Day 7 Question:

How does your practice/style change according to your circumstances? For example, do you switch to a smaller volume when you're travelling? Use a less elaborate layout when you're particularly busy? Anything else?

In theory I have a smaller "passport" sized TN that I bought for when I was out and about, but in practice I just take my regular notebook because I can't be arsed to migrate the information and my bags are usually big enough for my regular TN. The exception was when my son was younger because I was carrying him plus his gear and I pretty much only had my keys/wallet and a couple of notecards/pen to scribble on for me XD I also used my phone a lot more for notes in that period. Then there was (is) a pandemic and and by the time we could somewhat safely be out and about again he was no longer a baby but a little boy who needs a lot less gear and carries his own stuff!

I experiment with other systems and multiple notebooks as circumstances change in my life (motherhood, starting work again, etc.) but in the end I always seem to end up going back to my TN. I just can't beat that "separated but all in one place" feeling it gives me.

I struggle with the all in one placeness of the bullet journal, so I bet I would like the separate but all in one placeness of the TN.

It's a useful and versatile system! And you can have the home insert and the work insert, and then take out the work insert when you're on holiday ^_^ (And put in a holiday insert!)

That is a really useful system. I've watched many a video about how to insert notebooks into your traveler's notebook cover and read many blog posts about how people use theirs. Some of the covers are really, really nice.
