In comes this simple, yet effective notebook. I bought it last year and it was the first thing that I used consistently, day after day, week after week, to take notes and plan my day.
APPEARANCE
I bought the gray elephant notebook with squared pages. The color scheme is easy on my eyes yet noticeable enough in a room. After nearly filling up the elephant notebook, I thought I'd try something different and go with the orange tiger one, however, it's a little too bright for me and I'm here to get another elephant book. It also subconsiously helps me "remember like an elephant". So if you're picky like me, really think about the color and animal you'll be drawn to.
FEEL
The cover of the notebook feels amazing. It's textile enough to give positive feedback to the brain, and it stays put on a table. The pages aren't too thick or too thin - they are substantial enough to feel high quality and take your pen or markers with ease without bleeding through, but light enough to flow back and forth easily when you need them to. It's also nice to set your pen or phone on top of because they won't go anywhere.
SIZE
For me, the size is perfect. It's not so small that it's easily lost but it's small enough to put in a purse or bag. It fit perfectly on top of the center console in my car, which is when I have most of my "Oh yeah I can't forget that" thoughts, and when I am at a long stoplight or I get to my destination I can write them down so they don't fleet off with the next activity.
FUNCTIONALITY
And here's where the magic comes in. With squared pages, your notes can be as free or as structured as you want. One week you can use it as an agenda and the next week you can use it as a grocery list. I have a bit of everything in my notebook, and I've tried it many ways, and it always works for what I need it to that day. I bought some stick-on tabs just in case I wanted to save a really important page. They fit nicely in the included folder on the back of the book. But I only ended up using them twice. The sky's the limit.
WHO THIS IS BEST SUITED FOR
If you've got a million things going on, and structured planners don't help, you may need more freedom to get it all out. Don't let the price scare you, this is absolutely worth a shot.
All in all, this journal is WORTH 20 dollars. Its the perfect size, has important key details, and its environmentally safe!! 10/10 journal, never switching brands.
All in all, this journal is WORTH 20 dollars. Its the perfect size, has important key details, and its environmentally safe!! 10/10 journal, never switching brands.
Bottom line: I am converted to Dingbats brand and will re-order the next time I need a new notebook.
Pros:
1. The paper quality is superb. Better than both Leuchtturm and Moleskine. It’s thicker and smoother. Great for fountain pens. No ghosting or bleed-through. And no feathering with my Lamy Al-Star pen.
2. It is slightly larger than both the Moleskine Large notebook and the Leuchtturm Medium (A5). I like that you have a bit more room on the page, but it is still small enough to fit in my purse— Important because I carry it with me everywhere.
3. I love the square grid.
4. Unlike Leuchtturm, there aren’t margins at the top and bottom. The grid covers the whole page, which gives more flexibility for different spreads and layouts.
5. The cover is a great color and texture and seems to be more durable than than hardcover Moleskine and Leuchtturm notebooks. The elastic that holds the book shut is very sturdy.
6. It comes with a pen loop hardwired into the notebook cover! This is a big deal for me. I was starting to resent Leuchtturm for making me spend $5-8 on a stupid pen loop every time I spent $20 on a new notebook. For $20, a notebook should come with a pen loop and this one does! The pen loop is sturdy but stretchy so I think it would fit pretty much any size pen. It easily accommodates my Lamy Al-Star, which is pretty fat.
6. It has the same back cover pocket as Leuchtturm and Moleskin. And one ribbon bookmark.
7. I like that it is (allegedly) environmentally friendly and that the company is family owned.
8. All of the pages are perforated for easy and neat removal.
Cons:
1. No pages set aside at the front for an index. This isn’t a huge deal for me, but it is a nice feature of the Leuchtturm.
2. Pages are not pre-numbered. Again, not a huge deal, but a nice feature of the Leuchtturm.
3. The square grid lines are a bit darker and more prominent than in the Leuchtturm and Moleskine, but I find they still fade away once you write over them.
4. The increase in paper, size, and cover quality makes it a bit heavier than the Leuchtturm and Moleskine, I think. But it also has fewer pages (though the surface area of the pages is significantly larger) than the Leuchtturm, so it may be a wash.
5. I like that the Leuchtturm comes with stickers and spine engineering that make it easy to label for archiving. This notebook does not have that feature. I’ll probably just end up labeling the spine with a sharpie when I’m finished with it.
