Please stop me!!!
UPDATE: Ya'll are so amazing ❤️ so much support, creative alternatives, and humor 🤣 I've put the special edition journal in my 'save for later' list on Amazon, remembered I already have a color printer so a mini one is unnecessary, and bought myself an inexpensive set of gel pens and the same size journal (total of $12) to see if I'll even use it.
I do keep a daily planner for work, so it's not a total loss since this new one is undated and I could use it for work instead.
As far as reading goes, I grew up loving to read. I was the little girl who could lose herself for hours in fantasy books. My parents would take me to book stores as a special treat. I had a teacher who would find fantasy books that were higher reading levels to help me progress in my reading skills. My little personality was books ❤️ and at some point that died. So I have the Kindle, I have a pile of physical books that I leave in different spots around the house, I have the time to read... But nothing is working 💔

Ok so I was scrolling Tiktok and came across a woman who was tracking her reading using new type of bullet journal (honbichi?) and mini photo stickers of the book covers. It's beautiful! Ive been looking for something to motivate me to read more so I started down the rabbit hole of throwing all the items I would "need" in my Amazon cart.
The journal I want is $40 The mini printer is $90 Stickers, markers, washing tape, etc.. $$$$
I do not need this! Will I even follow through with tracking? Have I followed through with any type of journal?! (The answer is no).
Please talk me out of spending my money on another hobby I will drop as soon as I have all the supplies 🤣😭
