This week’s addict, the founder of the excellent site The Gadgeteer, has been featured once before. She’s addicted to gadgets, but as this photo shows, she’s still addicted to notebooks too! (Even though the post it’s from is about going back to keeping a digital to-do list.) I have been using a very simple Bullet … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week (Again): Julie the Gadgeteer
Maybe this technically isn’t a notebook? But to me, if you cover your textbook in this many notes, it has basically become a notebook. This one belongs to a Japanese student who aced a world history exam by studying from these annotations. Gorgeous, isn’t it? Because if you know everything, you don’t have to worry … Continue reading Extreme Note-Taking!
If you happen to be in New York in the next few days, you might want to check out the “Volez, Voguez, Voyagez” exhibition about the history of Louis Vuitton, especially since it’s free! Some of it is just advertising for the brand, but what makes it interesting is that it looks back at the … Continue reading Louis Vuitton Exhibition in NYC
This week’s addict is Aurélia, who you can find on Instagram at @aureliabphotos. She is a photographer and sculptor/ceramicist, and also makes “letterbooks” so contact her if you are interested in exchanging snail mail! She is French but just moved to Portugal and doesn’t have all her notebooks with her, but there are quite a few … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Aurélia
This week’s addict has a detailed plan for how she’ll be using at least 7 planners and journals for various purposes– one for work projects, one for fitness and meal planning, others for daily journaling, art journaling, travel journaling and miscellaneous notes. There must be some other stuff going on too because I count 10 … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Michelle of Seaweed Kisses
Here’s an addict I found via Pinterest: Susannah Conway, an author, photographer and teacher. I love how her Filofax collection is so varied colorful, and her Moleskines are so monochrome and orderly! These are my journals dated 2003 – 2011. All large ruled Moleskines. They are the first things I would try to save if … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Susannah Conway
I don’t focus a lot on diaries and planners on this site, mainly because I haven’t used a paper planner myself for many years. But every once in a while, I see something that I have to have. I spotted this pocket size Nolty planner at the Kinokuniya bookstore in NYC, amongst a few other … Continue reading 2018 Nolty Diary from Japan
I used a few of these little planners when I was in college in the late 1980s. In the photo below, which includes some of my other planners from that time, you can see a black and brown Uncalendar, and the red one in the top left with a post-it on top is also an … Continue reading 1980s Uncalendar Planner
I did a long overdue update to my “Using Now” photo in the sidebar. My usage has actually been pretty consistent for the last few years, so it wasn’t all that out of date, but here’s the details on my routine notebook usage. Moleskine Pocket Squared– I almost always have one of these going as … Continue reading What I’m Using Now
Here’s a cool Kickstarter project that is ending on October 13, 2017: Nomad Notebooks. They still need about $9k to make their goal (as of this writing) and I hope they make it! The project involves the tried and true formula of 3-packs of pocket notebooks, but with a couple of twists: the notebooks are … Continue reading Nomad Notebooks: Kickstarter Ending Soon!
