Thank you for this! I've been at it for almost a month now and have been trying out different layouts, lists and ways of recordkeeping. I've wanted to get into journaling for a long time but was scared to start and making mistakes. You made it feel like it wasn't an obstacle to overcome but rather a fun system to sort the chaos in the brain. I have autism and ADD and it's a big struggle to try to balance the whirlwind in the brain and the very low energy that comes from constantly being overwhelmed while not allowing myself to rest when I really should.

I grabbed two notebooks I've had for many years and just started with basic pens and a ruler. Then I wanted colour and added some coloured pencils (tried markers but they bleed through the paper). Then I started cutting out fun stuff from some free newspapers to add as stickers.

After a bunch of research of monthly layouts I decided to try one with "French doors" (I think it's called...), as I previously split up my tasks in weeks rather than daily or monthly. I was inspired from one of JashiiCorrin's videos on YouTube, and I'm really pleased with the feeling of it. It really brings me joy to see it every time I pass it, and I look forward to check stuff off the trackers and fill it with more things.

 

Thank you again for bringing me this joy!
