WHO AM I?
I’m Alecia Lott, a Blerd with ADHD living in Cincinnati, Ohio. I make videos that explore how to use bullet journaling (journaling / planning in a dotted notebook) to encourage and document growth and achievement, along with "regular" journaling to examine emotions and aspirations.
Uh, why are you still reading this?? Go write in your journal.

[@forkyfork]

I love your content. It's such a breath of fresh air to see some REAL planning in one simple planner. Don't feel obligated to change or become more aesthetic just because the algorithm says so.

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you fren!! Yeah screw the algorithm! (Jk I do want more subscribers lol please algorithm I'm sorry) But nah, all the aesthetic stuff isn't for me, I just admire from afar. I'll keep it simple, I promise! THANK YOU for watching and for the support 😍✨

[@forkyfork]

@@AleciaLott Bhahaha I laughed at your algorithm comment. I do like adding the journaling prompts and I'm always happy to see your smiling face. I'd also love to see a flip through of a previous journal and see what worked for you?

[@AleciaLott]

@forkyfork Journal flip-throughs!! Yas I love them, thank you. I will do one soon. I like seeing my handwriting from back in the day with the little circles over the i's - did you do that? 😂

[@forkyfork]

@@AleciaLott I did!! That brings me back. And those crazy S's we always doodled too

[@JR-_-2010]

What do you want? - great question to ask. I think I am going to do this in my daily pages each day. I'm still doing my weekly intentions which is great. I quite like the channel the way it is. But I'm happy to move in whatever direction you would like. You have my support either way. Keep up the great work. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you so much, JR!! For some reason that simple question shakes me up, because I do so much stuff that I *don't* want (or that will ultimately lead me to something I don't want) but I'm not fully paying attention. Anyway, your support has meant the world to me and I'm always so pleased to hear your thoughts. I may make some minor tweaks here and there but I'm still ready to plan with you every week ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@happinessisfree2128]

Thanks this was super helpful to watch :)

[@AleciaLott]

Yas I'm glad you liked it!! I want to make more like that. Thank you and hope you are having a good week so far!

[@nzpetigny]

Girllll i love everything you post! Keep doing you! We are here to love and support your vision ❤

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you so much lady!! Aw I'm so glad you like the videos and that you see the vision 😍✨

[@NAVillalobos]

Gracias por un nuevo video. Me encanta planear mi semana contigo. Ten una gran semana.

[@AleciaLott]

Hola Néstor!! Me encantan tus saludos y comentarios. Espero que tu semana esté llena de posibilidades. ¡Gracias por ver mi vídeo! 🤗

[@hazel75877]

i just found ur channel omg please keep posting i was so sick of those tiktok journals

[@AleciaLott]

Aw thank you Hazel!! YAY I’m glad you’re here 🥰 I’ll keep posting, stay tuned lady!

[@nzpetigny]

Would also to hear you talk about how you org projects, how you review how your projects are going, and how you support your mental health with planning/journaling ❤

[@AleciaLott]

THIS would be awesome actually!! 💗 Both great ideas. Thank you, I'll just be making some notes over here...

[@MaggiFuchs]

I love your weekly planning videos and how your lovely personality comes through, so for me, you don‘t need to change anything. I also plan weekly and keep things simple and messy, so I consider you my weekly planning buddy. 😅 And I would be interested in how you set goals & plan projects. All the best to you! 😊

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you so much, Maggi!! Aw I'm honored to be your planning buddy.💖 I'd love to do some more videos about planning and figuring out goals - I need to do more of that myself lol. It's on!! Have a great Friday lady!

[@seekinghappy]

So many of the things you say are making me laugh so much. I can tell this is a channel I’m really going to enjoy watching. The new pens, you fanning yourself, not worrying about lines but kind of worrying, you’re just so much fun!

[@AleciaLott]

Whew chile I'm such a neurotic sweaty mess sometimes!! 😂😂😂😂 But journaling is my joy and happiness 💗✨

[@DaarinaAC632]

What lights me up? Alecia Lott and her spreads!

[@AleciaLott]

YEAHHHHHHHHHHH 🌟🌟🌟 Thank you Daarina!!! 🌼

[@beingamultifandomstanisnteasy]

You're so sweet 😭😭 your channel gives fireplace in winter vibes ❤

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you so much fren!! 💜That is very kind of you to say 😭

[@PlannerGirlLifestyle]

Just subbed 😊I’m a planner girl with AdHd too

[@AleciaLott]

Planning and scheming together, I love it!! Thank you for watching and subbing fren. I'm a new sub of yours now too! I'm thinking about doing more ADHD-focused videos, is there anything you would like to see? Sending you a hug, have a good week 🤗

[@Agnesii]

I love your prompts and questions you ask at the beginning of each video. I also love your voice, it's so cheerful but relaxing at the same time :) And the way you journal is very minimal, yet pretty and practical. Keep up the great work and just be you, I think we just enjoy seeing you as a person :)

[@AleciaLott]

@Agnesii Why are you making me cryyyy? 😭 I'm so happy you like the videos!! I'll keep it up, with just with a few lil tweaks here and there. Thank you for the love, I'm all shy now but you made my day 💜

[@tcoleman307]

I appreciate your weekly spreads. I am working on not planner hoping (a chronic problem of mine) and am inspired by your consistency. As for other ideas... Maybe a long term goal planning session? Only if that works for you. Have a wonderful week.

[@AleciaLott]

Hi T! Aw thank you, I'm glad you like them. I've enjoyed having you here!! Long-term goal planning still eludes me, I have a little voice that says I'll just change my mind later so why bother 😭 but who the F would care if I did? lol Anyway, I'm confident that you'll find the right planner ("home") and I'm happy to hang here with you 💗

[@amidst_the_grey]

Oh my goodness, you are such a delight! I'm so happy to have found your channel. 💜

[@AleciaLott]

Aww 😭 why thank you, well that comment was delightful 💜💜💜 Thank you for visiting!!

[@nicksturgeonbooks]

Always great to see your planning layout / weekly set up. I loved the phrase that was not cat sit! 😂 Perhaps you can do a book review now and then, like you mention how you thought about the 'overlap' idea in this video?

[@AleciaLott]

Hi Nick! Thank you so much for watching, it's good to see you ✨💜 Whew sometimes my mouth says what it wants 😂 Aw man, and I'm sorry to James Clear if he's watching (ha)! I'll add the link about overlapping activities to the description box. I enjoy his work so much and would like to master this lol Hmm a book review sounds like a great idea, thank you! During the cats*t I read for hours, no TV aaahhh Anyway, I hope you have a great rest of your week fren!!

[@MicheleMaBelle67]

New subbie here! Glad I found you.

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you so much, Michele!! Glad you're here 💜

[@robertwilson1827]

What are some quality free apps to use, please??

[@AleciaLott]

Hi Robert! Do you mean journaling apps? I'm not the best person to ask about that unfortunately, but I hear there are great apps out there! Good luck! 💜

[@PriscaBosq]

Hello Alecia! hope you are well! I do really like your videos as they are: simple, well explained, and there's everytime a new subject to think about!🤓 For us it's a routine to see you there, but for you it must be a big journey to make videos about journaling... people never realise that it's a lot of work behind the scenes. So whatever way you want to evolve with your channel will be ok to me: just enjoy the process of being yourself in everything you do, without pressure nor influence. i don't have ideas right now for making videos, but I have a question: What helps to keep you being consistent in your journal?💥 Hope your week is going as well as mine! ✨Greetins from here!✨

[@AleciaLott]

Hi Prisca!! I'm glad you're having a great week, it's always great to hear from you! 😍 Yeahhh sometimes I compare my videos to other people's and say "dang, should I do that instead?" But at the same time, I'm happy that I haven't pressured myself to do more than I could handle because I would have burned out and stopped altogether. You're right, I need to relax and enjoy the process. 💥 Your question though!! Agggh! I'll go in-depth in a future video (yas!!) but constraints have helped a ton, probably more than anything else. "I'm only going to write for 15 minutes" or "I'm only going to write 1/2 a page." When I was younger I thought I had to write all these long detailed stories so I did, but then I wouldn't write again for days or weeks. No bueno! I have to play mind-games with myself lol Thank you for the inspiration and support as always - you are a gem and I hope the rest of your week is beautiful 💎

[@AleciaLott]

Gurl check out the new videoooooooo

[@seekinghappy]

This is my first time watching you, but I’m disappointed to hear you’re not usually in front of the camera. Your vibe and personality are amazing. I’m sure people wouldn’t mind seeing more of you.

