					<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another interesting antique notebook from my collection. I love the concept of a diary mixed with a foreign language dictionary. This would have been intended for a soldier who was being sent to fight in France during World War 1, so in a lightweight, compact package, the soldier (or other service member) could both &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2026/04/07/ww1-soldier-sailors-diary/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">WW1 Soldier-Sailor&#8217;s Diary</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Back in December 2008, I wrote a post called Finishing a Notebook. At the time, this still felt rather significant as an accomplishment. My notebook usage before the early 2000s was often very fickle&#8211; I&#8217;d start one, decide I wanted to try something else, then maybe go back to something I&#8217;d tried before, then move &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2026/03/10/unfinished-notebooks-2/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Unfinished Notebooks</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Over the last couple of years, it&#8217;s gotten to the point where I&#8217;m carrying quite a few notebooks around the house with me. Even if I&#8217;m not using every single one of these notebooks constantly, I know I might want to, so I like to keep them close at hand.

					<description><![CDATA[I shared this article on Instagram recently, but wanted to write more about it here. Don’t Keep a Diary. Embrace the Fragments of Real Life Instead. The author Daniel Poppick talks about how diaries are often kept in a way that can sound a bit stilted or self-conscious: I’ve never consistently kept a diary.
