The Journal of My Dreams

The day I discovered Traveler's Journal.

I am probably too late in life but I just found out about Traveler's Journal LAST YEAR and I am IN LOVE! Only notebooks and stationary fanatics will probably understand my excitement right now but if you're reading this, you're probably a fellow journaler. Hello! And welcome to my rambling about how good this notebook concept is and why this is the journal of my dreams!

Bette explains what a Traveler's Notebook so much better than how I would explain it.

"Simply put, a traveler's notebook, as demonstrated above, is a piece of leather cut to size, with an elastic strung through the middle, allowing you to slip a notebook inbetween. Another elastic closes the leather, with the notebook inside, and protects its contents. "

Why I love it so much!

Notebook Inserts are removable. I love how versatile it is because of how you can easily insert and remove notebook inserts into the leather cover. If you desire to focus on writing on one specific notebook insert, you can easily remove it and insert it back on when you're done.

Sectioned by Notebook. I don't know about you but I've been journaling ever since I was in High School and I've collected a handful of notebooks. All different shapes and sizes and it get's hard to keep all of them. I tried sectioning them to different "subjects" to make the most out of the notebooks but I would run out of space on some subjects and barely use some. The traveler's notebook allows me to section each notebook towards a specific "subject" and when I've filled the whole notebook, it's easy to switch it to a new one without having to get rid of the whole notebook. IT'S FABULOUS!

Accessories. You can find notebook inserts as well as folders, pockets and even a pencil case to attach to your traveler's notebook.

There's a detailed show and tell on my video if you want to check it out.

Traveler's Notebook size A5

Accessories. I have a pencil case and a folder insert on my TN (Traveler's Notebook)

Notebook 1. My journal notebook. It's where I write my day entry, prayers, memories I want to remember, things I learned, pretty much anything I would write on a journal, this is where I would write it. I also do scrapbooking/collage/junk journaling on some pages.

Notebook 2. My Lifestyle Notebook. It's where I write about my daily habits, habit tracker, mood tracker, lifestyle goals, self care tips, Non-toxic No-Waste Brand List, Recipes, Bible Study notes, etc.

Notebook 3. My Multi-Passion (Professional) Notebook. It's where I keep everything that inspires me about my many pursuits and the legacy I want to build. It's where I would re-visit my purpose in life, write about ideas on videos to make and blogs to write.

Notebook 4. DIY TO DO Weekly Calendar. My weekly calendar is separated into 3 categories: personal, professional/work, church. Categorizing my To Do List helps me keep track of things better and prioritize properly.

Notebook 5. My Finance Notebook. It's where I keep my budgeting plans, expense tracker, etc. I think this notebook is self explanatory.

Notebook 6. My Brain Dump Notebook. Brains dump is where I dump ideas, notes, etc. either to be organized later on or discarded.

This is all I have in my TN and so far it is working PERFECTLY for me.

I hope you find this blogpost helpful or inspiring and I hope you would consider journaling. If you do, try the Traveler's Journal Set up!
