Idk… I think you have a great thing going! I want to say that maybe you should keep it this way… I personally see nothing wrong with several notebooks! ❤️

Before I knew this was an ask for help I thought- I love how many notebooks they have. It makes complete and total sense to me- and I’m jealous that my own journals aren’t more compartmentalized for easy recollecting and browsing. Keep doing you!!

Also I have been putting off demon copperhead because I resent how popular it is. But ok. You convinced me!!

look, that's why it took me 2 years to start, but it captivated me, and I find a way to work it into basically every conversation I'm having since I finished it. It's obviously gritty and sad at times which I expected, but it is so thought-provoking, which surprised me.

For me it's been easiest to keep up with just the one! But I do also have a terrible habit of buying cute notebooks and leaving them empty.

Oh yes we have indeed discussed this over a morning beverage. My teaching notebook is my favorite however I will only put lessons in it that are well baked so I have another notebook for brainstorming for that notebook. The teaching notebook is a black spiral notebook with thick enough paper that I can write double sided.

I just started a new notebook while on vacation all about my “lessons from Hwy one”. It is thin, tight lined with no spirals and fits easy anywhere. The notebook itself has set the tone for my writing.
