It's even Okey if you just use some random papers and staple it together.
If you want you can be creative and give those pages aesthetic vibes but it's all about to be and not to have.
Just a thought, unless you really really live that one specific journal i guess
Otherwise a simple journal/planner works as well. Because it all comes back to how you organize yourself
But if you’re just starting don’t risk the chances of leaving empty a pretty, expensive and new journal
Same for a planner, when you are a busy person I would definitely spend more money on a planner. That way it good organized so you won’t have to mis a thing, and even have some time for yourself.
Normally the more expensive items are just made with higher quality materials for them to last longer, yet they are super simple in design. Where as the “funner” journals and planners may be more budget friendly to accommodate the masses who will count on these tools.
Determine your goals and purpose and try out a few to see what the “perfect” fit for you is.
I will be kind to myself and others. I will do my very best
That’s itt ✨
Pro tip: getting a journal or planner that you like and is cute is one of the best ways to be consistent in journaling or planning in my opinion!!
Much love! MJ💕
It would be a motivator to know that you spend a lot in it so you juste have to use it to compensate
Good luck, stay creative!
after I had the twins I was left with what my midwife gf called a matrons apron. basically the tummy hangs. I had a c section. but I also know at the Tim I managed through body sculpting to get rid of it so I know it is possible. but its weighing up weather it's worth you time and effort. I learnt the shape of my body made no difference to how I was treated by my then partner so.. it is what it is. protein rich breakfast ? what do you fancy? I've just had five baklava and a black coffee. that's fairly protein Rick 😏
I really don't think an expensive journal is needed
Cause what is needed is pages to be filled
With yr planning
And anything you want to put on paper
So even if you take a small diary or even some pages
It will do the work
•It is much nicer to write something that we like.
•We can make a small gift for ourselves. You can buy a new journal after one week streak of writing, it can be motivational…
You will always be on track..
Keep you disciplined…
Buying a journal is not something I thought I could ever do, but I have kept a journal before. I missed days sometimes, but I surprisingly developed a habit of writing in it most nights. Now I have the Fabulous app. I’m not great about writing every night because I’m so tired, and the same questions get tiring.
A journal is only as good as you see it being.
However, I’d say keeping it simple, and try to figure out what the benefits of the journal would be to you specifically, is important too.
I dont see why it has to be expensive but if that is important to someone else – Why not. 🙂
Hope this helps 👍
But if you can’t afford it so I’m sure that you’re going to turn it to the most important one that you have ever had if you’re into journaling
So don't hesitate, choose a nice compact motivating one and rock the year
Coming back to the question, you already have fabulous journal 📓, what else could you ask for .
But if its expensive, I would get the waterproof/Field Notes combined one.
then it would be worth the money to purchase it. It can be inviting and that's the most important. Getting the energy to write because the book itself is gorgeous. I don't see any problems with that.
i rather write in a journal that looks beautiful and is comfortable, can’t really explain but yeah
I think planners are a little more tricky. You should make sure they meet the criteria for a journal that I mentioned, but, since they already have a structure to them, make sure that’s something you like as well. If you get a planner that doesn’t have enough space or specificity for the things you’d like to write in it, you won’t use it for long.
In the words of Marie Kondo, make sure it “sparks joy.” If it does, it’s a good purchase and something you’ll keep and use for a while.
Good luck!
Once you’ve gotten into the habit of journaling or planning, it might be worth the investment! An expensive journal or planner can be really helpful, but I think it’s better to start slow, and only get an expensive one if you personally think it’s worth it and will be beneficial.
Perhaps having each page still sealed together, and the purchaser will need to use a letter opener to reveal the treasure of wisdom or writing prompt or adventure to experience I know I would absolutely purchase something like that.
I don’t think an expensive journal is a necessity, unless you personally like journaling in a high quality journal. It’s up to you and your habits!
