I visited a Muji store in London West End. It's the sort of place you come out of having bought far more than expected. I bought loose leaf paper (I'm a ring binder person). The paper was v smooth. But the paper was made in Vietnam not Japan!!! And the paper feathered my fountain pen and bled through to the other side! On another matter Martin I think you said you don't use fountain pens because they are expensive. But it is possible to buy a Jinhao 100 for example for around £10 and that is an excellent pen. Ink will be £6-8. Which is great value to experience a fountain pen gliding over the paper.
Muji has a store?! I might have to pay that a visit next time I'm in London! Yes, I noticed the book was produced in Indonesia. I guess it's a bit like Fender producing guitars in Mexico and Japan. I've put what you said about fountain pens on the back burner; something to think about... 🤔 Thanks!
Just found this channel today, when looking to learn more about note-taking and brainstorming. Just wanted to say thanks for showing me this great looking notebook. Just started doing morning pages, and I am definitely going to be coming back to this once I fill up my first composition book. Please continue to make more videos about note-taking and planning for TH-cam Content Creators!
Hey, thanks for the lovely comment! 🙏 I have to say I love these Muji notebooks! They're so slim! Really easy to write on and a lovely size. Thanks for the content suggestion, too; I've made a note of it! Look out for this week's video on Sunday: How to achieve your goals!
I decided to use my old exercises books and fill them to the last pages. Some of them twenty, thirty years old, but still usable. I started using some of them before we bought our first computer. The one I'm using these days says VICTORY Exercise Book 320 page. And on the back cover, Commonly used computer terms: Application, Alphanumeric, Algol, Basic, Baud, Binary... with explanations. It also says Made in China. My first entry, February 2000, Notes regarding Linux operating system, Internet pages, nature, Permaculture and creativity. I kid you not. 😃 So, that's my lot. Looks like I'm still at it. 😉 Have a great day and thanks for the nice video. 👍
Love the fact that you've dated it. I have a thing about dates and times. I didn't always date things and sometimes when I look back that's disappointing because I can't tell exactly when it was. Now I date everything! Thanks for the positive comment, too 🙏
For B5 format my favourite this far is a rather expensive Burde notebook with a pocket at the back, bookmark and one of those elastic thingies that keeps it closed.
Fantastic Mark. I love a pencil to write with, and being left-handed, I don't smudge the page with a pencil either. The Muji book seems to be a great size and fit for me, and to have one over the next few weeks will also include our camping holiday to Cornwall. Bonus!
Hi Martin! Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how helpful your youtube videos have been concerning morning pages. I can't believe I've made it two months in, and it's been such a transformative and enlightening experience. Glad I didn't give up! I wanted to throw my hat in the ring for the Muji journal giveaway. If chosen, I'd be thrilled to create a reveal video, tag you, and share my personal experience with the journal. Thank you for considering me!
Wow - lovely comment! Glad you've found it so useful. Certainly transformative and enlightening for me too. Lots more to come! Do consider sharing the videos if you find them useful. Send your address to msketchley67@gmail.com and I'll get something to you.
“The Blackwing feels much nicer…” That’s because the Uni was an entirely different grade. As in lead hardness. Yes, soft lead feels much softer. (Blackwings are just rebranded kitaboshis, the same pencils Muji sell minus the finish.)
I am new to ‘morning pages’ and thankful that I found your channel 😊 I came across the concept yesterday I would love to be considered for the giveaway and please continue with your amazing content. Thankyou
Thank you. Let me know what kind of content you'd like to see: reviews? Writing tips and exercises? Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 🙏
I'd love the muji notebook and a lovely blackwing pencil. All I can say is I will use both to reveal my life's meaning 😜. Well, that may be overstated-- at least to bring to light some of my deepest thoughts and urgent messages. On pondering -- I can only reasonably concede that it will be used. - Lue in Michigan.
I should be the lucky recipient of the Muji notebooks because then my husband would have to take the dog out first in the morning. I’d have the beautiful and perfect response to his question ‘who’s turn is it to do the dog?’ I would say, ‘sorry darling I’m doing my morning pages’. Yes I know it’s not fair but I usually have all my best ideas first thing when I’m walking the dog and I can’t walk and write. At least not yet.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a lovely comment! 🙏 I've afraid the competition has closed, but I do recommend these notebooks. I love their low profile! Do subscribe if you haven't already: lots more to come!
So oils lone a couple of these books I think I should win because if you know me in person you should think I’m a great person to get along with. I’m wringing nooks about my life and these books would be so perfect for me to break donn my sections I really need to get some of these. Thank you for being so kind to share this with us I feel lucky today
I should really get the notebook and a pencil because my current notebook that I use for my morning pages is about to reach the last page in about ten days. And the one I’m using is so thick and small. So at the beginning I used the previous notebook (which is muji) to put underneath my hand to level it. (Excuse my English). And I love pencil. But may be I should’t get the pencil because I already have some. You should give it to someone who’s in need. 😊
If you appreciate this video, you can support my work with Superthanks, above! ⬆🙏 What are your favourite notebooks? What would you like to see reviewed? Let me know! ⬇👍 PLEASE NOTE: the giveaway has now closed and the lucky winners contacted; look out for more giveaways in future.
I think 🤔 that I should receive the giveaway because I need something to write in to start my morning pages😂 and haven’t written in pencil since I was 8 🙈 📝 this would help Me get started 😊
Hi! It's a 6mm gap between the lines and there are 38 lines on a page, excluding the very top and bottom ones. Thanks for watching! Do subscribe if you haven't already: more to come!

@@missworm absolutely perfect! I'm currently using a Pilot Capless with a M nib on it and the paper takes in the ink super well, no ghosting. Plus, it also absorbs quickly, so I can turn the page and keep writing without having to blot or wait 😀

Thanks. I like the Mitsubishi pencils. The white Blackwing is just too soft for me, other Blackwings too expensive to try!

Random question, but can you please measure the height/spacing (mm) between the lines and lmk how much it is 😃

@@sketchley Oh yay! Thanks, Martin! Messaging you.
I’m a fountain pen user, too. How did the paper cope?
