Journal Hacking

I’m not sure if this will make sense to anyone else but I wanted to document something I’ve been trying lately with regards to planning/bujo/journaling type things. Even if only so I can go back and see what I did lol.

So I have been bullet journaling in some form on and off since 2014. So it’s been a minute. And while I like it on the whole, it’s just not been working out for me lately. I tried a Hobonichi weeks mega and while I really like some aspects it’s just not enough room for me. My handwriting is not that small.

I ran across a simplified GTD-like system called Ugmonk Analog and I liked the principles (even if I didn’t like the price tag) so I adapted it to my new journal.

Ugmonk’s Analog system has three cards - Today, Next, and Someday. I’m just using notecards I have for this. I put the Today card on my cover with washi tape so I can see it without opening my notebook and easily write things down (my pen is in the loop to the side there).

The Next and the Someday cards - along with some others are in the inside. I made the pocket by taping one of the notecards horizontally and taping the two outside sides.

The long bit of text on the inside cover is the Heart Sutra. I like to write it on notebooks I’ll be using regularly so I pause and reflect on it more regularly.

In addition to Next and Someday cards, I have a blank one for scratch paper and one with my ideal timelines for doing home and personal tasks. The personal side is lacking, I’m kind of in a state of transition on that so I’m unclear what I want to do regularly. The house stuff never happens all the way but I like knowing what I’d like to do when I’m adding tasks to my Today card.

I think my favorite part of this system is the memory keeping part. It’s not super elegant or pretty but on the pack of each today card, I record any notable things about the day on the top (period, mood, fights, symptoms) with a hashtag, the weather, and then I fill the card with what I did that day. It’s been very helpful so far for jogging my memory throughout the week. I like that I can pull them out and see as many as I’d like throughout the week. I plan on digitizing them at the end of the year and keeping the last year as a hard copy.

I keep the card in this little green box. Might decorate it soon.

I don’t really feel like sharing my finished cards so hopefully this gives you an idea. I like that I can see what happened in a day and what I got done on one card.

So yeah, I’m really liking it so far. I still do long form journaling (Morning Pages type things) in the notebook itself. I actually turn it so the short side is on the top and it’s kind of like writing on an A4 sheet of paper. I do that so I don’t start auto rereading old journal entries when I’m flipping through for other stuff. I index and thread anything that isn’t journal entries like I would a normal bullet journal. Right now I have some random notes for subject I’m studying, some pen and paper games I’m playing, and writing notes.

I’m also going to add either an A6 monthly calendar or print my own calendar set up to add to the back pocket for scheduling things in advance. I know everyone uses Google Calendar but I never check mine much. So people can schedule things with me on my Google Cal but my source of truth will be the hard copy.

Some resources I took inspiration from in setting all this up:

- OG Bullet Journal - I’m surprised by how many people I’ve met who don’t know that bullet journaling isn’t just making your own pretty planner but an actual system (no shade to the art journaling folks, I’m just not one of them). When I say I use bullet journaling, this is what I’m using. Check for some of his more recent videos if you like it, he’s updated it.

- Ugmonk Analog - slightly expanded to-do list system on paper; the product seems nice but they’ve actually been very supportive of people making their own knockoff versions for personal use which is cool to see

- Everbook - I think if I had more to juggle, I’d upgrade to something like this system. This guy has so many neat ideas sprinkled throughout the channel. He also really supports people making their own version. Love a good open source ethos.

Anyways - hope this helps someone!

2023 has been a mad year but it has also been the year I fell in love with Hobonichi.

I have been using my A6 as purely a memory keeping log or diary which I have been totally loving. The only thing is - this notebook is an April start and I did get a cousin to start in January - so I’m not sure how I’m going to use the January to March pages in the A6 but I’m sure I’ll think of something. Doing nothing and leaving the pages blank is not an option for me lol if there’s a space it MUST be filled. I’ll hopefully update you more about this in 2024.

