I recently decided to try out a travelers notebook. I have always carried many notebooks and calendars in my bag. I am a person who has to write things down to remember them. And I am also someone living with and managing adhd. Writing things down is a way of compensating for this, for me. If you like to track multiple things but keep them separate from each other, I recommend a travelers notebook.
I have two currently. I made one myself from pieces I ordered online. I ordered a cover in the 5A size, from the etsy shop PipsyCraft. I then ordered a filler notebook from the etsy shop PeppermintandSage. The last piece I ordered online was a journal from Amazon. I chose to build this myself, to see how I liked it and so that I could try out the most different types of fillers at once. As soon as I got all the pieces in, I put them together, and added the small journal I was already carrying in my bag. I instantly realized that it made me feel some really rad nostalgia. It totally reminded me of a Trapper Keeper from when I was a kid. And I really like that set up.
I really like the DIY and refillable aspects of it. I set mine up in this order. In the first journal I keep up with my sales and numbers and business things for my ecommerce business. The next journal is where I plan, and plot out my YouTube videos, and any research I need to accompany those. The last journal is dual purpose, I use it as a place to brain dump, and plan out life, but I also use it to plan my blog posts, and doing my research that accompanies them. I also slide my planner and sticky notes inside the outer cover. I makes it all stay together and organized inside my bag.
I actually loved it so much I immediately went back to PipsyCraft and ordered another prefilled one. I chose a cute little Witch/Halloween themed one. It is just the most precious! I haven’t decided what I want to put in that one yet, but I am so excited about it! I really want to put something super cool in it!
I recommend this set up because, there are many different sizes, styles, and refills. You can customize it to the nth degree. It can be 100% you and fun, but also practical. It is an awesome way to organize your thoughts, schedules, and creativity. I know some people don’t need to keep things separated, but I do. It makes it easier for me to keep things organized in my brain and also easier to go back and find my notes. If you decide to check out a travelers notebook for yourself, please check out the etsy shops I mentioned. They are great!
Stay safe, stay rad, and wash your DANG hands!
