hey printer holux ever found yourself
buying notebooks because you fell in
love with their cover but never ended up
using them I know I'm guilty of that so
in today's video I would like to share
seven different ways you can fill up
your empty notebooks or give you an
excuse to buy even more notebooks the
first way is probably the most obvious
one and that is to use your notebook as
a journal or diary some people find it
very therapeutic to express their
feelings by writing them down if you
have something that is troubling you or
the exact opposite having an exclusive
journal for that can be just what you
need you can write about your day about
a problem you're having perhaps an
amazing experience you want to jot down
so you never forget it is a notebook for
you and your thoughts only the second
way is using it as a creative journal
this is kind of similar to the previous
one but if you love to be crafty or
creative you can transform your journal
entries into works of art using all
kinds of mixed-media like paint
watercolor embellishments stickers
magazine clippings stamps stencils with
all sorts of stationery goods you can
make a creative journal all about you
and the things you love the most the
next idea is to use your notebook for
something as simple as note-taking maybe
you have a school or work project that
requires you to plan things out you
could use this notebook exclusively for
that or maybe you want to research a
specific topic about something you want
to learn more about anything and
everything that has to do with
note-taking can be used in this
particular notebook I don't know about
you but I spend a lot of my time making
lists it could be a grocery list a
stationery wish list books I'd like to
buy places to visit the list goes on
pun intended I find it really easy to
write them down and little punkin
notebooks like this one for those of us
that maybe have a hard time thinking of
what to journal or write about perhaps
having a guided journal is not a bad
idea this is all about using your No
book to write out different prompts that
you can find almost everywhere for
example there are a bunch of monthly
writing prompts on Pinterest that could
be based on a specific theme season or
topic these really get your brain going
and make you think outside the box if
you love looking at beautiful typography
and would like to try a hand at them
then maybe you can dedicate a specific
notebook for your practice using
different types of pens and lettering
you can write out quotes poems book
passages or even lyrics to practice your
handwriting and get better each time you
try if you keep at it for a while you
can then enjoy seeing the progress of
your practice by flipping the pages from
front to back
in your notebook this next idea is for
those of us that have so many things
going on in our heads that we don't know
how to keep up well the solution is to
use a notebook for your brain dumps when
an idea comes up write it down here if
you have a bunch of tasks that you don't
want to forget well write them and you
bring them notebook don't be afraid to
have a messy notebook once in a while
brain dumps are done to help you
declutter your mind and leave room for
the important stuff and last but not
least if you are a stationery hoarder
and I'm pretty sure you are if you're
watching this video then you can
dedicate a notebook to swatch all of
your goodies I have a bunch of washi
tape so I ripped a piece of each one and
placed it in this notebook to keep an
inventory of the different designs that
I own you could also do this if you have
different Stamp inks markers watercolor
pens paint anything you can think of
that you can leave a little test and/or
swatch you can know the different colors
that you have and because it looks cool
and nice so these are just a few ideas
or ways or uses whatever you want to
call it to finally pick up that empty
notebook that has been sitting in your
drawer collecting dust and filling it in
your notebooks well thank you for giving
them the love they deserve and you
yourself will get to enjoy that
beautiful cover that captured you from
the very beginning if you enjoyed this
video and would like me to make a second
part because I still have quite a few
ideas that I could share be sure to give
me a thumbs up so I know that you do and
I'll make sure to
prepare that content thanks so much for

rest of the week I will talk to you guys
