How I set up my pocket notebook | Field Notes

Hello and welcome to the shed quarters. Today I'm going to show you how I set up my field notes. This is book number 19. And I have been doing this for a little over a year. So first thing I do is I leave this page blank. I like how clean it looks. I don't like

looking right at the writing when I first open it up. I like to wait for that. Second thing I set up is my to-do's. So these are random to-do's that I think about I need to do. If I need to go to Target, Marshalls, Lowe's, Home Depot, movies or books that I want to read.

I'm doing a Bible study right now called Stranger Theology and I'm just keeping track of which ones I've completed. Podcasts, books I've read, uh series from my mentor and then videos that I want to make. I put those in here. And the trick on this um is put them down, write the titles at the

very bottom. And when you make a little fold mark, don't write at the very top of it cuz you can't see it, but make a little fold mark. So when you fold them up they're out of the way and you have room to write. Cuz if you notice don't quite write at the top.

I write kind of mid halfway down. Um that way I can see the top one obviously you can write wherever you want, but I usually start these about 3/4 of the way down so I'm not having to pull the next one off. So that's where I put those in there. But let's look at my daily setup and

what I do and what I track. So let's start here. And we're almost halfway through the book. I think I got two pages, two or three pages to staple day. But yeah, so what what I'll do is I'll take the old previous page and I'll make some marks so I know where I left off.
