I prefer the aesthetic of the pocket notebooks from Dollar General because I think it’s really cool that they look like tiny versions of the full-size marbled composition books, but the Walmart ones are better quality since they’re sewn together, whereas the DG ones are glued and fall apart really easily.
Ohhhh right on!! Plus if I'm not mistaken, the DG ones only come in packs of 2 whereas Walmart comes in packs of 3. So it's a similar price but you get one more notebook! (Also, I was considering taking some of the black ones from Walmart that I have and Customizing them to look like a classic spackled comp book👀)
Awesome video! I too carry a pocket notebook. I started in Dec 23 and it has been a real game changer in helping me navigate all my ideas. I would use my phone, but the problem is, I never go back and look at notes in my phone. I fidget a lot so having a notebook to pull out and thumb through is perfect as i'm rereading ideas ive had constantly. I use it as a journal and planner too and lasts about 2 months. I'm fancy and i carry a 3.5" x 5.5" pocket sketch book, I like the slightly thicker pages.
That's AWESOME! I love how you really found what works for you! I have a lot of the same struggles with the phone and not going back and looking. I love flipping through an old notebook and finding an idea and bringing it to life! Thanks for watching my friend! See you soon🫡
You are a very intelligent man! So glad to see younger people utilizing “analog” or “old” methods and realizing how they can be a benefit to our memory function. Love my modern technology and electronics, but my brain needs that analog stimulation as well.
Well, thank you so much!!! I have been greatly benefited by using a pocket notebook and I am happy to continue doing so. Nothing like a healthy mix of both analog and digital!
Mate you want to add an indexing system to the front of the book so you can jump to the pages with specific ideas. For example you could have a video category, shopping category and an ideas category. I’ve done it and it makes everything so much easier and efficient
I totally agree with that!!! That's funny you mentioned it cause I had every intention to implement that system in my next book once I fill my current one up!🤣 Great tip, though!!! I appreciate it!🫡
Im on the same page man, if i don’t jot down my ideas right away there gone forever! You truly level up which each video man, absolutely love this!! The B-roll works so well.
Honestly, I bout a few of those field notebooks after a Peter McKinnon video he did recently ish….but this definitely reinforces why it’s super important, and I’m getting more in the habit of always carrying it around
I've considered the field notes book, and I watched that same Peter McKinnon video! I love the idea of a pocket notebook and everything it has to offer. I hope it provides the same perks to you as it has to me! Thanks for watching, Todd!!🔥
My take is there's 2 types of notes: 1. Things that change only slightly over time (think Wikipedia) 2. Free flowing ideas (Think Twitter) I think for the Wiki type of notes (e.g. daily routine checklists), digital is better as it's much easier to add/modify/edit. For the Twitter kind of notes, paper may be more suitable as you can also draw diagrams etc. My 2c.
I like this perspective on note-taking! Being able to edit is a blessing and curse depending on how you do your notes. I definitely dig this elaborate breakdown, tho. Thanks for sharing!
This video is how I found you but I have caught up and watched many more of your videos since then. You're an excellent storyteller and have a way for visual presentation.
I just found your videos. I have started using a notebook and needed like minded people and ideas. Your production quality is excellent, keeping the ideas fresh and interesting. I see a big future in RUclips for you. I’m a subscriber and wish you only the best!!
I'm so glad you found the channel! I hope you find the rest of the channel helpful/entertaining! Thank you so much for the kind words, and thank you for being here!😁
I have used a pocket notebook for yours but for work. I need to do the same with RUclips. No doubt it would help my organization and keep me structured.
Thank you so much for that! There's all sorts of diamonds in the rough. Also, dating the entries is definitely a good idea I need to start implementing! Idk why I haven't done it already🤣
As I age, I see myself gravitating towards analog.I have been journaling for the last year in a notebook and find it much more enjoyable than writing in DayOne which I have been doing for the past couple of years.
Your pocket notebook journey is inspiring! Thanks for sharing how it's become a game-changer in your creative process. Definitely considering adding one to my routine now! 📓🚀 +1👍🏻🥰
I'm so glad you got inspired from watching this! That makes my day! It's definitely worth at least giving the notebook a try!🔥 Thank you so much for watching!🫡
@@GareTheBear The fact that the headings are visually separated from the rest. And no one prevents you from making nested headers, i.e. the '#' header of the first level, and the '##' header of the second level, and so on.
@@GareTheBear in addition, if you want to transfer your notes to a digital format, for example, the same Markdown, then you will simplify your task in advance.
As someone with adhd I really badly need a note book cos other thoughts take over what I'm thinking and completely forgot my ideas, also u should A B test a thumbnail with the current one and a thumbnail where you look sad on half the thumbnailand low saturation and it says something like before notebook then on the other side a one that's more saturated and more happy where it says with note book
Oooo I like that thumbnail idea!! I'll have to try that out and see how it looks!! And I TOTALLY relate to your experience. It's so hard to keep an idea fresh in my head so I have to offload it to the book so I can forget, but not lose the idea!
When I first started out using one, I always just kept both the book AND pen in my pocket! Then, eventually, i got the ZipMate, which helped with keeping them both together at all times!
There's pouches and EDC covers/sleeves for pocket notebooks out there (especially for 3.5 x 5.5" pocket notebooks, like Field Notes or Moleskine Cashier notebooks). Been looking up DIYs for notebook covers and pouches to see if they can be modified to fit on a keychain or lanyard myself.
That would be sick! I'd recommend the ZipMate from DailyCarryCo. I use it, and I absolutely love it!!! There's an affiliate link in my descriptions if you wanna take a look at it

