I Started a "Dirt Notebook"

3 hours ago

The author struggles with turning notebooks into overly organized, cherished items, hindering spontaneous note-taking.
To counter this, they started a 'dirt notebook' called 'The Drainage Channel' for messy, unstructured thoughts using an old, low-quality notebook.
The notebook contains random quotes, story ideas, personal memos, and learning goals, scribbled without structure, making it fun and rediscoverable.
Their goal is to fill this notebook to embrace messiness, potentially returning to better materials once comfortable with the approach.
