Field Notes is made in the USA (Plus) But has goofy writing on the cover and has staples, not, stiches (Minus). More expensive than Moleskine (Minus) Doesn't have detachable back pages (Plus). Keeping these in the back pocket, the papers tend to try to separate. TIPS FOR TAKING A JOURNAL WITH YOU ALWAYS: -Get a Moleskine or Field Notes and keep it with you like your keys and wallet. Never, ever leave it behind. Get in the habit. -Don't let anyone read it themselves. If you use it as a diary, this rule lets you write in it more confidently. Also, don't tell everyone it's your "diary" or "journal". Tell most people it's just a private notepad. This keeps nosy people out of it. -Don't forget the pen! A good pen (not gel) or pencil should do fine. -Sitting around at the DMV? Write a bit. Thinking about a movie you saw? Write about it. Looking at a cute girl across the bar? Take note (if you have time). It's the little things that bring back memories you'll never remember you have. Oh, and if you're drunk and your friends put you in the shower with your clothes on... take the journal out of your pocket.
