I added my last few filled Field Notes notebooks for 2025. I already have 5 to add for 2026 but will probably wait until my website redesign to add that page.

Wow, this whole list was so cool to scroll through. I had no idea Field Notes had so many different designs, and it was interesting to see how you used them all too

@ratlands Thanks so much! Field Notes has their standard brown kraft paper books, but they come out with 4 quarterly designs every year, plus a half dozen or so collaborations with other orgs and artists. The variety in the covers is one of the things that motivates me to keep writing!

do i have to be careful with this bird one or can i beat it to shit?

@hastiesthandiwork I am not kidding or exaggerating when I say that Field Notes enthusiasts call "beating a notebook to shit" a "patina." In fact, "nice patina" is a frequent compliment. So let 'er rip, I guess.

okay i will beat it to shit and make my own field notes section to document it also hi friend how are you i owe you a letter im sorryyyyyyy

spending my life waiting for USPS to come out with a field notes stamp journal that is on theme for what I'd be using it for

not quite a fieldnoteshead myself (least for now), but i have this cheap generic pocketsize (top)spiralbound notebook - something very nice about carrying somethin like that in yer pocket, and have had one fav music artist sign in it hehe

(keeping my work schedule in my lil pocketbook, and letting it whisk up some of my Stray Thoughts, instead of letting my phone do both of those - feels good)

@hastiesthandiwork Letters are not for guilt, they are for fun!

@maxcrunch The stars do align that way sometimes.

@sneekrealm Using my phone less was definitely one of my motivations for starting a pocket notebook habit. Once I unlock the phone all bets are off as to whether I'll actually remember why I opened it or just get sucked into whatever's on the screen. Notebooks can't do that.

My redesign is still a ways off, but there are some things that I want to remove or reconfigure as part of that process. My Steven Universe Future page is now is own Neocities site: https://suf.neocities.org/.

I promise that at least a good portion of the broken links are intentional.

I like this, I've been meaning to try something similar for a while. My weak point is remembering projects I had ideas for but never got round to starting, and I think this could easily be adapted to work for that

appreciate the write up of the Bonelkasten system greatly. i'm on my third iteration of "put everything on cards" but i haven't yet found my system

I've gone through a few different organisation systems with varying success. At the moment there's a In-Progress and Previous foldee where each project has a folder. A project gets a folder when it has either a research document or reference images associated with it. A project I'm actively working on is on the Desktop layely and gets moved later. Concept or loose ideas are in a spreadsheet that I don't use enough.

Like you I'm still working on making a system to finish projects and maintain work on them. I like the idea of putting a dot on a paper to tick off some progress. I need to find something similar to keep me working on projects instead of adding them to the ever larger WIP pile. Mine is much larger than 10 unfortunately.

Like this idea a lot. I often forget about projects, including those that I really want to work on but don't in favor of completing easier projects. Something like your system would be a good way to remind myself.

Did something different with my /now page. For those on mobile, you can click into the image and read. And yes, all of it is in alt text.

I am excited to see your creatives systems work, I am trying to make sense of mine right now too
