![]() On weekends or whenever I am off work (as I am this week, woo-hoo!!), I do spend more time on this and love it. ![]() Of course my days are scattered with “informal” break sessions of browsing the net, reading news, or sometimes staring into empty space… So, if an idea hits, or I come across an interesting photo in the news article, I make a quick sketch. Of course no one can work and study non-stop. What makes it work is the realization that I “slack” diligently throughout the work day. I mean, I practically live at the hospital and come home only to sleep. Keeping up with this during the week on work days has been challenging. ^^) And because there is nothing more than humans that I enjoy drawing, they’re filled with various faces and poses. (I picked my best ones for the photo shoot here… Many are just simple line sketches. Basically, I made a commitment to draw something on it each day. Is it a sketch book? Is it an art journal? Who cares what it’s called. Now that I no longer needed a daily planner, I had to come up with an alternate purpose for it in order to make peace with blowing those precious 33 bucks. I was really looking forward to the new year and was ready to put it to a good use. Ok, not too proud of this but I had made an impulse purchase of Hobonichi Techo late last year. And I love how i can just jot down notes (even lengthy notes) without having to pull out a separate notebook. There is no confinement of the space you write as much or as little as you need to according to each day’s needs. This is what I love the most about bullet journaling - flexibility. I didn’t want to keep changing the journal too often, since I keep a lot of valuable notes that should be useful for a long time.ĭaily notes and tasks. Supposedly it has 365 pages but its thickness is not even 15mm! You can see the notebook in the picture above - the black B6-size notebook just under Hobonichi Techo. ![]() It’s not exactly tomoe river paper but almost as thin. I upgraded the notebook to Stalogy 365 Notebook. I am thoroughly enjoying its flexibility and comprehensive coverage of all my needs. With A6 or A5, it probably wouldn’t add much, but the A4 size was significantly heavier for me when it has suede material inside compared to the one with wool felt. The brown cover with grey suede inside material ended up going to my husband, and I decided to stick with an original size A4 (which wasn’t as big as I thought it was once I got used to it) with a black leather cover and “magnolia” felt inside. Main reason for the switch was weight. Last year, I had a post about custom A4 Roterfaden. This post took longer than I planned but I wanted to start the first post of the new year with how my stationery “everyday carry” items evolved since when I started this blog last year.
