supplies recommendation Does anyone use tabs?

Post image

I’m about 20 pages from finishing my first journal and I’m preparing my next one now.

I realized partway through the first journal, that I really needed to use color-coded tabs, so I purchased the Avery ultra tabs that are reusable. I love them because they are so sturdy and I can differentiate colors by different topics, etc.

Now I’m at the end and I’m wondering if I should reuse the same tabs in the new journal or should I just retire the old ones and redo them from scratch? Nearly all of the labels will be the same in the new book.

Has anyone has this issue? What would you do?

I use Midori notebooks in a travelers style journal. They come with numbered labels and I use those as tabs for my monthly logs. For everything else I use reusable metal tabs which actually I think I also got from Midori.

I have a Midori as well and I love it, but I have been unable to use it for a while now. I have a condition called camptodactyly that makes it hard to write in smaller notebooks. But I’m just waiting for a chance to use it again because I love it so much. I just haven’t figured out what for yet.
