As a teacher and parent the start of the school year has always felt more like a new year than January. September always feels like the time to start new routines and habits while January is more of a check-in or a recalibration after the holidays.
I, too, love cheap spiral notebooks and we have reams of them lying around from our homeschooling days that are only half used. I just rip out the used pages and notate away.
Amy! Right? I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I have such a hard time getting myself geared up for "new year" stuff in January, but it's easy this time of year. I hope your school year is fantastic.
I laughed about the cheap spiral notebooks and the moleskines. I use both kinds, but it’s true that I permit all kinds of disorder in the spirals and have no barriers to writing anything there. 😂 Thank you for many lovely invitations here this week!
It appears this is a universal truth...I'm just slower to figure it out than most. I'll never give up a lovely moleskin journal, but the "cheap" ones carry surprising value!
Roxie! Of course birthday is a perfect time, I can't believe I didn't think of it. My birthday was a few weeks ago, so I think that too is why I feel such a "new year" vibe this time of year.
