Productive Weekend Vlog: planning, writing, reading, and nature reads_and_journals 2021-08-07 | The one thing that this pandemic has taught me is that a weekend at home can still be relaxing and productive. I love taking time to set up my planner for the next week, going for a walk, working on my story or even researching story structure. This weekend in particular, I had a lot of time to myself so I spent the day doing only things I loved and it was the perfect relaxing day that I needed. --I post regularly on instagram.

Favorite Bullet Journal Supplies reads_and_journals 2021-02-12 | Over the 5 years I've been bullet journaling, I've accumulated many supplies whether I bought them or received them as gifts from family.

2021 Planner & Reading Journal Flip Through | Always Fully Booked (Vertical) reads_and_journals 2020-12-29 | [Vertical Layout] This year I wanted to try this planner from Little Inklings Design's shop! It has all of the reading spreads I usually create for myself, plus monthly calendars and vertical weekly spreads. I went with the vertical layout edition, but there is a horizontal option as well. There are some blank dot grid and lined pages through out so I wanted to share the way I've customized this planner/journal to be most effective for my needs and goals.*Note: I saw the shop owner post on Instagram that these planners are already out of stock until next year, but she does sell The Novel Companion all year round and that has the same reading trackers (it doesn't have the monthly/weekly spreads you see in this video). **Little Inklings Design**Website: littleinklings.caInstagram: instagram.com/littleinklingsdesignYouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCwh3q7CC8rRWgKmXRBuOcdw?view_as=subscriber--I post regularly on instagram.
