In response to Wifely Steps entry, Notebook in my Bag, I also carry a notebook in my bag. Nothing beats having a notebook and pen in hand when a great idea comes to mind. I bought this notebook in Hawaii when I went home to celebrate my 31st birthday. I love the Hawaiian themed cover because it reminds me that I'm carrying a piece of aloha with me wherever I go. It also makes me feel close to home all the time.If I were to allow you to peek into my notebook, you'll see a hodgepodge of thoughts from what I'm feeling about work and life, weekend must-dos, shopping lists, recipes I'd like to try, blog ideas, my top ten world destinations (which seems to change every month), to what I'd like to eat for dinner. I also paste my favorite funny comic strips and cut out sweet notes from family and friends which I revisit when I am feeling low. This notebook isn't just an absorber of my stress and crazy moments, but also a source of laughter and encouragement.
Sometimes, when I'm so stressed at work, I usually get away from my computer and write on my notebook to relieve the stress. It helps me refocus and get back into working mode. This notebook is half-way full, so I might start looking for a new notebook soon.
How about you? Do you carry a notebook too?
I carry a post it (large) to jot down my thoughts. I don't have much room for a notebook in my bag/purse.
ReplyDeletei do!!! i love notebooks!
ReplyDeleteNow that I am engaged, I've been carrying a notebook to jot down ideas and inspiration for my wedding next year. It's not an organized notebook, not in the least, but it does help!
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing when I'm stressed out at work. I take out my notebook and write, write, write! :)
