5 Tips for Choosing a Notebook That Makes Writing Fun

"Writing is actually kind of fun."

If you can think that way, your daily feelings will feel a little lighter.

And that enjoyment changes depending on the notebook.

In this article, I will introduce 5 tips for choosing a notebook that makes writing fun.

When you start to like your notebook, you will start to like writing.

I hope your notebook will brighten up your days a little.

1. Choose a size you can carry around

A notebook that slips easily into your bag is just right.

I recommend a size that you can take out and write in immediately, wherever you are.

However, if it is too small, there are constraints on the writing space, which I feel makes it unsuitable for expanding your thoughts.

You want a size where you can freely write down things you notice or think about.

My recommendation is A5 or B5 size.

It doesn't feel too wide or too narrow; it feels just right.

Please try to find a size that fits your daily life.

2. Start with a thin notebook

"I can't seem to finish using a notebook."
Doesn't that happen to you?

At first, a thin notebook is more relaxing.

Finishing one notebook quickly gives you a little confidence.

Thick notebooks take time to finish.

If you're not careful, your motivation to write might drop.

I recommend starting with a thin one of about 60 pages.

3. The price should be one you can "write in without worry"

The contents of your notebook are your heart.

That is why being able to "write anything freely" is the most important thing.

Notebooks range from under 100 yen to several thousand yen each.

Personally, if a notebook is expensive, it's hard to write trivial things in it.

If it's too cheap, the paper might be thin and hard to write on.

I recommend something around 100 to 1,000 yen.

It's easy to use, and the paper is sturdy.

"If it's this much, it's okay if I make a mistake."

Please try to choose a price range for a notebook that makes you feel that way.

4. Easy to obtain

It is reassuring if you can buy a notebook immediately after you finish using one.

If you can't find it at a local store or can't order it immediately on Amazon, your writing habit might stop there.

If it's something available at a nearby supermarket or stationery store, it's easier to continue.

Being able to get it when you think of it provides great peace of mind.

First, try choosing a standard notebook that you can buy anywhere.

5. Choose one that lifts your mood with its appearance

Cute notebooks, cool notebooks.

Just by looking at them, you might feel a little energized.

"I want to write because it's this notebook."

If you find a notebook like that, it will help you with your writing habit.

Choosing by design is also one of the important reasons.

If your eyes and heart think it's "good," then that is the right answer.
