them when I set up my own journal 😝💜

[@createwithcait]

I love the idea of having more space to write things out BUT do love the size of the A5 journal when I’m bringing it around everywhere!! Can’t wait to see the spreads you create in this journal 🥰🥰

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks Cait! 😄 Gonna be very interesting making the transition from the smaller pages to the bigger ones, especially for transportability 😝

[@teabean7]

Your journal rainbow is looking fantastic! I haven't taken the plunge with a B5 for my daily journal. I am using one for my long term collections journal. I am looking forward to seeing what spreads you come up with, you are the queen of ideas! Do you think you might be doing another live? I miss those, you have spoiled us. Have a great week! 😊

[@JashiiCorrin]

I reckon the lives will certainly be back at some point! I’d like to get into the practice of doing as least one a month 👏

[@lechenx3]

I really like your videos! I would say you are by far my favorite bujo content 🥰❤

[@JashiiCorrin]

Aww thank-you! I'm glad you enjoy them 💜😄

[@jennacrystalblue2244]

I'd love to see a B5 set up to maximize space with minimal decor. To see if you could get a whole year out of one.

[@adriannelaconi4368]

I think you totally could. I use a B5 and I use mainly stickers or small drawings to accent my setups. Mostly cause I am not that great of an artist and I dont have a lot of time to be doing complicated art pieces even if I was. I agree you see a lot of the B5 users out there with the watercolors and gauche paints but you could totally do a more minimalistic spread and just have more space. I'm looking at my spreads and its literally a corner sticker here and a doodle there just cause I want something pretty to look at while maintaining its functionality. I will probably get about 8-9 months out of mine if not more (and I might try for a full year cause I tend to have less going on in the summer months) but I also include more spreads than just the basics and tend to use a full spread for the Month cover page but again I think if you were pretty intentional with your spreads and were a bit minimal in how you made the weekly spreads you could definitely fit a full year

[@JashiiCorrin]

I reckon you could totally get a full year out of one. Both Vogel and Rachel are getting full years out of their A5 Archer & Olive journals this year, so it’d totally be doable in the bigger journal 💪 not sure how long my one is going to last me, but I’m excited to get stuck into it 😄

[@aliceadler4569]

Love your hair!!! Looks so pretty!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@JashiiCorrin]

Aww thank-you Alice! 💜😄

[@thenubianreview]

I’ve always loved the B5 size, my absolute favorite! I just ordered that same journal I don’t know what i’m going to use it for, I just love how it looks!😊

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha I can relate to that method of journal ordering 👏 just ordered myself another 6 journals 😂

[@thenubianreview]

@@JashiiCorrin 🤣 Now i do feel so bad!🤣🤣

[@rochellavanderwal9320]

I am using a B5 this year (full year) and I think I might be ending up in a A5 by next year. There is so much space and I just don't do anything with it 😆 Loved seeing this setup!

[@ldegraaf]

I tried using a B5 in 2020 and loved it. I don't think I will ever use an A5 again. It really helps that I never need to take my bullet journal with me, but even if I did I think the extra bulk would be worth it because the extra space has been amazing. I hope you enjoy your new journal. One tip I would offer is to try new spreads. At first I was just making larger versions of my weekly/monthly spreads because I knew that they worked. However, 3-4 months in I decided to change things up and I now have spreads that take advantage of the extra space that the B5 offers which means that I only need 1 B5 journal a year rather than 2 A5 journals. I also figured out ways to get more info in each spread so I don't have to flip the page as much.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks for the tip Lisa! I could already feel myself tending toward the same-but-bigger mentality 👏

[@CreativeMindsCoffeeGrinds]

I’ve been wanting to start a reading journal too, but like you, I don’t feel like I read enough books to have one! I’m considering making a “media” journal for books I’ve read, shows I’ve watched, movies I’ve watched, podcasts I’ve listened to, songs/albums I like, etc. Maybe that would give us a better chance to get more use out of a journal 😊 Love your setup Jess!!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks Tory! I think that’d work better for us; having the combined media journal 😄💜

[@Jana_14320]

Making a reference journal right now and I love these pages. Thank you for sharing!

