my first journal (moleskine) in 2014 and use it for a year
My first journal is a mess that even my index is total mess, but i thought about that my journal is personal and only i can read it so just let it be but later on it become difficult to look what i was looking for. i first write with it with pencil so if i get wrong i would just have to erase it.its a free notebook. but sometimes i want to write something that i cannot write because its too small, like writing a diary/journal
That is when i became obsessed to journal type books and found out about Midori Travelers Notebook, the price is expensive for my budgeted notebooks but i have decided that i will only use this kind of notebook all-through out (planner, journal, list, to-do, vocabulary,quotes, etc ). And good thing is that there is a store who is selling it here in the Phillippines. I literally think this through because spending PHP3000 and not using it is a waste of money, and decided that if i still want it after a year i will buy it. All those months i just browse about MTN their ideas on how they use it and shops where i can buy it a little cheaply.
My First bought Midori Travelers Notebook
Then after a year i decided to buy the original MTN cover and just make the inserts or buy them on IG. Because i noticed the difference of the original MTN cover to a fauxdori in websites and loved the softness and how it easily bends to the inserts and its one time use. Unlike the insert which i had to buy several times for a new paper, so that is why i decided to just bought it somewhere cheap or just do it like any craftees out there.
after i bought it i don't use it right away, i think what i want to write it on and where (inserts) will i put it. i watched youtube several times and look in pinterest for ideas. So my MTN is just based on ideas i have found in the websites and just compiled it as to one. Im not an artsy type of gal and have NO creativity in me so that is why this Review: Midori Traveler's Notebook (A Man's Perspective) is is the right kind for me.
Right now i am loving my MTN, its big compared to my notebook before but it holds everything and i dont have to own several notebooks all at once. Just one notebook is enough, im holding 5 inserts in my MTN (monthly planning, journal, to-do list, book list, ds games list, words, commonplace book, ) Here are my inserts.
My first insert the zipper insert by midori, This is where i put all my stickers, ruler and sticky notes. so if i need to write outside i dont have to carry all the craft things with me. I dont put my washi tapes here because i dont like to bend them in a carton paper. On the other side of the insert are the printed journal challenge i found on pinteresr, ideas on journalling if im unable to write or choose a topic on that day.
The second insert is a Yearly / Monthly planner, this is the inserts which i will be needing a lot and renewing everytime.
i put the month before (right) and distribute it day by day if i did something (left)
I also keep track of my water intake (because 5-8 glasses a day is good for your health) and my monthly visits, as you can see in the legend
Vocabulary words i dont know
On My Next insert i combine the words that i searched on the dictionary and a commonplace book, a page where passages, quotes, poem, etc that i found interesting and worth meaning.
Commonplace Book
on my another insert is my journal where i write as a diary or if i dont have anything i write i just take a journal challenge that i take on pinterest. And on my last insert is my list, to do list and anyhting i want to write in out of the blue,
My Books to Read (i think its a 10-15 pages reserved for this list).
Websites or blogs i visit and surf and my DS Games list which is also important to me
How my Index page looks like in each of the inserts, this is far more organized compared to the index i have before
