My Favorite Notebooks: Capturing Cool Thoughts & Ideas

I love good notebooks. And I’m picky.

I admit it, I’m a notebook snob. It’s not that I have to have a high dollar notebook. None of these are terribly expensive, but they’re high quality. A regular ‘ol spiral notebook that kids use in school just won’t do for me. I need something better.

Let me show you some of my favorites.

1. AMPAD Reporter’s Notebook

2. Moleskine Classic Ruled Notebook (3.5″ x 5.5″)

3. Field Notes

4. Whitelines Wire Black A4 Lined Notebook

5. Moleskine XLarge Ruled Cahier Journal

6. Canson Universal Sketch Paper Pad 9×12″

What do you use to record your cool thoughts and ideas?

P.S. I also love to use Evernote and voice memos on my iPhone, but there’s something more magical about a notebook.

Building A Successful Business Starts In Your Head

Successful Business Building Begins In Your Head.
Unfortunately, so does UNsuccessful business building.

 Signal to noise ratio. I learned about how that applied to hi-fi gear before I learned to drive. Today, you likely have heard that phrase used to describe how much noise is in the world – and in our heads – compared to the signal, or good stuff. Simply put, it’s the difference between the sounds you want to hear compared to the sounds you don’t want to hear. It’s hard to hear the music when there’s too much static or noise.

Head trash. Noise. Distractions. Self-defeating thoughts. It’s all synonymous with some degree of discouragement. And we all have to fight against it.

I don’t think anybody ever completely conquers it. The most confident people have been humbled.

The most resilient have learned to get up and press on!

I hope that’s you.
