How to Use Rocketbook Dividers to Organize Multiple Projects in One Notebook

If you juggle multiple projects at once, carrying a separate notebook for each one quickly becomes unwieldy. The beauty of a reusable notebook is that you can keep everything in one place—but only if you have a clear system to separate your work. Rocketbook dividers aren't a separate product you buy; they're a method you create using the tools you already have, like the Rocketbook Beacons, different colored Frixion pens, and the free Rocketbook app. This guide walks you through a practical divider setup that keeps your projects distinct and your scanning effortless.

Whether you're managing a marketing campaign, a home renovation, and a side hustle all at once, you need a way to flip to the right section without thumbing through every page. By combining visual cues, smart titles, and destination folders, you can turn any Rocketbook notebook into a multi-project powerhouse. Let's dive into the step-by-step process.
Why Use Dividers in a Reusable Notebook?
Traditional paper notebooks rely on physical tabs or sticky notes to mark sections. With a Rocketbook, you can achieve the same separation without adding bulk. The key is to use the seven icons at the bottom of each page as your virtual dividers. By assigning each icon to a specific project, you instantly know which pages belong to which work. This method also streamlines digital filing: when you scan, the app sends pages to the correct cloud destination based on the icon you check.
Another advantage is reusability. Once a project ends, you can reassign that icon to a new project without buying a new notebook. This flexibility makes the Rocketbook system ideal for freelancers, students, and anyone who hates wasting paper. The Rocketbook Flex Planner, for example, gives you a weekly layout plus blank pages, so you can combine time management with project notes—all organized by your custom divider system.
- Assign one icon per project (e.g., star for Project A, triangle for Project B).
- Use a sticky note or washi tape on the first page of each section as a visual divider.
Setting Up Your Rocketbook Divider System
Start by deciding which projects you want to track. For each project, choose a unique icon from the seven at the bottom of your Rocketbook page. Write the project name next to that icon in pen—use a different color Frixion pen for each project if you want an extra visual cue. For example, use the Frixion Pen (7 Pack) to assign one color per project. Then, at the beginning of each project section, place a Rocketbook Beacon as a physical bookmark. The Beacon sticks to any page and acts as a reusable tab you can move as your notes grow.
Next, open the Rocketbook app and set up your destination folders. In the app, go to Settings > Smart Titles & Destinations. For each icon, assign a cloud service folder (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) and a naming rule. For instance, the star icon could send pages to a folder called "Marketing Campaign" and automatically name files with the date. This way, when you scan, your notes are filed correctly without manual sorting.
- Use a different Frixion color per project for quick visual scanning.
- Label each icon directly on the page so you don't forget which project it represents.
Daily Workflow: Using Your Divider Setup
Each day, open your Rocketbook to the section you need. If you're working on Project A, flip to the first page marked with the star icon. Take notes, sketch ideas, or fill out a template. When you're done, check the star icon at the bottom of the page, then scan with the app. The page automatically goes to the correct folder and gets a smart title. This eliminates the need to sort pages later.
If a project grows beyond a few pages, simply add more pages in that section. The Rocketbook Pro Page Pack lets you add extra pages to your notebook, so you never run out of space. Just insert the new pages behind your Beacon tab, and continue. When the project ends, erase the pages with a damp cloth, move the Beacon to a new section, and reassign the icon to your next project. The system resets instantly.
- Scan pages daily to keep your digital files up to date.
- Erase and reuse pages as projects wrap up—no need to archive physical notebooks.
Using Rocketbook dividers is a simple, low-cost way to manage multiple projects without carrying separate notebooks. By assigning icons, using Beacons as physical tabs, and setting up smart destinations in the app, you create a system that's both analog and digital. The result: a clutter-free bag, a tidy cloud drive, and the freedom to start a new project whenever you want. Give it a try with your Rocketbook Flex Planner or any Rocketbook notebook, and see how much easier project organization becomes.
