Hello and Happy New Year!
A New Year means new beginnings and for me, one of the areas where these new beginnings are reflected is in my planner and journaling set-up!
It's not that I have all new everything for the New Year- some of my inserts/ booklets are the same as I used last year- and some, especially, dated calendar-type inserts are new for 2016. So, let's get into what my three Traveler's Notebooks (TNs) pictured above are for...
1. Regular Sized Hand-Rubbed Antiqued TN from Naked Cow Leather: This holds:
(a) My 2016 Weekly Planner (I am using it to plan and document by personal milestones)
(b) My Dream Journal (I have really weird and sometimes scary dreams and so, I thought it would be fun to keep a dream journal and write down the crazy stuff!)
(c) My Reading Tracker, a little notebook that I bought from Yellow Paper House on Etsy, which I will be using to track my reading for 2016.
2. Onica Hanby Damask 'Sherlock' notebook: This holds:
(a) My journal (thoughts, memories etc.)
(b) My book of lists
(c) My book of memorabilia and mementos- bits and pieces for travel and mini-trips
3. My Field Notes sized 'Manila Sunset' TN from Zenkraft: This is my travel notebook and has a handy book for noting down to-dos and important addresses and phone numbers (always have an analogue back-up, kids!), a journal and an art insert.
I'll share some pictures of what these individual inserts are and how I am using them over the next few weeks!
Do you use any special planners/ journals to document life or just to manage tasks etc.? If yes, please do tell us what works best for you, we love learning from others' experiences! :)
Have a great week ahead, guys!

Hello,
Thanks for sharing how you manage your journals. The post is really good. Inspired by you I would like to share a little too. I use handmade notebooks to write about my feelings. I carry one pocket notebook to jot down words, phrases or sentences which I come across suddenly, like somebody commented something interesting or a dialogue from a film etc. I also use a notebook to store important phone nos, addresses, passwords, dates etc. And in another I do my financial planning, nothing serious but nonetheless important. So at a time I use four notebooks and I always prefer handmade ones than plastic. Your choice in journal is exquisite and fabulous. Looking forward for your next post on journaling.
Thanks,
Ajita
Hey Ajita,
Thanks for your sweet comment and I love the way you use your journals and notebooks. I especially love the idea of using a pocket sized book to jot down phrases and words and movie dialogues. So coo!. :)
I do a stationery post every Sunday so do come back for more of my stationery posts. It's always nice to connect with people who love stationery as much as I do. :)
