Traveler's Notebook (Camel)

I'm a chronic note-taker, so to replace my note-taking app of choice, I needed something that could handle every bit of information I threw its way. While there are many pocket-size notebooks to choose from, the passport-size Traveler's Notebook caught my eye due to its modular nature. I've stuffed it with three notebooks — one for ideas, one for book quotes, and another for doodling — plus a pouch to hold my pens and stray items.

Because it's modular, I can swap the doodles notebook for one to flesh out things from my ideas notebook, or a travel journal if I'm on the road. It's all wrapped in a soft leather that makes me feel especially fancy every time I'm workshopping bits from my favorite bar.

I decided to pick up a pocket-size notebook that I could carry everywhere, ready to pull out at a moment's notice before a good idea slipped my mind. Once I found one that I loved, I couldn't put it down, and soon I ditched my Notes app altogether in favor of writing things by hand.
