☆ Thanks for the comments on my last post helping me brainstorm a good site to use for a media tracker! I decided to do a Listography for now since it's quick and easy to set up, so I brushed off my old page and cleaned it up. I ended up making one list as a chronological tracker and then separate sections for each medium to list out whatever I read/watched/etc over the year. I may add more to it, and I may still make that NeoCities one day since the formatting on Listography is pretty basic. (I'd maybe like to indicate on the chronological timeline whether something listed is an anime, book, movie, etc. but I'm not sure how to do that without making it even more cluttered...) But either way I think it's good for now!

☆ By some miracle I've mostly caught up on my reading list! Or at least as far back as it'll let me go. I kinda understand having some kind of limit on the number of posts it'll show, but why the 2 week time limit? :/ Regardless, if I check it more frequently I won't miss out on so much... I also made a post on journalsandplanners asking for people's thoughts on journaling materials and got some good replies! It seems like a fairly active comm for anyone who'd like to talk journals with people.

☆ I'm hoping to do a few write-ups on the stuff I never wrote about the last couple months, maybe an animanga update and one on general TV. And a January reading wrap up? I always plan a bunch of stuff to write about, let it pile up, then go 'oh no that's too much I'm not going to bother' sjhfsjdhf

Commonplace books are great! I don't think much about the materials though. I use cheap pens and whatever blank planner is on top of the gifted pile.

So many posts have fallen off my to-do list in the same way. Sometimes deleting it all and starting over with just one thing helps but I hope you break through the posting block!

journalsandplanners is great :D Looking forward to animanga update too!! I want to do another chat post on anime_manga soon as well, maybe tonight if I have some energy left after the day XD I love those posts :D

Those trackers on the ongoing page of your listography are super satisfying to look at <3

I'll have to check out journalsandplanners! Also: I always plan a bunch of stuff to write about, let it pile up, then go 'oh no that's too much I'm not going to bother' sjhfsjdhf If that's not a mood, I don't know what is, haha. But I'd be interested in reading those wrap-ups, particularly the anime/manga and book ones!

I'm sooo weak to stationery, I have piles of stuff I've never used but I always want to buy more :| The responsible part of my brain says to just use what I have, but...

Thanks! Splitting things up into separate entries may help too, I should probably just try to do things in smaller chunks.

I was surprised I got so many comments in response, but it's nice to see the comm is active! Even if I fail at keeping up with any kind of planner/journal again, I'll have to keep an eye on the comm just to see what other people are doing with theirs haha.

I've definitely got some anime stuff I want to rec/share so I've just gotta force myself to sit down and sort out what I want to talk about. I really picked up my anime/manga consumption (compared to normal, for me) at the end of last year so I'm like oh damn I didn't post about any of these...

They really are... Making pointless lists is so nice, I can't believe I forgot Listography existed. I guess when everyone jumped from there to Carrd for making contact/about sites it totally slipped my mind.

My book wrap up should be coming soon, I just want to finish my current novel first so I can add it in. I'm hoping I can do a monthly book review post since I read pretty slowly so they wouldn't be too long to write up... unlike this anime/manga post I'm trying to sort out because I haven't talked about anything I wanted to share/rec for months now sjdfhskjfs

The listo looks so cute!

I'm also in the camp of everything has piled up and now it's nearly five days into February, the second month of the year, is it worth it? I don't know.

Thanks for suggesting it on my previous post, I totally forgot the site existed lol. But I sure do love making lists!

Yeahhh the longer I put it off the more it just keeps making the 'to do' list longer oops. Maybe cutting out some of the less important stuff and just focusing on the stuff you really want to talk about/review/etc would help? (I say as I try to convince myself to do the same.)
