Example of “cute” stationery

My family always ask why some of the companies made a cute stationery instead of high functionality stationery. Before I started to watch about How to Write a Good Notes, I can’t answer it. But honestly, I really want to buy that one. Not for using it, but for adding my collection. “Maybe at the next time I can use it. But I don’t know when and where”, I thought.

This week, I often watch this youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7TV5acMx_3Mzsdbts93liA . This is not my youtube channel (of course), I’m not an endorser of this youtube channel, but I love it. I like the way how she (because the speaker is a woman), decorated her notes and how she made a bullet book for 2017. I try to do it and try to made it almost same with her. But I don’t have that cute dictionary, and I found that… the notebook is super lame. I can get bored easily if I only see this black and white with a bad writing of mine, and maybe at the next time, I will not open this book anymore.

After that, I try to ask my family for allowing me buying that stationery. After I telling all my motivation, they gave me some budget but it’s enough for me. I continued making the book and it looks beautiful. It makes me motivate myself. Of course, my mom asks me what am I doing and why I decorated my book like an elementary school student. But I like it. I really want to use it for 2017 and become one of my goals: always using it until the end of 2017.

I can’t find other important things when you are using the cute stationery, but for me, it only for help me and give me motivations. No other reasons than that.
