I designed my own TN cover and inserts:
I used Domtar 32lb bond 8.5x11" paper. It was cheaper than the HP Premium brand and very smooth for fountain pens (says a bunch of regular fountain pen users at Pelikan Hub). But if you print with an inkjet, then the fountain pen ink runs when you write over the printed stuff. I've never tried with a laserjet, but I hypothesize that it would work better.
As it was, with a baby, I had to switch to using ballpoint pens anyway. Papermate Inkjoy Quattro in regular and fashion colours, for a total of 7 usable different colours - the Lime Green is very light and hard to see, so I never used it.
My printer broke at one point, so I saved all my pages as PDF and uploaded it to Kinkos to print on 8.5x11" paper for me. They didn't do binding too well, so I just took the printed sheets home, folded them in half and put the booklets together myself. I did a simple staple saddle-binding with a long-reach stapler. Had I known better, I would have bought the Bostitch Saddle Stapler instead.
I also made my own inserts with a Cambridge graph paper pad. I used a cardstock cover and used 15 8.5x11" sheets folded in half.
I've made dot grid notebooks using gridzzly.com. Make a copy of the one-sided PDF and use https://combinepdf.com/ to put them together. Then print the 2 pages out back to back. Print out 10-ish sheets of dot paper, fold them in half, bind them together with a cardstock cover.
Is that the kind of tips/advice you're looking for?
I use these and looove them.

I love this little notepad. It's even got the little reminder on the pad to help you keep track of your water intake. If you are anything like me you have a ton of things to do and lists make life so much easier!
It's got a date spot, a "to do" - always got something to do/bills to pay/cleaning or laundry to get done, "to buy" - I always have a running tab on that, "to call" - great for appts, etc, "today I'm grateful for" - because often times we forget that, meals - because I'm always forgetting what I had planned for dinner that day, and lastly "exercise" - umm.. what's that? ROFL
It's Prime Time!
#1 & #2 & #3 & #4 - The best way to keep yourself moving forward, stay organized, and hold yourself accountable is to keep a checklist or to-do list! I have a pretty terrible memory, and can be notorious for putting things off, so this is a must have for me. Even keeping a calendar with little notes to yourself, or putting up a sticky note by your door... Anything that keeps your schedule organized that you can check off as you go. Just holding yourself accountable can do wonders for your confidence even, it reminds you how much you do/can do for yourself, and it honestly feels great to complete your whole daily checklist, and see it all marked off. I don't know if that's what you're looking for, but it helps me a lot!
#5 - This post I saw on the front page earlier makes me laugh way too much. Also this video never fails to make me smile.
