How To Fill Your Empty Notebooks || 30+ Ideas!!

I’m excited to share with you more than 30 ways to fill your notebooks! I’m also officially announcing my 2019 Notebook Challenge, where I’m challenging myself (and anyone brave enough to join in) to fill an entire notebook every single month of 2019.

To go along with this challenge, I’ll also be giving away a notebook every month from my collection!

And let me know if you’ll be joining me in my notebook challenge next year!

About Me: My name is Sarra Cannon, and I've been indie publishing since 2010. In that time, I have published 25 books and sold well over half a million copies.

I've made some mistakes along the way, but I've also learned some valuable lessons that I think will help you reach your goals. I can't wait to help you learn to make money writing what you love.

I have a stack of notebooks myself and suffer from the "too pretty to write in" syndrome! I'll be joining in on this challenge!

A few ideas I don't think we're mentioned:
• Language journal if you're learning a new language
• Bullet journal/planner
• Planning blog/video posts (also keeping track of your passwords)
• Thought of the day
• If you're young, make a handbook for your future career. Ex: If you're an aspiring housewife, make a journal you can go to for tips on marriage, child development, femininity, recipes, etc.
• Spirituality. For religion & faith, Bible verses and what not or just spiritual thoughts and teachings.
• Synopsis' on books, movies, and shows + reading/watch list.
• Ranting, if you're one to monologue and rant. Somewhere to privately get out the vulgarity.

I have one notebook dedicated for each of my kids for things they say or do that makes me laugh or i just want to remember. I like having that separate so that I can give it to them one day and they can see how much they make my life so much better,

I really like the manifestation journal idea. I’ve got so many notebooks just because I love stationary. Another way I use mine is my “therapy book” because I can’t afford to go to therapy so I talk to my journal like it was my therapist and try and work through things myself.

I started using my notebooks by taking notes about this video!! Lol 🤣 yeah for 2019 challenges.

[jordanruth]

I will join because I love purchasing notebooks. I am a paper fanatic and to fill one up as a new hobby will be therapy for me.

Go room by room and make a detail list of personal property like electronics. Include model/ serial numbers. Great for insurance claims. Trust me. When you need the list you won’t remember 1/2. Creative Blessings

Are you planning to join my notebook challenge in 2019??

[jzsketchcraft]

I love to study for fun, as a result I have notebooks for each topic I'm teaching myself, at the moment I'm using separate ones for French, Japanese, Elvish (yes I'm a nerd), coding, my writing course and shorthand+coded languages. I also have a few for my faith and also for witchcraft.

[elizabethsmith]

Yes! I picked out a notebook to use for my shopping lists, which I presently jot on scraps of paper and then lose and need to recreate and then immediately find again. It’s a five subject ½ size spiral notebook with a folder between each section of pages. The pockets are perfect for those coupons I get in the mail which I can never find when I’m heading to that store. The pages are handily perforated at the edge so I can tear out the list and easily pull off the straggly bits.

Here’s the thing. I don’t have a pretty notebook collection, I have an ugly notebook collection. I have been stocking up every year at back-to-school when they are like 50 cents. But! Craft paper is less than a dollar per sheet. So I got some floral paper (and mermaid paper!) and covered the plain cover with gorgeousness.

I also just started a lettering practice book in a composition notebook thanks to you. The bleed-through with my markers is horrific, but I am not bothered by only lettering the front of each page. It’s a practice book, not a worry book.

Fantastic ideas! Thank you for this video!

One of the things I want to start doing is kind of like character files. I have a short version of it that have the important details I need for writing, but some times I fall inlove with and so i kind of write about their lives. So I can just kind of develope their memories sort of.

[carolyngreene]

Another idea: Faith journal. Contains notes of Bible readings, prayer lists, sermon notes, etc.

Hi SARRA, 🖊📓📒📚📝💖💕 I have just found you on this last day of 2018–and I am more than delighted to have done so! I had NO CLUE there were OTHERS out there that LOVED NOTEBOOKS as I do! I probably only have 25 or so and thought that was excessive 🤓😱. Now I realize I’m just getting started! Sign me up for the challenge for 2019... Like you I have SEVERAL that I have used only a few pages and have actually “beat myself up” over that fact—NO MORE! Thank you so for this SARRA; what an inspiration you are. Continued success to you, from me, YOUR NEWEST FAN❣️

[carlafredd]

I will be joining you in this challenge. I wrote down all 33 ways to use notebooks in one of my barely used notebooks which will be my manifesting journal. I will also use other notebooks for: morning pages, book review log, book notes and daily writing prompts. I have a travelers notebook insert that I've got to figure out what to do with it. This was a really help for list.

[rhiannonhart]

I don't own a single notebook, but after watching your 'My Notebook Collection' video I have the itch to go and buy one, or 50 😂😂 You have also inspired me to get a planner. First thing I would love to do with a notebook is to make a vision book of everything I want to achieve in 2019. I also love your idea about the dream journal, I dream a lot 😴 I think I need to join this challenge !!!

[JournalBreezeYT]

It's a relief to know I'm not the only one who bee-lines to notebooks whenever and wherever I see them! I have so many unusued, but not as many as you Sarra :) I feel inspired by your challenge!

[coopermltn]

Hello! I just found your channel and I love the notebook idea! I will probably use them for gratitude, favorite scriptures, exercise log, recipes, bill paying, and bible study. Other ideas will probably come to me after I watch the whole video but these are my ideas so far. Thanks!
