Ways to Fill Your Notebooks

If you're anything like me, you have dozens of notebooks that you don't know what to fill with. So in this video, I'm going to go through what I use my notebooks for to give you a little inspiration. This first notebook I call my spirituality journal. So when you open it, I have a mini vision board in the front of pictures that make me happy, that I want my life to feel like. I fill the rest of the notebook with notes from books I'm reading or spiritual teachers I'm listening to, thoughts I have while meditating, or any ideas that I want to write. This is my sketchbook that I fill with all of my creative ideas. It has so many doodles and drawings and paintings and lists of things like video ideas, blog post ideas. It's really just a mishmash of everything. And this is my old sketchbook that I used to use and I also used it in my art classes. This next notebook is my gratitude journal and I use it every night before I go to bed to make a list of everything that happened during the day that I'm grateful for. This is just a plain old journal. I'm actually really bad about keeping up with a journal so this is probably five or six years old and barely half full, but I like having it whenever I feel like journaling. This is what I call my quote book and it's just full of quotes or poems or writings that have inspired me. This was my previous quote book that I used until I filled it up and I use these more than I write in my journal. I just love it so much. This one I started in 2011 and you can see I wrote the end date on the last page. Then I have a travel diary and it's basically just another version of my journal but it's small enough that it's easy to carry around when I travel and I just like to jot down memories every time I go somewhere cool. So this is like a scrapbook of my travels. I have a small notebook where I write down all of my to-do lists for each day. I love writing to-do lists. It helps me stay on track every day and this notebook is perfect for it. I don't write just for fun that often but when I do get some inspiration to write something I put it in this notebook. Every now and then when I have so many thoughts going in my head that I just need to get it out on paper I use this notebook to do stream consciousness writing and it really helps to clear my mind. Lastly I have this agenda which I know is technically not a notebook but I like it because I can use it as a bullet journal style planner. And lastly I thought it would be fun to show you guys my pencil case. So I keep my most used pens in here so that I can just grab it anytime I'm going to write in one of my notebooks. So these are the things that I keep inside. I hope this video gave you a few ideas for how to use your notebooks and if you have any more ideas please let me know because I still have so many empty notebooks that I need to figure out what to do with. And I will see you guys in my next video.
