A notebook seems simple — until you're staring at dozens of options. The right one depends on how you'll use it. Here's a practical guide to choosing the perfect notebook.
1. Page Ruling
- Lined — best for everyday writing and notes.
- Dotted — flexible; great for bullet journaling and sketching.
- Grid/squared — ideal for diagrams, maths, and planning.
- Blank — perfect for drawing and free expression.
2. Paper Quality (GSM)
Paper weight (GSM) matters more than people realise. Thicker paper (around 80–100 gsm) resists bleed-through and ghosting — essential if you use gel or fountain pens. Thin paper is fine for pencil and quick notes.
3. Cover Type
- Hardcover — durable and protective; great for daily carry.
- Softcover — lightweight and flexible.
- Spiral — lays completely flat and folds back.
4. Binding
- Sewn binding — durable and lays flat.
- Spiral — practical and flexible.
- Avoid bindings that crack or shed pages.
5. Size
- A5 — the popular all-rounder.
- A6/pocket — for on-the-go notes.
- A4 — for detailed work and study.
Match the Notebook to the Purpose
- Journaling: dotted, thick paper, lay-flat binding.
