Like a dandelion up through the pavement, I persist

I try to keep mine as simple as possible for that very reason, just one pen and maybe a pencil if I need to sketch in a habit tracker, no fancy layouts that I need a ruler for and the same basic format for layouts every week and every month. I put some stickers in there for a decorative element and to make it a bit more fun, but I know that if I fell down the Instagram/YouTube/Pinterest rabbit hole of ~aesthetique bullet journals then I would never be able to keep up with it as a functional tool. Which, like, no hate to people who enjoy that style of journalling, it's just not something I could keep up with and I need a planner to stay organised. I got a free planner from work today, though, from a yarn manufacturer (it has some knitting and crochet patterns in it too), so maybe I'll use that for a bit while I am finding it hard to maintain a bullet journalling habit.
