using your notebooks
we're all going to die one day. better to die with used notebooks than empty ones.
they don't need to look pretty. as long as you're writing, you're doing something right.

this is a great reminder haha. I actually have so many notebooks which I have kept. I always felt like I should use these nice notebooks for umm ‘better thoughts.’ But I never have any and it’s a missed opportunity to keep waiting for that.

I get free simple little black notebooks from work and I can rip through them. But I was recently gifted this hardcover notebook from mom with a piet mondrian design and I can’t get a line down. It’s like I’m waiting for the next great American novel before I put my pen to paper.

I cherish the fact when I die my progeny will have to sift through my notebooks.

writing in physical notebooks instead of the notes app
once i got over my fear of not having anything "important" or "smart" to write or my pages not looking aesthetically pleasing enough, i realized how refreshing and therapeutic it is to put my thoughts on paper—regardless of how much value i'll find in them in the future

little notebook for ideas
the crucial thing here is it has to be a really pleasant little notebook. you have to enjoy the experience of scribbling in it. i have three for different idea styles and they each provide a writing situation i get actively excited to experience. like ooh i hope i get to use my dream journal this morning… ooh hope i have a cool idea about art on the bus… etc etc

handwriting your notes
a lost art. when i was i school this was the only way i could retain anything. even when i write personal essays and stuff now, i feel like i understand the subject matter better when i take time to hand write key points and notes. also i just love the chicness of a notebook and pen.

never posting an instagram story
if they don't ask about your life, then they don't deserve to know about it. don't give away the lore for free. keep 'em guessing.

rejecting fear and expressing how you really feel
the older i become, the greater my desire to be more direct and less inhibited. i don't want to be consumed by fear anymore. life is too precious.

adding birthdays to your contacts
i don't know if this is already common practice but i think it's worth talking about.
adding a birthday to a contact is quick and easy, and doing so automatically makes birthdays appear in your apple calendar, if the birthday calendar is toggled on. it's a super simple way of remembering and letting people know you care about them, no matter how busy life may be.
