Moleskine Cahier Journal Squared (3 Pack)
It's in a leather notebook sleeve / case I picked up from Lands End Canvas a few years ago. It's not made anymore, but it's very nice leather, I love it.
Here's the link. I really like these types of notebooks because the dots are helpfull but not intrusive like graphpaper
One of those foldable metal clipboards are helpful to keep everything together. I keep all my PHI on easily throw-away-able pieces of paper in the clipboard, and then a separate small notebook for notes I have on diseases, treatments, things to look up for the next day etc.
That way its just Clipboard for PHI crap, Notebook for Stuff to Learn.
What I need help with is how to organize my PHI half-sheets. Some residents have beautifully organized half sheets on their pts.. mine are always kinda scattered.

A really nice graph paper or dotted paper notebook. Sort of like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Moleskine-Classic-Notebook-Sketching-Journaling/dp/B015NG44GG?th=1
They are really nice for problem-solving and writing pseudo-code in. I am almost never without one. Also, I always have a little passport-sized one in my back pocket at all times because you never know when you will solve a problem and need to jot it down.
It would also probably be nice to include some nice pens or pencils with a notebook. Maybe a box of Blackwing pencils, which are excellent. Or maybe one of those space pens, they are pretty nice.
I've gone through dozens of these, and I'm sure if anyone who didn't know me well ran across one, they'd assume I had schizophrenia and megalomania with their detailed accounts of complicated demonic plots to overthrow various fictional kingdoms with mercurial names and byzantine systems of governance.
Sorry it took me a while, I'm italian and I tried to look for the same items in Amazon.com instead of Amazon.it. Here's the complete list (from left to right, and from top to bottom):
​
Sieht nach typischen Pigment Linern aus, kann die von Staedtler empfehlen. Das Skizzenbuch sieht nach nem klassischen Moleskine oder Leuchtturm 1917 aus
It’s by Lemome, I got it on Amazon UK
The only crutch is it doesn’t have numbered pages for the index page
totally! i use the pocket-sized moleskin notebooks (softcover, no lines). they use acid-free paper. no lines b/c then you can sketch in them too. pocket-sized and softcover b/c they're so convenient to carry around.
https://www.amazon.com/Moleskine-Classic-Notebook-Pocket-Notebooks/dp/8883707141/ref=sr_1_19?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1485744503&sr=1-19&keywords=moleskine
I'm not sure how big your pages are, but a good sturdy notebook with nice paper that I really love would be the Leuchtturm Master: https://www.amazon.com/Kikkerland-Leuchtturm-Master-Ruled-Notebook/dp/B002BWDKQQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469827744&sr=8-1&keywords=leuchtturm+master
Unfortunately it may not be enough paper depending on what you're looking for, but it will certainly hold up if you decide to get two or three and copy your text in volumes. Hope this helps!
I use Leuchtturm1917. I find the A5 to be the most convenient size.
These are the exact ones I used: https://www.amazon.com/Moleskine-Cahier-Cover-Journal-Pebble/dp/8883704983/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=moleskin+soft+cover+notebook&qid=1572903903&sprefix=moleskin+sof&sr=8-5&th=1&psc=1&utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
They come in an assortment of colors if plain cardboard color isn’t your thing :)

I got mine last month in cork colour, lined. I like it more than the L1917 I had previously. It's a really good choice, if you don't mind having less pages for better quality paper. It's cheaper too. I would try one, and get something else next time if you fill it up too quickly.
If you need more detail, my review of it is actually the first one here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dotted-Journal-Notebook-PRODUCT-PROMOTION/product-reviews/B075NKDSBZ/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_acr_sr?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews titled 'Great paper'.
I was in a similar place as you. Here's what I got:
I wanted a small EDC that I could fit into all my pockets. It's not for everyone, but it's worked out really well for me. I use the pen almost daily, and even though it's only my third favorite in terms of writing, always having a pen on me is awesome. The Mirca has been great for just having a decent pair of scissors and a pocket knife. The other features will pay for itself when the time comes. The notebook I keep in my back pocket with the pen. It goes with always having something to write with, I now have something to write on.
I really should post my EDC soon, seeing as this sub was what inspired me to pick up those items.
Also might be worth looking at Leuchtturm a5 softcover dotted. more pages than a cahier, but also slightly bigger
Buy one of these and never go anywhere without it and a pen. Whenever you say something that makes someone laugh, write it down. It doesn't matter how silly, just jot it down. Then read it later and see if you can try to tease any situations or jokes out of it and develop it from there. You'll probably develop a good system as you keep going, but for me just keeping a record of little funny things I heard or said through my day allowed me to get some ideas.

