Plan With Me: November, 2019!

[@ooohlalaandrea]

I'm so glad you don't edit out your "mistakes" or real time decision making because that really shows us possible road blocks and/or options. A lot of people seem to be nervous to be realistic online because if someone makes fun of your "character" its easier to take than if you're being yourself and hear negativity about it, but it's those honest, true-to-self creators I relate to more & enjoy watching most. It's not always easy to put your "short comings" online (no matter how trivial) but then we not only can't learn from you as much, but it leaves us feeling so inadequate in comparison if you're always so perfect! I hope this came across correctly and how I intended, but I really do appreciate it and feel comfortable speaking for the rest of your audience as well! ❤

U r the Bob Ross of Journaling with Ur happy little accidents

[@homegirlshy]

Haha I actually LOLed

[@inkedscroll]

I know I am watching this video over 2 years later, but I have to say thank you. I was looking for the perfect spread and I think this is it. Thank you for sharing.

[@Rhynni]

Yours is the only channel that has truly ever inspired me to go and actually not only prepare my BuJo, but actually use. I've been on hiatus for some time already, then this video pops up in my subs, and voila, I am so excited to start BuJo-ing again, following this new method. Not just that, but inspired to get out there and do things! Thank you so much Kara, and blessings to you and the fam!

[@lindaleefranson]

Just cut my first dutch door for December. I don't know how many times I watched this video and Oct's plan with me but I did it. Love the layout and so excited to try out the Alastair Method! Thanks Kara!!

[@blufaerie]

I love this type of bullet journal vlogging because I always find myself in a mild panic over things, and this helps me not feel so alone in it. Beautiful work, Kara!

[@yvonnechiang5874]

Love this video! This is exactly the format I drew up in July 2018, and I've stuck with it ever since! Dutch door for the whole month with my sleep and mood trackers at the bottom. That way, I don't have to draw them for every week, and I can see the month's sleep/mood patterns at a glance.

[@sentient.ball.of.stardust]

You could just draw the boxes as normal but leave the titles until you use the box. That way, if you don't need that box that week, at the end of the week you can do a quote, doodle, week highlight... whatever.

[@scraphappyjackie]

Great idea!

[@tylane6192]

You probably dont care at all but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any help you can offer me

[@flynnvihaan289]

@Ty Lane instablaster ;)

[@elizabethkamras897]

I am so happy you are doing plan with me again. I needed a push to get my planning on track. I am going with your weekly plan and trying Alistair method. Thank you!! So glad your health is getting on track. Nothing worse than feeling lousy for a length of time. You can feel depressed, like a failure, and compare yourself to others who 'have it together '. You are together! Go you!

[@chanelectricx]

Idk what that says about me - I felt my anxiety spike through the root when you cut first, and said “we’ll see.” My brain almost near caught on fire. Thank you for reminding me- it’s paper, you can always fix it.

[@7Bloodfire]

If you paste all of the cut ones down, you wont have the growing gap between sections that make you have to alternate.

[@SarahLewis2005]

When you paste down the last strip (when it is on the bottom) you could always not paste the top and it could be an extra pocket related to that month.

[@yvonnechiang5874]

For the side tabs, they tend to get flimsy and floppy if they're so little. Here's an alternative... Just like you didn't need to do any cutting for the last tab, you could also cut just the bottom bit for the 2nd-last tab. And then just a bit more for the next tab. So you'd cut the most for the front tab, but less and less for each tab behind it. Because they lay over each other.

[@rachelmaloney2254]

Yvonne Chiang I thought the same thing! She wouldn’t be able to outline the tabs then though would she? Or would you just draw them on?

[@DonnaInForma]

Rachel Berry sure she would. Just go on the first page, draw a border for each tab

[@yvonnechiang5874]

@@rachelmaloney2254 Yes, she would. Each tab can still be labelled. Let me know if you'd like to see a picture of mine.

[@Laomischka76]

Was I the only one talking to Kara while she's looking for the purple tombow?.. in the 2:49 Me: "Isn't that one right there?, it looks like that kind of purple to me, Right there Kara, See I told you!!!" 😂😂😂

[@ooohlalaandrea]

Yes lol I did it when she was going to make a tab on the last page! I was like, "Don't put one there, you'll mess it up"! So when she figured it out and said, "oh I don't actually want one there", I was like, "that's what I just said"! 😂😂😂 I'm paraphrasing of course but it was pretty similar

[@Bohoberryshop]

Mischka76 I’m smiling SO hard at this comment thread 💜 While editing, I was like “HOW did I not see that purple Tombow?!?” 🤣

[@blufaerie]

Yup! 🤣

[@katehartridge8773]

Yes me 🤣🤣

[@justalurkr]

I didn't see the pen, but I was there with her on that one tab being too small.