I have also been obsessed with watching people’s videos on YouTube of flip throughs or talking about their Hobonichis. I think it’s because:

1. I’m living vicariously through people as I haven’t been able to work in my cousin properly yet .

2. I’m just a wee bit nosey.

I am so beyond excited to work out properly how I’m going to use my cousin going forward and I’m hoping to take you along with me so if you love journalling then PLEASE talk to me about it. Also please let me see your Hobonichis I can’t get enough honestly.

Hope you’ve had a great day x

December 15 - 17, 2023:

Elyu trip! Last beach trip for 2023. And elyu did not disappoint.

Bumyahe pa ko na masama ang pakiramdam, nang hawa kasi ng sipon sila mama at papa hahaha. Buti di nagkasakit ng deretso, namaos nga lang.

It was fun! First time naming lahat sa elyu. Halata namang lahat kami nag enjoy.

Day 1 - Pink outfit (day) & Black and White (night)

Free time lang namin, pag dating ng elyu, nag asikaso ng lunch, nag luto, kumain tapos natulog. Pag dating ng hapon dumeretso kami ng dagat para mag swimming. By 6 PM bumalik sa hotel para mag dinner, uminom ng kaunti, nag laro ng beer pong tapos nag bihis para lumabas mag bar hopping, pero isang bar lang ang napuntahan hahahahaha.

Day 2 - Green outfit (day) & blue (night)

7 AM nag tour lang kami, pagkauwi nag swimming kami sa pool. Same after that, lunch, dagat tapos surfing, then umuwi for dinner, di na kami uminom sa hotel, dumeretso kami ng bar hopping, potek nalasing ako. Ang ganda ni ate na nakasayaw ko sa bar jusko. Hello Cha! nakuha ko name niya pero di ko nakuha ig hahahaha. Pagkauwi nag inom pa ulit, pag-gising ko tuloy puro pasa ako di ko alam anyare hahahahaha.

Day 3 - Brown outfit

Uwian na! Dumaan lang kami sa bilihan ng mga pasalubong tapos deretso na ang byahe.

Sa uulitin ulit!

Last beach trip for 2023, next year naman ulet!

current techo kaigi

i’m currently using 4 journals consistently (+1 occasionally).

got my:

✅ hobo weeks

✅ memory journal (hon)

✅ jotter

✅ travellers notebook (books and languages)

and the occasional:

✅ t&p journal

t&p stands for thoughts and prayers. its where all that ranty, anger journalling goes. where my process journalling goes. where my depression journalling goes. and then sometimes when i’m seeking scripture where it goes. its also where gratitude goes.

basically its every unpretty thought but also the kind i don’t ever return to. i still need to write it down, i’m a healthier human when i do but i’m not sharing those thoughts with the world.

lol sometimes i even forget to dot my i’s and cross my t’s when i write in this journal i go so fast 🤣

but my favourite journal will always be my memory keeping one. i love flipping through it.

whats your favourite journal? is it pretty or unpretty?

could you walk us through what notebooks & journals & pens /etc you use - they look so good!

I would be SO happy to, you have no idea!!

Alright, let's fucking GOOOO~

Starting off with my current "workhorse" pens - I have like *checks notes* 36 fountain pens and a bit too many inked up atm, but these are just the ones I'm currently reaching for or have inked up more often than not:

TWSBI Go (F): Kinda ugly! But also kinda cute! It's cheap and works great (I friggin love TWSBI pens tbh) and it has a little hole on the cap where you can attach a lanyard or charms, like I did! Makes it cuter imo and it's kind of my emotional support pen these days.

Opus88 Pocket (EF): This 2022 edition has a little Moon tarot design on the cap so it's pretty much the pen I use exclusively for my witchy/tarot practice journals! A lil bummed the cap doesn't post, especially since its a shorter pocket-sized pen, but not a deal breaker and I still love it.

Pilot Custom 823 (F): My grail pen that I've literally coveted for years and just recently acquired at the DC Pen Show this weekend! It's only been a day but I think it could potentially become my favorite pen. Ever.

Pilot Prera (CM): This is my third Prera lol. I just think they're great and really underrated pens! Also a recent acquisition from the DC Pen Show and this cursive M nib is suuuuper fun to write with.

