Jaymy's Place

I really like my notebook but I don't think I would want to take it everywhere with me: too important too personal that I really really would hate to lose it. I probably wouldn't want someone else to read it either.

But there are definitely times when I'm out and about that I want to be able to write something down in there, or maybe some days there's stuff in my notebook that, actually, I'd like to be able to take with me.

Years and years ago I found a website called pocketmod.com which still totally exists and it's just a completely super cool idea. It helps you make an A4 sheet of paper that when folded up, becomes a teeny 8-page 'booklet' with lined/squared/whatever paper that you can take with you.

The How To page is the only bit you need really, once you learn how to fold and cut/tear a piece of A4 paper like that you can just grab a sheet of printer paper and off you go, if you don't mind it being plain paper.

I like the dots option though so I used the site to make a PDF where all 8 pages have the dot-grid, ready to print out if I need them.

Before I leave the house, I can just copy anything I want to take with me from my notebook onto one of these teeny booklets. It fits in the back pocket of my jeans so it's always to hand. If I have a thought or an idea, I can rapid-log it there and then, then copy it back into my notebook when I can. When I'm done with it, I can just throw the piece of paper away.

So yeah, it involves a little bit of copying, but that how I would bring a tiny bit of my bullet journal with me without needing to actually bring my notebook.
