I went live (very last-minute, very unprepared, and honestly a bit shaky) just to see if I could actually do it—and I kind of can. While I figured out the comments and tried to get everything in frame, I started doing something simple and calming: sorting a big tub of stickers by colour and vibe (flowers, butterflies, “bits and bobs”) so it’s easier to actually use them when I sit down to build an October spread. The lighting wasn’t great, I was juggling my phone vs. tablet, and yes—there was kid noise in the background… but it was a proper real-life planning moment. As I sorted, I tested a few theme ideas and colour combos, especially purples and blues, and compared a couple of washi tape options (including a new butterfly set I think I grabbed from Amazon). I talked through how I’m trying to create a simple “formula” for making any bullet journal spread look nice using just washi tape, stickers, and a couple of pen colours you already like—because I don’t always have time to draw scenes like I used to. I also chatted about routines, cleaning being a nice little break, and how I’m a bit bored of doing Halloween spreads every year. The main takeaway: you don’t need a complicated setup—just pick a palette, test a few pieces together, and make it easy for Future You to sit down and create.
