Copied over from a /r/notebooks post.
I just finished up writing the table of contents for the notebook that I kept over the summer. And I was totally floored by two things: (1) how much stuff I had forgotten, and (2) how much joy the contents brought to me.
Notebooks really are my “happy place” where I do exactly the sort of stuff that appeals to me. Looking through this volume, that finished up August, was like sorting through lost treasure. There are some doodles that I made with my daughter when we got our nails done, notes from a talk that lead to an awesome music jam and dinner party, and lots of the specific research that I do. Pure joy.
Does anyone else get such a thrill out of revisiting old notebooks?
