How To Find The Perfect Notebook
Choosing the perfect notebook might seem like a simple task to some, but for stationery enthusiasts, it's nothing short of monumental. I’m sure many of you have stood in front of a shelf, overwhelmed by the vast array of colours, designs, and notebook types, wondering which would best suit your needs. Unfortunately, I'm unable to help you choose the perfect colour or design (that’s a deeply personal choice!), but I can offer you the ultimate guide to finding the Avorium notebook that’s right for you.
Let’s start with a classic—the ‘old reliable’ lined notebook. With evenly spaced lines that stop just shy of the bottom of the page, this style is versatile enough to serve a variety of purposes. Whether you’re jotting down quick thoughts or exploring your groundbreaking ideas, this notebook is a go-to for many, being perfect for:.
- The Chronic Scribbler:
It allows for to-do lists, quick notes, or any fleeting ideas to be easily penned in.
- The Deep Dive Journaler:
Ideal for those who love to reflect on their thoughts and experiences in greater depth.
- The List Lover:
Whether you section off your page into columns or leave it as is, lined pages are perfect for organising lists of all kinds.
- The Dreamer:
When your thoughts and ideas are too big to stay confined to your mind, lined pages offer a place to capture them.
- The Author:
Whether you’re brainstorming, drafting, or polishing your final piece, this type of notebook supports all stages of writing.
For a modern twist on this classic, check out Avorium’s lined notebooks. The lines are made of tiny dots, offering a subtle guide without overshadowing your words. Plus, our notebooks have optional larger dots at the top and bottom, perfect for those who want to add vertical lines or separate sections for a more organized approach.
Next, we have the ‘anything goes’ dotted notebook, ideal for the free-spirited note-taker. Dotted pages have surged in popularity in recent years, and it’s easy to see why. The grid-like pattern of dots offers a perfect balance of structure and freedom. You can easily adapt each page to fit the day’s needs, whether that means creating lined, dotted, or squared sections. This style is ideal for:
- The Musician:
Jot down lyrics and ideas, or even create your own music sheets.
- The Mathematician:
For when neat grids make calculations feel a tad less daunting.
- The Bullet Journaler:
Manifesting goals, tracking habits, and reflecting on experiences are effortless on a page full of structured freedom.
- The Artist:
Let the dots guide your creativity as you sketch and draw.
- The Chaotic Writer:
When traditional lines feel too restrictive, dotted pages offer the perfect balance of order and chaos.
Avorium’s very own dotted notebooks are perfect for meeting your needs, with a sizeable grid of dots covering most of the page, and a line at the top and bottom, giving you room to add a title or footnote to your page.
Lastly, we have the ‘forget me not’ planner, perfect for anyone who wants to keep track of their days in a more structured way. While this notebook offers a little less freedom than the others, it’s indispensable for those who thrive on structure and routine. This planner is a great choice for:
- The Prepared Planner:
For those who like to organise their days well in advance.
- The On-the-Day Planner:
If you prefer to plan your day just before it starts (or even while on the go).
- The Short-Hand Journaler:
Ideal for those who prefer reflecting on their day in smaller, more digestible chunks.
- The Deadline Watcher:
For anyone who feels more in control when they can track their deadlines in an organised way.
Avorium’s own diary boasts an undated style, with only the weekdays written out, allowing you to pick up your diary at any point and start writing! This is great for students or teachers who want to start and stop their diary in tune with their academic terms, or forgetful planners, who love the idea but struggle to stick to it weekly (you are seen and understood!!). Our diaries also include a to-do list and notes section, giving you extra functionality to help you stay on track even during your busiest weeks!
Choosing the right notebook is an important choice; it’s important to find the tool that best suits your creative, organisational, or reflective needs. Whether you’re a chronic scribbler, a deep dive journaler, or a deadline watcher, Avorium has a notebook designed just for you.
