I recenty realised that I've been blocked by using expensive notebooks. Now I buy cheap notebooks or make my own with good paper (but they look crap). And that's exacly the reason I'm not affraid of using them and spoil them. Thanks for writting about it, felt really related and understood.

I could not agree more. I've been using cheap composition notebooks for years. The graph paper ones are hard to find, but they are tough as nails, can be covered with stickers, and don't take up a lot of space/weight.

I love that! The notebooks I use are probably too expensive, but they’re really suited for how I use notebooks. I ask for them for birthdays and Christmas.

Here is a picture of my current notebook. I number and date them on the inside for indexing.

Excellent. I love loading mine up with stickers, too.

Love this article. Most of my notebooks are ugly and there is nothing wrong with that. Enjoyed seeing your notebook, too.
