Coffee shop bullet journals got me thinking about privacy

Was at Stumptown on Belmont last week and saw three people in 20 minutes with their bullet journals wide open on the table. One girl had her entire budget, passwords, and some personal notes just sitting there while she went to the bathroom. I get that we want to be organized but maybe keep those sensitive pages hidden or use a travelers notebook setup with removable inserts. Has anyone else stopped using certain spreads because they felt too exposed in public?

I started using a sticky note cover for the personal pages.

and yeah that sticky note trick is surprisingly effective. I read somewhere that people are using those privacy screen protectors too but they can mess with the brightness and make everything look dark from the side. @henryp40 you ever try just flipping the notebook over when you walk away? thats what I do with my work log book and it feels less obvious than the sticky notes, though maybe not as thorough for the really personal stuff.

Funny how we all find sneaky ways to keep our privacy these days lol
