Stamps, Ink Pads, and the Analog Habit That's Making My Journaling Actually Stick
I am, by profession, a person who automates things. I have a spreadsheet tracking every hour my Photoshop actions have saved me. I batch-process hundreds of product images before lunch. I do not, historically, sit down with an ink pad and a rubber stamp and press things onto paper slowly and deliberately. And yet here I am, genuinely converted, because Peter McKinnon made it look not just appealing but functional. In Watch the full tutorial on YouTube, McKinnon walks through his entire stamp-based journaling setup, from ink selection to custom stamp design to wax seals, and the underlying logic is the same one that drives every workflow system I’ve ever built: make the repeated action feel rewarding enough that you don’t skip it.
