Do you folks carry around pocket notebooks? Or has this practice become most popularly digital?
- evangineer 15y agoI generally carry around notebooks even though I have Evernote on my android device.
- Uhhrrr 15y agoI've tried taking notes on my phone, but it takes a few seconds to get the app open. Who wants that? Also, sketching on a phone (or a pad) is for the birds.
- jlees 15y agoI've always got between one and four notebooks with me.
- sixtofour 15y agoAlways, notebook and pen. Write, draw, rip out a page and give it to someone, deflect a bullet.
- angusgr 15y agoI carry a spiral-bound notebook a lot. I don't trust it as permanent storage though. I try to regularly tear pages out and either copy them somewhere permanent (usually digital) or throw them away.
- tricky 15y agoYes. I keep what has evolved into some sort of log book of my days. I did it because I always write things-to-do and reminders on post-it notes. I used to throw them away, but realized I had no idea what I did with my days. Now I tape them (post-it's lose their sticky after a while) in the notebook along with handwritten notes. I occasionally scan the pages and put them on dropbox so I can easily flip through old notebooks if I need to find something. Square ruled notebooks happen to be the only way I can keep my Seinfeld calendars going, too.
- giardini 15y agoI use an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet folded twice. This fits perfectly in a back pocket and gives me 4 pages to make notes on. I usually reserve two pages for the categories of "personal to-do" and "business to-do". As items are completed they are crossed off. Once notes get too crowded or most items have been checked off or crossed out (completed), I unfold the sheet, copy incomplete items to a new folded sheet and put the the old sheet in a file.
