I love this topic, it is so fascinating! I also have multiple notebooks (surprise surprise!) I'm a total notebook freak but I have arrived at the perfect notebooks for me.
I have:
1x Moleskin lined notebook as my journal, mental health notes and personal development space.
1x Leuchturm dotted as my 'day book', filled with to do lists, notes…

I have:
1x Moleskin lined notebook as my journal, mental health notes and personal development space.
1x Leuchturm dotted as my 'day book', filled with to do lists, notes from any online courses and business planning - a space for capturing and developing anything from business planning to household projects. Its an 'everything' book.
Notion: Here I capture all my ideas and planning for writing my Substack. I braindump inspiration and articles, and calendar plan everything out. I created my own template for this and its been gamechanging!
There is always room for improvement but so far I am enjoying these 3 rough buckets for capturing quite different things.
Ooooh thanks for laying out your system Raj! Do you ever feel compelled to put your 'everything' book ideas into Notion? And totally agree that having a Notion template for Substack writing is a gamechanger, especially planning out dates for future posts!
Honestly, I find that I need the paper and pen analogue vibes for the day to day planning and documenting. I can't 'think' on screen, only on paper. I love Notion for the more structured stuff, and I have explored it in the past for life stuff but I find it harder to stick to! I also love that time away from the screen, and building a library of notebooks!

Absolutely! Romanticizing a future where people are perusing our notebook artifacts in museums :)
