Can’t live without these books 📚

!!! Attention all notebook lovers !!!

(not sponsored but I wish I was hahaha)

🥤Why I love Paperideas’ notebooks

They’re first and foremost ✨high quality notebooks available at affordable prices✨ This makes them my top choice above brands like Leuchtturm and Moleskine.

In terms of look and feel, they’re very similar to the Leuchtturm ones. The paper isn’t as luxurious, but ink doesn’t ghost as much on the Paperideas papers. I’m also a fan of the vibrant colours. Swipe to the last image to see how many I’ve gotten this year.

🥤 My personal favs

✨ A6 - personal use

It’s just the right size to carry in my small bags, and fits nicely into my palm. The portability makes all the difference, and increases my utility rate.

✨ A5 - for work

Meeting notes, project planning, notes for timesheet etc. My brainstorming tool, essentially. A5 fits nicely into my laptop bag and is big enough for me to see all the info I need in one spread.

🥤 Use cases

✨ Personal: doodling/scribbling on the train

On longer train rides, I can write or doodle down ideas for creative projects. The A6 notebook and pen fits in almost all my bags, which means I can access it always.

✨ Work: notetaking during meetings

I absolutely have to take notes during meetings. Writing stuff down prolongs my attention span, helps me connect ideas and allows me to interact with the info and revisit what was covered in a visual way.

🥤 Bullet journals, all-in-ones, commonplace books

Probably will need to do another 2-3 posts to explain these, but essentially these are all ways to use your notebook as your second brain. By jotting down everything that crosses your mind, you free up storage space and start to have more thinking space.

🥤 Analog vs digital (why I still do pen and paper)

Going digital has its perks, of course, but I find it doesn’t tap on human intuition the same way analog does. If I have multiple thoughts at once, I’m more inclined to scribble all across the page than to type them down row by row. There’s also a certain clarity that comes with writing stuff down.

If you’re still reading, I encourage you to get an A6 notebook (doesn’t even have to be paperideas lol), go analog, and #SavourTheMoment - pen and paper style.
