Fill every idea/sketch book I own

one problem with “completing” this goal (which is really more of a lifelong endevour) is that i’m forever starting some new journal / notebook for some new interest or pursuit. Not a bad thing, guess, but it does perpetuate my energies on the “New” rather than finishing the “Old”.

This summer i started a “Creative Pursuits” journal based on the ideas described in the book Refuse to Choose by Barbara Sher.I actually have two—the first one i had wasnt a good size to capture all that i wanted, so now i’m going back & forth between the smaller old one and the larger newer one, filling in the old with what Will fit, and trying to keep up with entries in the new…

In the past 2 weeks i’ve been reading up on various decorating strategies / making one’s home reflect your life and soul, and after reading about making a “Picture Journal” in a great book What Color is Your Slipcover ,i’ve pulled out a fresh notebook, and began compiling images and scribbling down answers to the self-assessment questions. So now i’ve yet another new idea journal to fill….

i doubt this goal will ever leave my list; i enjoy making journals and notebooks and scrapbooks and quoditian diaries ‘way too much. So maybe this goal should just be detailed what new journal / idea book i’ve started, and any leaps forward. Starting a new ideas journal is Too much fun….

than a Fat, Filled, Notebook....

i’m pretty good at filling up my free-style, chronological, personal journals…it’s the rest that take more time, or dont get completed/added entries to on a steady basis. I always have this dream of a completed “Idea” notebook, kinda like the infamous Jones’ Grail Diary in the “Last Crusade” movie,,,,,with notes, sketches, clippings, outlines… Often i either forget the idea i had before i get around to noting it down,,,,or the particular notebook isnt in front of me at the time, so i use some scrap of paper to jot it down, the that scrap get lost, never transcribed/pasted into in the notebook. So i’ve got a lot of “idea books” with tons of notes & articles stuffed into them loosely,,,,but not secured (and could be lost)...
