    I hope you enjoy this May Notebook challenge and the setup of my B5 Stalogy. Just a reminder to dust off any notebooks you've been saving up for a special occasion and just USE THEM! It doesn't have to be perfect. Just enjoy them and let them be fun tools for growth. How many notebooks are you currently using?

    I love how you’re always encouraging us to think of new ways to use new notebooks and start over if we need to! I have so many note books that are a combo of all the things 😂

    I love watching your notebook challenge videos because it relieves the tension/anxiety I have around my half-filled and unused notebooks/planners, and inspires me to find new ways to use them!

    I love this so much! I "reboot" notebooks all the time. All the time. I swap out systems and notebooks at least once a quarter, and the process of setting something up is almost more important, sometimes, than the finished result. It's meditative, and paper is such a lovely medium.

    I bought a websters pages composition cover and i love them. Composition notebooks are cheap so i feel less anxiety using them and having them be perfect. And they look cute because of the notebook. Highly recommend! ❤

    It seems the universe is working in both of our lives with resetting our view of not only writing but life’s journey. Just today, I looked at my new traveler’s notebook and wondered what I could use it for- and eight minutes later your video appeared. Thank you for sharing this journey with all of us! I’d love to see more videos on notebook uses in a writer’s life.

    Earlier today, I moved my current set of TN inserts into a different cover for a bit of a refresh (and to bring that particular cover out of retirement!). The four inserts I'm using are a smaller (~A6) sized grid notebook that I'm slowly turning into a hand-drawn monthly planner; a horizontal weekly with the week on the left and a notes page on the right; another, bigger grid notebook that's been my bullet journal; and a writing journal that's just a teeny bit bigger than the rest of them. All of them fit nicely into this A5 snap cover I bought at Walmart several years ago (I think around the time the Notebook Challenge started!) Before that, I was carrying the monthly, weekly, and bujo in a smaller cover that didn't fit them as well. I decided I want a writing journal in my planner so I can jot down ideas or journal about my progress without having to dig out a separate notebook.
    I've been playing with notebooks and planners all day today, so this video came at the perfect time! 😁💖 Thank you for making these videos and sharing your ideas. They really help a lot. And speaking of what types of videos I want to see: all of the above! Writing, planning, vlogs--any kind of video you make, I will watch! 💖💖💖💖

    Finally getting to sit and watch this! I love the idea of a notebook you can come back to when the time is right. I have one that was a planner from 2020, undated but says 2020 on the cover, and I love the layout so I keep trying to find ways to come back into it.
    And I find that sometimes the best use for precious notebooks I've been saving is to give them away! I get all tied up in feelings if I try to use the really old ones, but it makes me happy to send them to others instead.

    I saw a washi sticker tape roll on temu which had gorgeous dragonflies on it and I immediately thought of you ! Your notebook challenge videos give me a lot of ideas to use my journal . I personally prefer to have one planner and one journal but this year I think I want to try separating my journaling up a bit

    We (you & I & many hearties, no doubt) are Searchers. Always on the hunt for the perfect notebook, pen, craft book to reignite our creativity/inspiration, etc. The hunt is so much fun, so full of promise! But then our treasures pile up, and eventually start to feel like a to-do list. We need to be patient with ourselves and just use the items that serve us in the moment. The rest can wait. No guilt or self-recrimination necessary.
    Also - THANK YOU for the Hobonichi Cousin! I love it! I've wanted to try one for a long time.

    Every time I watch these notebook challenge videos I get so excited about my notebooks. I haven't been using one lately, but I really want to get back into it. I love how you refer to it as a hobby because that's what it feels like, and it does make me happy. I've been using notebooks from Michaels for a reading log and for a very loose monthly planner. I like the notebooks, but it's more fun to have variety, so I may throw another one in. Also I'm a Sacha fan, and I loved her Anatomy of a Bestseller.

    Yay! My favorite time of the month - Notebook Challenge time! Like a lot of others have said, it’s always so inspiring to watch you get excited and passionate about your notebooks - both old and new! I love your attitude towards not being afraid to use and/or ruin your notebooks, as it’s something I struggle with as well. It’s helpful to see you bring new life to your older darlings, so thank you for highlighting that in your videos! I’m excited to see how your Project Phoenix notebook turns out!

    Love the notebook challenge! I checked my KU and realized I'd already checked out Ruby Roe's book after a twitter recommendation. I didn't know Roe was Sascha Black though. I've just moved so my notebook collection is in multiple boxes/bins/piles at the moment. I'm trying to "just pick one" rather than searching through the boxes for the "right" one.

    @DawnMontgomeryAuthor Год назад +1

    I recommend the SIgno for writing on black paper. Better consistency. You could also use your black notebook as a canvas. Write your notes on journaling cards and insert them, either by pasting them in or using photo corners to keep them in place. Also, a beautiful dragonfly vellum would fit perfectly in that black notebook as a tip in.
    Continuing capture options. I use Roam Research to capture my random ideas. I also use it as my second brain. There's a great interview with Rider Carrol on how he uses Roam Research and how he uses it to capture Kindle notes (if you also do edits that way).

I'm not a colorful person, I like all my clothes, accessories, office supplies to be pretty neutral colors. But that Stalogy setup is speaking to me! So excited for the craft writer's book club, and I would vote for it either to be in zoom or a live format. :)

I think I'll just start with freeform journaling. As always, I love your videos❤
