Jot Down Ideas
It always seems as though the best ideas pop into your head when you least expect them to.
Having a pocket notebook is perfect for capturing fleeting ideas when they do come up. In addition to writing down ideas, you can also use your pocket notebook to jot down inspirational quotes, random thoughts, a passage from a book, or even notes from a meeting.

Lists
A great way to use your pocket notebook is to create lists. These can be lists for groceries, packing, bucket lists, places to visit, food to try, daily tasks, movies to watch, books to read, and more.
The best part about keeping lists in a notebook is the feeling you get when crossing an item or task off of your list. Plus, keeping a pocket notebook will allow you to flip back through your lists or goals so that you can see how much you have accomplished!

If you fail to write down these ideas when they come to you, you risk losing them entirely! It is not often that we can recall these random thoughts exactly the way they came to us.
Having a pocket notebook ready at all times is an absolute necessity for writers.

You Need Things
Cardboard, cloth, or decorative paper for the binding.
Glue. I use Tacky Glue, but any glue marked "Archival" will do the trick. (PLA glues.)
Brush. Acid brushes are fine.
Scissors.

Binder clips
Plastic spacer blocks (You can use anything that won't stick to the glue. A ruler wrapped in wax paper works well.
Heavy flat weights for clamping if you cover a large area.
Optional: Punchy doos like for crafting and scrapbooking. (See pictures and second video.)
Optional: Decorative paper instead of cardboard, OR Cloth.
NOT OPTIONAL: Damaged notebook.

Split the Cardboard for Your Binding Material
Peel the heavy paper carefully away from the corrugations. It's pretty easy if you bend the corrugated side sharply from the paper. I do it in the video.

Prepare the Binding
Prepare the binding by creasing it down the center and then cutting it so it is consistent with no sharp corners (More durable.)
Then spread glue on both the binding material AND the notebook. I doubt that's necessary, but I do it anyway.

Apply the Binding Material
Align the covers, Then orient the binding material centered over the spine and gently press it over the sides and into place.
When the binding material is centered as you prefer, firmly press it into the glue. A roller is quite handy here but mine weighs a little over 100 Lbs so I don't use that.

Apply spacer blocks, and clip into place.
You can also sandwich the repaired notebook between heavy flat weights with waxed paper covering them. I usually use steel blocks.
You're done. The next step is more pictures.

Finished Repairs
These notebooks are wonderful. I prefer Field Notes more than Moleskine though because the covers seem more durable. That said, I have still had them fail. Aside from the Expedition edition, this repair seems to work just as well on the Fieldnotes books as on Moleskine or any other brand. IF however, you are in doubt, A quick scuff over with 220 grit sandpaper should allow your repair to stick to just about Any cover material! Happy repairs!

With the wide range of pocket notebooks available for everyday carry, there are many things to consider when adding one to your ensemble. We' ll review some essential considerations, like size, paper quality, binding, rules, materials, and price. There' s likely not a perfect notebook that will hit everything you need, but being armed with the knowledge of what' s out will get you a head start on your search for the best pocket notebook for you.

Size and portability
To be a good pocket notebook for everyday carry, it has to fit in your pockets. It would be easy to leave it there, but you should also consider the space the rest of your everyday carry takes if you' re dedicated to pocket-only carry. You can opt for more ‘‘pocketable' ' notebooks instead that are slightly larger (beyond A5 size) than what you can manage, but then you' ll need to consider how you' ll carry that notebook around. A notebook that has to be in a giant bag might be less portable in your eyes, and you' ll end up either not using it or leaving it at home when you forget it in the wrong bag.

Paper quality
If you' re just entering the stationery enthusiast space, it might be challenging to appreciate what good quality paper can do for you entirely. However, each notebook we discuss in this guide has much better paper than the college rule and composition notebooks you might be used to from your time at school. This higher quality paper will also feel much more likable and be an intangible plus to carrying a quality everyday pocket notebook.
When you are more particular about high-quality pens, you will fully benefit from good paper, especially if you carry a fountain pen regularly. The water-based inks of fountain pens have a hard time on poor quality paper that' s either too porous so the ink bleeds through and smears or too scratchy, giving strange feedback as you write that makes it unpleasant to use. Another consideration is the ‘‘weight' ' of the paper and how it relates to quality. This weight is often expressed in grams per square meter (gsm); strictly speaking, a higher number means more heavy-duty paper. While this might mean a sturdier paper, quality is a bit more than just the thickness or durability. You have to consider the color, ink-bearing capability, and whether it has acid or not for long-term archival, among many other factors that will be highly personal at the end of the day.

Binding type
A notebook is a paper collection bound to be more beneficial than carrying around a stack of index cards or loose-leaf sheets. How it' s bound can dictate how you use the notebook and its durability. The common ways a pocket notebook can be bound include the standard spiral bound style, which uses metal wire through holes to hold the paper into place. These benefit from being easy to lie flat and remove individual sheets compared to the other binding styles, even if the pages are not perforated, to ease the process.
More traditional book-style bindings follow, with glue binding and stitched binding being common. These have a similar opening and closing experience as a small pamphlet or paperback book and offer more rigidity. The downside of this style is that you compromise the integrity of the overall binding of the pocket notebook once you start ripping pages out. Stapled notebooks function like notepads, but the ones made for everyday carry tend to have higher quality paper and more durable stapling to stand up to daily pocket carry. Completely modular notebooks like the Traveler' s Notebook or ring binder styles are made accessible to swap new paper in and out as you need, but they can be more flimsy than perfect bound or switched book-style spiral notebooks in the process.

Ruling type
How the pocket notebook pages are designed profoundly influences your use. If you write in dense paragraphs, traditional line-ruled paper will work best to keep everything organized and help you maximize the space on the page. Technical drawing and math users might prefer grid-style paper because it helps structure work better, especially if you make tables and graphs regularly. An in-between style is dot-graph paper, which gives you the ability to draw the structured squares when you need it but otherwise keep the page less cluttered. An utterly blank notebook gives you complete freedom, and it' s the best for free-form notes and drawings. This style might work best for you if you also like to write bigger than most college and even wide-ruled papers.
Another consideration is whether a notebook has calendars for days, weeks, and months. If a notebook is primarily made up of those pre-defined spaces, it might limit the freeform note-taking potential of it. You should choose the pocket notebook with the features and design that you.

Cover material
The cover material of a notebook affects its overall durability and your satisfaction with bringing it along for the ride. The most basic pocket notebooks have paper covers, which keep the weight down but are subje
