﻿We know how hard it is to resist buying new notebooks.
But when you have a huge stack of them and nothing to write, what do you do?
Here are ten fun ways to fill up those empty pages! If you enjoy this video,

1.
Turn your notebook into a creative book! You can try doodling every day, with one doodle per page.
You don’t necessarily need a sketchbook or plain pages; don’t let grids or lines stop you. Or,
if you’re not much of an artist, fill your notebook with poetry and inspirational quotes.
Kind of like a commonplace book!
Wikipedia it if you don't know what it is-- it's pretty cool.
This is also a great way to put your collection of colored gel pens or markers to good use.
2. Keep your notebook and a pen by your bedside,
so whenever you have a dream you can write it down before you forget it. It’ll be fun to look back on
bizarre or funny dreams later on! Feel free to decorate it with cute night-themed stickers or
washi tape, like these Starry Sky stickers from Midori or Ornate Night Washi Tapes from BGM.
3. Instead of a regular diary,
why not use your notebook as a food diary? You can plan your meals, write down favorite recipes,
and keep track of restaurants you like or want to try out.
For an extra cute touch, decorate with food-themed stickers from Suatelier and Midori.
4. Tracking your habits can
be super helpful if you’re trying to build up a routine, such as drinking enough water
or exercising regularly. It’s a great way to stay motivated and hold yourself accountable.
You can even track your spending habits and see how you budget your money throughout the month.
If you don’t want to draw habit trackers yourself, try these handy Calendar Stickers from Maruman!
5. Does your notebook have perforated pages?
If it does, use the sheets to write letters to friends and loved ones!
Just tear them out when you’re done,
stick them in an envelope, and they’re ready to mail. Check out our How to Write a Letter video
if you’re not sure what to write! There's lots of great ideas there.
6. There are so many great books, movies, TV shows, and podcasts out there—you can use up blank pages
by writing lists of everything you’re interested in. Whether or not you actually get to them is
another question. If you do get to them,
check them off and write your reviews inside.
7. If you’re learning a language or picking up a new hobby, dedicate a notebook to it. It’s easier to
master the skill when your notes are organized in one place. For skills that require practice rather
than notes, like calligraphy or improving your handwriting, you can use pages as practice sheets.
8. If you have memorabilia like ticket stubs,
postcards, and photos, scrapbooking might be up your alley. Instead of using a glue stick
to paste your mementos, consider washi tape and stickers. Use mt Solids Washi Tape if you want
a simple minimalist look, or Appree Pressed Flower Stickers for a more natural aesthetic.
If you don’t have any memorabilia, don’t worry. Everyday items work just fine, like a
grocery receipt or a flower you picked from your yard-- they all count as memories from the day!
9. If you have a ton of notebooks,
chances are you’ve also got a ton of pens, fountain pen ink,
or washi tape. You can use your notebooks to keep a catalog of all the colors and
designs you own! This might even help prevent you from buying more stationery you don’t need.
10. Use your notebook to write down your
tasks every week. It’ll help you remember them better and keep you accountable. Not to mention,
notebooks are a nice alternative to sticky notes, which can be misplaced or forgotten easily.
Or, if you prefer to use sticky notes and memo sheets, store them in your notebook for better
organization. When you’ve accomplished tasks, you can reflect and elaborate on them. Besides using
up pages, this can double as self-care—you can look back on what you achieved each day!
