Yeah you can. But a notebook is just always there and doesn’t need a chord to charge.
All kidding aside: if you have ADD tendencies, your phone often distracts you before you can write down that thought or that idea. This is why I always have a notebook with me.
I fully get you. It’s just that it’s a couple more things to carry and worry about getting wet.
I’m learning to draw so I try to carry a sketchbook (A5), a pencil and an eraser, but it bulks up my EDC to the point where I need a bag.
Then there’s the other problem, where when I write something down I remember it, which after awhile convinces me that I don’t need to write stuff down.
I could never carry an A5 around. I have both an a5 watercolour and sketchbook on my desk, but for on the go I use an A6 sketchbook if I want to sit longer for sketching as it’s a hardcover, but usually my notebook is my go-to.
And I’ve had a similar convo with myself about writing things down, but if I don’t, I get overwhelmed and forget. And yes, I do remember the important stuff I write down, but I think it’s a good thing, because it stays in the forefront of my mind until I check it off 😀
A notebook (with a good pen)
User name checks out.
But why? I can type on my phone.
