Using Cheap Notebooks

Tiramisu, on ティラミス:

Rather than beckoning me to write, the perfection of fancy notebooks serves as a source of constant anxiety.

I know they are right, but how I love a BaronFig Confidant notebook. Still, over the past few years I’ve compromised and usually get a Maruman MNEMOSYNE, which is usually less than $10.

I always find myself drawn to the cheapest notebooks I can find, spiral and composition ones that you can get at Staples for a quarter during back to school sales.

I can relate. Around 2014-2015, a time I did some of my most intense work, I mostly used small yellow legal pads that were available in the office. I didn’t have time for anything fancy.
