How I got myself out of a journaling slump ☀️ tools & ideas to try

[@notablyemily]

Hi all! Apologies for the almost two month hiatus 🥲 My fiancé and I bought our first home about 6 weeks ago, and between that and wedding planning it's been difficult to film! I've missed posting and am aiming to get back to regular uploads soon

The idea with the notecards are so great!!! I'm searching for some sort of commonplace for quite a long time and this sounds just like the one, I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!!

[@notablyemily]

I'm so glad it is helpful! I hope it works well for you 😁

The good thing about notebooks is that they’ll always be there for you when you need them. I really love my passport TN. I journal and bullet journal in mine!

[@notablyemily]

Yes I totally agree! The passport is such a cute size

I love this convo! I’ve been really feeling stuck, but not wanting to buy anything new or completely change my system because I know it works when I’m in the mood 😂 I’ve been commonplacing in rings which is so nice - it combines the flexibility of notecards but keeps them in one “book”!

[@notablyemily]

Ahhh feeling stuck is so hard! Sometimes you just really aren’t in the mood and it’s frustrating 😅. Commonplacing in rings is smart!! Do you also archive pages in ring binders too??

[@stationery-and-stories]

@@notablyemily I do! I use a smaller archive binder for reading-related pages, then another for everything else. I’ve only had it for a year so I don’t have a crazy amount yet so might change it up down the road but works for now!

@llisonp sounds like a great system so far!! 🤩

love this

[@notablyemily]

Thank you! The ones I made are 80lb cardstock that I printed a dot grid onto! A lot of people use regular index cards but I wanted mine to be more fountain pen friendly :)
