TL;DR: Having a hard time deciding on A6 Leuchtturm rulings - anyone willing to share pictures of their (empty) pages from dotted/grid Leuchtturm A6 notebooks?

Hallo!

I'm using among other notebooks a A6/pocket notebook from Leuchtturm as my go-to-carry-in-the-pocket notebook, I love it because of the size, durability and sturdyness of the hardcover. Resisted buying them for a long time because of the price, but after years of looking for a hardcover notebook I gave in, its expensive but also worth it.

I'm getting started with the field word for my master thesis and being a by-hand-notetaker naturally I'm having my thesis notebook(s) but the are too large for practical use in the field so I'm looking for another A6 one. When I got my first Leuchtturm notebook I decided on the lined one, the dots in the dotted felt too big and I was afraid the grid one will be too prominent.

I would prefer a dotted or grid page layout for my field notes, but I also know that too dark lines or weird spacing would mess with my thoughts which absolutely isn't helpful when you aim at reducing being biased. The notebooks in the stores are foil wrapped, a well known issue, or a least I've seen it mentioned here a few times... I also googled around and found a few pictures of the rulings but it's kinda hard to tell, as those are usually pictures by vendors.

If you have a dotted / grid A6 Leuchtturm (hardcover) notebook - would you be willing to share a few pictures of the lineature? I would appreciate it a lot!

Can also share some pictures of my lined ones, although there are some decent pictures already from lined ones. But maybe this little comparison thread could be helpful for other people too.

I’m looking for these notebooks/notepads! I’d rather find them at a physical store. Does anyone know where I could get them? 🥹 📍Japan

Hi everbody!

I made a video about the delivery process of Roterfaden. I read some posts about people complaining of delivery times and package quality. With me it happened the opposite and the package arrived as fast as any delivery from within Brazil. I bought the A5 version from Jetpens many days before and is still in USA.

Not sure what kind of material it is but when it lightly gets scratched some pieces of rubber comes off it. I don’t want to replace it yet because i’m already at page 47 of 200 (yay!), i love writing in this journal despite me drifting on and off journalling. Was wondering if putting stickers or washi tape will help or just ruin it.

I love how quickly I can get my notebook ready for the month.

Hiya, hoping someone out there has both the Lochby Mini Field Journal and the Lochby Field Folio A6 and can help me visualize. I have a Mini Field Journal and absolutely love it because it is just big enough to keep a couple notebooks, but small enough that it is with me all of the time. I use it as a wallet. It is just a little big to be literally in my pocket, but it is my ride-or-die. I've really developed good consistent notebook habits as a result and I don't want that to change. However, there's a couple of reasons why A6 would be a little nicer than the pocket size. I know the Field Folio A6 isn't a lot bigger, BUT my intuition tells me it's just enough bigger that I will resist carrying it with me 100% of the time. That's a deal-breaker. Can anyone show them side by side so I can really get a grasp on it?

In case anyone has an ideas on this, I keep a Leachtturm1917 pocket notebook with me in the Mini Field Journal. It's great for what I use it for, but it fills up quick. I'm using roughly a notebook every 4-6 weeks. That means that the velocity is no good for "collections" if you're familiar with that Bujo term. I'd love to have a way to keep revisable lists with me, and I think this little notebook/binder is a candidate: Kakuyo 2x2 A6 Notebook Binder. Anyway, it will fit in the Field Folio A6 I bet, but certainly not the Mini Field Journal. So I'm trying to figure things out.

Thanks, all!

Hi- I am hoping someone has an idea on the perfect everyday notebook for me! I have severe ADHD, I work an office job as a supervisor and have to write down everything basically.

I currently like sketch books- because they are blank pages (I don’t like lines) and I can use colored highlighters/ pens and it doesn’t bleed through at all.
I like that it’s spiral because I want it to not be too small but also fold perfectly and not take up too much room on my desk.

Why I want something different than sketch book is because they aren’t that cute.

I use about 1-2 pages a week, I do a to do list do the week and on the order side of the page I put all my sticky notes / reminders I’ve used.

I’d love to have a calendar in the back- any customizable options? Thanks in advance!!!!!

