How to Choose a Notebook You'll Actually Finish
I have a confession: I am a notebook hoarder. For years, I would buy beautiful, expensive journals, write enthusiastically on the first three pages, and then abandon them in a drawer because they just didn't 'feel right.'

You have to match the physical properties of the book to the reality of how you work. Let's break down exactly what to look for—from paper weight to binding styles—so you can finally buy a notebook that you will fill all the way to the last page.
