Notepads etc

pinkchocoholic

I have lots of notepads that haven't been used

I have one that I write things on like if I get telephone appointments, to remember what was said (especially if it's to do with a service I'm currently using so I can keep a copy of what was agreed / talked about)

I have another one which I'm using to write poetry in  (it's a beautiful pink with a golden foiled butterfly on)

I have a A5 sketchpad brand new, which I'm going to use to draw / colour in when I go to my group on Mondays (they do different things like art, crafts, singing, knitting/sewing, jigsaws - only been once but looking forward to getting my drawing skills improved even if it's such a bit and I tried the singing which was okay, but not sure about)

Just wondering what other people do with notepads etc they have - or ideas for how to use notepads etc. 

Sorry for rambling etc. 

  • I have a notebook(s) for the dinners each week. I have the initials of the day down the side, then make a plan of what to have for each day of the week, and then based off this my husband makes his shopping list.  I also make a tiny note on the day if either child is having a packed lunch or a school meal, and if so what, so I don't accidentally plan something for dinner that is too similar to their lunch. 

    I will sometimes mix them around if say I've forgotten to take something out the freezer or if I need to switch for something easier due to low energy. If I do, I tend to update it with little arrows showing things being moved around so it is accurate. That way I can look back and not have things too often (and risk getting bored of it), and can make extra then freeze portions and give us a break between having the left overs (my husband isn't as keen on having things two days in a row). 

    Last year my mum got me a new one that said 'dinners on it', though I've not started using it yet.

  • I use notebooks for different purposes and always have a few 'in stock':

    1. daily journal - exercises in stoic philosophy, based on Ryan Holiday's The Daily Stoic.

    2. my 'to do' lists - some items for every day

    3. shopping lists

    4.  a 'notes for keeping' book

    5. a book for notes when I'm writing a book [separate notebooks for each one]

    6. a list of books I've read or heard about and want to read - take this to the library every week to order one

  • I used to write things down as bottled things up. Now I'd chucked them.

    I would like to do journaling like when on vacation or in general. 

    I've got a sketch pad but useless at drawing. I could try to junk journal with it.

    Facebook groups found it bit fancy for me and beyond my level. 

    Your group sounds amazing! 

    Skipping a few group meetings as its crafts not interested in. 

    July is the summer break. 

    Hopefully I'll go to the barbecue in August.
