    I prefer the aesthetic of the pocket notebooks from Dollar General because I think it’s really cool that they look like tiny versions of the full-size marbled composition books, but the Walmart ones are better quality since they’re sewn together, whereas the DG ones are glued and fall apart really easily.

    • @GareTheBear
      @GareTheBear  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Ohhhh right on!! Plus if I'm not mistaken, the DG ones only come in packs of 2 whereas Walmart comes in packs of 3. So it's a similar price but you get one more notebook!
      (Also, I was considering taking some of the black ones from Walmart that I have and Customizing them to look like a classic spackled comp book👀)

    Awesome video! I too carry a pocket notebook. I started in Dec 23 and it has been a real game changer in helping me navigate all my ideas. I would use my phone, but the problem is, I never go back and look at notes in my phone. I fidget a lot so having a notebook to pull out and thumb through is perfect as i'm rereading ideas ive had constantly. I use it as a journal and planner too and lasts about 2 months. I'm fancy and i carry a 3.5" x 5.5" pocket sketch book, I like the slightly thicker pages.

      That's AWESOME! I love how you really found what works for you! I have a lot of the same struggles with the phone and not going back and looking. I love flipping through an old notebook and finding an idea and bringing it to life! Thanks for watching my friend! See you soon🫡

  • @comicleighfunny
    @comicleighfunny 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    Mate you want to add an indexing system to the front of the book so you can jump to the pages with specific ideas. For example you could have a video category, shopping category and an ideas category. I’ve done it and it makes everything so much easier and efficient

    • @GareTheBear
      @GareTheBear  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I totally agree with that!!! That's funny you mentioned it cause I had every intention to implement that system in my next book once I fill my current one up!🤣 Great tip, though!!! I appreciate it!🫡

    You are a very intelligent man! So glad to see younger people utilizing “analog” or “old” methods and realizing how they can be a benefit to our memory function. Love my modern technology and electronics, but my brain needs that analog stimulation as well.

    • @GareTheBear

    Honestly, I bout a few of those field notebooks after a Peter McKinnon video he did recently ish….but this definitely reinforces why it’s super important, and I’m getting more in the habit of always carrying it around

    • @GareTheBear
      @GareTheBear  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I've considered the field notes book, and I watched that same Peter McKinnon video! I love the idea of a pocket notebook and everything it has to offer. I hope it provides the same perks to you as it has to me! Thanks for watching, Todd!!🔥

  • @deersakamoto2167

    My take is there's 2 types of notes:
    1. Things that change only slightly over time (think Wikipedia)
    2. Free flowing ideas (Think Twitter)
    I think for the Wiki type of notes (e.g. daily routine checklists), digital is better as it's much easier to add/modify/edit.
    For the Twitter kind of notes, paper may be more suitable as you can also draw diagrams etc. My 2c.

    • @GareTheBear
      @GareTheBear  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I like this perspective on note-taking! Being able to edit is a blessing and curse depending on how you do your notes. I definitely dig this elaborate breakdown, tho. Thanks for sharing!

    As someone with adhd I really badly need a note book cos other thoughts take over what I'm thinking and completely forgot my ideas, also u should A B test a thumbnail with the current one and a thumbnail where you look sad on half the thumbnailand low saturation and it says something like before notebook then on the other side a one that's more saturated and more happy where it says with note book

    • @GareTheBear
      @GareTheBear  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1
