Discover the My True Life’s original 'Commonplace Book Ring Binder Insert'.

Signature archival-style layout

First up, my signature archival-style layout. This design is perfect for everyone who loves that nostalgic "I was just in the library" feeling, or the dark academia, romantic writer aesthetic.

But don't be fooled, this is not just a cool design! It's also very practical for writers, students, researchers, and creatives who love a simple archiving system with lots of room for personalization and creativity.

Customize and create

For example: document inspiring quotes, facts and ideas on the front. Use the back of the insert to glue in a mood board, stickers and ephemera. Then use the 'Commonplace Book Ring Binder Inserts' to create your own system for archiving all your thoughts, best ideas, sketches, favorite quotes, and interesting facts.

🗒️ My True Life paper quality

The paper I selected for My True Life stationery is Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) and OBA-free (no optical brighteners). This makes the paper highly resistant to yellowing and deterioration over time. Perfect for long-term archiving and flipping through your Commonplace Book journal inserts for years to come.

🧱 170 GSM paper

The My True Life 'Commonplace Book Journal Inserts' are made from premium 170gsm paper. This makes the pages thicker and sturdier than average journal inserts, allowing them to hold up well even when you use glue, stickers and ephemera.

📏 A5 journal inserts

The 'Commonplace Book Journal Inserts' are A5 size, measuring 5.8 x 8.3 inches (148 x 210 mm), and are designed to fit most standard and popular 6-ring A5 binders. You can order them either as 6-hole punched inserts, ready to use with your binder, or as unpunched (no holes) inserts that allow you to customize the pages yourself.