you don't HAVE to buy anything fancy. a lot of BuJo like to have their journals be very pretty and decorated; to each their own, but functionally, all you need is a notebook and a pen. i do, however, prefer dot grid notebooks.
i got this
and then got this
i loved the aesthetic of my first one, but i'm rough with my notebooks and the paper cover ended up bending and getting torn up. the second was a plus too because it was spiral, not book bound. however, given the choice, if i got a book cover for the notebooks i would choose the second one for sure.
Leuchtturm! You can easily get one for under $20 on Amazon depending on color and page layout (grid, lined, dotted or plain). Here's a black A5 (5.75" x 8.25") with grid paper for $15.08. With 249 pages, it's a good deal. I have one and love the paper.
Definitely will cause I really like it thus far, although I'm new to the notebook game!
Got it on Amazon. Here's the link Northbooks Notebook / Journal, 96 Dot Grid Pages, Acid Free Sheets, 5x8 | Made in USA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013VPDJLW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xf6RybFKB00GJ
Virtually everyone on Amazon seems to really like it as well. The paper has a nice weight to it and seems to be rather sturdy. It is a little bigger than the edc range, being 5"x8". Despite this, I plan on carrying it around pretty often. Recently I have got into woodworking and wanted paper to have the quad effect so I could more easily create angles, lines, and boxes. The dots make it easier to see a solid line going straight across than normal quad paper does and I enjoy that aspect of it.
The spine of the book while strong, doesn't make the paper have creases, even on the first couple pages. Hopefully this is a sign of good quality.
Overall, I'm happy with my first purchase and thanks for being so welcoming!
Moleskine or Leuchtturm.
Both are really durable and will last you a long time.
Problem will be, that you stated “hardcover” and “size of field notes” those are almost always excluding each other due to fabrication process.
I use Moleskine softcover and they never failed me.
These are pretty nice and about the right size. Wire binding though.
Mnemosyne - N195A
Just picked these up the other day. They're tiny.
Moleskin is beautiful and soft to the touch. You need this pair to tuck away in your pocket for any idea that might come up!

Kepprage is no fun at all, but the symptoms will decrease as it leaves your system. Keppra -> Lyrica for me, because I almost got into a fistfight with a 70 year old man because he was shoveling snow off of his driveway too loudly, and I just snapped. Not happy AT ALL that I'm stuck on Lyrica, but incredibly relieved that I'm off of Keppra.
I went from 600mg of Lamictal to 450mg of Lamictal XR, and it helped immensely with the dizziness and word fishing side-effects. See what your neuro thinks about extended release meds. In my case, a slightly lower dosage of XR was more effective than upping my dosage of the regular stuff. Same thing happened with Tegretol vs. Tegretol XR. I went from 1400mg daily to 1200mg daily.
As for the forgetting tasks, I suggest note taking. I got a pocket-sized notebook and began writing everything down and crossing things off the list after I had completed the task. It was immensely helpful, and after a few months I noticed that I no longer had to check my notebook. Just the act of writing things down improved my short-term memory quite a bit.
Good luck with the meds, friend. Don't go punching stationary objects in anger. The stationary objects always win. ;)
I like this one personally https://www.amazon.com/Moleskine-Classic-Notebook-Extra-Notebooks/dp/8883707265/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494882538&sr=8-1&keywords=Moleskine+Soft+Extra+Large+Plain+Notebook
I like large blank pages as it gives you more room to be creative.
As many have said, there's no one-size-fits-all method. Here's mine.
I've been keeping a journal since I was 10 (I'm 43 now). This system evolved over time and I expect it will continue to evolve. But my memory is pretty problematic because of PTSD, so journalling is really worth the effort for me.
I found it on amazon. While the size can be kind of inconvenient when I don't have a lot of room to spread it out on, I do love having the extra space, and the paper quality. It is wider ruled than the smaller ones although I don't think it is quite wide ruled by standard notebook measurements. Maybe somewhere between college and wide when comparing to common notebooks. I keep a smaller Leuchtturm1917 with me when I go somewhere and just want something to write random stuff in. I am a bit of a notebook nerd but I plan to stick with the master classic when it comes to my everyday journalling at home.
Here is a link to the one I purchased. I'm pretty sure you can find all varieties in that size.
Is it this sketchbook?

