There are different strokes for different folks: •
Many creative wannabes use
Moleskine (
http://www.moleskine.com/us/home
) notebooks. I use them myself.
These high-quality leather-bound books are made in Italy and cost from $9 to
$25.
•
Some Moleskine fans
are switching to Ecosystem
(
http://www.ecosystemlife.com/)
notebooks, including Michael Hyatt
(
http://michaelhyatt.com/why-i-ditched-my-moleskine-journal.html
),
because they use recycled paper, are made in the USA,
and each page
is perforated.
•
For many years, I preferred the more expensive and
unfortunately very nerdy Boorum & Pease Account Book. It’s hard
cover, 300 pages so it lasts a long time,
thick enough to stand up and
stand out on a bookshelf—and so big I never misplaced it.

Author and entrepreneur James Altucher
(http://www.jamesaltucher.com/) recommends waiter’s pads, which
cost ten cents each. He explains they are the perfect size and a great
conversation starter—they also show people you’re frugal.
Notice that nobody is recommending yellow legal pads or loose pieces of
paper. They are just too easy to get lost in stacks or otherwise damaged.
Notebooks are designed to last.
