My new set up, Field Notes in A6 Card Holder.

An idea strike me while I looked at my Field Notes.

 

How about give my Field Notes some external protection?

Converting my Midori Traveler's Notebook into a Expenses Wallet

This is the black passport Midori Traveler's Notebook, which was my Every Day Carry (My PP MTN, My New Every Day Carry).

After changing out (The Only Constant Thing is Changes) from this PP MTM, I have no use for this beautiful PP MTN - I kept it inside a storage box....

Until last night - I decided organise my expenses wallet.

Situation:
Previously, I was using zipper coin pouches to hold the expenses monies (Household expenses & Transport expenses), and my Expenses Record Book (ERB) is totally a separate entity.

I have kept my ERB in my planner - which means that sometimes, I will forget to update my expenses until a few days later. 

I find it a challenge just to remember to update the expenses record book.  

This has to change! 

My Midori Passport size TN.

After years of wanting and waiting, 

I have finally got myself a Midori Passport size Traveler's Notebook in Brown leather.

As I am carrying a Black Midori Traveler's Notebook as my Every Day Carry,

I decided to convert it into a card holder.

Card Holder sleeve on MTN passport size

It has been busy at work, and this post has been delayed for a while. 

Jac Drow, a fellow MTN user, bought the card holder sleeve, and put it into her passport size Midori Traveler's Notebook (MTN).

And this is what she shared:

"Finally, my set up with the card holder sleeve I got from Justin. I use it in combo with my mini coupon folio. It fits in my Midori Passport which has become my EDC portable brain. On the day i go shopping/Run errands I put a envelope corresponding to the shop or location I will be stopping at that day. The envelope contains a list, cash and/or gift card that I intend to use at that location. I have found  this keeps me on track, cuts down on my impulse buys and gets me in and out much faster. My Errand day just got shorter and more manageable. Thank you Justin!"

The card holder sleeve.

For the past months, I had been sending card holder sleeves to different part of the World.
And it got many people curious about the card holders that I've been sending.

So here's a little introduction about the Card Holder Sleeve.

There are 5 slots on each size.
Personally, I put 2 business cards into each of those slots (as seen on the left),
and the necessary cards on the right.
