Adding a Leather Journal to your everyday carry

Adding a Leather Journal to your everyday carry

In this era of smartphones and laptops at our disposal, we barely understand the benefits of having a physical journal. It looks obsolete, or old school so to say. Something your parents or grandparents would of had. While smartphone schedules and planners might be convenient with their notifications, journals allow you a real feel and connection to what you write every day. Leather journals are a perfect item to add to your everyday carry.

Why use a journal for planning or notes?– Using journals will let you access your notes without opening your laptop or phone, and are quite effective when it comes to utilizing every space available on a page. There are apps for everything and sometimes it’s just too much to have to click into your notes app then your calendar and then try to remember what other apps have what information in them. Keeping your journal on the table will always remind you that it needs attention, and you can turn the pages while working side by side as well.

Scheduling Time to Use your journal– In order to incorporate your journal into everyday use you need to schedule time to use it. We recommend getting into a pattern of using your journal when you first wake up, whenever necessary during the day and finally for at least 20 minutes before you go to bed. In the morning you’ll be able to review tasks that you need to complete that day and notes from the previous night. During the day you can reference your journal as a checklist and also keep notes of important details. At night you’ll be able to reflect on your day and start writing down what has to be completed the next day.

Benefits of using a planner– It is hard to deny that journals actually make life easier when used to their full potential. The world is a busy place. Journaling can help slow things down and improve efficiency in the following ways:

Helps you stay organized– Like we mentioned above, journals can be your best friend if you are someone who needs to stay on top of various things in a day. Using a journal will help you in reducing stress by keeping all your tasks and plans in place and organized.

Less Screen time – In this day and age we are glued to screens all day long. Most people are on their phones at least several hours a day. That coupled with TV use and working with computers during the day means we are almost always starting at a screen. Using journals will not only lessen the screen time for you but will also keep you connected to writing. Take notes wherever required without pulling your phone out and you just save your eyes for a few minutes. They’re also great to use during meetings when cell phone use can be considered impolite.

Go Creative – If you love being creative or you want to learn to be creative then journals provide a blank canvas. Cell phones and computers do not allow you to explore creative options for notes or planners. With a blank journal ou can use sticky notesas bookmarks for your favorite entries and decorative tapes to highlight your goal achievements too! You can use multiple colors to differentiate the type of note you are trying to create, you can create indexes, staple in reminders, the possibilities are endless.
