I personally can't use Moleskines. Not because of the paper or binding lacks quality, but because they _are_ so nice—I can't bring myself to "mess up" an expensive notebook with my notes. I much prefer to use regular copy paper. That way, I can freely get ideas out without worrying about messing up a relatively expensive notebook.
Once as an experiment, I bought a Moleskine, unwrapped it and promptly scribbled like mad on the first page in an attempt to get past that. Didn't work—I still felt really bad about it.
- Semiapies 11y agoI used to get the little pocket ones that were $10 for 3 and had no trouble writing in them. Field Notes have the same price point, but I like their paper better. (The top of a page in particular has space I can put a title that'll stand out.)
