Today, electronic devices have become an integral part of daily life, which makes it possible to take notes through a variety of devices. Though people have plenty of choices of note-taking, I think a paper notebook is still the champion of jotting down fresh ideas and thoughts.

There’s always something in the old fashioned pen and paper that can never be replaced by a glowing screen, such as the feeling of writing and the satisfactory of finishing writing a notebook.

Here are some notebooks I highly recommend.

What I like most is its orange cover, which is just like the mellow autumn sunlight and makes me feel energetic and passionate. I’m quite sure such glorious orange notebook will  motivate me a lot to record and organize my life. Just as its creator, Ryder Carroll, once said, it is supposed to “help you track the past, organize the present, and plan for the future.”

What’s more, the archive-quality pages made from acid-free paper are sure to resists damage from light and air, ensuring long-lasting performance from one year to the next.
