BEST EDC Notebook SYSTEM. BULLET JOURNAL 

9 years ago I did a project of demoing a building & ordering & installing a new modular home. I was using a FieldNotes as my regular ToDo/note journal but dedicated a second one to this project. I could carry both with ease in a front pocket. The project one had drawings, measurements, todo lists, refined todos in proper order. I had to get permits & inspections for everything. Demo, septic inspection, survey, remove & install electrical power pole & meter, electrician power pole to house . Ground work & slab, retaining wall redo, propane hookup, heater stove install. I noted info from phone calls to various offices, contractors, utility company. On & on. But was all in that 1 notebook that I could carry all the time. Didn’t matter if messy because small I could quickly find info, numbers, names so didn’t bother to index.. And we had to move household to storage unit, move to RV unit for 7 months, then back to new place. No sleepless nights. I’m not an organized person so this saved my b*tt & mind so many times. Would be easy to do in a Traveler’s Passport dedicating 1 notebooks to the project. I’m now using your BuJo layouts in a small notebook. May use a FieldNotes or a Smythson softcover notebook similar to the soft Moleskine. Expensive but I found a couple for same as Moleskine. Initially didn’t want to draw squares for a monthly calendar but I do better understanding with a picture vs a list. Thankyou for showing this & your Future Calendar. Not time consuming to setup & keep up. One other thing I have done in a FieldNotes is start a small project from the back or even use the 2 pages at the staples. Can Index or not as they are easy to find. If used a longtime & getting beat up clear packing tape on the spine & the magic scotch tape over the staples; can write over that if needed. Sometimes use Book Darts (commercial name) to mark certain areas.

passport user here as well, I was pleasantly surprised running into this video, majority of the travelers notebook videos are from a woman's POV but seeing a man's use case is very interesting and I love everything about this video! Very intentional and useful

I love seeing this in use, from a male perspective. I found a lot of value in this. Thank you for sharing!

Congratulation, you got into what I call a Traveler's Notebook Trap: after ordering one you very rarely end up with one

Exactly, that's the only reason why we journal and bullet journal. We just enjoy doing it by hand and laying out the pages because it's a grounding practice. There's something that we can get with real pages and handwriting that we just cannot with a screen. I love to think that when we handwrite it gets imprinted in the subconscious, it's the magick of learning from our experiences and actually take action toward our goals. Thank you for sharing your journal and ideas.

Enjoy your notebook content…I almost bought a Midori, but I decided to make one! That got me started leather working.

Your cigar stickers is the cutest 😊

Brother, I kinda like this like cameo thing you are doing. Where you’re sitting at the table and speaking to us….gives me Mr. Rogers vibes. Love it. Keep it up.

I am ALL IN for bourbon and cigar reviews :)

I love your setup! You’re making me want to hop back into a pocket notebook.

Love that you started outdoors and moved in. It felt like visiting you at your home! Thanks for going into the details. It was interesting!

That's an excellent set up!! Thank you for sharing this!!

Love how well loved your journal is.

New to your channel and I have been loving your bujo videos. Love your setup. You inspired me to move back into my passport TN.

I like your simple calendar view. I want to start using that. Thanks.

Love it! Great stuff!!

I like your setup, I have the same TN covers. I carry the Passport size with me all the time. Good video !

I like the way you keep the cigar bands. So many times in the past I have smoke a really nice cigar and then forgot the name of cigar.

Always good advice on journaling, and excellent suggestions, thanks!

Great setup! TFS! 🤗

Love the organization. Have a great weekend

Love watching a mans version of a edc TN :) can you tell me where you got that perfect sized straight edge for the passport size?

Great video!!

The bigger size is just called a standard TN. You will like it .. I have a couple . I ordered a new last week lol it's a rabbit hole .. Love the video .happy weekend !

Very nice!

I started bujo in january. My second one will start monday for april. I use your methods mostly I use field notes. And i also got a pentel pencil. Ive loved those for years anyway. I waited to comment til after my first run at it but its changed my life. I dont do whiskey or cigars but i still watch all your stuff.

Great to see someone elses setup. I’ve found mine a good daily edc notebook too. The cover helps keep it together and tidy, i need to work out a pen clip for this without adding to the bulk. You may have enabled a fisher space pen purchase!

Looking good! I was setting up April earlier this week, finishing up today so I’m ready for Monday. I split it so I journal in an A5 book my “Morning Pages” (MP) writing 3 pages a day + anything that needs that kind of room, and a Field Notes sized pocket notebook where I keep an abbreviated BuJo. April is the first time my BuJo will be in a genuine Field Notes journal because I was gifted a 3 pack of the National Park series. The little BoJo is what I always carry in my shirt or jacket pocket while the A5 MP journal 📓 usually stays in the car until I sneak into my local coffee house for an afternoon break. Should be interesting using the FN this time.

It was the sigogglin’ for me ❤

Just bought a passport one. Like your setup! Trying something similar. I usually like shoving a notebook in my back pocket. I have a tendency to sit on them alot throughout my day and usually they fall apart after a few months. Even leuchtturm1917s seem to. Hoping that this will hold up better!

Brilliant! I just stole your spending log idea! It makes me accountable for all the craft stuff and pens I keep buying! ha :) I find the passport size you have there a little too small so I use the Standard size you are waiting for. I look forward to your vlog of that x

My favorite CAO cigar is the MX2. If you haven't tried one I highly recommend them.

Making a monthly spread in a pocket notebook in the days of really fantastic digital calendars is nonsensical and illogical...but seems to work.

Cant wait for unboxing and overview of the large TN when you get it. What color did you get?

You got me at cigar smoking whisky drinking

I do math with my fingers too!

Please tell me where you found the plastic stencil?

Nice. How do you carry it? Back pocket? If so, is it bulky or can you just it used to it being there? I thinking about doing this as well. Wallet / Notes

You don’t find it to thick to carry in your pocket? How do you plan on carrying the new journal?🤔

First?

Was kinda liking this vid until you beleived you had a provably fake virus and then I completely lost interest.

Great video buddy! This is what I long for buddy! More organization!!!! We’re gonna have to pull a sticker swap!😁
