Notebook videos show the setup, not the journaling

[tomwrites]

When I look for examples of ordinary journal pages, most videos spend more time on layouts, paper and supplies than on the entries themselves. I can see why people don't want to put personal writing on camera, but it leaves plenty of examples of how a journal looks and few of how people actually use one.

A few lightly anonymized snippets would show more than another polished page reveal: a quick note, a longer entry, and a list. That gives a sense of everyday journaling without putting someone's full private page on camera.

A page shown at the start and then a few days later would tell me more than another finished setup. Cover the private writing and you can still see what got moved, crossed out or abandoned, which is the bit I find hardest to learn from polished examples.
