It's really silly, I know, but I have endless scraps of paper. I really ought to designate a few notebooks for different purposes and really use them. I've managed to get into using my (appointments type) diary regularly & enjoy having things written down. Hmm.<br />Thanks for the push, and for showing your different types of notebook :)Dichohechohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531475574269492154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-52199470288120254132013-02-25T07:58:41.227+00:002013-02-25T07:58:41.227+00:00I love stationary!

Haha!! <br />I've never been very good at keeping a diary, I've tried writing it and doing on a computer but for some reason it's always seemed a bit if a chore! I never even used to keep an appointments diary as I was pretty good at holding it in my head but I have a filofax at work (even then I usually know what appointments I have at what time the next day it's the ones months in advance I forget! Although a few of them I know too!) <br />I considered a blog planner as my filofax is just work but as I'm already lugging that around I'm trying to figure out who to use my filofax as an all encompassing work related/personal life/blog planning machine!<br /><br />I haven't managed it yet.<br /><br />Jenni xxJenni https://www.blogger.com/profile/04320238130834118563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-11380568767813303392013-02-22T22:22:07.177+00:002013-02-22T22:22:07.177+00:00I've always wished I was the type of person to...I've always wished I was the type of person to maintain a diary. I just can't. I've tried so many times. The closest I can get is blogging, which I am sporadic at anyway! I only just about keep on top of my filofax thing, with the briefest of notes!<br /><br />Wouldnt it be amazing if in 300 years time or so your diaries get found and published and you're like the female version of Pepys!

If I don't write things on my daily to-do list, they never get done. <br /><br />I've kept a diary since I was 14. When I was in college, one of my history professors said to the class, "I hope you're all fulfilling your obligation to create primary sources by keeping a journal." I can't imagine mine would interest anyone but me, and sometimes I wonder how much sleep I've given up over the years because I can't go to sleep without writing, but it's far too much of a habit to ever stop.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14860533839632830595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-18945463865797215722013-02-21T21:29:32.887+00:002013-02-21T21:29:32.887+00:00Impressive organisation, i really need to improve ...Impressive organisation, i really need to improve on this!thriftylilpixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15822614825306891270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-18671361352746959332013-02-21T08:09:02.137+00:002013-02-21T08:09:02.137+00:00I love a notebook.

In an effort to curtail my notebook habit I left a particularly gorgeous one on the shelf one Saturday and then made a trip back into town on the Sunday morning specifically to buy it!

I do think it's slightly cheating, but then I'm only cheating myself (and all that crap) and like you say I like to see I have done other things!Pink Haired Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516054022997327474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-78114146412365084382013-02-20T18:10:48.408+00:002013-02-20T18:10:48.408+00:00I love this post : ) I wouldn't consider mysel...I love this post : ) I wouldn't consider myself much of a diary keeper or list writer. I tried a diary during my late teens/early 20's (the wild and most exciting years to write about!), but never kept it up. When I worked in London in 2001 for a few months, I kept one and just found it recently. It was soooo funny to read back. There were lots of things I'd forgotten, so I was glad I'd written it at the time. I would always use a lined book though, so I'm intrigued to know why you prefer blank?<br /><br />For the past year or so, I've properly written in a notebook for my blog. I jot down ideas, to-do lists (as well as general day to day to-do) and also for The Shoe Girl Diaries, I write the image numbers I want to use as I'm flicking through them, then cross them off when I've edited them (all very fulfilling!). When I get really stressed, I do find it helps to be able to write down what needs done and start prioritising.

For they are wonderful and ensure that everything in our lives is awesome and goes according to PLAN.<br /><br />And we may feel like we have actually achieved things.<br /><br />Do you write things on that you've already done and cross them off? I totally do that and some would say that's cheating but actually it means at the end of the day when I can't work out why I didn't do the things initially on my list, I can see why by the things I added later.<br /><br />I have just been introduced to One Note on Windows at work and I am a woman possessed. Unfortunately it is a tick off rather than a cross through, which I agree is much more satisfying, but it offers me the ability to do prioritised lists and then sync it with other things - like my Outlook calendar. So I can take notes and actions in a meeting and then email them straight to the person who organised the meeting with one click of a button.<br /><br />Stop talking now Becky.The Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04550480429586819194noreply@blogger.com
