Photo dump: Jan-Mar 2025 journal

[halfcactus]

A bunch of badly taken photos (I really should learn how to take better ones!) of my journal from the first quarter of the year. I'm using an A5 Laconic planner with a little snake on the cover. :>

January

For some reason I slapped these on a paper background, idk???

February

March

I was so deep in my manhwa brainrot I didn't have the space to write about them and was already planning to get a Hobonichi for 2026 haha! It's evening out though because April has been a very empty month. I've temporarily moved back to my Field Notes to make my little lists (especially since I just had a bunch of little fandom projects spinning around in my brain and it was kind of driving me crazy) because I'd otherwise just be stuck in my head and bedrotting. I also just got a set of carbon ink refills for my Platinum Preppy, which was how I found out that the reason my writing was so thin and more prone to skipping was because I had been running out of ink this whole time? 😂

Yeah I unfortunately get discouraged when my journal is to same-y because I need visual stimulation. ^^; I have a friend who does a weekly bullet journal with her gaming to-do-list with just highlighters, a pen, and various stickers/washi tape and I wonder if that's something that would speak to you more haha

Oh, that's really cute! Thank you for sharing it :D

I gotta just figure out what my bujo is actually for, really, is the problem. I think too much of it is me duplicating what I already do in another arena (scheduling goes in my hand-brain, for example). but that's why each week can be a new thing, right?
