Organizing Snail Mail In A Traveler's Notebook

The holidays are just around the corner and it's time for me to start thinking about the new year. I want to revamp several things including how I keep track of all my letter writing activities. 2016 has been most rewarding and I am so grateful for all the opportunities I've had to meet other snail mail enthusiasts.

My original system for keeping up with incoming and outgoing mail failed me a bit and I've attempted to correct the issue moving forward. A traveler's notebook dedicated to just my letter writing activities has been assembled. The video below has all the details. What type of system do you use for keeping track of mail?

October Journal Pages

My weekly journaling continues with the same format I've been using for almost two years. Daily highlights linked to my intentions are recorded on the left. And some sort of creative interpretation is entered on the right. This can be a collage, sketch, poem, or simply handwriting practice. Here's an updated page flip of my most recent entries. 

Traveler's Notebook Summer Pages

Summer is over. Today is the Autumn Equinox. Mercury is no longer in retrograde and the wheel of the year turns to Mabon. In other words - It's Fall, Y'all. I am so happy. 

Summer in Florida is downright miserable. To be honest, I often get the blues in August/September because the heat is so awful. In addition to heat, we have the rainy season. The sauna-like weather makes it difficult to be outside and do the things I love to do. This affects everything. My mood, productivity, and creativity all suffer.  

I did manage to stick with journaling throughout the summer season. Here's a look at my weekly layouts over the past few weeks. How did you beat the summer heat this year?
