jan 2nd I finally received the other notebook. With a note that this completes my order. My son loves the moleskin notebooks for lab notes. However this year the vendor didn't send the product until I sent a complaint, Then 1 notebook arrived. I ordered 2.and then an e mail to amazon.
I love how it looks when I flip though the used pages. But once you have passed the second hurdle, the hardest one comes, putting it down. I have always loved to write. It is small so I can take it everywhere. I love how it has an elastic enclosure and a bookmark to mark my pages. I've always been very particular about the little things.But that's why the Moleskine is the perfect notebook, it satisfies the little things. I love it. And this little black notebook has won my heart and my pen.
They aren't cheap, but they are well worth it. I love the back pocket which is roomier then you would imagine. It's something you have to try for yourself. I'm eighteen years old, I use three at a time. The second is breaking it in.
There are three difficulties when it comes to Moleskine. The notebook is something that I can look back on and remember my time and my life as it once was.Again, it's the little things that get me excited. It was always to big or two small or the lines were to far apart or I had to use a specific pen etc. The first word is always very daunting because it looks to perfect to taint. I use Zebra F-301 Ball Point pen for the Moleskine, and they flow so well on the acid free paper.I love how compact and sleek it is. I carry mine everywhere. I keep a picture of my mother when she was close to my age in there.
But my problem was sticking with the journal I was on. The smaller lines allow me to fit more on a page and they allow my small handwriting to fill up the page as well. It serves as a reminder how I am to today, and where I could be in twenty years. Buy one and try it out, you know you want to. It very bittersweet when you finish one.When you write in a Moleskine, you feel like a writer. I've been keeping some form of a journal since I was in the first grade. I love how the pages are thin but sturdy.
The first is actually purchasing the notebook.
Just get one, try it out, thank me later. And I have to say that I've found some el-cheapo Mead products that'll get the job done in a pinch, but honestly, there's nothing like this litte notebook. Can you get by with something else. Truely, this is the iPhone of notebooks. What I' m about to relate is gushing praise, but I assure it's 100% true and not mere sarcasm: This is the best collection of unmarked pages between two covers that you will ever own.
It's ten bucks. Sure. I've used a moleskine notebook as a day planner every year since 2004. Okay, I'll bite. I honestly don't know what I'd do without it.
Ruled pages, hard cover, bookmark, inside pocket, they thought of everything and even managed to make it small and aesthetically pleasing.
I don't know that you could ask for more from a notebook but this has been the ultimate travel tool, body armor, brain dump, artistic escape, GTD list, shopping list, map holder, goal saver, love maker, and Thetan blocker that I could have ever asked for.
Didn't find that to be much of a problem.I'll never go back to a full size notebook and I'm hooked on this durable little guy. A few people made comments that you can't use gel type ink pens because the ink smears when you close the book. I use it for all my my notes at work (I'm an executive at a fortune 200 company), and the little pocket in the back cover is perfect for business cards. Paper doesn't "crash", it can't be hacked, copied or get infected with a virus. Very durable. On my last one, the spine split during a three week trip to India, but none of the pages fell out.
It took a pretty good beating and it even accompanied me on an elephant ride. I filled a few "Black and Red" brand notebooks, and while they are high quality they are a little big (8.5 x 11). your butt gets used to it. All of my business notes are in the front and I start from the back for personal lists and notes that I want to keep. This one is small enough that I can put it in my back pocket (jeans or dress pants). I diligently tried to go digital with a few different PDA's including my Blackberry, but I kept coming back to pen and paper.
The spine has a little give even though its a hard cover and I can sit on it and it isn't too uncomfortable. That way, no matter where I am, I've got my personal and business stuff handy.I've filled three of them so for.
