Yes! I am so grateful for Janisse's wonderful presence, work, and guidance. I continue to be inspired by Journey in Place.
Your color-coding ideas are interesting. I've done the opposite--I have a catch-all journal that I buy in bulk (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08P72KSJS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that encourages me to draw, write, morning pages, capturing the moon phase etc. And then I have a pink notebook that I write down my family stories in, and a green one for the novel idea I'm working on. I have found that not spending a ton of money on notebooks helps immensely in encouraging myself to get words on the page.
I just saw this comment! Yes, it doesn’t matter how we get the writing out, as long as we get it out. I used to try separating my different types of writing in different journals but then I would end up spending too much time looking for the journal I needed to write a particular piece in. This notebook is with me at all times so I can jot down ideas, stories, or notes from a podcast I may be listening to. It also boosts my writing confidence when I fill one completely.
