So I bought a notebook recently and I was trying to think of ways to use it and these are just some of the ways I thought of:
- Writing down my feelings of the day
- Memories, new ones and remembering old ones
- Things I’ve noticed throughout the day
- New words I’ve learnt and their definition
- Reviews of tv shows, movies e.t.c
- Books to read
- Movies to watch
- Things that confuse me and try to think of a logical reason for them
- Wishlists
- Lists of friends and memories with that friend
- Views on current affairs
- Family things
- Visit places and write down what I see, conversations I hear e.t.c
- Make mind maps of goals
- Comics
- Travel experiences or future travelling plans or even dream trips
- Favourite things
- Dislikes
- Bio about myself
- Spying on people
- Stickers
- To do lists
- Things to buy
- Research and facts on things that interest me e.g. nature, astronomy
- Lists of crushes, a bit about them e.t.c
- Dream journal
- Doodles
- Poems I like
- Quotes from books, movies or anywhere that I like
- Sticking in pictures I like from magazines or photographs e.t.c
- Fashion things
- Song lyrics I like
- Dream wedding, houses e.t.c
- Bucket list
- Personal diary and rants
- Keeping track of food I eat and health
- Stories
- Plans
- Making a list of good things that have happened that day
- Practising different handwriting e.g. calligraphy
- Problems that I have and try to figure out a positive outcome to them
- Pet journal
- Restaurants, food, recipes
- Gift ideas
- Blog posts
These are just some ideas I thought of, I say some but I mean a lot. Some tips for keeping a notebook are:
- Writing dates and titles so you can look back on your entries in the future
- Make it as colourful and creative as you want
- When picking out a notebook, pick one that you really like the design of
- Fill it with anything you want
- Keep it on you at all times
- Keep it hidden if you don’t want people to read it
This is my notebook I’ve left the first page blank because I’ll probably decorate it at some point. I might even decorate the front cover slightly, depending on whether I want to risk ruining the cover or not.
I hope this helps people who have piles of empty notebooks because they like to buy them because they think they’re pretty.
I always have a ridiculous amount of notebooks on the go at once or just lying around, it’s crazy 😉 scrapbooks& diaries and lists are my favourite ways to fill them 🙂
I know it’s ridiculous how many I have, but I’m always so scared to start them because I like them to be perfect. So, I thought I should just go for it and it’s very good for keeping track of memories as I love looking back on memories! 🙂
yes I have multiple books full of memories I love looking back at them :’) When in doubt, start a list;)
