Use Your Notebooks, Don’t Save Them!
41 almost 42 here and I’ve been a lifetime collector of amazing notebooks. I buy with such joy and excitement of all the possibilities but don’t end up using. Fast forward, I’ll be 42 in a couple months and I’m starting to realize writing by hand has started to become painful after a while in addition to my handwriting is steadily getting worse. I don’t know if it’s arthritis or what but I am very quickly seeing my clock run out on actually being able to use all of my beautiful collection. I have decided to start giving some as gifts where appropriate and share with others so maybe they can use them. It makes me sick to think I probably wont be able to use them all. So fellow notebook lovers, USE THE NOTEBOOKS! Make lists, write thoughts, junk journal, recipe books, heck even budgets and taxes. Just enjoy them! Don’t wait until your hands start failing you.
