Notebook Ideas

Did you know we sell customized notebooks? If you don’t necessarily need a weekly planner but still need a place to keep everything organized, our notebooks are an excellent option! Here are a few ways you could use our notebook pages to make a customized notebook:

BULLET JOURNAL

Are you an avid bullet journaler? There are a lot of excellent options for bullet journals, but if you’re still finding yourself making a few tweaks to what you can find, try making yourself a customized bullet journal! We have dotted, grid, lined or blank pages to create your index, future log, daily and monthly logs. You could also use our Undated Calendar or Year-at-a-Glance pages for your monthly or yearly planning. Our Bucket List, Reading List, To-Do list, or Fillable List pages could be added to the end of your bullet journal for keeping track of all of your goals.

MEMORABILIA RECIPE BOOK

Do you have a bunch of recipes stacked in an unorganized pile or stuffed into unattractive binders? Instead, you could make a customized notebook to create a memorabilia recipe book that will become a family heirloom! Our Recipe pages are perfect for hand-written family recipes. You could also add lined pages for writing stories about your family or your ancestors. Consider adding blank pages to include photos or illustrations.

BABY MEMORY NOTEBOOK

There are so many lovely options for baby books, but our notebooks will give you the chance to customize the types, amounts, and order of the pages in your baby book. Our Baby Charts will help you keep track of all those feedings and diaper changes during the foggy newborn stage and will be a wild memory to look back on. You could also add lined pages for journaling and blank pages for photos or handprints. Undated Calendar pages or Year-at-a-Glance pages can help you track important milestones.

SOCIAL MEDIA PLANNING

Whether you work by yourself or with a team, customizing a notebook can really help organize your social media strategy. Place a Year-at-a-Glance page at the beginning of your notebook to map out your overall plan. Use our Social Media pages to plan and track your schedule of content. You could add a Password Tracker page to keep tabs on all the info for your different accounts. Our Storyboard pages would be an excellent addition to give yourself a space to plan out photos. And of course, be sure to add Idea pages for brainstorming and To-Do lists for all your action items.

MENTAL HEALTH JOURNAL

If you need a place to focus on yourself, we have a lot of helpful pages you could use to create a custom journal for your mental health. Our Goals page can help you track daily, weekly, monthly or yearly goals. You could add Reflections pages to give yourself a space to ponder and journal. The Mood and Wellness pages are helpful for tracking your physical, emotional, and mental health and pinpointing potential stressors. Our Assignments page could be used to help you stay on top of your homework from your therapist. You could also add lined pages for journaling and a Bucket List or Reading List for the things you’d like to do or read to uplift and inspire you.

SKETCHBOOK

Did you know our paper is 80# Mohawk? It’s an ideal weight and tooth to hold ink but it’s also an excellent choice for art. It does beautifully with a wide range of mediums—even watercolor—making our notebooks a fantastic choice for a customized sketchbook. Add blank pages for sketching or dot pages for a mini mood board. You could use our Storyboard pages for drawing out thumbnails and ideas or for planning out video sequences. Place a Bucket List or two at the end to keep track of all the inspiring things you want to try to boost your creativity.

FREELANCE NOTEBOOK

Our wide range of page options makes our notebooks perfect for any freelancer! Our Project pages can help you organize budget, timelines, and details for each client. Our Freelance Finance page is excellent for tracking all of the details for estimates and expenses for different jobs. You could even add a Budget page to balance the overall finances of your business. Beyond finances, our Ideas and Storyboard pages are excellent for brainstorming sessions. If you’re a musician, our staff pages are perfect for composing. If you’re a designer or maker, you can use sections of your notebook for sketching, designing patterns (our grid pages are great for designing quilts or knitting patterns!) or keeping an inventory of supplies—like a massive fabric or yarn stash. :)
