In this video, I’m sharing what 30 days of journaling actually looks like for me — not just the “these are the notebooks I’m using” moment at the start of the year, but the part people always ask about: how I used them, how often I updated them, and what I chose to document. I’m walking you through my Hobonichi Techo (my everyday journaling notebook), plus two side-by-side companions: a slim monthly overview notebook for weekly recaps, and my tiny A7 “hyperfixation log” where I keep track of whatever I’m currently obsessed with. For my daily pages, I’m showing how I backfill when I travel (hello, Barcelona), how I print photos (Canon QX20), and how I keep things visually cohesive without overcomplicating it. I’ll often start with a quick observation like “it was a very busy work from home day,” then list out what happened so I can see the day progress. I decorate minimally with washi/PET tape, tiny stickers, and ephemera like tea tags or museum flyers — basically, enough to make it feel like a little magazine of my life. Then I share my monthly/weekly recap approach (super low pressure, updated about once a week), and finally my hyperfixation notebook: brief media notes, screenshots/posters, date stamps, favorite songs/scenes, and mini monthly recaps. If you’ve been wanting journaling ideas that are realistic and flexible, this is the system that’s been keeping me on track (even when I’m not perfectly “daily”).
