I don't know how to use this notebook

I mean yes, I know how to write in a notebook, but I really feel I could be using the little boxes in this notebook in a useful or meaningful way. I just can't think what for! I'm trying to use my nice things rather than saving them for a best that never comes. I don't keep a diary or bullet journal, they don't really work for me. If you had this notebook what would you use it for?

Bin it. Life’s too short.

Isn't it for drawing cartoon strips?
I would use it for drawing.

I looks like it's for bullet journal type stuff.

Can I ask where you bought it?

Grin I have a need for another notebook!

To do list divided into different categories (work, home, family, appointments, etc)

Set yourself a daily or weekly challenge for each box - e.g. Learn a new word and its definition and copy it in one box (there are websites that will give you one each day); do a five minute pencil sketch; summarise your day in a sentence; write down one thing you're grateful for, etc.

I've had it a couple of months, it's from Flying Tiger. I can't go in there and come out empty handed, it's always notebooks or pretty napkins. At least I know what to do with the napkins!

Use it to list ‘things to be grateful for’ or great experiences - it can become a book to keep your memories/ positivity when you are down

It's a notebook. So, write notes in it! Confused

I had to google Flying Tiger, and guess what - we've got three of them . Now I must go there and it is your fault Smile.

Sorry Prokupa (but not sorry, it an awesome shop) Stripy I like the challenge idea.

It’s in a style called De Stijl. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Stijl

I would use the boxes however you see fit. I don’t think there is a right or wrong.

I've bought lovely notebooks that sit unused because they're just too nice! Pointless I know.
