Winter Studying Challenge

4th January: What is the most important things that’s going to happen to you this year? - I would have to say graduating with a Masters Degree!

5th January: Would you rather live in a world where it’s always winter or always summer? - Both could be equally eerie! I think I would prefer always summer because I miss reading and doing yoga outside, but I love the chill in the air sometimes. Autumn is my favourite season.

My first trip to Kinokuniya NYC. How is it possible that I’ve been living in this city for 6 years and I’m just now coming to this store? Your guess is as good as mine. I spent enough to cover the membership fee and then some… partly due to that Prince of Tennis book I got. I used to be obsessed with the anime… guess I still am lol.

Hello there! Happy 2021, I hope your new year is starting off a bit better than our 2020! I come to share with you my 2021 journaling and planner system for the year. I had already made a whole video about what i was planning on using but there has been some minor changes and i wanted to write a post about it.

My main notebooks are both my Standard (in Olive) and Passport (in Camel) Traveler’s Notebook with planner inserts in them.

After about two years, I came with the conclusion that I prefer to journal in planner inserts than on blank or lined ones. In my Olive, I have a monthly insert where i like to write a small sentence or a word that describes what i did that day. It’s my form of memory keeping without having to write out a whole paragraph. I also just love to decorate it with stickers and pictures. In addition, I like to use the vertical weekly layout to write out what i do in my day as well, but this time, it is a whole paragraph. It’s come to be my favorite insert for memory keeping and for daily journaling in general. The space is very restricted but it’s still very fun for me to play in it. I love how i can still decorate as much or as little as i want and the end result is always so satisfying to see— if you like full written pages!

As for my Passport, in Camel, I also have a weekly and a monthly. They both serve the exact same purpose as my Standard but it’s a smaller size. The reason why they do the same thing is just for fun and it allows me to use up all of my stickers and stationery. Though, my monthly does mix with functional planning as well (I list important dates and bills) and i have been loving it so far. This is also my first time using the passport size weekly insert and i didn’t think i would love it as much as i do. It’s super convenient for me to just write a short sentence of whatever i think is important to remember and then call it a day. I love how easy my Passport Traveler’s Notebook is to carry around with me and it fits in my purse perfectly, that’s why i chose to journal in it as well.

Most of my journaling is personal and i only post close-ups of that in my ko-fi page, everyone is welcome to take a peek there.

For creative journaling, I picked my Brown Passport to hold my mixed paper journals. I am currently in an all black insert and i like to use a white pen to write in and also just collage paper pieces to my liking. I don’t plan on journaling like this full time, only when i feel creative or inspired. I find it very difficult to come up with a layout, so i think this will only be used from time to time.

That completes my analogue system for 2021. I may be switching out notebooks throughout the year but my system will remain the same. I hope you guys found some inspiration in my journal lineup and i wish you guys a super good year! Thank you for reading this far!
