The problems I keep running into:
What do I write down?
Where do I write it down?
Is digital or analog note taking better for me?

I’m continuing the “draw book cover” project for my reading journal. I must say I’m having a lot of fun doing that, I might just add other drawings related to the story to illustrate other pages.
I always have a notebook to take notes related to what I read, but it’s been a while since I took the time to decorate it.

As I start my vacation, this video appeared in my YouTube feed. I’ve been bullet journaling for years, but the five tips provided by Ryder in this video pointed out ways I can use my journal during and for my vacation which I hadn’t considered before.
Except for the stickers. I’m all in on the stickers.
Hobonichi users, how do you manage writing several pages a day?
I know I'm super early, but I'm considering getting a Hobonichi to journal. I already have a A5 notebook that's almost full, but I don't really go back to it (because it's a chore knowing what day it was for specific entries, although I might just not display it enough), and I'd spend weeks not writing at all for some reason. I think having a journal where the dates are pre-written might help.
The thing is, when I write entries, I tend to write several pages. Is there a way to "work around" this, or are Hobonichi just not for me?

Sometimes I use tarot cards as #journaling prompts, mostly because I found an absolutely stunning deck. Don’t they make a beautiful couple?

I Can't Journal
Every year, around this time, I try to start journaling. And every year, about this time, I fail. But, hey, at least I am consistent.

Learning to Practice Self-Care
How do I practice self care? A notebook and pen... mostly.

"I walk along the edge of a precipice, I count days and make notes. I do it in order to remember. Or I do it in order to hold the days together. Or perhaps I do it because the paper remembers what I say. As if I existed. As if someone were listening."
-Solvej Balle, "On the Calculation of Volume II."
It's been a bit since I made a new intro, but I'm just gonna hashtag some stuff I've gotten into in that past year or so. Boosts welcome, I'm a single user instance, so I don't have a lot of reach by myself.
