What a great video. Personally, nothing beats sitting with my notebook, recounting my day and enjoying a nice beverage. I often find myself feeling like a bit of a relic because I can't live without the feeling of ink and paper. You can't replace it. In a world of screens and audiobooks my preference runs with pens and books. It is refreshing to know that there are still like-minded individuals who find the magic in such simple tools. I look forward to seeing your videos going forward.
Just found this channel... great! keep going. I've been battling over the digital / analogue... being old school, I keep returning to the pocket notebooks, a thin (Pilot cavalier) fountain pen, and some tiny Muji felt pens for a bit of colour. I'm trying to become more sketchnote than linear notes. My current workflow is fleeting random notes in a small (cheap) notebook sitting inside my pocket Luchtturm 1917... more important permanent notes, into the Luchtt. I then photograph the pages (every few weeks) and add them to my Goodnotes app (ipad) with plenty of room around the photo. I review my notes digitally, making digital margin notes, highlights, bookmarks etc. This keeps a digital backup of my handwritten ideas and allows a dynamic review process that may lead to my Notion and Obsidian apps for better management.
@@G-OVL fantastic! Love your process there - interesting to hear how you're incorporating digital alongside analogue strategies for maintaining your notes. I am trying to get away from digital as much as possible but can appreciate the benefits of reviewing while on the go. Do you have an analogue zettelkasten or is it digital eg obsidian?
Thanks for the video. I find Rhodia Goalbook the best for general note taking , mainly using W&H for calendars and more serious/keeper notes. The Goalbook is just amazing for its cover and excellent creme Clairfntaine paper which I use for brain storming, fast scetching ideas etc. Also good but cheaper its DotBook variant. I used to like Moleskine but its impossible to use with fountain pen. Also consider Galen Leather and their leather TomoeRiver notebooks.
@@mike_qbik great tips, will check these out. Completely agree re moleskine and it's inability to cope with fountain pens. This led me to using the Lumos mini pen that gets close(r) to a fountain pen experience (and the moleskine just about copes) but it's not quite the same. Again, appreciate the suggestions!
i have two tables side by side...one for computer work video editing etc...and the other is purely for writing work...or cutting paper etc...its a great setup and allows me to keep focused on my work.... i will make a video on this on my channel soon....Ink pen and paper is the best way to work...
Exactly the same as my set-up - two tables side-by-side: one (I hate) that has my mac mini plus two monitors for my (necessary evil) 'digital work' and the other (that you can see) is my analogue desk where I get my *real work* done - proper time to think, reflect and create with just pen and paper
I have found Oxford Optik good for affordable fountain pen paper and I like Leuchtturm 1917 for the Moleskine vibe but better paper for fountain pens (plus useful index pages, archiving stickers, etc).
The Oxford optik is a new for me, so thanks for that recommendation - I'll check it out. The Leuchtturm 1917 is also one that I've been meaning to add to my collection as I know a lot of people who prefer it to the moleskine. Many thanks for your comment :)

@@Drew_OTPmany thanks for your comment and it's equally pleasing to find like-minded analogue pen and paper lovers. The future is analogue!
