Any suggestions / advice on good places for BuJo inspiration?

I'm going to be composing something about my BuJo setup and am looking for ideas to add for others to help them find their way.

Whenever I sit down and just think about stuff I feel irrationally guilty that I'm not actively working. THIS IS BAD!!!

It's very important to remember that in creative work of any kind (this includes things like programming tbh), the more time you spend getting your thoughts in order, the smoother your execution will be. Even just taking a walk and letting your brain air out a little can be invaluable. 100% efficiency does not mean 100% active work.

Quick tip for traditional media artists:

Used Toffifee packages (or many other chocolate packages for that matter!) are perfect for use as cheap disposable paint/ink/etc. palettes. :)

Incase you need some extra places to mix colours!

I'm still salty about this tbh, I had to end up making a comic about it.

So, it does seem that Flattr took the opportunity to tell us why it can be a nice complement to #patreon.

The update claims creators will now get 95% of *pledges*; this is true but misleading.

Before, 100% of patron payments were counted as pledges. Now, 97% MAX of patron payments are counted. With the flat fee of 35 cents per transaction, this means you will only get roughly 63% of the money your $1 pledge patrons are paying.

If almost all your pledges are $1 or $2, you aren't getting 95% of your patrons' payments - you're getting more like 70%