I've been looking for one that could be used for both water color and pencil
Dotted Notebook Hardcover Black 5x8.25, 240Pages -Best For School, Dotted Journal, Executive Notebook -100gsm Dotted Paper No Bleed Through, Elastic C https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N8ZXUX7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_t3ZB5UeCZ6eip
It's a bit smaller than the 1917 but I like it so far!
Just thought this would be fun to do.

My little moleskine has lots of stuff in it. I use it as a wallet so it has my insurence, license, utk id, and debit card in the pocket. It has sketches of people, lab procedure notes for the ic machine and cellulose towers, notes for my dslr, contact info for people I just met, to do lists, passwords, my hours at my 2 jobs, computer part notes from where I was building my new desktop. I went to the High Museum in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago, I have sketches in my notebook from there and lists of artists I want to look up. It have quotes I've found and liked. Books people have recommended I get. It even has notes on in which of my Skyrim save files I'm a vampire and which ones I'm dawnguard.
I fill one of these up every couple of months: http://www.amazon.com/Moleskine-Plain-Notebook-Cover-Pocket/dp/8883707141
I eventually back up my notebooks on my computer through photos, Evernote and Dropbox.
If I lost my notebook before it was backed up, life would get very hard very quickly.
I realy like notbookes with 5mm dotted paper. You have squares to draw maps and can you the dots as reference for things you write. Also the dots are not as distracting as lines or squares.
Something like this.
I'll bite. In my pockets:
Add the crap in my bag:
I have a hardback notebook I use for list building and campaigns. The back cover has a pocket that fits the ability cards perfectly. I have a normal ultra pro card holder for the unit stats.
This card box
This notebook
So, since I am one of those people who wants to feel "writer-y." Tell me of a good, cheaper alternative for my unlined moleskine. To get something as durable I've used sketchbooks, but they are bulky and the paper, if quality, is far too rough toothed to be written with as it's ment for graphite, pastel or charcoal. Or I could use pen sketchbooks that tend to have a much bulkier cover if they are spiral bound or lose paper if they are glue bound. They also tend to come with white paper that in bright sun light can be used as a bounce light source which I suppose can help, but I find useless for my needs. If I forget about the durability my notebooks die a quick and unfilled death. My problem might be that I want too much and I have to accept that I just have to spend (ouch I thought it was only $14 last time) $16.46. But seriously I'm tired of dropping near $20 every time I fill one of these up. So can you help a brother out? I like the off white color (cream? egg yolk?), durability and size. My sketch books cost me just as much. I need to be able to draw and write because they are how I keep my art notes. Anybody?
Hmm, mine is actually fine and quite taught. Sorry to hear that though, I know it's only a few bucks but little things like that bug the shit out of me! Plus at around $13 for a notebook that small you'd think that there would be some decent quality control.
Just for clarification to be sure we're on the same page, or for others, the notebook is a Moleskine Classic Notebook, Extra Small, Ruled, Black, Hard Cover (2.5 x 4) (Classic Notebooks)
I also have the two pack of soft covers at the same size and specifications, but I like the hardcover much better, as it has the bookmark, elastic, triple the pages, and the little fold out folder thing in the back.
Nice system! I particularly like how you use the front inside cover.
My brother uses these small Moleskin notebooks because they fit in his shirt pocket. I'd do the same, but women's clothes tend to have either no pockets at all, or pockets so small they're pretty much useless.
I can't remember the brand but it definitely came in a set of three with a yellow and white paper band across them so I am guessing they were Moleskine. This set is similar except my book is light grey.
Focus for your computer, Forest for your phone, and some moleskines to take notes while producing.
my absolute favorite so far has got to be the minimalism art A5 bullet notebook. it's a bit smaller than alot of the journals i see on here, but it has neber done me wrong (i.e, i have never had a marker or pen bleed through lol). also, if you haven't got the most amount of money to spend on the journal, it's cheap (compared to the more popular bullet journals)
if you're interested, here's the link to where i got mine on amazon, but i'm sure you could find it in store too, i think i've seen it at target and michael's but don't hold me on that:

