21 Creative Ideas For Empty Notebooks or Blank Journals

Hello you. You’re the type of person who continues to purchase adorable notebooks, despite having a stash of them at home with no use. I know, because I was you.

I’d have a collection of cute notebooks and journals I held on to because I thought they’d be useful at university. I had some journals that I never wrote a single word in, simply because I didn’t want to ‘ruin’ the first page.

When I finally finished my Master’s degree, I had a huge clear-out. I needed to find a purpose for all of these empty notebooks, so I went to the best place on the internet… Pinterest.

I now have a useful function for each of my notebooks! Yes, every single one. I’ve got a mindfulness journal filled with gratitude and positivity, a recipe book because I’ve been spending quarantine learning how to cook, a book of shadows for my witchcraft practice… and oh gosh, so many more.

After the huge popularity of my 21 Self-Care Ideas blog post and printable, I’m back today with another one. I’ve curated a list of 21 Ideas For Empty Notebooks.

Now you have no excuses for those beautiful unused journals I know you have hidden away at home. If you want to treat yourself to a beautiful new Papier notebook, don’t feel guilty about it!

  1. Hello, Good Morning. I found your site on Pinterest and when I arrived the first thing I noticed is your handicapped sticker. Being disabled myself, I decided to write and ask you what that’s all about. Thanks.

  2. Yes, yes, I am the person who buys a lot of notebooks but does not use them.
    You know, I have a few bullet journals but they are still empty. And also in the spring I started to keep a journal where I wrote down my schedule, but I dropped it. I suppose I should resume keeping the journal now. I have found inspiration at Pinterest and I hope it will be long enough for me.
    These are cool ideas!

  3. Amazing lists, thank you so much for sharing this. I have a lot if empty notebook, I think its high time I start filling them up.

  4. I love these ideas! I too have a stash of empty notebooks, but lately I have been filling them more. I have a gratitude journal, a notebook where I plan my goals & record progress on them, a small notebook for a general to-do list, and a general journal where I write all sorts of stuff! You’ve given me some more ideas though – I especially like the sound of a quotes and affirmations journal. I’ve also heard of people keeping dream journals!
