Hi friends! Just wanted to share how I use my pocket notebooks to get me through my days. ☺️ This is my Lifetime Leather Field Notes Wallet in Buck Brown.
Mine are very basic. Once I quit trying to make them look like the ones artsy people do, I started to enjoy the process of finding what really works for me. I envy those people who have the patience to do the fancy layouts. I am not patient and even my stickmen get laughed at. So mine resemble yours.
I love it! This was so encouraging to me. I’ve always kept notebooks and lists in them, but also other things. And it’s never been pretty and this made me feel better about myself. Thanks.
Your notebook is not ugly, it is functional and practical and it does a great job. i would rather watch a video on how your notebook works rather than all the decorated ones put together. Plus it looks used and the drawings from the children are brilliant.
As much as I enjoy seeing other people's lovely, decorated spreads, I feel no need to copy them! I am very much a functional planner and while I like my planner to be "tidy," I also want it to be useful! I think the most charming flips I have seen are the ones where the user checks things off, scratches things out, and uses all kinds of different pens and changes their set-up mid-stream. Their Planners/Notebooks feel "lived in," and use of their own handwriting (not stickers or decorative lettering) makes them feel so much more personal!
It's not "ugly", it's quirky and has character! Lol. But honestly, if it works as intended, who cares what it looks like. Don't be discouraged by all the artistic journals people post on the Grams or Toks or whatevers for validation and vanity.
Oh my gosh. Life isn’t always pretty. Why should our journals have to be? I keep a couple of planners/trackers for different things, and one book where I actually write about the day. Trust me, my most functional ones are NOT pretty. I’m busy LIVING my life, not making pretty pages.
Your notebook isn't ugly...it's LIFE! 😊

Hell yeah. Practicality above all! Also, for me this is super aesthetic to look at!
Love a well used, lived in notebook 😊

Looks like a functional bullet type listing notebook which is what works for most of us! Love your leather cover! Where did you get it?❤
That is how my note book looks. Lots of random notes and doodles.
same! my second brain
My hand writing is a mess always has been so my journals tend to be a bit of a mess , it is what it is .

You live near me!
I live too and all the world.
Epic fail-if you don’t use washi tape and write the date in calligraphy, your notebook is useless 😁 😂
