If you are anything like me, then you probably get great pleasure out of finding out how other people use their Midori Traveler's Notebooks. So I have decided to share with you a few ideas...
The GREAT thing about Midori Traveler's Notebooks...
...is that you can refill them with notebook refills that are cheap to buy and easy to make yourself.
If you make your own you can make your notebook refills with any number of pages to suit your individual needs. The less pages you decide to have in each notebook refill, the more refills you can fit into your TN and the quicker you can get through each notebook – which personally I find quite satisfying :)
It's also convenient if you're still getting used to your Midori TN, and you're still not entirely sure how you want to use it. You can try out different refill designs for a short time without feeling anxious about waste.
TN refill ideas
There must be an infinite number of ways you can use your TN refills.
You can get so many ideas just by browsing other people's blogs, chatting to other Midori Traveler's Notebook users on Facebook, or just thinking about your personal interests and looking at stationery online.
Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing ...
Dream journal
If you're a vivid dreamer, recording your dreams might be a fun way of looking into your subconscious and working through desires and fears.
If you keep your Midori, Traveler's Notebook by your bedside, when you wake up first thing in the morning you'll be able to quickly recall details of your dreams and record them.
This can assist a very interesting and personal journey. You should try it!
It might also help you to develop an emotional connection or relationship with your journal, which is what all of us Midori fans strive to do through personalisation.
Doodle book
If you like to let your pen wander aimlessly across the backs of envelopes when you are on the phone, maybe you should consider keeping a doodle book.
Who knows, each page could turn into wonderful abstract pieces of art!
Doodling is also a wonderful mindful exercise that can help you to unwind.
Brainstorming pad
Everybody has a preferred way of taking notes to remind themselves of ideas for shopping lists, blog posts and other things.
Why not try brainstorming as a free and visual way of generating ideas?
Dedicate a notebook refill to your brainstorming– it'll encourage you to use this open form of note-taking and reap the rewards.
The best thing about brainstorms is that it is easy to add onto your ideas any time, linking ideas together and seeing where you end up!
TIP: Use your notebook horizontally for more space!
Stamp or sticker collection
People who like to collect things things might enjoy dedicating a TN notebook refill to collecting, say stamps, stickers, receipts, lists ... it's up to you!
Recipes ideas
How about a notebook dedicated to yummy recipes?
It can accompany you to the supermarket when you go, and then you can take it out to make space for something else when you know you won't be doing any shopping!