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you for watching 💜 Yeah I was shy (and lazy) for a while but I've snapped out of it. No more faceless videos!!

[@janetk9790]

New subbie. I'm ADHD. Look fwd to watching your videos .

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you so much, Janet!! Glad you like my videos. I'm thinking of making videos just for my ADHD peeps, so if there's anything you'd like to see please let me know! Have a good week ✨💗

[@jelisajayrobinson7283]

I love this type of layout!

[@AleciaLott]

Ahh I’m so glad you like it! I learned it’s similar to the Alastair method, please Google it if you feel like geeking out 🤩 Thank you for watching!

[@pressedpanini]

In a recent video you were sharing ideas you learned from Les Brown which lead me to listening to him. I enjoy those moments when you elaborate the things you learn in the week its very insightful.

[@AleciaLott]

Aw thank you for watching, that's a great idea! Les Brown is one of the great comforting and inspiring men in my life, like LeVar Burton and Mr. Rogers (I didn't know I had a list lol) You're so right, I should share more nuggets of wisdom from people I like. 😍

[@pressedpanini]

@@AleciaLott Oh me too!!! i have been watching reading rainbow again and mr rodgers is streaming 24/7 on pluto tv now. my comfort background show now, its so peaceful.

[@AleciaLott]

Ahhh that must be so soothing... dang I may have to do that. I was talking to a friend from Mexico and he mentioned the Tom Hanks biopic about Mr. Rogers. As soon as I thought about Mr. Rogers I made a face, similar to the face you make when you see a cute baby. He said, "Everyone from the U.S. makes that same face when they talk about Mr. Rogers!" LOLOLOL 🥰🥰🥰 Love him!!

[@LinSchalken]

I'm only five minutes into this video but I love your personality so much! Also amazing questions to ask for journalling :o Instant subscribe en on my way to binge everything :D

It would've been cheaper and less wasteful to buy refills...

You can call it “A Free Spirit Journal “

Hello! New sub here. Possibly ADHD. Interested in minimalism and planning. I love your fun loving personality!

[@adelagarcia6416]

Hat's off to you, Gen X, from this Boomer! @forkyfork's comments are totally correct. You are authentic and wise. Follow YOUR heart and your channel will remain true and fresh! I found this video very worthwhile, so I looked at your videos a little more closely - - and subscribed. :) ♥

[@AleciaLott]

Adela, it is a pleasure to "meet" you! I appreciate what you wrote and am just trying to hold it together over here 😭 Welcome to my channel lady! Have a great week 💜💗💜💗

[@AleciaLott]

Adela, I'm so sorry I hadn't replied to this lovely comment, agh! Thank you so much for the encouragement, it gave me a little spark of happiness. 💜 Yas, Boomers and Gen-X'ers UNITE! I hope to make more videos like this one. Thank you for subscribing too! Happy Tuesday to you my dear!

[@seekinghappy]

I love your intention.❤

[@AleciaLott]

That intention WORKED!! I'm not really into manifestation and the more "woo woo" stuff but reading that aloud at least put me on the right path for the week. Try ittttt

* new subbie *

[@AleciaLott]

Welcome fren!! 💜😍

[@daniellethompson681]

I love your weekly plans and your journal prompts , Alecia. It's nice to be reminded and prompted to journal. Im not great at it. A lot of thoughts just roam in my head in a circular motion, often not cleared or let go of. Asking What Do You Want is a powerful motivator as is an intention for the week. Do your intentions turn into goals and milestones? This was a great thought-provoking video. Thank you 🙏

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you Danielle! 💜 Hm, the intention is kinda random, usually more related to behavior, like "what kind of person would I like to be this week?" lol (Hey is that a journaling prompt?? Bloop!) Anyway, I hope that journaling will help lessen the swirling thoughts, uff I know those well. Keep writing and figuring out the WHYs and HOWs. I'm here for you. 💜

[@daniellethompson681]

@AleciaLott - I think that is a fantastic journalling prompt! 🤔💜 You have me considering already. Now, to journal! Your words " keep writing and figuring out the why's and how's" help already, and I look forward to future videos from you, Alecia 🙏 Thank you. Know you are creating motivating content 💜

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you so much, Danielle! I'm not crying! 😭 Thank you for the support 💜 Go journal, lady!!

[@Mazadepizza]

Love your handwriting!

Aw thank you lady!! 💜✍🏾
