Ermahgerd... NOTEBOOKS!
Living with ADHD and OCD means periodically I develop (and get overly-excited over) a new, elaborate organization system that I somehow, foolishly, believe will last forever.
However, this week I've got a tremendous new system that I think may last forever!
The Tremendous Development!
You can now write and preserve data in a physical, human-readable format that's immune to hard drive failures! And it's like, right there in front of you so you're less likely to forget about it!
But the best part is...
These Don't Suck!
Remember these 99 cent bois from grade school?
Garbage.
But TankieTanuki, those are the cheapest ones, which means they're the notebooks of The People!
No. Full stop. Don't even.
You're an adult. Your thoughts are worth preserving. These aren't diamond-encrusted—it's like paying twice as much for the boots that last ten times as long. These were not expensive: The A6 ones were about $3.00 each and the A5 were $5.50.
Do you think Stalin's commissars were recording state grain quotas on those shitty McJournals where the spiral falls out the fourth time you open it and the ink bleeds through three pages at a time?
No.
Stalin would have shot your ass for doing a shitty job and you'd have deserved it.

Adorably Smol
A5 for studying. A6 for writing down bit ideas or memos.

That's right. Those are mother-fucking DOTS on those pages!
You can draw technical shit like tables better because of the vertical guides, but it's less conspicuous than grid/graph paper.
-
PAGE NUMBERS!!? You better believe it. Leverage the power of INDEXING!
Also the red A6 one looks like Quotations from Mao Zedong.
I may start getting into fountain pens now. Lord, help me. 
You're viewing a single thread.
My recommendation for pens would be the AIHAO x97, its the better version of a Pilot Precise V5. Also if you prefer a marker style pen I suggest the Tombow hard tip brush pen, it's the better fine point Sharpie.
I bought a JINHAO a couple weeks ago. Is that good?
My handwriting is bad with it; I'm not used to the reduced friction. Is there a trick to the technique? I'm much better with the Pilot G-2.
That is a fancy fountain pen, I have no idea if that's a good pen or not.

It was like $8.
