I have a Traveler’s notebook in olive! They just released one in a gorgeous red color:) I quite like it but as a lefty it is a little narrow in size but there’s plenty of customisation you can do with it!! Currently have my eye on a Louise Carmen Paris journal lol
Ah! this is exactly why I’m still a bit unsure about the Traveler’s Notebook – not that I’m a lefty, but I do have big handwriting, and I feel like I’d need a refill every month haha. The Louise Carmen Paris journals are gorgeous! Are you eyeing a specific colour?
I love learning about other people's writing process. Like your example with the poor pink-haired dog, I also agree that inspiration can be found anywhere and it is super useful to keep a little notebook on hand to, even if messily, capture ideas as they come. We can always take our time with them later, but I think its important to not miss out on them too.
I usually use notion as well, when taking notes or exploring ideas digitally, however, I came across another tool that helps connect ideas (picture one of those detective walls where they connect the clues to solve crimes? or the infamous "the L word" chart haha). I haven't started using it yet, but I would love to and I think it is great to see what connections we can find in what catches our attention or what are we most drawn to.
Here is the video I saw of someone explaining it in case you are interested:
Lastly, I think fixating on smaller things related to what we love is such a good way to get inspiration - from art, from history, from food, books, anything can be used as a source of inspiration if we spend a little time with it.
Honestly, there’s no better duo than a notebook and Notion!
I loved the references you shared (I miss The L Word!) 🫶 I came across Obsidian in one of Robin Waldun’s classes; he only touched on it briefly, but it really caught my attention. Thanks so much for sharing the video!
And yes, I completely agree — taking time to notice the small things around us makes such a difference. Thanks again for your thoughtful words xx

Lovely post, as always!
