Out of curiosity what kind of notebook do you use?
- Jtsummers 6y agoNot GP, but I stumbled across these [0] at a Barnes & Noble and have been quite happy. Take ink well (including from fountain pens), take abuse well (I regularly fold it nearly in half to have just a page on top). And it's very inexpensive compared to a lot of popular brands.

- karolkozub 6y agoI use very cheap notebooks with a plain paper cover. I tried more expensive Moleskine notebooks a while ago and found a surprising problem with them. They were too beautiful to use. I couldn't bring myself to blemish them with my unfiltered flow-of-mind notes which would often turn out chaotic and stupid. I would only write things down selectively when I felt they were worthy and sufficiently structured. This would in turn inhibit most of my writing and significantly reduce the value of this habit. With a cheaper notebook the effect disappears. The less holy it is, the more useful it becomes. On the other hand I highly recommend finding a really good pen to write with.

- karolkozub 6y agoFirst of all let me make clear that by "really good" I don't necessarily mean expensive. Instead, the goodness of the pen will be reflected in how pleasant it is to write with it. A good pen feels right in your hand and on paper. Its line thickness matches your writing, and its color matches your taste. Different people will have different preferences and it might take some time to find the right one. Personally I use "Pilot Super Grip G F" [0] – a 0.7mm black retractable ballpoint pen and I always keep one in my notebook.
