How to Process Your Everyday Ideas Using a Notebook
The Everyday Notebook isn’t pretty, but it’s just about perfect.

I love notebooks. Love. Notebooks.
Real paper notebooks of all kinds. Pretty ones that cost a small fortune.Plain old spiral-bound ones. Hipster ones that have smooth paper I can’t stop rubbing my fingers against. It doesn’t matter. I love all of them.
There’s one notebook that I love more than all of the others, though. My notebook. My Everyday Notebook. It’s the one notebook that I use all year (usually one lasts me all year.)
Every year I think I’m going to try a different one and every year, I don’t. I get this one, like I have for the last four years. It has 300 pages (600 sheets), which is big enough to be substantial and not too big to actually use.
I carry it around with me, when I’m on top of my game. I leave it in my office for three days during a snow storm when I’m not. As time has gone on, I’ve gotten better and better at using my Everyday Notebook efficiently (and actually every day) and it’s gotten better at making my life happen.
