How Long Does It Take You To Fill A Journal

Just being nosey, do you use thick or slimmer ones?

My journal is 300 pages long and I use 1 page per day.

Any and all types, depending on whatever mood swing I'm in. How fast I fill them has to do with energy level and how big I decide to write, which is dictated by the pen.

You must have lots of journals to store if you use one up every three weeks or do you throw them away once they are full?

The ones I've used recently have been 252 pages. Since I write 3 pages every morning (or nearly all mornings) I go through one about every three months.

Other spiral bound notebooks, composition books, etc. take much longer because I only write in them sporadically.

My journal, a Picadilly pocket notebook, gets used every morning 2 or 3 pages.

I also go through about 5 pages of a 100 page composition notebook per day.

I keep them stored for future reference, my memory isn't the best anymore

My wife asks me the same question when she looks at the stack of used notebooks..

About six weeks for a standard notebook like a Rodia Webbie.

I can't find a time to write in my journal. Sometimes I spend weeks thinking "I have to write about that". When I start, I can take one or two hours, more if I have a lot of stuff to say.

The problem is I need to be alone and in the mood, and that happens maybe once per month if I am lucky. Also, I use A4 size journals that I make myself with many pages, so I spend around a journal per year-year and a half.

I glanced at a couple of my old Clairefontaine journals, with 192 pages each. It took me 2 months to fill each, even though one was 11.25 x 11.75 inches and the other was 6.75 x 8.75 inches.

 

A couple of years ago I started keeping two journals, one for home only, the other for travel, even if only overnight. My travel journal so far has 339 pages filled since March of this year, the home one has 192 since June.

 

I haven't started throwing away journals yet, but if I do, I'll probably shred them first.