[@homegirlshy]

You have the best handwriting and style ever. I love your layouts.

[@laurie3881]

I don't do a gratitude line every day but some days I do several. My gratitude page is one of my favourites. I'm going to try the tabs next month. I love how that turned out for you.

[@monicahalvorsen5634]

I´m loving seeing you back working on your bullet journal, been following you for three years now ❤️ keep going!!

[@Moxiedori]

I love all of the reflection you share when reviewing your past month. Thank you for sharing your process.

[@KJM_Writes]

As a new runner myself, I hated couch to 5k for a number of reasons, but I’ve since found that LOTS of people have the same experience and end up getting inured over and over again. If you’re having trouble with it again this time around, please check out “jeffing” as an alternative. It’s a run-walk-run strategy that is completely flexible depending on your fitness and goals and I have found it to be a lot more friendly!

[@533134]

This is so relaxing 😌 missed your videos, Kara!!

[@straydogstrut115]

November is almost over but I only just caught this video. Love your layout this month. Very clean and nice choice of highlight colour. I really appreciate you explaining your takeaways from the previous month and figuring out the happy accidents 'live' as you go. Thank you x

[@janiceevans1804]

I'm so so glad you're back to paper bullet journal.. I've really missed this x

[@Carolee-nf2ud]

I love your Dutch door concept. Will watch this video again to copy your idea. Thanks

[@kitdubhran2968]

Don’t forget “notes” aren’t wasted space unless you have something else you want to put there. It’s space you wouldn’t be using anyway, and you’ve got it there just in case, or as a catch all for extra stuff that has no home.

[@rosequartzreptiles1118]

I actually started my bujo journey all those years ago with a dutch door spread. Used it in my entire first bujo. Its been really nice going back to it after watch your video last month!

[@bm-k9546]

You could do another drawn in tab on the left so that when you are on the gratitude page you can easily flip back to week one.

[@katehartridge8773]

Love your video. I love the way you just work through it as you go along. Thank you for sharing

[@MsInescruz]

Oh my god, what a coincidence! I started "couch to 5 km" yesterday, 29th, as well! I hope we can both make it! Good luck!

[@kate_bujo_journy2700]

Jusy what I need to get my head back in the planning space. Love the videos. Please keep them coming. Xxx

[@courtneygraem5910]

Use the “scraps” as notes? That way they can move from page to page if they are things that bleed from week to week.

[@parlbesatt]

So happy I saw something from you on Facebook and realized you're at least partially back on paper. I've been using Dutch doors a lot, but for days within my weeklies. I'll try your version now!

[@LoriZubie]

Deep breath. I was holding my breath! 😂😂😂

[@jenniferhopkins5694]

Hi Kara! I just rewatched this video looking for inspiration for my January spreads and as usual found it! But the real highlight is your college football tracker. My husband is also a Michigan Wolverines fan and has brainwashed me in to one too! I wasn’t really into it before him, but love it now! Next year I am stealing your tracker and putting it in my Bujo!!!!

[@LadyCrimson13]

Now I can't wait for Friday!

[@magn0lia_tree655]

Love this thank you for sharing. I love the flip through your October Dutch doors after the cutting excitement last time 😂✨💫💖✍️🇬🇧

[@ekocahyopurnomo1068]

That's a good idea for 2020 Bujo setup... thanks alot... simple 'n so masculin... 😊👍 I decided to subscribe your youtube...

[@Crystal-jb9fc]

Love your monthly layout

[@EricaArcher124]

Wheeee. A good ole fashioned PWM!!

[@iamlaurenhannah]

When you were looking for that purple Tombow I was like "AARGGGHHH IT'S RIGHT THERE!!!"

[@LeezaJNZ]

Yay, glad you liked my idea for the cut pages enough to use it! I did this for so many years! Wish I could share a pic of my journals from back then, I loved doing tabs too! :)

[@Bohoberryshop]

Liza Adams I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the tip! I couldn’t stand those trimmed bits this month and I’m so excited that they won’t be there in November 💜

[@LeezaJNZ]

@@Bohoberryshop You are so welcome. I also used to put one of my thin washi tapes over the cut edge. It makes a nice 'frame' and you can't tell the page was cut then too! :)

[@hannahmorae4658]

i redid your last month setup for my November and i can’t wait to try this layout for December 💓💓 I really enjoy your videos!

[@Kat_Author2021]

I just got your box today! I'm so excited to use it! Note: I put the gratitude log at the back of my month, only because I had already started next week's layout. Also, the bujo I'm using for Oct-Dec is larger than a normal bujo, but the stickers still fit. :D Thanks, Kara.

