Empty Notebooks
If you’re like us, you probably have multiple empty notebooks lying around and few ideas on how to fill them. So here’s a compilation of ideas, that hopefully will inspire you to fill those notebooks. Some may seem rather obvious, but it doesn’t harm to cover the basics.
1. Bullet Journal
For ideas on how to start your bullet journal have a look at our 2019 setups here and here.
2. Recipe Collections
A place to write down your favourite/most used recipes is useful. Having to search through various different websites/apps trying to remember what that one recipe was called is a pain. If you don’t have a notebook with dividers use sticky bookmarks to mark what type of recipe each page contains (e.g. meat, veggie, vegan, deserts etc.)
3. Dream Diary
4. Book/Reading Journal
A place to write down what books you’ve read and what you’ve thought. This journal is also a good way to keep track of what books you have borrowed or loaned, and when books by your favourite author are due to be released.
5. Finances
A notebook solely for a log of what you’ve spent or earned is very helpful in organising yourself and adulting.
6. Diary/Journal/Brain Dump
A place to write down thoughts and feelings.
7. Miscellaneous Notebook
A small notebook that can fit into any bag (and maybe a pocket) that you can take anywhere with you to write down anything that may pop into your head, shopping lists and ideas.
8. Lists
This could be a place where you keep shopping lists, to-do lists, favourite movies or tv shows you are currently watching.
9. Blog Posts
Ideas for blog posts can strike at any time or they can take a while to form, a notebook is a perfect way to keep those thoughts organised.
10. Stories/Ideas
Writers know that inspiration can strike at the strangest of moments and sometimes those ideas aren’t needed in that point of the narrative. A notebook keeps those ideas safe until needed.
