Uses For A Moleskine Notebook: #1 - Personal Journal
Journaling, Notebooks June 2nd, 2007I’m starting to accrue a bit of a collection of Moleskine notebooks and it occurred to me that I may never get around to using them all. That got me thinking about all the different ways I could use them and this blog post was the result. What will follow is 52 posts on different ways that you can use your Moleskine notebook.
The #1 position on my Uses For A Moleskine Notebook list is taken by the Personal Journal. This is what I use my current Moleskines for. They contain daily what’s happening entries, responses to journal writing prompts, pasted in items such as movie tickets and programme clippings and anything else I feel like adding. As well as creating an historical record, journal writing is a great outlet for your day to day worries.
Moleskine’s make great journals, the paper is lovely to write on, the notebooks are sturdy and hardwearing and the back pocket is a great place to tuck mementos. I also love the size, the pocket Moleskine’s fit nicely in a handbag or pocket so you can take them anywhere. That said though, I have to admit that my next journal is a large sized one - all that more space to journal in.
There are some great resources on the web for starting your own personal journal. Here are a handful of sites to get you started:
