Help needed
Hi, first time poster.
I have a lot of notepads/books. I buy them and like to use them - but abandon them part way through.
I have ADHD. I buy the next notebook thinking that it will help me organise my life or will magically transform my routine. It never does. The closest I got to this was during lockdown, I filled a Bullet Journal (which felt incredibly satisfying).
The thing is, the action of writing something down actually helps me remember things/helps clarify my thinking while listening during meetings. I also have a thousand ideas a day - they need somewhere to be remembered or they’ll never live.
I have been looking on here at people’s notebooks - I think the idea of a “special” kind of notebook - not just a cheap cast away “jotter” may be an avenue to explore. I’ve seen some lovely looking covers with the option of filling in with 3-4 thinner notebooks inside - this would appeal to me as I would need sections for work/ideas/life stuff/maybe even drawing/scribbling. More of a “system” than a notebook.
I realise that I may just be hoodwinking myself into buying a more expensive notebook here - but I think there’s something in the stewardship of such a thing that holds weight - not just a disposable notebook to cast into the pile of graph paper gravestones I’ve amassed.
If anyone has any suggestions for me to look into - I’m open to all comments and tips/tricks - anything!!! Based in the UK.
Hope this makes sense to someone :)
Thanks