[@r__a4264]

The meal cheat-sheet page…game changer. I need seven now, it’s too late

[@AionNoBara]

Ahhh Welcome to the B5 club, Jess XD I’ve had room to do more artsy stuff along with tons of writing/journaling. I really like it so far. I have room for the next 2 months (I think lolol), so we’ll see how it goes. I really do enjoy the larger size and don’t feel like I’m scrambling to fill space. Every month, I leave one page blank for a moodboard and print out pictures that inspired the theme. I kind of feel like I need even MORE room lol! While the A5 was very nice to handle with one hand, I do like having the extra space. It’s funny how I’ve increased in sizes since starting my BuJo journey lol I wish I saw the new BuJo theme layout for B5 earlier this year LOL I have mine going horizontal like the last one. It was enough room for 6 months and I decorated the bottom edge with stickers and metallic gel pen embellishments. Looking forward to your impressions on the B5 as time goes on! Would you stay with a B5 or go back to an A5? Who knows!

[@mbo205]

Nice Setup! Could you do a video about the progress if your monthly challenge and book club? I would be interested what kind of challenge / book you choose and if you succeded in establishing new habits 🤗

So nice to see your new journal setup - after your daily February postings I was missing hearing your voice! The B5 is awesome - I use mine as a collections journal. And - a reading journal - why don’t you make one that’s multi year? I’m just setting one up now - very excited!

[@JashiiCorrin]

I read roughly 2 books last year, so thats going to be a journal for many many years 😂 someone else mentioned making it for all media though, so reading, watching and listening which I thought could be a cool idea!

Great video. I'd love to see a follow up video after you have used the B5 for a while with your thoughts about how the larger format works for decorations and art and setups. I did A5 last year and this year I switched to B5 and I like a bunch of things about the larger format but am not sure if I want to keep it permanently. Would love to hear your experiences and opinions after trying it out for a bit. Thanks!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks Jen! Good suggestion 👏 can certainly make a video like that when we come to the end of the journal 😄💜

[@sojubujo-bulletjournalingf2044]

Classic and gorgeous, per usual :) I always love watching your videos. Do you ever think about how to incorporate social justice themes into your bullet journal? I'm clearly interested in that (hence the channel name!) and always looking for additional inspiration from others :)

Hi Jess. Sorry if you have answered this question a million times but how do you do those grey brush tip lines so straight and solid? When I use mine I have to do it a couple of times to fill the line

[@JashiiCorrin]

It took a bit of practice, bit it's mainly just trying to apply a consistent amount of pressure, and move my whole arm rather than just my wrist when I put the lines down (that part in particular helps keep them straight!) 💜

I have a question: I am so close to finishing my first 2022 bullet journal as well at the end of April ill have approx 26 pages (13 spreads) left i use on average 14 spreads month.. do i start a new one for May and leave pages blank? OR do May in my current one and know that ill be splitting the month between two bullet journals???? ps i love the simplicity of this setup black with little pops of RAINBOW (chefs kisses)

[@JashiiCorrin]

Ooo that’s a good question! Especially tricky because you’d only be one spread shy! What you could try doing is using a tip-in to add and extra sheet (and thus spread) to your journal so you could fit the whole month in, just to make the most of the space you have left 🤔 otherwise I’d be inclined to make it an opportunity to try some new more “compact” layout styles that get you using fewer spreads where possible 💪 if you did opt to move into a new journal for the new month though, can always use those extra pages for other things (I sometimes cut mine out to use as space paper for making future tip-ins) 💜 hope that helps!

[@tracymil1]

In currently using this size and when I took out my a5 I just couldn't cope. All my space is gone. I live my big size journal.

[@ReignBeauxStar]

I see that I prefer a bigger journal and this B5 looks pretty big. Is it letter sized?

[@adriannelaconi4368]

Letter size is generally about A4 (or slightly smaller) I know in the US letter size is 8x11 inches and a4 is 8.4x11.7 inches. The A&O B5 is 6.93 x 9.84 inches (A5 is 5.75 x 8.25″). I tried an A4 for a very short amount of time and it was massive. B5 is a nice compromise because its just the right amount of increase over an A5 and not so huge you feel like you are carrying around the biggest book ever

[@ReignBeauxStar]

@@adriannelaconi4368 interesting. Thank you so very much. Lol I have no problem with the massive book carrying because I won't be carrying it anywhere. My Bujo stays on my desk. But I do love a big book. Now question is do I stick with what I have as i have only used two months worth of space or do I get a A4 now??? Lol 🤔#bujoloverproblems

[@jellyberry90]

I mean, I don‘t wanna be an enabler or anything (that might be a lie) buuut you could always do a ‚media‘ or ‚stories‘ journal and do movies, shows, games, books etc. 😄 I mean all of these things typically tell a story that affects you and makes you have thoughts and feelings so it might be worth journaling about idk 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 I‘ve been toying with that thought myself but I somehow stopped consuming any media so I decided I might not need that after all 🥲🤣

[@JashiiCorrin]
