What journals / notebooks do you recommend?
Hi!! I highly recommend:- the blue campus notebooks by kokuyo iāveĀ ran through 2 notebooks for my bujo and theyāve been great. I use the notebooks for school too and itās been amazing, iĀ highly recommend this notebook, itās my absolute favorite!
- mujiāsĀ plastic ring file + dividers + paper with grid/grid dotted paper i love mujiās papers, butĀ i donāt quite like the notebooks because thereās too little pages in my opinion, but the newest ring system that I have is pretty nifty. I donāt recommend a double ringed file though (the pages keep escaping because theirĀ double punched holes are abnormally wider than their rings- so iām using a file fastener to keep them together) so try and get the multiple ringed files. I love this system because Iām very bad at spacing my pages, so with this system I can arrange what goes where very easily, and choose which papers to bring if the file gets too thick (I use A5 for my bujo and B5 for my school notes). iāve been told that the recycled paper file material splits open very easily so i use the plastic one (which is really good so far- i donāt have much complaints)
- any notebook you can findi actually donāt really bother with what notebook i use. normally because as long as the papers are great (quality and quantity) and theyāre small but big enough to travel with, no matter how ugly the cover is (because you can always decorate it), theyāre good to go. donāt spend so much money on a branded notebook. notebooks are places where you should be okay with making mistakes, jotting down your feelings, okay with wrecking etc. if you want to invest in a good notebook, i recommend you only do so for a planner/bujo/diary, and only for the sole purpose that this will motivate you/make you happy/add to your emotional attachment - but again, there are many good quality and cheap notebooks out there.
please never feel obligated to buy expensives notebooks ! notebooks and journals (bujos) should be there to help you and to bring you happiness/some ground to your life ^^ and as previously mentioned, itās totally okay to spend a bit more on notebooks and journals (everyone has different things that they donāt mind spending money on and if school supplies are it for you, then by all means buy it!)
