It’s great to be able to do little drawings or right down ideas that come to you while your outside. Writing notes on your phone feels a little stale sometimes. Plus it makes for a very nice object to carry with you.

sometimes i don’t wanna carry a book if i don’t wanna be carrying too much, but i still want to have something with me that can stimulate my brain that isn’t my phone. and you don’t even have to always be writing in it – you can draw, read what it is you’ve written so far, or even use it as a little scrapbook to collect the day’s memories! and for some extra fun, you should decorate your notebook with whatever feels good to you, like stickers, markers, pastels, a little collage… anything!

It's basically just an analog notes app, but it's something separate from your phone that allows for a little more disconnection from technology. Plus, it's tangible. So you can have a visual representation of the amount of thoughts or ideas that you've had over time. You'll have a collection of mini books that you can go back through and see where your mind has been. I'm about to finish my third little guy, and it's fun to have a collection of pages that represents my ingenuity and reminds me of memories I've forgotten. Sometimes I make myself laugh when I go back through or I contemplate something I said or I disagree with a comment I made a while back, or I feel inspired to rehash something I'd written.
Today I went back through and found a drawing I don't remember doing. I found a short grocery list from who knows when. I found a bunch of ideas I want to go back to. I found these comments too: "A vape is sitting on the subway seat next to me. Should I hit it and see what happens?" and "I'm on the six early in the morning and just watched a homeless man light another homeless man's crack pipe. Sharing is caring."

I carry a mini notebook with me and a lil pack of crayons/pens. I don’t have any socials on my phone (besides this) and if I need a lil brain break or alone time or something to waste time I pull out my lil book and crayons and pens.
I love it. Helps me be present. Remember my goodish thoughts. Track memories. It’s nice, I recommend. also cool to look back on

Infinite workspace! And theres a certain sense of relaxation that comes with sitting on the ground. A soft rug underneath also will seriously enhance this.

It’s very satisfying cleaning up totally fried at some un-godly hour In the morning after coming back from a night out. Then to wake up with a hangover but your place is totally spick-and-span Is a great thing. A bit of organisation in the chaos.

Just cracking the fridge open, twisting that jar lid off and grabbing a pickle straight out of the brine be making me love this existence.
