Hi friends — in this video I’m finally back (thank you for being patient with me while life has been life-ing). I’ve been in a bit of a funk with my journals, but I’m feeling refreshed and really excited to share my 2026 journal lineup. This is a cozy, chatty “grab your favorite drink” kind of video where I walk you through what’s staying in my system, what’s changing, and why I’m choosing each notebook for the year ahead. I talk through my Hobonichi plans (including the Cousin and A6), how I’m thinking about structure vs. flexibility, and where I want my planning to live versus where I want my memory-keeping and creative journaling to live. I also share some new additions I’m genuinely excited about — like building out a personal curriculum space and finally starting a gaming journal (yes, it’s happening). If you’re trying to reset your journaling routine after a slump, my biggest takeaway is to keep the lineup supportive and cozy: pick tools you’ll actually reach for, and let your system evolve with you.
