My January 2026 Junk Journal Planner | Curiosity Themed Setup + Printables

Описание: Welcome back, my lovely crafty friend 💛
In today’s video, I’m setting up January 2026 in my Junk Journal Planner, and I’m inviting you behind the scenes as I add a brand-new monthly signature with the theme 'Curiosity'.

If you’re new here - Welcome🤗❤️ My name is Garjana. I’m a psychotherapist, and after trying countless planners over the years, I created a system that finally works with my brain instead of against it. My junk journal planner allows me to plan my weeks ahead with fold-out weekly calendars, spacious mind-map style to-do lists, and plenty of room for creative expression, journaling, and gentle reflection.

🎥If you are interested in how to make a Junk Journal Planner, you can find the full playlist here:

In this video, I walk you through:
✨ how I print, trim, distress, and assemble my January free printable pages
✨ why uneven edges, mixed sizes, and imperfections are not flaws but part of the beauty of junk journaling
✨how my Traveler’s Notebook–style setup allows me to add, remove, and rearrange pages easily
✨how the January theme “Curiosity” flows through all parts of my channel this month - paper design, crafting ideas, and personal reflections.

Every month, my free printable papers connect to daily mindful collage prompts that I post on my Community page. Each day in January offers a small, gentle invitation to pause, notice, and explore something with curiosity - and to collect a tiny item inspired by that moment. At the end of the month, those 31 collected pieces come together in a monthly mental health collage.

✨On the first Monday of each month, we meet live to create that collage together:
