The Unfinished Notebook

This week we dive back into the stuff we love, which is...stuff. It's been a few months since volume one of our favorites, so we thought it was time to have volume two. The format is a bit different this time, but more fun, we hope. Come join the conversation!

This week we dust off some old journals and pocket notebooks to see how our writing/journaling style has evolved. Are we better writers? We hope so! What habits have we developed or stopped? What does the future hold for our journaling practices? Come join the conversation!

This week we're doing another company deep dive. Leuchtturm brand notebooks have been a powerhouse in the stationery genre for decades. Even more so with the popularity of bullet journaling.

We weren't going to put "Hard vs Soft" as the episode title. This is a family show after all.

Jeremy sends his apologies for being extra ramblesome and unprepared this week. Too much caffeine and not enough sleep. Still a fun episode. We debate the flaws and merits of hardcover/softcover journals and traditional books. Come join the conversation.
