    A few ideas I don't think we're mentioned:
    • Language journal if you're learning a new language
    • Bullet journal/planner
    • Planning blog/video posts (also keeping track of your passwords)
    • Thought of the day
    • If you're young, make a handbook for your future career. Ex: If you're an aspiring housewife, make a journal you can go to for tips on marriage, child development, femininity, recipes, etc.
    • Spirituality. For religion & faith, Bible verses and what not or just spiritual thoughts and teachings.
    • Synopsis' on books, movies, and shows + reading/watch list.
    • Ranting, if you're one to monologue and rant. Somewhere to privately get out the vulgarity.

    I really like the manifestation journal idea. I’ve got so many notebooks just because I love stationary. Another way I use mine is my “therapy book” because I can’t afford to go to therapy so I talk to my journal like it was my therapist and try and work through things myself.

      Insurance wants to see receipts, date purchase and price paid. For jewelry they want photos of the item And you wearing it.
      Found out the hard way after a burglary. Of course an appraisal and each item insured is better. More recent the appraisal the better
      Good luck in gift items because people don't like telling what they paid

First thing I would love to do with a notebook is to make a vision book of everything I want to achieve in 2019.

    Yes! I picked out a notebook to use for my shopping lists, which I presently jot on scraps of paper and then lose and need to recreate and then immediately find again. It’s a five subject ½ size spiral notebook with a folder between each section of pages. The pockets are perfect for those coupons I get in the mail which I can never find when I’m heading to that store. The pages are handily perforated at the edge so I can tear out the list and easily pull off the straggly bits.
    Here’s the thing. I don’t have a pretty notebook collection, I have an ugly notebook collection. I have been stocking up every year at back-to-school when they are like 50 cents. But! Craft paper is less than a dollar per sheet. So I got some floral paper (and mermaid paper!) and covered the plain cover with gorgeousness.
    I also just started a lettering practice book in a composition notebook thanks to you. The bleed-through with my markers is horrific, but I am not bothered by only lettering the front of each page. It’s a practice book, not a worry book.
    Fantastic ideas! Thank you for this video!

    Hi, Sarra. I’m a pretty new subbie to your channel and have been enjoying your videos. I’ll be diving into the world of being an indie author. I’ve always been a traditionalist in many things but like you always say, the freedom to do as you please is very attractive. Anyway, one thing I use several of my notebooks for is making character journals. A character journal is where you basically write the diary of a character. You are writing as that character. I also love having a visual clue of what a certain character looks like, so I will get into my Sims game and make a Sim of that character. I print off a picture of them from my Sims game and put it in the front of the journal. This is very helpful for me and is a source of great inspiration.

I am also going to do a swatch section in my planner of all (ALL) my pens, markers, etc. it may take one other book to do that with because I am considering including the watercolor paints I use for journaling backgrounds. So many ideas!!! Thank you for providing the inspiration - and happy solstice!!! 💜

    Thanks for the great ideas! I really need to start some of them. The dream journal will be very interesting, other journals are just needed to keep me on the right path! Thanks for your time!!!

    Yes! Looking forward to joining your challenge and finally using my "too pretty to use" notebooks. I already use notebooks for writing research, note taking on novels being read, brainstorming, and writing craft and course notes. What I am looking forward to implementing are notebooks for visualization, manifestation, projects, and resuming my gratitude journal. This was a terrific video to start the new year. Thanks a bunch, Sarra! Merry Christmas

  • @michmonk
    @michmonk Před 5 lety +1

    I like this idea of the challenge. I plan to use it for the list of books that I'm reading in the new genre that I'm writing. Starting over feels like a lot to do and learn like what are the classics and popular gems of the genre, listing what appeals or doesn't appeal to me with each story, etc. A notebook dedicated to that genre and my embrace of it would be ideal.

  • @readwriteinspire
    @readwriteinspire Před 5 lety +1

    These are fantastic ideas and I do follow many of them. :) I have different notebooks for different stuff. So, I'm unsure if I can complete an entire notebook every month but I'm going to give it a shot. 😊

  • @sydneyeads8367
    @sydneyeads8367 Před 5 lety +1

    I am a college student doing my prerequisites for nursing school. I am two classes away from being able to test and apply. I love your idea of a notebook for manifestation. It’s been my dream to be a nurse since I can remember. I’ve never thought to create a dream board for just nursing. I can’t wait to get it started.

    Hi Sarra, your challenge sounds pretty interesting. I have never filled the whole notebook (I only use normal, school notebooks), but after watching few, different videos, I want to give it a chance. I plan to write down my language learning routine, yoga journal and notes from different courses that I'm taking. Also, I'm going to help my younger brother with keeping his own learning journal. One more thing, thank you for opening the giveaway to your international fans. It means a lot to me, because I know how much the package costs.

    This was a great video, not just for filling notebooks, but ideas in general. I already have a notebook dedicated to book reading/reviewing that I started, labelled and never wrote in. I also have other notebooks waiting for me (I love notebooks and office supplies). I'm definitely joining the challenge.

    Love this challenge!!! Every December I look around at all my “hoarding” and declare I will not have this stacks and piles and such by the next December.......and now I will not for certain next December as a I take on this challenge with you. I shall eliminate 1/12 of my office and planning supplies each month....no buying more while I sit and bask (stress out) in the excess. As for specifically notebooks, I plan to have one in my purse all year for jotting things down and maintaining a simple calendar and some forward planning. On the back page I made some simple “calling cards” that I-can tear out to give people my phone number and email. Love the challenge!!!

    I am definitely joining this challenge! One idea I'd like to share: a favorite songs notebook. You could copy down the lyrics of your favorite songs or just make a list of them. My own personal twist to this: I pretend that my favorite songs are written by my characters, so I write the lyrics down as if I am the character who has "written" that particular song. I use colored pens to represent each "singer's" part and label the verses, chorus, bridge, etc. This is just a fun project I started for myself recently. So, I guess my first notebook to fill for the challenge will be this one!
