Do you still remember collecting stickers for that 2020 planner or excitedly picking the best one that would suit your needs? Planners may have become a “useless” purchase from last year because honestly, what’s there to plan when we’re all stuck at home and can’t travel?
Well, you can still use your planner as a journal. Journaling is a great way to cope during this trying time; so it’s no wonder that many have been getting into it! While it’s challenging to look forward to the future (it’s scary AF), you can start listing down good things that happen to you on the daily. It’s something nice to look back to once all of this is over and to help you get started, we’ve rounded up some journal YouTubers you can take inspiration from.
