Ode to Graph Paper

I have a notebook addiction.  I have 2-3 notebooks within arms reach at home, no matter what time of day.  Out of the house, I have a bag large enough to carry one with me.  Must be a writer thing.  I organize my day, my life, in my notebooks.  I don’t wish to spend hunting for a graphing notebook when I need one, I just use only graphing paper notebooks now.  I have the following notebooks for housewife organization:

Household Garden Health Work

My favorite activity in my notebooks is menu-planning and garden planning.  I have all my garden areas sketched out.  Filling in those blocks with next years plants is fun for me.  As in the kind of fun other people have going to parties and doing social-people things.  It’s November 1st and yes, my 2019 garden is fully planned and mapped out.  I already have my wishlist at the ready, waiting for my 2019 rareseeds catalog.

Just running out to the mailbox every day like a little kid waiting for a Christmas card from that Aunt that always sends big money.

Bills & Website & Future Self Journaling too.

I added Future Self Journaling and CBT work in 2020, those topics have dedicated notebooks too.  Helpful and graphing paper is suited to making lists, as well brainstorm and mind-map exercises.

What are your particular addictions?
