If anyone is interested in a great utility pencil, look at the Pentel Twist-Erase GT. Replaceable eraser, super long lead tip, comfortable grip. I have a preference for graph paper because I can place any idea anywhere on the page exactly where I want it to go. I only use one side of the paper so I don't have to flip back and forth between pages to remember what I wrote. Using looseleaf paper and a central folder might be more viable for some people vs. a notebook. A nice, new, specially ordered blank notebook can be intimidating to write in. You also have to keep track of a journal to use it. Looseleaf paper is a much smaller mental investment to get the habit started - you can just throw it away if you mess up.
