Page where to leave all thoughts and ideas for the possible toolbox
general overview of the concept
Therefore, the final outcome will be a toolkit that will present, in different shapes, how to go through the analysis of self and the creation of personalised paper notebooks.
The Toolkit will be a box, probably, and will include a series of objects and materials:
- the thesis, printed on different papers, different sizes, every chapter, or paragraph will be different.
This version of the thesis will include a selection of photographs of the materials obtained in the last months, my notebooks, other people's notebooks, the CES, the experiments, the notes...
- different type of papers will be included, a cardboard to hold everything together, and other materials to help in the playground (metal rings, threads etc..)
- a "10 steps to make your own notebook", an instructional piece to go through different experiments.
it will include simple and accessible adds-on that users can use to start implementing their already-existing notebooks (like pockets, folding, additional papers..)
- a set of cards with questions to trigger the imagination
- a selection of short fictional stories based on the notebooks participants made during the sessions and influenced by the stories they told me.
These materials can be tried before the publications by participants or individuals that took part into my research.

to be elaborated
- "5 things to know about notebooks making"
- 10 steps to make your own notebook
- manifesto
- a "making a book" with the materials inside the "box"
- exercise/scheme of analysis of "personal notebook process"
- write a LEXICON as a way to explain things easily (what is your role into this practice?)
ideas development
exercise/scheme of analysis of "personal notebook process"
I need a series of questions that can describe it all in a few words.
| my personal notebook process | the ever-changing process a person can go through, by analysing and keeping attention to their individual note-taking activity and their use of paper notebooks to understand themselves and their needs. |
|---|---|
| What is the starting need that brought to the creation and use of it? | this question helps to highlight the starting point and main reason for the creation of a new notebook (or modification applied). it can be described in a few words. |
| What are the positive sides? Does it work within the starting purpose? | this is to understand if the solutions that have been found and applied to the new notebook are valid and working. this is important mostly not to lose track of the reasons underneath the concept and to evaluate how much the modifications worked. |
| What are the negative sides? What could be a different approach to solve the issue? | if what has been analysed above did not work, why didn't it work? analysing what worked and what did not help to reason on new ways to solve the issue that was not solved. |
| To try out: | a space to throw some ideas about practical solutions to apply to a possible new notebook or that can be applied directly to the version that is under monitoring. |
a second table for new ideas:
| new ideas for notebooks | |
|---|---|
| Need | being able to move the pages so that every space is a free space |
| Concept | write on separate sheets and then put them together with strings or rings |
| Pros | Different paper sheets so I can write separately and then decide how to organise the notes |
| Cons | It is annoying that I cannot add things to the text if the space is finished (absence of folded columns) |