replying again to let you know, I have just set up my new notebook for Sunday's video WITH a table of contents! Thanks for the suggestion, my friend!
@@GareTheBear I’ll be interested to hear how you find it. It’s been a game changer for me.
I'm looking forward to it! Thanks again!
A pocket notebook might be something I need to consider…! Awesome video dude. Love the structure and shots you got to tell the story!
I think it's 100% worth considering!
Thanks brother. I had a ton of fun setting up all these shots!
Im on the same page man, if i don’t jot down my ideas right away there gone forever! You truly level up which each video man, absolutely love this!!

What pen do you use with your pouch? Also it looks to write very nicely. Link please 7:16
It's the Metal Barrel Sharpie S-Gel! You can just Google it because they sell em everywhere! Super easy to find!
Great editing
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it!
Great video editing! I wasn’t expecting the video quality with your subscriber base! You may find it helpful to date your entries in your notebook.
Thank you so much for that! There's all sorts of diamonds in the rough.
Also, dating the entries is definitely a good idea I need to start implementing! Idk why I haven't done it already🤣
it worked!
Haha nice!!!🔥😎
Ohhh my!! What an intro!!
Thank you brother!!! I put a lot of time into that one🔥
As I age, I see myself gravitating towards analog.I have been journaling for the last year in a notebook and find it much more enjoyable than writing in DayOne which I have been doing for the past couple of years.
There's something so beautiful and satisfying about analog. I love it too! It's so great. Thanks for watching!
I need to keep mine on me and use my phone less. Good video :)
It's been a great help for me so far in my first year or so! Thanks for watching!!😁

For headings, you can use the Markdown format in the form of a different number of ‘#’
Sounds interesting! What would make that different than bullets or dashes?🤔
@@GareTheBear The fact that the headings are visually separated from the rest. And no one prevents you from making nested headers, i.e. the '#' header of the first level, and the '##' header of the second level, and so on.
Ahhh, right on!! I'll have to look into it and give it a try! Thanks!
@@GareTheBear in addition, if you want to transfer your notes to a digital format, for example, the same Markdown, then you will simplify your task in advance.
Sounds super handy!
my suggestion make index page just like bullet journal so you know what page your looking for is like table of contents
I actually did that in another video! Here's the link if you wanna check it out! Thanks for watching!😁

Thank you! I'm glad you found the channel as well. I hope you enjoy!
i have always wanted to do this, i just don’t know what i would write in it
That's the beauty of it, you could write LITERALLY anything! It's totally worth it, in my opinion!!
I may need a notebook now but the problem is having a pen handy!
When I first started out using one, I always just kept both the book AND pen in my pocket! Then, eventually, i got the ZipMate, which helped with keeping them both together at all times!
U can glue/staple a diy pen loop to the back of the notebook. Mine didn't have one in-built so i just used a small ribbon as a pen holder.
Smart!!!
That’s cool…walking changed my life. and drinking water.
Dude, I feel that! Water is a super drink!🔥 thanks for watching!
Great video! 🤗
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I get so distracted with my phone. I probably should have a notebook in my purse😂
I just so happen to know where you can find some!!!😉
How do I have a pocket notebook without pockets? 😮
Just plain notebook🤠

A question to ponder and answer in your notebook. 😂. Quite a conundrum.
🤣🤣🤣
agree.
💯💯💯
More notebooks ➡ Less phone 👍
Nailed it!🫡
Have you discovered the bullet journal yet?
I don't think so! Is that the one where all the pages are in a grid made up of dots??
Thanks for watching!
"This is my notebook..." You have seen Full Metal Jacket, right?
Sure have!!! That's where I stole it from🤫
@@GareTheBear thought you've seen it all.
@@GareTheBear maybe you should name every notebook...
🤔🤔🤔 Not a bad idea!!
好的 帅哥 已经看了 Pocket Notebook 随身本就是和手机对抗的一个功能么
At this point, it's not so much about competing with the phone, but coexisting with it!
