In my previous post, I talked about how my laptop is basically my lifesaver. The fact it comes with a stylus makes it so much better. With it, I can highlight and take notes on PDFs but I can also take handwritten notes and even draw. Which for me, is what truly makes the difference, as I feel more comfortable taking handwritten notes.
Why digital notes? You don’t have to worry about forgetting a notebook, running out of pages or ink. You can go back and delete whatever mistake you have made without making a mess and it is very flexible. You can organize your notes whichever way you find convenient. Some apps even let you search your handwriting, which is something I didn’t know I needed. How many times have you tried looking for something in your notes and taken basically an eternity to find it? With digital notes, that is no longer a problem. Taking notes by hand helps you remember better than just typing. So taking the benefits of handwriting and the organizational benefits of going digital, you’ll have one of the most effective weapons at your disposal.

About a year ago I bought a little, black moleskin notebook. I picked a book without lines in hopes of escaping some of the linearity of my life. I have since freed myself of the most of the confining structures that bothered me then, but that’s a relatively boring history that I will skip.
Anyways, I have this little, black moleskin notebook. It’s not a diary or a journal. If lost and found somewhere, a stranger would not unveil any of my secrets or my fears. The notebook is only a reflection of the human experience. There are quotes, from the books I read or the people I meet. There are drawings of molecular structures and plants, depending on what courses I have been paying the most attention to lately. Although, on one page I drew a nearly perfect elephant. The majority of the pages have lists, or single lines of thought. These are fleeting moments that strike me as slightly more interesting than the usual babbling of my mind.
So what is the point of the little, black moleskin notebook? I could probably capture more, and in an elegant way, if I wrote about my days on lengthy pages of beautiful stationary. I could turn my sketches into great paintings or I could spend more time taking photos. But there is a romance in taking this tiny notebook, paired with a black felt tip pen, everywhere I go. I can read over the pages, and I feel the passion of all my moments come together.
Everyone should have a little, black moleskin notebook.