[@darleneshipe7120]

Kara, I love how your sweet personality shines through your videos! ;^D

[@darialay3472]

My anxiety!! All that cutting! But I made it thru. I wanted to try this out for Dec before I decide for 2020... But I'm LOVING the process of making it! Thank you! 😁

[@katie.zhang21]

Thx for the pink! I love pink!

[@Bunefoo401]

Thank you for sharing ... I need to try the Dutch door thing ... I’m still learning. ❤️

[@CourtneyBriee]

Love how you're incorporating the dutch doors. I'm trying to figure out something similar... A weekly Alastair type task list with a dutch door for the dailies, but I cant wrap my head around it quite yet!

[@anastasiakovaliovadavies5612]

Love your layout! I’m so going to give this layout a go! Thank you for sharing as I was running out of ideas Xx

[@sotvanbreslau2768]

Very useful video! I’m not as crafty in drawing straight lines and my handwriting is not that great either, but I’m gonna give the tabs a go! Up until now I was using separate pages for separate weeks but tabs seem nice. Very calm and clear manner of explaining stuff, too! I’m subscribing :) greetings from a newbie bullet planner!

[@suzisaintjames]

Take one of those slips of journal pages that you cut out and make a bujo ruler. Just number the dots or spaces (which ever your brain works) and next time you do a layout you won't have to count! 💝☀🌵

[@bandlover3890]

21:30 I bet it had been said already but if you simply buy a metric ruler with centimeters you won't have to count any dots as they are usually 0.5 centimeters apart. I know especially Americans find it very confusing switching back and forth between inches and centimeters but once when you get used to them it's so helpful when bullet journaling

[@LG-rk3yw]

Maybe you can keep the next week and notes boxes and if you don’t use them by the end of the week put what your hopes/intentions are for next week and just a little note on the past week in those sections respectively.

[@JWHoadley77]

A Michigan fan? I don't know your husband and I like him already. My wife and I were just in Michigan last month to see my family. (We are in Texas now.) Just looking at ideas on the basic Bullet Journal as I consider leaving the Franklin Planner after about 30-years for something more flexible and effective. New to your page too. I think I saw you first on Goulet Pens!?!

[@FreckledPapaya]

for the tabs if you cut little triangles in it might be a sturdier if you find the tabs are tearing. you can either have one less cutout in each subsequent page, or you can have them all have the same number of cutouts except the one in their "spot" so you can flip to the others from any page. ps your laugh is awesome

[@Blove0130]

Love your videos!!! Please make a hello 2020 printable, I printed out the one for 2019 and put in my Hobonichi and loved the inspiration along with all your printables. Thanks so much for all you do!!!

[@KristinGasser]

Thank you so much for this video! This is by far my favourite set up of "hundreds" of bullet journal set up videos I have seen. I defenately will try it out. I´d only like to have more space for the focus or even a weekly focus. and I wonder, if you have any dailies coming after this monthly/weekly set up... (sorry, I´m a fresh beginner and just started last month and I just discoverd your channel after reading Ryder Carrols Book)!

[@athomewithjenny]

I love this! I'm doing this for 2020!

[@johannasirkka349]

loved your video. Much better with out the music :)

[@ellewoods8246]

LOVE the nails!

[@simmile100]

Yay! Another plan with me. 😍

[@rkn00nkr]

Did you know that if you use a ruler with centimeters, you don't have to count dots but can simply do the math because your dots have a 5mm ruling and 10mm are 1cm. It's so much easier!

[@SasssyRita]

Loved this, thank you.........do you get the full year in this journal? If not how many months?

[@heathergehrke9160]

Will you be doing a December Plan With Me?

[@jessicaroberts3665]

Love this! Go Gators 🐊 💙🧡

[@lauraanderson8127]

You could use the blank space above the first tab to write the 4-10 since you'll see that when you're on that page, and work your way down, the opposite of how you did the heart on the actual page for the gratitude page. I know you already finished it, but maybe for next time.

[@Bohoberryshop]

That makes sense! Thanks! 🥰

[@realisticequestrian8229]

I tried your Dutch door style last month too. I won't be doing it again. I HATED not having enough room. 🤣

[@SCJ7100]

Could you use that double-sided sticky tape to stick all the habit tracker tabs to each other, so that you don't need to do any cutting near the spine of your book (there would just be one horizontal cut on each weekly page)? Or would that make the final page, where the tabs are all stuck down, too thick and awkward? (ETA: my hand is not as steady as yours and I am worried I will nick the spine and loosen the pages.) I am new to bullet journaling and am so glad to have found your channel! Your videos are great.. thanks for your time and expertise 💖

[@Bohoberryshop]

Not a bad idea! I do wonder if the tracker section would feel super thick, but it would definitely prevent the gaps in my journal edges as I move on.... thanks for the food for thought! I might try that next month! 💕

[@buzzyanderson4131]

I miss Kara!

