I found this week’s addict on Instagram (@arimako58), where this lovely stack of notebooks was shared: Mostly refillable binders and some chunky journals in covers… I also spy what I think is a Filofax refillable notebook, similar to this one.

Revisiting the Past: GeorgieR’s Filofax (2008)

Another oldie but goodie in celebration of 10 years of Notebook Stories. I originally wrote the post below in October 2008 and GeorgieR’s notebook is still one of my favorite “Other People’s Notebooks” posts.

Ten Years of Notebook Stories!

September 12, 2008: 25 people died in a train collision in Los Angeles. Top Wall Street bankers and US government officials met in a panic to try to save Lehman Brothers, as the country began to tumble into the biggest financial crisis since the depression. David Foster Wallace committed suicide.

Sloane Crosley’s Yearly Date With the Planner

A fun New York Times article by Sloane Crosley. She’s been using the same Louis Vuitton planner and inserts for 22 12 years and counting: At the end of each year, I sit on the floor and go page by page through the old calendar, inking annual events into the new one, all the while … Continue reading Sloane Crosley’s Yearly Date With the Planner

This week’s addict is another Filofax fanatic. LJ recently moved and unpacked not only a TON of Filofax binders and inserts, but some official Filofax cabinetry that they’re stored in! Wow. Just… wow. See lots more at LJ’s Blog of Stuff: Move Complete.

One Notebook or Many?

Steve at Recording Thoughts has written a marathon series on the question “One Notebook or Many?” Now, I suppose you could argue that this isn’t even a question, as you probably wouldn’t be reading this blog if “many” notebooks wasn’t your idea of a good thing! But the issue here is whether to capture all … Continue reading One Notebook or Many?
