Junk journaling is my favorite creative ritual—a cozy blend of memory keeping, sustainability, and play. Using scraps, ephemera, and everyday “trash,” I turn simple moments into meaningful keepsakes. Here’s why I love junk journaling and how it helps me slow down, create without rules, and see beauty in the little things.

Starting something new can feel slow, like staring at a loading screen, but progress is happening—even if it’s small. On One Big Side Quest, I’ve learned to celebrate tiny wins, track ideas, and find my rhythm despite work and algorithm pressures. Every small step adds up, from TikTok views to blog reads. Remember: growth doesn’t need to be fast to matter—slow progress is still progress.
