Notebook is launched, still chopping off some rough edges, but overall really happy to have something to use for an on the go common place book.

When the Notebook Doesn’t Help

Let’s be honest: this isn’t a magic solution that fixes everything.

Decisions that are actually emotional, not analytical. If you’re stuck because you’re scared or avoiding something, writing about it might help you realize that—but it won’t make the fear go away. Different problem, different solution.

Things you genuinely don’t care about. If you keep writing “should do X” but never do it, maybe you don’t actually want to do X. The notebook will make this obvious, but it won’t make you care.

Situations where you already know what to do. Sometimes you’re not stuck on figuring it out—you’re stuck on doing it. Writing won’t help there. Just do the thing.

Problems that require other people to change. You can think through how to communicate better or what to do about a situation, but the notebook can’t make other people different.

The notebook helps you think more clearly. It doesn’t make hard things easy—it makes confusing things clearer.

There’s a difference.

Knowing when a tool doesn’t apply is part of using it well.

Anyone know if Maruman make traditional A5 notebooks using the same paper found in their Mnemosyne pads?

I've been using their A5 spiral-bound pad for some projects & I'm loving how my #FountainPens feel on it, but the landscape layout & removable pages isn't really what I want from a notebook dedicated to meeting/talk notes. I still love the Life notebooks I currently use, but I'd really like to try the Maruman paper longer-term & that would be the best way for me.
