I definitely agree with take a break! I find my hobbies (i have adhd too) are cyclical, and sometimes I just need to move into something else for a little while. And then I decide to clean up and put away all the stuff from the previous thing i was doing (because it never happens immediately) and i get excited about it again. I have a constant list of projects that I'm in the middle of that I abandon because I went back to some other interest.

I love this video and all the ideas. I have been slowly journaling more and more in long form instead of my typical micro journaling and its feeling so nice.

I adore these ideas! ❤I too am a “reporter”. I’m a functional planner but my daily pages are literally just what I do from time up to time down and it includes two kiddos and my hubs ❤I do have a brand new stalogy I’m waiting to use and it’s driving me mad because I don’t know for what yet. I’m leaning towards a common place but not sure how to go about it yet. I kind of want to start it with just my current interests and so on..also want to include things going on in the world, new vocab words learning etc…I would love to be able to let go of wanting it organized though

I change my inks! Sometimes I get obsessed with a color and then use it until I literally cannot stand the idea of it coming out of my pen. 😂 Seeing your washi cards reminds me that I need to refill mine. I love all the cat washi! There's something so comfy about cats in your journal! The most useful for me is just pushing through. Exploring why I am feeling how I am and just using my journal to examine my own feelings. Really handy. Thanks for sharing! :)
