In this video, I’m walking you through my 2025 journaling desk setup—how I’ve arranged my space to feel quiet, simple, and actually usable for daily planning and slow journaling. I’m not building a “content desk” with a PC setup here; I wanted a spot that supports intentional writing, easy pen access, and those small rituals that make me want to sit down and notice the season I’m in. I also share some new pens and do swatches so you can see how they behave on the page. I also get into the notebook that didn’t work for me: the B5 Stalogy. I know it’s a community favorite, so I wanted to be honest about what went wrong in my real routine and why it didn’t fit the way I journal. If you’ve been debating a Stalogy B5 (or you’ve felt weird for not loving a popular notebook), this is your permission slip to choose what supports your actual habits—not what’s trendy. I’ll leave you with a few practical takeaways for building a desk setup that makes journaling feel easy to return to.
