Moleskine Soft Cover Pocket Journal Set, Pebble Grey

I carry one of these around with me at all times, they have gotten squished, soaked, and thrown but the pages have always stayed in tact without any ink bleed. I am not personally a fan of the removable pages at the end of the book as they tend to come out on their own but there are plenty of pages before those ones that I count them as only a bonus. A great set of notebooks that are easy to carry around due to their size.

I’ve bought these journals over the past several years and use them for note-taking and sketching on a daily basis. The small size, flexibility and durability of these notebooks is ideal for travel anywhere.

La uso para tomar notas en plantas y es muy práctica. La cargo en la bolsa de mi pantalón, no me estorba, no es grande, resistente, hojas gruesas y un ligero compartimiento al final de la libreta. Mi único error, pedirla gris, mis manos están un poco sucias por lo general y ya tengo colección de aceite en ella.

This size of Moleskine is perfect for fitting in a pocket and serves me well as my “everything” notebook. I use it to sketch out ideas, remember contacts, to do lists, even take notes in class when I can’t find my larger notebook in the mess of life. This notebook is always in my pocket and is replacing my Galaxy Note 4 for note taking, lists and anything I need to write down quickly (especially due dates). I usually use .38mm ballpoint pens and sometimes .5mm mechanical pencils.
Moleskine is The Brand Name for notebooks. The paper has an excellent texture that is great for ink and graphite and the pages are good thickness, balancing portability and durability. The highlight of the craftsmanship however, is the binding: small consistent, durable stitching.

These notebooks are nice and thin, with flexible covers. I like that they aren’t bulky and they lay flat when you open them. I have one or two of them nearby at all times to take down notes or do sketches in. The pages are strong, but not stiff. Nor are they thick and wetter media will show through, so it is inconvenient to use both sided of the page if you’re using heavy black ink such as fountain pens or felt tips. Ball-points and pencils are ideal in these books.
I haven’t yet decided if I am going to continue buying these, or carry on the search for the perfect notebook. They’re useful, simply made and inexpensive, but still… I’m not in love.

Perfect for tucking in your pocket or purse, so thin and flexible, but strong–they hold up well. Sort of a versatile “diary” to record random information. I like the plain (no lines) so I can draw a diagram or write small or large or whatever. Since this slips so easily into almost anything I carry, I always have something permanent to make a note in, which is easily retrieved later. And the pocket on the back inside cover can hold business cards, stamps, etc..
Also, for an organizational system, I bought several packs of these in different colors to record information for reference. I label these “Health” (enter symptoms, visits, tests, etc. with dates), “Guests” (include dates and menus), “Weight” (if I’m keeping track!),”Auto” (what and when repairs were done), “Computer” (problems to have my kid teach me how to deal with when he visits!), etc.–you get the idea. This works better for me than most files and other systems I’ve tried! Probably because they’re accessible–they can be tucked into a small convenient space, and are good-looking enough to mingle with the décor.

Love the quality of the Moleskin. The cover can get dirty easily, but still a very lightweight and very portable notebook.
