Hi, friends!

I hope you’re doing well. This week’s video is a flip-through and reflection on my planner and journal system for Q1 (Jan-Feb 2024). This video is on the longer side 😳 because I wanted to share some extra context on why my system changed so much compared to last year. I’ll also flip through my hobonichi cousin for the first time (disclaimer, including a lot of sticky notes to cover up sensitive information) because it is an essential part of my entire system, and I don't think I've given it enough love on my channel before!

I hope you enjoy this longer video, and I am open to feedback if you would prefer to see the flip-throughs or reflections split up into separate videos in the future. I’m so curious to know how your planner and journal system have been going for you this year; please let me know in the comments below! Thanks for being here; I appreciate you! 💗