[@zormier2002]

In my opinion a bulletjournal is whatever you want it to be.

[@suzisaintjames]

Ok. Let's talk about your notes and next week... If you eliminate those boxes, what would you put there? Gratitude? Because you could put next week and notes at the bottom of tasks. 💝☀🌵

[@janinechansons]

Maybe move your next week and notes to the bottom of your task page?

[@katehartridge8773]

Also in the video Kara you shared that you had a lot on in November. Where do you record all that info before November arrives- as it sounds like a lot to remember?

[@VickyCarterR]

You mentioned shin splints - have you tried a running shoe with a 0 foot fall? I used to suffer from them terribly and it always put me off running then someone suggested I change my running shoes to completely flat ones with no support. It totally worked for me and I completed my first marathon last month. Hope this helps!

[@Bohoberryshop]

I have tried 0 drop shoes and unfortunately they are what lead to my injury on the Appalachian Trail earlier this year 😢. I'm currently wearing custom orthotics from my podiatrist, so we'll see how it goes! 💜

[@bikkjehuset9815]

Love the dutch door. For some asskicking inspiration on your fitnessgoals you should check out David Goggins book Can't hurt me on Audible. Almost done listening to it now I think you will love it. Good luck on the NaNoWriMo

[@zoebolton-taylor5081]

What if instead of two separate boxes for notes and next week, you just have them in one? Because surely if it's part of your schedule, the event can go on your calendar rather than a box, where as if it's a task to do next week it could be classed as a note for next week? If that makes any sense what so ever!! I loved this video btw, makes me want to get back into bullet journaling but I can spend hours on creating the spreads and never end up using them:( xx

[@Bohoberryshop]

Love those ideas, Zoe! Thank you! 💜

[@Mrsadams1]

Yay! You know, I’ve been watching your Plan With Me videos for a few years now, and I still just love them. Also, this red/pink color with the gray looks really sharp. What a pretty design for the month. I have 2 kind of questions. Do you still do digital planning for anything? (I’m paper, myself, but just wondering) And then, do you still use fountain pens? (Follow up: is the ink stain on the inside of your pencil case recent? I think it actually looks kind of cool. What ink was it?). 😊

[@Bohoberryshop]

Thanks so much! I do keep a few digital journals still but they're more for breaking down big projects and journaling... not so much for planning 💜 And yes, I still use fountain pens in my long-form journaling and letter-writing mostly... and the ink stain is a bit old, but I'm pretty sure it's Iroshizuku Ku Jaku 💙

22:03 But you only need 4 weeks. Doesn’t that mean you need 4 tabs not 5?

[@The214thRabidFangirl]

She was including a tab for her monthly review

[@erin723]

I have SOOO much anxiety watching you cut the tabs!!!!

[@bunniphish]

If you remove the notes section completely, and end up using your task space completely, you could always attach a notes flap with washi tape. You could put it to the right of the tasks, and you could use the part of the page you cut off to make the Dutch door to make the flap. Love the modifications you made to your system for this month's set up. I am going to shamelessly copy it for my November :) *Several hours later* I cut my tabs, and I decided to write the week I am looking at on the "backs" of the tabs, rather than the previous week. Of course I decided that after I wrote the weeks the way you did on all the tabs ha. How are you handling page numbers?

[@bunniphish]

Also, since you consistently set up your weekday spread the same way, couldn't you set up that portion of the month all at once and do away with the "next week" box except for the last week of the month? I know you like to be able to change up layouts, but at most you would only be committing to a layout for five weeks, and you already know you like this one.

[@mzbrayzn7404]

Why paste the short page when you could draw it in

[@Lilly-uy2pb]

I used to watch all your videos, but 2019 really messed up my schedule. I'm glad to be back and seeing how you're doing. I like the dutch door concept, but it would be too much for me to implement right now. I also love the way you do your task list - I think I'll try that out. Also - if you want to hear the pronunciation of the Tombow Fudenosuke, watch this JetPens video and go to the 1:00 mark: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5vVeWeCmbWSpJI

[@justalurkr]

Gators and Wolverines? Y'all have some serious predation going on. :D Edited to add: there's no such thing as an excessive ruler. Edited to add: differing opinions? Isn't a bullet journal *exactly* what you make of it? Like, that's the whole point?

[@elealion1469]

I know I'm commenting a 1 yo video, but maybe someone else has the dilemma with the notes section (whether to have it or not). Why not keep a few cute post its at the back of the notebook for the occasion you really need to jot something down and use it on such occasions only? You can then put them in any week you need and if you do not like how the spread looks like with it, just get rid of it once it's not necessary. I think it is a waste to keep preparing a notes section if you hardly ever use it. With post its you can move them around without any damage to your journal. IDK, I'm just a really big fan of post it notes and sometimes I feel they're a bit underrated.
