Hi all! Apologies for the almost two month hiatus 🥲 My fiancé and I bought our first home about 6 weeks ago, and between that and wedding planning it's been difficult to film! I've missed posting and am aiming to get back to regular uploads soon

[@llisonp]

I love this convo! I’ve been really feeling stuck, but not wanting to buy anything new or completely change my system because I know it works when I’m in the mood 😂
I’ve been commonplacing in rings which is so nice - it combines the flexibility of notecards but keeps them in one “book”!

[@notablyemily]

Ahhh feeling stuck is so hard! Sometimes you just really aren’t in the mood and it’s frustrating 😅. Commonplacing in rings is smart!! Do you also archive pages in ring binders too??

[@llisonp]

@@notablyemily I do! I use a smaller archive binder for reading-related pages, then another for everything else. I’ve only had it for a year so I don’t have a crazy amount yet so might change it up down the road but works for now!

[@notablyemily]

@llisonp sounds like a great system so far!! 🤩

[@walkingexercise5375]

Love the note card ideas!

[@ghostyplans]

The good thing about notebooks is that they’ll always be there for you when you need them.
I really love my passport TN. I journal and bullet journal in mine!

[@notablyemily]

Yes I totally agree! The passport is such a cute size

[@anieundihrekrumel8427]

The idea with the notecards are so great!!! I'm searching for some sort of commonplace for quite a long time and this sounds just like the one, I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!!

[@notablyemily]

I'm so glad it is helpful! I hope it works well for you 😁

CANT WAIT TO WATCH THIS I NEED IT

[@heartmusingswithcrystal2042]

love this

[@notablyemily]

Thank you! The ones I made are 80lb cardstock that I printed a dot grid onto! A lot of people use regular index cards but I wanted mine to be more fountain pen friendly :)
