DIY Notebook

My requirements for a good notebook are quite simple:

  • No lines: I get distracted by all those lines in most notebooks. I literally can’t read words on them. Or rather: there is no instant focus on the important stuff
  • Pages should be fixed: For a while I used map full of regular printing paper, I liked it, but after a while it gets messy, the pages get scrambled up, etc.
  • Every page must be the front page for a certain time. When I take the notebook out of my bag I don’t want to search for the page I’m focused on, it needs to be just there.
  • Often I put my notebook in front of my laptop, the notebook needs to fit between the laptop and my belly. A horizontal A4 fits.
  • A notebook should not be tiny. I need to make sketches, note miniature drawings. An A4 fits.

I love this, not just for the simplicity of the idea, but also for the fact that the creator included a buy it now link. Genius. (HT Signal vs. Noise)
