Make a New Normal

Something a little more than nothing

For the last two days, I’ve been obsessed with finding a cover for my bullet journal. And I have two basic criteria:

  1. I want it to look good and
  2. I want it to hold just a couple of things.

And what I have found is that there are really only two kinds of options: just a cover or something that carries many things.

The one I have the most interest in for aesthetic reasons is the Galen leather zippered folio. Which is a bit more than I want.

This highlights an interesting quandary that I can’t be the only one feeling it.

I want the nice folio.
And I’d love a couple of features.

We often think the only choices are full-featured and bare-bones. But there’s always a market for something in-between. Even if they get us to buy more than we need.