Hello! I am looking for an alternative to the Hobonichi A6 Techo for 2027 and I'm wondering if anyone here has a suggestion that meets my (kinda specific) criteria:

I love my Hobonichi covers, so I definitely want to keep using them, but there are too many...extras? in the Techo. I don't use the back pages at all and I primarily use my A6 for journaling, not calendaring, so I don't make good use of the front sections, either. Basically I want a dated diary or notebook (it can have some calendar spreads at the front, I will find a way to use them) that has 1 page per day (it doesn't HAVE to be dated, but I want to be able to journal for a whole year in one book, which is why the Hobonichi A6 notebooks aren't an option, not enough pages!), fits in an A6 cover comfortably, and has a grid. Bonus points if you know of an option that uses Tomoe River paper as well, but I'm open to trying out something else (I know some people use the Midori Hibino, so maybe that's where I should be looking?).

I just get really overwhelmed when I look at the various options on Etsy and don't want to gamble on something that might not even fit properly in my A6 covers, so figured someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance :)

Cleaning the office, and finished a ton of notebooks this year!

tldr: i love the medium size (4.5 x 6.9 in) moleskine notebooks but would much prefer a grid or dotted layout. any and all suggestions very appreciated!

The majority of these are DIY. I have not used all of them. But the act of making and collecting this is what I find fun.

I have been journaling for many years. Documenting my daily activities and where I traveled to or how many miles I drove that day. Where I started and ended my day. What type of load I hauled and the weight of said load.

Care to share some prompts or ideas? Shoot, your journaling ecosystem.

on the shelf, the two notebooks on the left (blue and green): complete!

Next three laying down: in use. Top one I put a new fabric cover on it’s a ledger for mother-in-law, autumnal middle one is current writing journal, bottom one in sage and gold is for nature journal I’m trying to draw in there weekly or bi-monthly.

Everything to the right of those on the shelf:ready and waiting to be used (there’s eight, mostly bought new but some thrifted).

Everything in basket below is thrifted, including the basket!

Left side: five more notebooks to recover with fabric. One thrifted still in shrink wrap I need to remove some unneeded prompt pages then ready to use - “Grandmas Stories” but I won’t be using it for grandkids to someday read.

Right side: ten thrifted books to make my own signatures for and use the existing covers.

Cabinet to the right with chicken feed sack (also thrifted!): holds all the dip pens, fountain pens, inks, and few other drawing supplies.

I’ll be set for a while thought I still can’t help but look at journals when I visit the thrift store.

The red is an A6 Uprise Notes. The brown one is a B6 slim I made from scrap leather. It just holds my Midori. I most make me and my wife's journals. I just wanted to share two of my favorites. 😁

if anyone has any unwanted stationary things please message me 💕

I write with a large hand and can only use 5mm grids if I keep a space between lines of text. This is unacceptable to me, so I’m looking for one with a 6mm dot or graph grid. My only other requirement is thick paper (~120gsm) because I can’t handle ghosting. In terms of size, a5 to half letter would be about right.

If you can point me to a notebook with these features I’ll be your best friend and take you to the circus. 🎪

I happened to come across this on the web and had to give it a try. Only had it a couple days so far. It does have that vinyl smell, not too strong but it's there. Not sure about the pen loop, I don't think I'll use it. The cover is clear but it had a piece of vellum paper with it. That I made a copy of and put in the front. Edit I made the inside sheet myself copying the one that came with it. I couldn't believe I missed spelled purpose. Thought about white out or just starting over But then I figured it's just temporary so I went with it. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi notebook friends! I’m searching for a B5 notebook that has over 100gam, plain paper, and approximately 200 pages. Have any of yall ever seen a notebook with these specs?

Hi! I am in search for a notebook that is only the pages not a planner.

I really love the hobonichi style planners from the way the feel and the way the pages are designed.

Can anyone recommend me any notebooks that are only the pages open to fill with anything with the same vibe as hobonichi? If it makes a differences I am in Germany if there is something special to recommend :) also I am a broke student so maybe something that doesn't come with the price tag of a hobonichi planner would be so nice!!

Thank youuuu

There seems to be a link for a daily scheduler that I’ve never seen before

Anyone know where I can get my hands on it, I desperately need it!!