I was just browsing the sales and saw this will be on sale at 5:24 AM PST. I'm almost tempted..but I'm only 60 pages in my current bullet journal haha.
I also see a lot of fountain pens that will be on sale but I'm not quite ready to make that fountain pen jump yet. I was hoping Tombows and/or mildliners would be on sale but I don't see anything :(
Thank you! If you’re interested in getting one, I believe it’s [this one.]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M1CP9KE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_uiiACbMXRW1YH
It’s lasted me a real long time (thus far). I don’t doubt you’d be satisfied!
> Leuchtturm 1917 A5 dotted
Io uso questo, non mi trovo male, la puntinatura è la cosa migliore.
Su Amazon. IMHO meglio della Moleskine.
Happy birthday, little baby Noodle!
Here's a happy birthday doggy surprise! Dogs always cheer me up when I'm down, and I just really love that video. It makes me happy as can be, and I hope it gives you a little bit of cheer as well.
​
Here's a journal that I've had my eye on for a while. They're also environmentally friendly! I love to Bullet Journal in my free time. It's a hobby that's taken my stress levels way down.
​
Happy 23rd!
I see you like stationary. Have you ever tried out Moleskin notebooks for writing? The binding on them is flat woven so you can flip them over without dealing with a spine. I like the texture of the pages too, and they're a pretty good value for multi-packs.

This is one of my latest addition to the funny gif folder. Hopefully it gets a smile. :) Cake is a girl's best friend.
Maruman Mnemosyne. Wirebound, semi-hardcover, great fountain pen paper, ~$6-7 for one notebook, and it has 80 sheets (160 back and front): https://www.amazon.com/Maruman-Hardcover-Executive-Notebook-N195A/dp/B00TES8EHA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1535955234&sr=8-3&keywords=maruman+mnemosyne
I've been using these for meetings and for other work related needs. There are also different sizes in case you want something bigger or smaller than A5.
I tend to go to Barnes and Noble for bullet journals. They have some pretty ones. My preferred journal is an A5 dotted type. Amazon also has a couple good brands too I’ve tried. Here’s the specific one I’m using right now.
I get my pens from Amazon. They’re like off-brand Staedlers: 60-pack with stencils or a smaller pack for trying.
Happy bullet journaling!
Here is what I typically carry on a normal day.
Awesome! I'm not sure what your budget is, but here are a few ideas for various price points.
-Your brother will undoubtedly have to use the adobe creative cloud suite while he's in school. It'd be nice to pay for that expense for a year!
-Graphic design content takes up a lot of room fast, so he will definitely need this. It's small enough for him to carry around, and Seagate is a great brand.
-If he has a tablet, this digital stylus could be great for sketching, rendering, or taking notes.
-To give him some inspiration for design ideas and projects!
This is a fantastic idea! You are such a thoughtful friend. Here's a list of cheap items that I would include:
• Nice pens. I am extremely partial to Uni-Ball Jetstreams
• A set of colored markers for studying and making diagrams
• Small Moleskine notebooks that easily fit into pockets for taking notes on rounds
• Ibuprofen for headaches that happen during residency. Again something small she can carry in her purse. I would suggest 200mg and maybe in a 20 count container. She can refill it as needed with her home ibuprofen. DayQuil or NyQuil are also good.
• Hot Chocolate and Hot Tea - something she can just mix with hot water and drink
• Quick snacks for when you're too busy to eat. I like Clif Bars since they're quick and filling. Special K bars and Luna Bars are also good.
• A candle to light while studying during residency can help set the mood to get work done. Or maybe that's just for me.
Hope this gives you some ideas!!
"...they're too small."
They have XLarge ones. (Which are still smaller than normal notebooks)
That's a very nice thing for you to do for your birthday!
I would love this sketchbook or this book for my husband. Or for that matter any of the many nail polishes on either my Canadian wishlist or my American wishlist. I love nail polish. :D
Yeah office depot was disappointing in my area too. If you don't mind waiting for shipping, this is the exact notebook I have.
Good point about amazon.ca. The comparable ones are listed as $17.00 from Moleskine.
But you can new ones shipped from other sellers for way less!
Thank you! It's a Minimalism Art classic notebook. $11 on Amazon! I'm really pleased with my choice.
Sorry for the low quality of the pictures. Some more info: this is the listing from which I ordered it, and from which I also bought my first notebook one year ago. The first one was completely normal.
Now, regardless of these details, it is still usable, the pages feel good and I actually like this index more than the classical one, but the lack of margins is quite annoying! Luckily Amazon refunded me the money and I still get to keep this notebook, so I'll be trying to buy another one soon (this time the anthracite colour), but I will be disappointed if it comes out the same as this one.
EDIT: I bought another one of a different colour, will update with the details when it shows up.
I purchased a Maruman Mnemosyne notebook. There is still ghosting, but it's minimal compared to the other papers I tried. Ultimately, I will have the pen tuned so it's not a gusher, but the paper is lovely and recommend it.