Pilot Vanishing Point (EF): My favorite pen for planning! Super fine-tipped for writing task lists and schedules and love that it's so convenient/quick-draw with the click mechanism.

(I'm totally a Pilot pen ho, can you tell? asdjflaglsg)

Journals/Planners/Notebooks under cut–

Sterling Ink B6 Common Planner: For a good chunk of this year, I was in this planner because I honestly love the size and all the layouts. Super practical and flexible as a system. 10/10 would go back. I've used it to plan, as a reading journal, as a tarot log...

But I get the itch to move around so it's been sitting a little unused since like June, oop.

Leuchtturm A6: I started craving something tiny and minimal so I've been bullet journaling in this pocket notebook for the last month or two and I'm really enjoying it!

Standard-sized Tomoe River Paper notebook: This is pretty consistent in that I don't change up the system itself, but I'm in and out of it for memory keeping/scrapbook journaling! It's almost always a Tomoe River paper notebook of SOME kind that I usually buy in A5 size to go to FedEx and get it cut down to standard. Though I'm thinking of getting a blank Midori MD A5 to have cut down next time - I've been liking the freedom of blank pages for journaling instead of anything lined or gridded.

I really need to catch up with it tbh, but I love sitting in an explosion of printed photos, stickers, and washi and going ham with the pages.

(I do have a flip through of my January-March 2022 pages on YouTube)

Midori MD Cotton B6 Slim: I also have this sketchbook that sorta turned into a visual sketch diary of sorts. I fell off a while ago but want to get back into it because it's super fun to work in and to look back on!

Wide-sized Cosmo Air Light notebook & A5 Filofax Malden: These are my tarot/witchy journals. Grimoires I guess? One is for journaling and all my messier notes while the other is more for reference and ease of organization.

A5 Leuchtturm: I didn't know if I should include this guy, but I've been writing it in a lot recently so I guess I will lol. This is like truuuly a miscellaneous™ notebook.

I got this A5 notebook back in 2017 to use as my very first bullet journal, then found out that this size is personally waaaay too big for me to use as a bullet journal so I hopped off of it pretty quick. It now sits on my desk because since it's mostly blank I'll just pick it up to use it to write literally A N Y T H I N G.

Most recently, I wrote like 5 pages in one night on notes for a fanfiction piece I was working on (I'm not a writer, this fic is never gonna see the light of day by anyone but me lololol. Hyperfixation is so wild; I've put 80k+ words within just 10 days into it so far and it's been hella therapeutic.)

That's all, I think!?

It's funny because I actually have a NEW notebook arriving tomorrow that I'm going to try out as a bujo/commonplace/omni journal of sorts?? I might write an update post after I've set that up and see how I like it <3

I just went through a lot of my old memories, stuff like photo's, report cards, and 'friend journals' which you'd have your friends and family fill in with basic information like favourite food and such. I've learned a few things:

If it doesn't have a date on it, put a date on it! Especially the year! Everything blurs together after a while and I have no idea what age I was when stuff happened and that's a shame when I'm trying to relate to kids (like my little nephew). For example, 8 and 14 year olds are basically the same to me now even though I know it wasn't when I was that age lol

Apparently I wanted to become a police officer at some point? I only remember wanting to become a surgeon as soon as I learned you'd get money and recognition for being smart that way. But thinking back on it, I probably wanted to be like our neighbourhood officer that would ride around on her bike and primarily give social support. They came to our primary school once to teach us about traffic rules and dealing with confused elderly/disabled people as part of their job and I thought that was pretty cool. Haven't seen police on bikes in a while though, so don't know if that's still a thing.

Everyone loves fries! It was universally included in the favourite foods of my friends and family. Dutch pancakes took second place and pizza third.

It's kind of sad to look back on the people and especially pets you've lost to time. But overall there's beauty in the challenges I've overcome and how much happier I am even though my body limits me more than ever.

Next up I plan to organise the photo's I've got on my various devices and finally find a good (privacy friendly) cloud storage solution. But that's a project for another time of year 😅
