I still have my first college Moleskine which also was something way “too good” to waste so has about 20 pages used, the rest are blank!
I now use free vendor notebooks from events and random pens. And a £2 flip notebook for daily to-dos.
- sanderjd 4y agoI think the biggest advantage to buying my own stuff is standardization. Nothing drives me crazier than a bunch of schwag notebooks of different shapes and sizes all jumbled in a drawer.
- jwdunne 4y agoI’ve done this too. Quite the contrast to my disorganised life. I have two types: lined and square paper. Both hardback and book bound (find ring binds don’t play nice with me and I lose pages). Get the exact same ones each time, apart from a few old ones whilst I was in my discovery phase. The lined ones come in a stack of 5 so always have one ready to go. Also use a single type of pen: a black staedtler fine liner. They in a box of 10.
- sanderjd 4y agoRight! The "exact same ones each time" is way more important to me than which ones. Or rather, the exact same shape; I experiment with dotted vs. lined vs. grid (though I've pretty much entirely decided on dotted at this point).
- spicybright 4y agoIt's funny, I purposely avoid this so each period of my life using it has a memberable notebook style I can look at on the shelf and reference quickly if I need to. I generally get small ones and try to do a new one every 6 months depending on how many notes there are.