I relate very much!
Something you need to accept about yourself [if you haven't already] is that you have a low-energy personality type. Once you accept this, coping becomes much easier. May I offer some advice?
You have so much potential, but you'll never know just how much until you attempt to find out. Create the context in which success is possible.
Cheers!
As an illustrator. The best gift I have ever recieved was a small pocket sized moleskin watercolor sketch book with a pentel brush pen and the windsor newton travel water color pack.
All three are teensy and I always have them in my bag for when I'm bored or have down time.
The water colors
the sketch book
the brush pen
Paints last for ever, the pentel takes(and comes with) ink refills and is pretty much indestructible and the moleskin will end up being one of dozens. Personally I like keeping a tiny one just so I always have one stashed. But I get moleskin sketchbooks compulsively. They are nice to have to many of
Tell me what you do to make the world a better place. Saying that you don't is not acceptable. We all change the world with every single interaction, and if you are here, I know you've changed someone's world for the better at least a little.
Tell me someone or something that changes your world for the better.
Tell me a dream/fantasy/goal you have that you work toward.
While this contest is going on, I will clean, organize, and then the people who are annoying me will come back to my house. Tell me that I have the strength and grace to be excellent to them.
Please link me to something you'd like. My total contest budget is $16. I don't say that I will not go over. I don't say that it's $16 to one person. I don't say that it's not. If there are 10 entries I absolutely love, and I can buy something that two people really, really want, that's great. If not, well, $16 doesn't go all that far, ya know! edited to add: I have priiiiiiimmmmeeeee
(I've provided several different options, as I can't narrow it down to one lol. All are under $16 and have prime eligibility)
Is this the sort of thing you're looking for?
(Amazon.co.uk link (couldn't find NZ))
A bedrest. I used mine every day since I didn't like sitting at my desk!
I would really really like this pocket Moleskine.
Would you like a falafel with that?
Thank you! And no worries you'll eventually, and even if it's not a big trip you'll bring memories if you print pics! A saying i like is bring memories, not things
Anyways the notebook as you said is a moleskin, here in Europe they are really easy to find, but I think online you can buy them from everywhere, they are my favourite, I use the flexible pocket sized, with plain white paper, I don't know what it is about their simple design that makes them so unique, plain simil leather cover, white pages with a pocket in the last page this is the Italian Amazon page
Happy early birthday!
Most things on my wishlist are under that price, although I would really love a Moleskine notebook the most.
Gift Day
This looks like a pretty affordable option worth trying out! My main concern is that I'll fill them up quickly since it has less pages than other notebooks I've been checking out (the main one I've been eyeing is this). But I do write tiny so maybe I'll manage the fall semester. I'll consider other suggestions in this thread but out of the three so far I think I'll try this one out first :)
I usually just keep my character sheet tucked away in my player's handbook, between whatever pages my class info starts. Other relevant sections are tabbed.
Regarding notes, some in my group just keep a three ring binder, and I have a small Moleskine where I take pertinent notes and doodle when things get slow.
I prefer one-hundred-ninety-two note
>If I had one that wasn't either in use or completely full of writing and sketches
I actually sort of thought of deleting this request and maybe even asking for a new one instead because I thought I might have a better chance at receiving that actually haha.
Ah well, thanks for the input! I'm assuming you're referring to this notebook, by the way?
I’ve never seen the Tekukor that the other commenter linked, that looks great
This one is similar and cheaper and has a pen loop
SEQES
I also love Dingbats, though the pages aren’t as thick and won’t hold up to markers as well
Dingbats
Have a look. Moleskine is cheaper because of some action going on, but standard price is roughly same.

Hello! I was wondering if anyone's had experience with the Paipur Notebook, the Essentials Dot Matrix notebook or SuperiorMaker Notebook?
I am currently using the L1917 and like it a lot, but I've been wanting to use my BIC rollerball pens which bleed through. I'm looking for a dot or grid notebooks with thicker paper and preferably leather/hard cover. Page numbers aren't a huge deal to me. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Depending on your budget you can go for Muji, Moleskins or Ban.do! Amazon also carries a few that are cute
It depends on the journal. My lined is perforated, my bullet journal is not.

