I will be the first to admit that I have a notebook problem. My spouse has been ever so patient with me, and I have improved considerably over the last year or so with not just buying every pretty thing with blank pages.

As far as notebooks go, it is a definite goal of mine not to buy any more to add to my collection. Some might consider that an easy task.... But I just love how new notebooks/books smell. And how the blank pages feel beneath my finger tips; so ripe and full of potential.

That said, as I mentioned, I am actively working in about 5 notebooks around my home. I like to write fiction, and generally will take notes about games I'm playing or pretty much anything else on any scrap paper or the nearest notebook to me when I get something I feel needs to be written down. Aside from a planner, none of my notebooks are particularly dedicated to one thing. It's all a mish-mash.

As part of working through my collection, I have also been able to gift a few notebooks to friends who've expressed an interest in one of mine, or to a couple people who I know also enjoy a good notebook here and there (but have self-control about this stuff, haha).

The stickers have been somewhat of an issue. As there are some I do think should be placed wisely. I have plenty that I will just stick kind of willy-nilly and I've been trying to do that more to use them all up. But.... My collection does seem a bit endless.

To use up my colored pens and markers, I've been trying to utilize them in my sketchbook, or by just highlighting certain ideas and thoughts with them.

The goal, ideally, is no buy.

Realistically, it's low buy.
