Without me, my sketchbook is useless. Without my sketchbook, I am useless.

…and so on

There’s something powerful about a blank page. It’s not just paper—it’s a space to build, reflect, and create. A sketchbook isn’t just for artists—it’s for anyone looking to capture a moment, map out an idea, or make sense of the chaos around them.

This week on FWACATA Podcast, we dive into why keeping a sketchbook (or journal, or whatever you want to call it) is one of the most powerful tools you can have—for your creativity, your productivity, and maybe even your sanity.

Think of it like this: in Dungeons & Dragons, wizards have a spellbook—a place where they collect all their knowledge, ideas, and incantations. Your sketchbook? Same thing. It’s your idea vault, your reference manual, your record of the weird and wonderful things bouncing around in your head.

Inside, you can:

• Sketch out ideas before they vanish.

• Write down those fleeting thoughts that might become something great.

• Paste in ticket stubs, fortunes, photos—anything that captures a moment in time.

It’s a living document of your creativity, and the more you use it, the more valuable it becomes.

We live in a time where everything is digital, yet nothing feels permanent. You can scroll endlessly, save a million bookmarks, and yet… where does it all go?

A physical sketchbook stays with you. It doesn’t get lost in an algorithm. It doesn’t get buried under notifications. It’s always there, waiting for you to flip back through its pages and remember what you were thinking, dreaming, or creating.

It doesn’t matter what kind of sketchbook you have—fancy leather-bound journals, cheap dollar-store notebooks, or something in between. What matters is that you use it. Fill it with whatever feels right to you. Doodles, notes, scraps of ideas—it all counts.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about process.

So grab a notebook. Start today. This is your sketchbook—there are many like it, but this one is yours.
