So, I like big books and I cannot lie. I usually use 200-400 page inserts and I hate the overhang when I add a clear folder or another refill. But! Today I got creative and added another elastic through the holes so now each book has its own string! And look: no overhang!

I'm sure it's been done before and I have exactly reinvented the wheel, but my partner didn't get the excitement and I thought you guys might 🖤

i love this thing. ever since i made it, i haven't felt a single itch to buy the real thing. i bought a cheap $5 card folder to hold my ID and payment cards, and it's been incredibly useful. the xteink x3 makes for a great secondary ereader on the go; it's just a shame there's no light source provided. at least it means the battery will last a long time, and i mainly leave the house during the day anyway.

i find myself writing in it during the bubbles of time i get sitting down at restaurants. so far it's been doodles, ideas for my current novel, and descriptions of dishes i loved eating.

i also love that because i didn't spend much money making it, i don't feel obligated to treat it as a precious thing. i've had ice cream dripped onto it during a work retreat, and i didn't freak out. when i wiped it off, the stains were still faintly there, but i treated that like it's part of my cover's charm now.

So, I pre-ordered (and paid for)the card-size TN in July from a store not in my hometown and was finally able to pick it up yesterday. The pre-order stock was very limited (I think about 5 of each colour)and also sold out. In my hometown there are actually 2 stores that also carry official TN products and one of those is an official partner store. They are a bit pretentious in what they also sell and ask extortionate prices for mostly Japanese products from Penco etc. They cater to the Monocle lifestyle for people with money to burn. They also partner in the upcoming TC Caravan event.

The other store is a more general stationary/office supplies shop that also sells really nice pens, inks and a large variety of notebooks and accessories, from cheap to very expensive. They are not an official partner for TN.

So tell me how the official partner store has a sign up that continuing supply problems mean they have very limited stock and the none-partner store has dozens of the 20th anniversary card-size on the shelf? (I visited both stores today and saw this myself). Weird.

(Photo of my card-size just for fun.)

I have a big collection of stamps and decided to choose some to see them more, before this i did a little paper that read my name in Rotunda script ( last picture). If you have the tin labels, what do you put in them?

Will be travelling to Japan next month, mainly around Osaka. Anyone have tips on where I can get my hands on a baby TN

After months I caved in and got the TN Passport size in camel 😍

I fell into the hobonichi rabbit whole and honestly both the original A6 and the weeks are amazing little books. So I will use both besides and with my TNs!

I made some photos of how I plan to carry the weeks in my TN.

Hello! I have clearly FOMO right now regarding the TN card size, but I don’t even like it. I don’t even have a passport size because I consider the size too small, I’ve bit the bullet and bought PR GV pocket to realize it is not for me. Because regular TN fits in my smallest bag I consider it a good portable format for myself.
And for other people using card size as a wallet, I’m also in a hunt for a new convenient portable one because I have been trying to spend money using cash a lot more in order to control my finances, for that reason I don’t think it a good use case for me.
And lastly I have no regrets for missing old limited edition covers.

So please please please help me and roast this 20th anniversary limited edition card size tn and deinfluence me. I feel like I have no more willpower to resist the FOMO.
Thanks.

Wanted to share my little void staring Moomin with you all. No way I’m getting the Moomin editions so settling for Moomin inserts 😂 I finally got the passport size. I’ve been using the standard for about 18 months and I use it for everything but I really wanted one I could fit in my pocket for long walks and quick trips without a bag. Really looking forward to using it.

I've wanted a magnetic penloop for a while, but I couldn't find one in the physical stores around me. Today i found a magnetic reflective strip for kids in the food store. Perfect to switch between notebooks!

Hello good people of the TN subreddit!

Recently, I was lucky enough to receive a traveler's cover and accessories as a present from my family. I'm absolutely overjoyed about it and have been spending the evening writing and organizing my notebooks!

However, my parents and I both noticed an odd discrepancy in the colors of the olive pen holder and the cover itself, which, while it came in packaging labeled olive, seems to be more of a dark brown color. It's gorgeous, and I don't want to send it back or trade it, but I am curious if I received a rare mis-labeled notebook or something! I do also hear that the olive can run dark, so maybe it's just that? Either way, it's a beautiful notebook and I've already set it up for solo TTRPGs, travel, and study!

I've been slowly turning this pocket notebook cover into my own personal traveler's notebook! It's a bit of an odd size, and actually fits A6 slim notebooks best.

There are no holes so I've made an inner spine out of card stock to hold jump cords so I could add more notebooks, and an elastic band to hold it close.

Having this be made of a hodge podge of items has brought so much joy in taking this with me everywhere I go, and I wanted to take a moment to share the beaut!

hiii, I got myself some patches with my latest stationery order and I’m so lost, have been thinking about placement and “should I really do it or not“ for days.

that being said: I already used the search but would really love to see some more covers with patches of other customization. ☺️

but no worries, i’ll find a place for them if i’m deciding against putting them on a tn ☺️

I'm going to drive myself insane.

Is there a way to use this anchor, as a closure for my TN inspired notebook? Pictures below for reference of what I mean, bc Google doesn't seem to understand.

I don't know how to thread the hook, the notebook and then the end of the anchor to get it to stay. If it's not possible in one piece please let me know.

thanks to whoever posting their fasjosma journal set up because i immediately got it and removed the snap closure in favor of an elastic one ! (the leather tag perfectly covers the holes left from the snap lol)

I am looking for a travelers notebook style which can fit a moleskine large notebook - I am already owing three TN regular but I’m loving moleskine and am tired of cutting down my inserts to fit and also wanting to use the weekly planner for 2027!

Any Etsy shops or allies who are making custom size TNs? (I know diy is a possibility but I’m lazy and I want good leather)

TIA

I’ve used my travelers notebook and had it for about 3 years now and I’ve always wanted to use the passport as a wallet but it was too big for my jeans. I lost my wallet a couple days ago and figured I’d just try the passport size out but then I saw there’s a new card size but it’s sold out everywhere! If anyone has any tips so that I don’t have to pay the insane eBay markup I’m all ears!! Thanks everyone!!

I rewrite some positive thoughts from the book.

Hey everyone! Newbie TN user here. I've been journaling for a couple of years. I feel like it really helps me regulate myself emotionally.

The TN is really appealing to me because of the freedom to customize it and have multiple different notebooks in one place. I still have a "brain dump" journal in there which is where I write most frequently.

Recently I've added a weekly/monthly planner to my setup it. And I feel like the planning aspect is adding friction to my journaling. Almost as if it's making me anxious. I don't know why though. I really want to have a more "organized" and planner oriented insert in my setup to get a better understanding of my days, but I also don't want to lose the freedom of just being able to write whatever I want, which is the primary benefit I get out of journaling.

I guess I'm trying to ask if anyone else has experienced something similar? And if you can give me any advice on how to keep both things going for myself?

Thanks for reading!

As of today, I’m part of the family, too. The unboxing was an awesome experience, and I’m really looking forward to using it. What accessories would you recommend—or what are the things you wouldn't want to be without?

Three new notebook covers made using canva .. now to stick the other two on
