On this episode of Restorative Reading & Writing for Wellness, I’m revealing my 2026 notebook stack: all the notebooks I’m using and loving and why.

I’ll begin by answering the top 3 questions I receive every time I release my annual notebook stack episodes: Why so many? Why are they so different? How often do you write in them? Plus, I’ll share why I’m shifting my focus a bit this year, too.

Then, I’ll walk you through each of my notebooks: what they are for, what they look like and how they feel, how I’ll use it and how often I’ll write in it.

Finally, I’ll end with a mic-drop question that could change the way you think about notebooking and journaling forever.

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/12/30/my-2026-notebook-stack/
