I mentioned that I do most of my planning and list-making digitally, but sometimes there’s nothing like pen and paper. I decided I wanted a notebook to carry about with me that I can just jot down random ideas and lists and notes in. Sometimes I transfer these ideas to my digital lists later, other times I just refer back to the notebook.
I chose a Moleskine Evernote classic notebook to use. It’s a great size and very high quality. I liked that it could so easily transfer over to my Evernote, although I don’t actually use that feature very much. It also has a pouch in the back cover where I can tuck stray papers.
The only other thing I really wanted from it was divided sections, so I easily created those for myself. I used fabric tabs on the edges and then just doodled the section titles and put some washi tape underneath:
It’s nothing fancy but I really love my little “everything” notebook. I’ve been using it for most of this year and not only has it worked well for me but I still have plenty of room left. The notes themselves are just completely random and actually kind of fun to look through. :)
From Nora:
I love your doodles! I try to doodle but it never turns out how I want it to… ever. =)
From yours truly, melissa:
I always have an everything notebook too, because you’re right…sometimes you just want pen and paper.
I love you made your own tabs, such a great idea!
From Cait:
I keep meaning to find an “everything” notebook to carry around because I get tired of typing everything up on my phone. This is so cute!
From Hannah:
There is just nothing like a notebook. Especially a Moleskine…they’re the best! Love your lettering!
