đź’ĄWhere Do YOUR Scattered Thoughts Go?


Hi Reader,

Ever sat down with a dozen thoughts swirling, groceries, deadlines, the idea for that side project, and wondered where to put them?

Your planner’s notes pages aren’t just “extra.” They’re your brain dump zone, project parking lot, or even your fall bucket list.

Here are three ways I use mine:

  • A seasonal brain dump — get everything out before it clutters your mind
  • A project parking lot — one page per idea, add details when ready
  • A cozy fall list — books, recipes, places to visit before the year ends

It’s simple, but it keeps my head clear and my season intentional.

Already inside the spreads? Tell me how you use your notes pages — I’ll share some of my favourites back.

Clarity lives on paper, not in your head, Reader.

All the very best,

Nikola​

Whenever things felt uncertain, I returned to it: write it down, break it down, take one step forward. Years later, when I found myself overwhelmed again —...
