I am always interested in what people are using their notebooks for. I often find that many people are using multiples for different topics.

I have a Traveller's Notebook Standard size that has three inserts. I use two of the inserts as bullet journals for work / daily life logging and my future log. The third insert is a standard long-form journal that I write in mostly daily.

I have a Passport size Traveller's Notebook with two inserts that I use as a wallet. The inserts are my gaming log where I take notes while playing whatever video games I am currently playing, and the other is just for catch-all like meeting notes, a bullet journal log for on the go, lists, thoughts etc.

I have a Hobonichi that I put just a daily log in of what I did on a particular day, and I will collect business cards or stickers from places I go an tape them in on the appropriate days. I am not a scrapbooker, but I find that this creates a fun little look through my life as I occasionally go back through old journals.

I supplement all of this with digital notes and a ToDoist account. I am a producer in the video games industry and have a lot of moving parts, so going all paper just won't work for me. But I love having this hybrid setup as I tend to remember a lot more when I write things down.

How are you using your notebooks?

I use a lined pocket sized one for quick reminders or todos at work and home. Field notes brand, with an EF nib pen.

I'm relearning hiragana and katakana, and I use a larger Black & Red notebook for this. I also use a M nib for this purpose.

Nice! I really like Field Notes books, they were the first ones I started using when I got into carrying notebooks with me. I found that the ghosting was too much for me with fountain pens, so I ditched them a while ago. What pens are you using?

I really need to practice my hiragana and katakana. I rarely have to write Japanese but lately I have been filling out so many forms that I really need to re-learn to make my life easier haha.

Understandable. The Field Notes only works well for me specifically with the EF nib. Otherwise, with a larger one, it'd be a no go.

I'm using a Pilot Vanishing Point on the go, and a Majohn A2 for my Japanese practice.
