I really like “I completely changed things” followed by “and I just changed back” posts because it feels SUPER validating – like, it’s fine, I can do what I want on planner/journal design and management, and I can change my mind! I wish I wasn’t constantly feeling like I “shouldn’t” make completely okay arbitrary decisions about my own hobbies, but I do, and I appreciate being reminded that duh, yes I can.
and of course I super love all the details about pen choice and stickers and layout, so that’s all just icing on the cake. Thank you for keeping posting these, I love them!
We always feel constrained by what we think others might say (this is the collective we and by we I mean “me”). Let me be your “other” and say “oh, cool! you’re mixing it up! and then mixing it back! you go!”