If the only issue you have is the perforated pages, Dingbats also sells non-perforated notebooks. They’re the “Earth” line.
If you’d like to try something different, Archer & Olive sells 160 gsm notebooks with a multiplicity of designs.
I am using this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075NKDSBZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ylqPBbPJCWPQ2 the pages buckle a tiny bit, it’s not ideal but it seems to cope alright.
It looks like a Moleskine notebook. Super pretty notebooks btw.

So I'm in the midst of a love torn story. Two continents, no idea if we'll ever get to be together. The first time I left, before we'd said I love you, I secretly ripped out the last page of my notebook to hide in a book of his quoting a poem that we now call ours, from his favorite poet Pablo Neruda. I wrote "I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where". He eventually found it and now uses it as a book mark and takes it everywhere with him. Proof from my book.
What sweeps me off my feet is a good old fashioned sense of adventure. It doesn't have to be a real adventure to far off places, but when he grabs my hand and we go running down to the river chasing ducks, or get lost in the botanical gardens or the market...I just melt. Also cooking. Cooking gets me. That's all I need. Sweep me off my feet!
Item. Seeing as how I finished the last one :)
How about a softcover dotted Leuchtturm1917?

Solution
I just bought a Leuchtturm grid notebook and it's pretty nice. Some inks take a bit longer to dry, but it's definitely a step up from the Moleskine I used to use.
Hmmm, I'm not sure of one that fits all your specifications but Maruman has a smaller Mnemosyne that's similar in size to an A5. Here's a link to it (and other options) on Amazon.com.
I found Moleskine's dot grid to be very light, to the point where I stopped using mine because I couldn't see the dots very well.
I usually only have memory issues during an episode. I guess I don't have the greatest memory otherwise, but its not always problematic.
I got into the habit of carrying around a pencil and a small notebook all the time. If I want to remember something I just jot down two or three words, its usually enough to jog my memory later in the day.

Thank you for your response and advice! I found it on amazon here : https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002BWDKQQ/ref=pd_aw_sbs_229_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=7NSW7S4S5CJQ03XF68YE&dpPl=1&dpID=81%2B02VwtBKL
I am LOVING that it has a table of contents and is numbered. I usually have to create my own table of contents and number the pages manually, this is awesome.
Question: if I bent the notebook in half so I am only looking at the page I am working on, like is usual for spiralbound, will it break or otherwise be affected?
That is my only concern, and I’d be ready to buy it!
Thanks so much for the suggestion!!
Just to be sure, is

the right one? (I'm on mobile and I don't remember how to hyperlink) my apologies.
Is the price okay too or do you have a site that you shop from that you would like to recommend?

Im not sure what is up with the price right now, I paid $19 for mine from amazon.
For my regular pocket carry notebooks I'm in love with These.
For work/design related stuff I've been using one of These.
I Prefer the dots over the full grids because they provide some structure without feeling too rigid.
I enjoyed this one - it checks many of your boxes, though it may not have enough pages for your liking.

How about a Leuchtturm 1917 notebook? I think this is the cheapest option.
How I did this when starting out on my own was to always round everything up. It makes it really easy and you don't have to spend much time or effort on it.
If I spent 35 bucks on some frivolous purchase, I calculated it as costing me 40 or 50 dollars. A 12 dollar meal costs 15, A 1.25 soda is 2 dollars etc.
Just round up to even dollar amounts so that mental math is easier. Then compare that number against your income. By doing it this way, all of those roundings make you feel like you have less money than you really do. When it comes time to pay a bill or an emergency comes up, you suddenly have a few hundred extra in the bank than you expect.
If you are bad at remembering those purchases and doing a running total, you might want to look into a note app on your phone or to even start hauling around something like this to keep a running balance in: Amazon Link. It is smaller than most phones so you can carry around a pen and paper without too much hassle.
I use Moleskine Notebooks, these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/8883707265
If you have a better tip for nicer paper tell me, it's very thin paper, even the ballpoint pen is visible through it.
definitely! here it is!
i almost always prefer to use graph paper for writing and note-taking, and i stumbled across this little journal last amazon prime day. i really recommend it.
