Do you ship to my country?

How much does shipping cost and how long does it take?

What currency are your prices listed in? Can I see the prices in my country’s currency?

Do you have too many notebooks but nothing to write? Let us know if any of our ideas gave you inspiration or leave your ideas in the comments!

I like the act of writing, it relaxes me to just write for hours while watching Youtube videos half attentively, but I'm not creative enough to free write that much so I just copy Wikipedia articles that interest me. I haven't seen anyone else do something like that but I love it! And it's a great way to fill up notebooks fast (and I get to learn a bunch of new things!)

“What do you do with your empty notebooks?”
Me: Stare at them and contemplate my life choices

If you knit or do any kind of fiber arts, you can record your projects, keep track of your yarn, create stich patterns for the sweater you're going to knit, and you can keep track of your needle, too.

"stationary you don't need"

Good one! Had a good chuckle from that.

Every year I choose one of my many notebooks and I dub it 'Book of Research (insert year)' and I spend the whole year trying to fill it with anything I want to research, this year it's full of mostly Japanese language work and other pages are about future goals and historic events!

THE TIMING IS PERFECT, MY TABLE IS FILLED WITH UNUSED NOTEBOOKS SO THANK YOUU😫💞

Basically, if you have a hobby, devote a notebook to it. For example, back in the day when Video Games had Puzzles or Cheat Codes, you could devote a notebook to that game, or have a notebook for all of your games.

Another thing you can do is track your finances. Open your notebook and have the left page for "income, " and track important purchases (things that require maintenance) and use the right page for out going expenses. You can watch how the price of things change over time, your spending, and even your income.

Use a notebook to track your health. Like keep track of your weight, blood pressure, & temperature. You can present it to your doctor to give them more data on how to treat any illness you have.

To touch on poetry, or other writing samples: use the left page for the writing sample, and use the right to provide context in your life. Basically remember why you wrote the poem, as these memories can fade overtime.

Or, simply Journal. Just record your day with important events. Reflect on what went well, and what could be improved on. Just take an hour a day for this.

If you are religious, and do daily scripture reading (or any other type of reader), read your selection of the book, and write down any inspirations, or thoughts you have. If you like to re-read books, divide the page up into sections, and use one section per read through. See how your interpretation of the text changes overtime.

Or, one of the best uses: use it to purge all negative thoughts right them down, and never look at the notebook again. Expel that negative energy out of your mind.

I enjoy keeping ongoing notebooks of "Book Quotes." For many years when I am reading any book, if I find a great line in a book, I place a Post-It "flag" by it. When I'm done with the book, I go back and write the great lines in my Book of Quotes. I have these dating back 25 years.

Commonplace books are great. You should totally do an intro/guide to them.

I saw on TikTok, someone had made a First Chapter Journal. She wrote down the title, publisher and publish date, and the little synopsis on the book. Then copied down the first chapter. I just completed mine. It's a great way to practice your handwriting and get creative with the spreads

OMG. I thought I was the only one who has a pile of nice notebooks but nothing to put in them. Or better; they're so nice I don't want to 'mess' them up with poor writing. Great video as always.

I also keep a translation notebook. I'm learning Japanese so I like to copy dialogues from short Japanese comics and practise translating them. It's a very nice hobby to have and it motivates me in the learning!

[aditigupta]

I had a book that I filled in with warm words whenever I felt bad.
Like if I feel unimportant I tell myself good words by writing them. I gave it to my cousin and she is loving it.
She said it's the best gift and I am happy too

I use one small notebook as a brain dump. Just writing on the go whatever I’m thinking about :) Thanks for inspirational video!

In my younger years I've been travelling a lot and always had a travel diary with me. I wrote about the places I've visited or about the people I met, made sketches of people and landscapes and glued in photos, tickets for train or bus rides, tickets for concerts, exhibitions or museums ... And like so many others I picked up some notebooks over time but didn't really know how to make use of them. I just knew I needed to have them ^^. And also, there's just something "magical" about unused empty books, I don't know how to describe it.

Right now I'm doing what you described as creative book. But I split it into separate books. One's my "music journal" in which I write down lyrics, chord progressions (in the past I've done that on whatever sheet was lying around and I'm pretty disorganized so I lost some material ... I'm also in the process of de-digitalizing because even though it's nice to instantly record ideas I feel that I'm much more creative with a pen! It makes me actively work on ideas instead of just instantly recording every crap that crosses my mind and store it on the hard-drive just to judge it as half-baked and delete it a month later) and also keep track of my practice habits.

The other one's my "art" journal in which I do simple drawing exercises. I only use pencils so I don't really need expensive paper for that. I'm thinking of starting another one for this year's NaNoWriMo. I intend to to all my character sketches and outlining in one book but we'll see. At work I still prefer a binder, it's a little bit more convenient for me.
Btw, in our division we also got a "communication notebook" in which we write down important information for the division and everyone has to read and sign it daily. I know, nowadays everyone's using Trello, Slack or some other app but, at least in our case, this has proven to be much more efficient than any of the digital solutions we tried! Nobody can say he didn't get the memo anymore. I'm also doing bullet journaling but mine's not one of the fancy ones, it's pretty messy. But it helps me to stay at least somewhat organized.
