You know when you really like an author, and you say "I'd read their grocery list I love their writing so much" whatever the equivalent of that is, is how I feel about Des.
Destiny please i am literally ACHING for you to do the Ultimate psysical TBR video. Tell us all the stats. Give us a monthly Series where you read of your tbr, and finding fun ways to Pick the books of there and read them. I dont know why but your physical tbr is literally so fascinating to me, i cant be the only one😂❤
"Thinking is not going well so that's why I don't do it very often." I randomly clicked on this video because I love books, and now I'm officially subscribing :) Got me hooked with your stellar personality
Notion related! I save my stuff from past years in an "Archive" page (it lives in the left navigation, I just keep it at the bottom because it's literally just there to store pages I don't use anymore). So at the end of each year I just drag my stuff into that archive and start fresh. It's fun to look back at years past and see what I was doing :)
I downloaded notion but I’m overwhelmed bc I fear that I may not know how to use it lol. This might be random and it’s totally okay if you don’t want to share but if you have an IG I would love to dm you and ask questions (if you’re okay with it) about how it works! I’ve watched so many tiktoks and I still don’t get it lol
Des! I just finished 11/22/63 a few weeks ago and even though it took me a while to read it- it was SO GOOD! I think you’d really enjoy it, I’m hoping you read it this month 🥹 I think it’s a bit slow at the start but the build up is so worth it at the end!
Your animal crossing livestream came at the perfect time my boyfriend just got me it for my bday!! Your island slays and I have no idea how to progress to that point
For keeping previous years on your Notion I would recommend making an 'archive' page. I just have a page on my sidebar called 'archive' that I put all my old pages into. Then you will just see the 'archive' page on your sidebar instead of all the pages from previous years. I would just put all your pages from the year into a toggle on that page with the year labeled and then you can keep everything without having to see it on the sidebar. I have been doing this for years and it works super well for me! Hope this helps, love your videos!!
hi destiny!! have you done a video about starting your reading journal?? i honestly have a really difficult time thinking about how to begin making one, and i suffer from being too nervous to mess things up 😅 ily!!
des! would you ever do a notion tutorial video!? even just the basics? I have been wanting to start a notion but find it super intimidating and difficult to understand at first. I have followed a couple tutorials to set up pages for school, but find when I try to set up a page on my own I don't know enough of the basics to create an aesthetically pleasing layout I LOVE how your pages are organized!
I save my notion every year!! I made an archive folder so that will show up on the side but i just drag everything in there and then i sort it within that by year!!
omg des READ the bell jar i put it off for years thinking it was gonna be inaccessible and hard to read because its a classic but its SO good and SO readable and relatable and i was frustrated that i denied myself its beauty for so long lol
Have you ever done a walk-thru video of how you create your mood board? I know you've talked about the process, but I mean like the step-by-step process? I'd love to see it!
I'm sure people have said this already buttt could you do a video showing us some Notion tips. I love how you use yours and want to do something similar starting next year but have no idea how to get it started. Love you sm and thanks in advance!
Hey Des ! I don't know if you know but you could put the image in the cover of the notion pages and have the card preview set as the page cover instead of the page content in the layout settings from a table, that way you won't have to scroll that much to access the actual page content, if that makes any sense ? You can then add multiple pictures inside the page content to decorate them if that's something you want, and they won't mess up the cover :)
This might be my fav type of video for you to film, wish my notion was as aesthetic as yours. Also I still keep forgetting you’re now a fellow Texan girly. Hope you’re enjoying the weather lol. 🫶
Spoilers suck but I think the end of reckless is super obvious so it shouldn’t ruin your reading experience too much!! Also i agree with you about the first 3 books of tmi before tid (I didn’t love the first 3 books but SO worth it to get to the infernal devices)
The fact I was sitting in my room and was like I wanna watch a destiny video imma go see if there is an unwatched one or rewatch one Than I get on RU-vid and this is what I see🥰🥰🥰🫶🏼
I have to update my reading journal, but I'm so lazy these days... maybe I will find motivation watching you... (or not ahah) I'm really impressed by how you're keeping your notions updated .To be honest I stopped using Notion, I just take notes, or quote when I'm outside. I put too much pressure on myself and it just stress me out...and I'm already keeping my goodreads update...so I gave up T.T, anyway, Sending a lot of love
Can you make notion templates for us to copy and make our own? I struggle making templates, but yours is what I want for my reading tracking and stats!!
For the mortal instruments series I am on the last book. It’s the first fantasy series I’ve just about completed. I have like 200 pages left but honestly it’s been really good. The fourth book wasn’t my fave and half the fifth book wasn’t my fave but the end of the fifth and what the last book has consisted of is really good. I don’t have much to compare it to since I’m new to reading. I started April last year but I honestly have been enjoying it and I recommend you stick through it.
I also loved the movie and also picture the movie actors in my head. I’ve tried reading this series since 2013 when the movie came out but I have really bad adhd and struggled with comprehension. I’ve only just become better at it so I might be a little bias about the series because I didn’t think I’d ever get through it because I didn’t think I’d be able to read it. I used to think I was too dumb to read. But I have read other books just not other fantasy.
What I do with my Notion pages that I no longer care to see but don't want to delete is, I make an "Archived" page. I put this somewhere where its out of the way from my daily and monthly databases. I move everything from last year to the archived page and its there if I need to reference it., but its out of the way and I never think about until its needed. I hope this helps.
HI Destiny! I have some book recommendations for you!! The great alone by Kristin Hannah Go as a river by Shelley Read Scythe by Neal Shusterman Child 44 by Tom rob smith And dark matter by Blake Crouch! I would LOVE you to read The Great Alone. It is my favourite book. It’s so amazing. The ending is not at all what you expect but it’s just. Beautiful. Please read these!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
i always archive my previous years stuff on notion, pages, trackers etc just in case i want to re-use something! by archive i mean i just make a page, call it archive and drop anything in there lol
