Loved the read and was super stoked to see your project announcement on IG!!
I also realized that I relate all too well with productivity zoomies and will thusly act upon them next time the feeling comes up! There's a section in A Creative Act by Rick Rubin that also touches upon this (although I prefer the "productivity zoomies" term a lot more) and it's worth checking out if you ever come across it!
This is adorable and I can absolutely see this being a beloved tool by the HUGE stationery community! Your thoughts about the “productivity zoomies” also really spoke to me as well, and perhaps I’ll lean into my own in the future ✨
Ahhh thank you so much Thien-Kim!! I hope you enjoy the tool!! At some point I'll be adding some features to help with non-Hobonichi monthly journals too <3 let me know if there's anything on your wishlist! 😆
I'm a bullet journaler (not bougie) but I like printing out smaller photos for journaling. I currently have a 2x3ish photo printer but would like the option to print a bunch of smaller photos on a 4x6 sheet which is why I'm looking forward to using Journal Helper
Loved this post Victoria ❤️ both zoomie-driven-development and building niche tools resonates a lot with me and something I have been thinking about for next year - hearing your take on it was really inspiring and motivating ✨
Thank you so much Mads!! Yesss I'm so glad this resonated and I'm excited you're thinking about similar things!! Looking forward to seeing where you take things in 2025 🎊
I admire your journey to build products for people intentionally and in opposition to the logical, but not necessarily correct approaches of Big (and not so big) Tech focusing on problems for the masses and dominating in their product spaces. I think solving problems for niche areas and markets can build really loyal customers who are loyal because they feel seen and heard.

Thanks so much Emily!!! It was honestly exhilarating to let my emotions drive my work for a week and a half 💞 I definitely recommend giving it a try!!
Thanks for Journal Helper! I don't use Hobonichi but it will be helpful for me to resize my photos for my similarly sized layouts.
