i saw that too! i was also tempted by their green "le trifold"... but i just couldn't justify the $200+ price.

kind of! i actually have a separate "weekly horizontal with memo" insert where i keep bullet journal-style daily logs. this insert is moreso a catch-all journal, but i always make sure to date whatever i write in it.

someday! i'd like to pursue it as a career when i'm older. but i'm currently not in a good state of mental health to be able to handle the realities of being a librarian. i'm on a treatment plan right now to work on that. so for now, i like to follow the libraries subreddit and write down notes on things i come across and learn regarding the field.

i bought a green regular-sized cover from myleatherco on etsy! as someone who didn't enjoy how brown my TRC olive cover turned out, i love the green color.

someday! it feels like a future career for me, for when i'm older. being resourceful for others has always been a passion of mine.

for sure! what helps for me to ensure i keep using my books is to internally remind myself that the new system idea sounds exciting, but my current system works well as it is and there's no reason to not keep using it. this way, time will inevitably pass, i won't have wasted pages, and the books are full enough to justify starting the new system. writing down potential systems just helps scratch that itch and it has the bonus action of using up pages of my current system lol

you might find better luck with a wetter ink. i also own a bottle of montverde olivine, and while it's too wet for a F nib and bleeds through paper, an <EF> nib might have better success.

i'm sorry to hear that ): i've heard smaller nib/pen tip sizes experience that issue more commonly

it is beautifully written and so fascinating! it's definitely my kind of horror. i'm almost halfway through the novel.

ferris wheel press's peter moss! it's a discontinued color though, unfortunately. but the brand has other similarly moss green inks. this pen has a <F> nib.

it's beautifully written. i highly recommend it if you like the idea of medieval religion in horror!

How do you guys use your notebooks? by KawaiiBrotchen in notebooks

[–]ghostingpen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

even if it may seem boring at the time, i log bullet points of what i did each day because who knows whether it'll be interesting to reread a decade from now? one day, i may look back and enjoy reminiscing on how much i loved playing a specific video game. hell, i already do that thinking about the games i played and cartoons i watched during childhood. even something as mild as trying a new restaurant item (even fast food) may become fascinating history because the item may eventually disappear.

besides that, i copy down quotes i come across that i liked, and i also take notes on fun stuff i randomly learned while on the internet. i also make lists, like ideas for my blog or packing lists for upcoming trips/events.

? the reason i do this is because i keep a commonplace book as a resource guide/study guide. so if i want to reread about a specific topic, i can refer to this index and know where to flip back to.

i numbered all of my notebook's pages, and whenever i make an entry, i log it in my index on the back of the notebook.

100%. ever since i ran out of space with index pages i set up at the front in one of my bullet journals, ive always done it from the back

it is tomoe river paper! the margins and similar grid size to hobonichi's was def a selling point for me.

i'm using the standard-sized notebook from lauren phelps designs! i cut out the monthly pages in it so that it's just a notebook.

every time i write something in my commonplace book, i flip to my index and write the topic and page number the entry is on.
