I have ADHD and I used to get so overwhelmed with mood trackers. I just felt like I couldn’t really pinpoint my mood for the day cause I would feel so many different emotions and then when I went to fill out the tracker I would just feel overwhelmed trying to decide what to put. Now what I do is I only keep track of days where I am anxious or depressed. It feels less overwhelming when I do this instead of a standard mood tracker :)

[@Jojournals90]

This is a good idea, I think just tracking the key things instead of everything makes sense. Thank you for this! X

[@torionpaper]

I’m so happy you are still loving your books! It’s such a good feeling when you are having a great time and you don’t have that “itch” to look elsewhere. Hope you have a great week!

[@Jojournals90]

Thank you! It is such a calming feeling when you are settled. I am so pleased to have made it here. I hope it lasts. Have a lovely week! Xx

[@kj.mclean]

I am so excited that you and The Common Corner are going to meet! I wish I could be there. Alas, there's a little obstacle called the Atlantic Ocean in the way. Can't wait to hear all about it from both of you!

[@Jojournals90]

Ahhh me too! The Atlantic Ocean is a good reason to sit this festival, I can’t blame you 😅 can’t wait to meet her and hopefully more like minded stationery people.

[@annettefertitta6868]

Same here that darned ocean gets in the way!

[@kj.mclean]

@@annettefertitta6868We shall pout in solidarity!

I love my Cousin! But I'm in a funk and changing things (layouts, placement, colors, pens, highlighters, a lot). When I take pictures of my pages to share I throw some washi tape over things I don't want to share. Those include money amounts, items I've purchased and want to write about but it's for me only, some strong vents, anything I hold dear. Washi comes off super easy for me. I mostly only share with a few family members who may get into planners. I've seen sticky notes added to pages from other content creators.

[@Jojournals90]

Oh washi is such a good idea. I have a notebook for “the bad vibes” where they go never to be read again (even by me) but sometimes there are things that people probably think are weird. But I think we should all be weird in our notebooks. I’m sure you will get out of your funk soon, nothing wrong with some blank pages here and there. Xx

[@theanalognights]

So excited to see your Cousin! I hope it works out for you, the Hobonichi Cousin is my favorite go-to ❤

[@Jojournals90]

Thank you! I will be sharing lots of it in the upcoming weeks 😍

[@themazeballet]

I'm in LOVE with that moomin cover.

[@Jojournals90]

It’s beautiful isn’t it. I’m starting to get really worried about the design coming off though. Even though I know that’s just part of the TN charm.

[@LovetheWord311]

Yay! Enjoy for as long as you can ....glad it's working right now. Having planner peace, even for a season, is a wonderful feeling!❤

[@Jojournals90]

Thank you! It really is a nice feeling. X

[@annettefertitta6868]

Decision fatigue- perfect description! I have ADHD. I’m easily overwhelmed by massive to do lists; sometimes even what to cook, etc. I think I get stuck in indecision

[@Jojournals90]

Oh I’m the same on the massive to do list thing. Anymore than x3 items and nothing gets done 🤣

[@LivCre8ively]

this was fun, thanks, made it to the end 😃

[@Jojournals90]

Thank you! And congratulations getting to the end! 🥳

[@kooknhakn]

Looks so great and so glad you like my videos 🖤 absolutely intend to make more (the second i have a moment!) Have an awesome summer and may it fluff beautifully!!!

[@Jojournals90]

Thank you!! Oh I am so excited for more videos (when you have the moment of course ❤️) have a wonderful summer xx

[@Easypeasypumpkin]

i track overstimulation/understimulation instead of mood, ive found it more effective, though I have Alexithymia so im crap with knowing what im feeling lol

[@Jojournals90]

Ooh, that’s a good thing to track. Tracking mood is so hard.

[@cwalsh4992]

Mood trackers are too vague I think. It's much easier and makes more sense to track the things that you actually want to know the results of (I hope that makes sense!). Make it specific to you and your needs 💖

[@Jojournals90]

100% agree. There is part of me that thinks that I just don’t need it.

[@zoecampton1513]

I’ll be at Stationery Fest! Coming down from Glasgow for the day so also get the fun of UK trains 😅

[@Jojournals90]

Ahh amazing! (For the festival not the trains of course) I’m hoping as it’s pride that everyone will be coming to London not leaving london. 🤞🏻 hope to see you there! X

[@strictlyrumoured2881]

I love the cousin.

[@Jojournals90]

It just does it all 😌

[@LifeByDenise]

Could you tell me about your TN. I love the vibe.

[@annettefertitta6868]

Did you have to cut into the cover to put the pencil board in?

[@Jojournals90]

I cut the cover on cover (wouldn’t dare cut the actual cover 🙈) the cover on cover is a bit more easily replaced. X

[@annettefertitta6868]

@@Jojournals90 very much so

[@yesimthatlisa]

I always cut the loops off - I love the covers but really don’t like or need the loops.

[@Jojournals90]

Oh I’m glad I’m not the only one! 100% elevated my love for the cover.

[@TheCommonCorner]

Ah Jo! (I take full responsibility for this~ we are indeed now even…) We are both in the same boat with being very much so emotionally attached to my Jan-June Avec 😭❤️‍🩹 You get me! But hey I’m so excited for you~ You’ve gotten the Hobonichi flow and I’m so happy to see it! Enjoy🌟

[@Jojournals90]

Thank you!! It feels so good in this book I’m really surprised. I’m excited to see where it takes me in the upcoming months.
