In this Journal With Me, I’m not just showing you the finished spread—I’m walking you through the actual thought process I use to decide what to draw in my Traveler’s Notebook Passport Weekly. I start with each day’s memory and ask myself what the “one clear picture” is that would instantly bring that moment back later. Instead of trying to illustrate the whole event (which gets complicated fast), I pick a simple, cute, drawable detail—like an object, a tiny scene, or a single symbol that carries the feeling of the day. I also share how I keep the week cohesive by narrowing my choices and making them fit the small passport-size space. This video pairs really nicely with my limited color palette weekly spread video, because once you’re choosing fewer colors, it becomes even more helpful to choose clearer, simpler subject matter. If you’re new to illustrated journaling (or you feel stuck because your life feels “too boring” or your memories feel “too big”), I hope this keeps you company and helps you build a repeatable process you can come back to every week.
