My notebooks are such an important part of my writing journey. I use them to plan my days, weeks and months, for journaling my writing process and online presence, for planning out my essays, non-fiction and YouTube videos - and yes, I have my favourite designs for each task! In this video I share how I've used my notebooks during January including a revamped planning system, journaling my thoughts as my YouTube channel gets close to monetisation and tracking my word count for increased productivity.
If you're looking for ideas on how to fill your journals and notebooks I am sharing a journal flip through to show how I fill mine. My journals are often messy but each one has a definite purpose.
I use one journal as a writing bullet journal to track and log my writing and creative projects. I use another to plan my writing and creative tasks. I have others for particular writing projects such as my book proposal, essays and YouTube scripts. Then I have some simply to journal and to free up space in my head.
In this video I share each notebook I’ve used in the last six months. There’s a completed journal, a couple of new notebooks and I also share how my notebooks (and writing) have been affected by the recent pandemic
